I just tried collecting from my habitats and also didn’t collect a thing. I had to eventually breed some plant dragons to get to the limit. Ahh, the good old days.☹️
Same thing happened to me, several times, zero magic from collecting from all habitats. I emailed them and they said that they checked with the devs team and nothing is wrong. Asked me to send a video.
I've only had this happen once with one of my habitats. I tapped on a bunch of them, but one of them didn't give magic. Aside from that everything seems to working normally in my park.
My only complaint is that I can't seem to clone any of the new dragons. So I'm making this my official whine post because come on already! Those new dragons are so adorable, and I can't even breed one of them. 😥

On my 4th & final trip into DV today, after 11:00 PM MST, as usual, I played my 2nd Dragon Drop of the day. After Hatching & Breeding, with 258 Magic needed for my Daily Limit, I started collecting from Habitats...funny thing, I collected ZERO, ZIP, NADA Magic from ANY of my 242+ Habitats! Nothing! No magic!
I tell you, they are messing around w/us BIG TIME! And I’m not liking it one bit!
Same here. Last night at 11:00 pm PST, I was unable to collect anything from any habitats. Then this morning at 9am PST when I played the Tolzar visions, the magics from the ads went back to adding to the daily max, but NOT towards the total once you reached max!! What is happening?!
grandpakennywillowthecat - It is probably the 500 on regular, 1000 on doubles habitat cap that we normally have with events.
I thought there was only a cap on collecting from habitats during events that had no daily cap on collection of event currency.
It is all a guess at this point and finding out from multiple people because we do not have a FAQ for the event yet and might not get one. We also do not know what coding was set up for the last event that might still be working for this one. DECA is now running things and this is the first event since the changeover so I expect there to be hiccups along the way until they get a better hold on things.

So, that means that only half of the daily limit may come from Habitat collection? Thanks for the ‘heads up’ amos , I guess was absent the day they taught that.

ladyj - Same in my park. Earlier in the event Tolzar was going to daily total, then a couple of days ago and yesterday Tolzar ad magic was going to overall total and today it is going to daily total. 🤪
I can report that golden chests are going to overall total and not daily...today, could change at any given time. One showed up in free plays and I snagged 2 magic swirls.

Thanks for this info...Hmm... I have a few gift chests saved in my gifts... Given this "inconsistency", maybe I should go ahead to claim it now?!

It is hard to reach the daily max of magic in this event, but I’m not complaining. So far I’ve managed to breed a TLY, and clone Daylily, Aquacorn, and Whirlwind (plus its pedestal).
Don’t make me beg! Oh all right cloned with what please o successful one?
This may be a stupid question, but how do you give and receive gold chests? I received a few and evidently gave some when the event first began, but nothing past day 2.
The gold chests we were getting on double days stopped with the last in-game update by DECA. The only chests now are in the games on the event island.

They say misery loves company, so I guess I will join you. I wasn't able to clone any of the main dragons in the last event, and my success rate hasn't changed in this event. May we both be blessed with cloning successes and the dragons we desire.
Hi All..agree with everyone who is having difficulty reaching the daily limit. I am managing it but spending up to 10,000 E daily and keeping eggs loaded to be hatched and sold plus using lots of gems to speed up breeding & hatching. I can also confirm tolzar gives you the 50 magic in the total after reaching your daily limit and the same with golden chests given from friends on double days. Is anyone getting a frozen screen after competing in the coliseum? The 5 gems go to my total, and the screen comes up asking if I want to watch a vision for 2 extra gems, but then it freezes and I have to reset which of course loses the opportunity to gain the 2 extra gems. I emailed DECA and they said nothing was wrong with my game. Huh? Should I email back? It’s happened the last 4-5 days. Thanks!
I have found that even though my device is less than a year old and has plenty of memory, I need to force close everything, including DV before going into my park. If I don't, ads always crash. I hope that helps you also.

Thank you crumble608 Thank you rulilind Like others, I am also not getting tolzar magic towards the total anymore, if the daily total has been met. @kiwichris I cloned aquacorn in co-op with ghostly cold...it took over 20 tries though! 😬
edit-I love my purple tags 💜

For what it’s worth, I used elders: elder Earth + Whirlwind, elder Air + Daylily, and elder Ghostly Cold + Aquacorn.
Lots of kiwikoalas to you, my friend!

grandpakenny, willowthecat, oomagooma25, DragonMoonX, ladyj, et al., On Double Magic Day, there’s a cap of 1,000 Magic on habitats. BFS had the same practice of implementing habitat caps within daily caps. It’s purpose is to prevent players who have lots of habitats from reaching the daily limit in one or two collections of their park. If a player has 250 habitats (many players at level 135), and every one produces Magic and/or there’s no habitat cap, they’ll reach the daily Magic limit in two collections. Since the valuation of a mobile game is determined by performance indicators, including the number of sessions, games usually encourage players to play more than twice a day. BFS used event currency caps to achieve this. And since Deca is using BFS’s events as a template, we’re seeing it again. I’m not saying it’s a good practice or fair, but this is the intention behind it. I’m sure BFS also didn’t want to make events too easy and was encouraging the sale of event currency.
What’s making it more difficult to reach the Magic limit in this event is the loss of daily rewards from the event Advent calendar, special visitors and hidden items, competing with our friends’ dragons at the mini colosseum/amphitheater, and the Oracle only offering 2 ads daily (until it was recently changed to 3 ads). Each of these items does not produce a lot of Magic on their own, but collectively, it’s significant enough to make this event more challenging than others to reach the daily limit. While a bare bones event is easier to produce and operate, and an ideal way for Deca to test the waters, it appears they did not realise the consequences of eliminating so many elements from an event.
I’ve only seen one post on Reddit discussing the difficulty of earning Magic, so Deca may not be aware that this is a problem. If we don’t want to see this again, it’s worth sending a quick email to them. Realistically, they can’t add the missing elements from the event, but we can certainly suggest they rid of the habitat cap on Double Days and add more Double Days to compensate.

I shall send gems and treats your way in enormous gratitude!
dragonglow, I think you just bred a second twin Daylily with mine — you are the Easter-ly Daylily champion! Also, thanks so much for sharing your Aquacorn. I cloned one, but still need to work on our twin version (obviously not as good at this as you are). Cheers!
amaranthia, I forgot to re-blue-heart Daylily for 30 seconds and in that time she may have been unavailable when you re-bred. Very sorry about that! I hope you were able to use another friend’s Daylily to clone.

I am enjoying this event, it's a tad old school which is alright by me. The only thing I wish is that there was a bit more consistency. I don't know if tolzar's magic is going to go toward the total or the daily limit on any given day since it seems to fluctuate. I'm not sure if I should bother watching ads if I've already collected the total for the day but at least I only have to watch one if i am getting nothing for my time. Since I'm not sure yet which way Deca is going with anything it's always possible the chest gifts from friends could come back during doubles I suppose. It's likely Deca is still working out the kinks. Anyway, I am happy with the event and thankful to have new content. It feels like Deca is sorting through the options used in the past and finding their way. The one I really hope they decide to toss is the punishment for spending money on the game. I really hate that.

Oh, that's right. Why didn't I think of that?
There are elements missing like the daily rewards and the mini colosseum. No wonder we aren't getting as much magic. Silly me to forget. But yes, that makes perfect sense.

Cloned Daylily by using Flower, Aquacorn with Icy Torrent, and Whirlwind with Sandstorm. Trying to clone Poshwing now with Luminous.

Thank you adlerist for the explanation of why the magic is so hard to collect this event.
The other thing that I have found that has made a difference is the games available to play - Dragon Drop and Name that Dragon. With Name that EGG, I could guarantee receiving maximum magic, now I don't. Only small amounts of magic short, but with everything else it adds up.
As for Tolzar, he can't do anything right - not visiting all parks, different number of times per park, magic is added to daily total and/or overall total and then changes part way through an event.
It was nice earlier in the event, to have the Tolzar magic added to the overall total rather than the daily total. Unfortunately, I think this caused some people to feel that they were missing out.
When Tolzar's magic is added to the daily total, some people use this magic to reach maximum for the day. Earlier in the event, when Tolzar's magic was being added to the overall total but not the daily total, people were not taking into account that they had received 1000 magic (possibly more) and felt they were being short-changed as they couldn't push the daily total to the 1000.
Where we are missing out is that if you have maxed out for the day, Tolzar is only offering magic - which is not counted - instead of in previous events where he offered a gem.
