The golden chests can give Mystery Eggs, I received a Twin Thunderbolt. These go straight to your nursery and not into your gifts, which is a great way to block up the nursery.

Not sure if this tip has been posted yet; given that maxing out on magic seems pretty easy, wait until you are at max before collecting from the floating Tolzar eye for visions, you get gems, collect from it before you max out, you get magic...sorry if I’m repeating a previously posted tip 🤣
Having the same problem here...I see the magic ‘bubbles’, but the counter is stuck at 1926 for the day. Anyone have any ideas?
Same thing w/me, stuck but not maxed out. Went into the Rift, bred & sold ‘em enough to max out at 1,000. I think there is some kinda limit on how many payoffs are made on habitats.

I just received a twin Frostfire. Wasn’t aware that dragons could drop from those chests so that was certainly a surprise.
not happy with this event and wasn't happy with last event. making it more and more that I don't want to play any more. I want to be able to breed the dragons. So what if it takes me months and I breed a kazillion dragons I don't need. I sell them so I can buy that new island and clear it for my kingdom. Send a word to the powers that be that folks are getting really depressed and deciding to go elsewhere to play and spend money.

I for one am not going for the fresh dragons. I even think they give you more pleasure "stale". Some show up in the rift for a pleasant surprise
I'm just thinking of getting them later and taking care of the ones I have now.
I mean, what's the use of so many costumes if they just crash my park? I've already had to shelve my island themes.
As someone pointed out here, buying an electronic device just for this is a no-investment.
I’ve massively changed my attitude about the game in the last year. I refuse to spend real money on it anymore and I’m not so precious about using gems and wishes. If I miss a dragon in an event I’ll use a wish and if I don’t have a wish left I’ll wait for BEB.
I have said it before, why do I need to keep thousands of gems for a rainy day... that rainy day arrived when they brought in these collection events. I save them up between events and use them when I need to.
It’s worked really well for me, I’ve not missed a dragon (I used a wish for Rigel) and I plan to do the same for Secrets of Spellform.
Life is stressful enough without letting a game get us down. Enjoy the successes of what we can get and get the rest the next time. The good things in life are worth waiting for... well that’s what my Mum always said when I wanted something I couldn’t have straight away 😉
For those not happy about the lack of breeding in this event, keep in mind that events over the past year have followed a trend. The initial dragons are not available to breed, only clone, and that there are limited dragons made available that can be bred. Normally we get one that first weekend, but I'm guessing it will be next. The last event made it impossible to breed limited without owning the initial dragons, lets hope that requirement dies with that event. This gives me another week of working on BeB dragons in the rift, or a few missing eggs outside.
I have been playing the Magic Tap in my test park. Have bought 120 plays so far, for 600 gems. Lost 11 chests, my reflexes aren’t all that great. Out of the 109 chests I managed to catch I got 38 pieces. 14 of those were repeats. So far I only have both costumes for Outrider, nothing else is finished. Did 23 plays now after reset and only got 2 new pieces. This is going to be really hard, like mission impossible hard maybe. I don’t know, still early in the event, so who knows. Out of all those chests I did get 17 gems back and 7 different dragon eggs. I have only used the Magic Tap, haven’t tried anything else.

Quil— just trying to get some clarification. Initial dragons being drawcowl, outrider, quantum and riptide, or is that incorrect? Sandbox had them up and i was just relying that. Not sure who the initial dragons are. Sorry for the confusion!

The cap on the Parade Gardens and the cap on collecting from habitats are the same cap — 500 Magic per day (1000 on a double day). Usually the habitat cap exists if there is no daily cap on event currency, but not with this event. We now have caps within caps!
If you’re collecting from habitats and/or the Parade Gardens and the event currency counter isn’t moving, but the community contribution is increasing, you’ve probably reached the max. However, you should still be able to collect Magic from breeding, hatching, mini-games, watching ads, etc. If not, contact Backflip, because with caps inside caps, you’ll definitely want all the Magic you earn to count.

Anyone get a count of the Petrified W & Ws? I found 5, the last being the ‘Gal w/the Push Cart’ who put me at the 2K Daily Limit.
Can anyone confirmed the limit? During collection tonight I found Kelani three times. I am over the 2000 limit. I closed and rebooted, returned to the game and found him again. Yesterday and this morning I was not paying attention to which statues were collected, but finding him twice in a row, I began to count.
When the game resets, there are five statues to find, one for each adult DV mascot, although you may receive duplicates like two Kalenis and no Gardenia. (I believe Elminster has recently turned to stone as well, I’ll double check and report back.) The statues reappear 12 hours after the daily reset, not all at once, but one at a time over a course of many hours. So I’m not sure what the total number of statues you’ll receive in your park will be during a 24-hour period, since I don’t search for them as I’ve usually reached the currency cap before the re-spawning occurs.
Also, Backflip did fix the payout for the statues after you’ve accumulated 1000 Magic (or 2000 on double days). Initially, you received nothing if you tapped a statue after hitting the cap. Now, you get 20,000 DC. This is identical to the Valentine’s event; it also paid zilch post-cap, then was fixed and paid DC. For me, it still isn’t worth the time to rake through the Vale for a simple 20k.

Finally got lucky and acquired my first spellform piece. It's Outrider's orangic tail, and I'm very happy because I think Outrider is my favorite from this event. Seriously, I just want to take him home and cuddle him. He's adorable. ❤
Edit: I just got Ouroboros from a golden chest. I've wanted one for quite some time, so this came as a pleasant surprise.

We share our physical lives with those in spirit. For life, like love, never dies. Love knows no limits, not even death.
I like the Altar of Alteration as a storage idea, it would be nice to have like a big toychest to store all the Christmas event decos (feathers, cocoa mugs etc.), and something for the flames, tendrils, and porcelain decos (forgot the event), maybe something like a cremation urn (I kind of crashed and burned on that event...) It could just be an option in the market, not a necessary item, just a place to keep all those doodads so we can still use them (unlike putting them in the storage tower, where they take up a lot of expensive space and have to be taken out to be used), but not have them clutter up the islands. Of course, those who want to integrate them into their park decor could still do so.

So I guess the Parade Gardens is working exactly as they intended. This is the response that I received from BFS support:

Jun 25, 13:54 MDT Hello,
Thanks for your email! Please be aware that the amount of Magic you can receive by collecting from habitats and the Parade Gardens is capped at 500 per day on a regular day, and 1000 per day on a double day. I apologize for any confusion this has caused.
For the last couple of days, I’ve had difficulty finding Elminster with the Prismatic Pantheon. Yesterday, I thought I saw him looking rather statuesque. Today I can confirm he is, in fact, a statue. When tapped, he gave a gem. It seems the Elminster statue is identical to wandering Elminster, offering a gem or 20k.
It’s definitely not a good time to be an adult in the Vale.
(I apologise for the shoddy image. This is the best pic I could get of Elminster, even with low resolution turned off. His back is towards you to give some sense of what you’re looking at.)
Edit: here’s a better image of Elminster’s statue, taken the next day (26 June).

I went through my Park conscientiously looking for Petrified Witches & Wizards for the last 2 days. Found all of the Flaggers easily but only found 6 W&Ws each day...almost not worth looking for them.
On another note, I have always been pretty skillful at Dragon Drop, until this event. Having played it every day since the Event started, I have only hit the highest value Chest ONCE! ONCE in 30 tries! In previous Events I was hitting the the highest value Chest (50 or 100) once every 3.75 tries. Me thinks they made it harder, like they did with the Dragon Track.

Completely agree with you— I’ve been able to successfully max out every day and contribute a few hundred to the community pot without getting all the petrified witches and wizards, I tried to get them for the first few days, and before I know it, I’ had spent 30/45 minutes hunting.
I think an escaped koala happened upon my park today. I have been trying and trying to clone Outrider with no success so finally purchased it with magic yesterday evening. By-the-way, I noticed yesterday that when playing name the egg, some of the chests contained magic and that, even after I reached the daily maximum, the magic in those chests counted towards my total magic earned.
But, back to the koala...this morning I noticed someone had Quantum in the co-op so bred my Outrider with that Quantum and got Quantum on the first try! I can't believe it, lol. It shouldn't have happened, and yet it did. Shell shocked. And happy.
I wish I could remember the order of events. I know that this morning I looked to see if I had all the pieces for Quantum and I did not. I can't remember whether I got the final piece for one of the costumes before or after I cloned it. I can definitely say I only have one complete set for it.
