Sorry if I have missed this somewhere looked but didn't see. When do we need to make sure
we take the dragons from each cave that we want?🐉🐉🐉🐉

Just before the end of the event.
You can pick from caves even if they are not active
But you have to do it until the end of collecting
The prize market is open a bit longer so that you can change your magic eggs against prizes but when the collecting ends the caves disappear and with them the chance of claiming your eggs.

Just as an added note, I forgot to collect my eggs from the caves last time, and consequently discovered that random eggs had been placed in my Gifts from the caves ... of course the least interesting of the eggs I had collected, but still better than losing out completely.

Thank you Crumble and GladeMaid much appreciated.😊

In both of my two parks, I have half the decorations needed for evolving the new dragons. One park has no black decorations while the other has no green decorations. I know that there are always a couple of decorations less common than others so it is harder to complete the set, but all of one colour?

Some decoration colours are more rare than others, but it varies depending on the type of decoration. Quil posted this based on extra mini-games played and what’s in the file.

[wapatango]

I have only played a couple of events with evolve decorations, but there does seem to be a significant difference in the number of decorations you can get without spending gems in this event versus those others. I have never spent gems for the extra game plays since gems are needed for so many other things like speeding up breeding attempts. In both of my parks, I still only have 2 decorations although my little park did get a third which was a duplicate. I have three each if you count my unopened chests sitting in my gift menus. After thinking about it, I believe that there are two main reasons for the difference. First, eggs and visitors only give event currency. In previous events they occasionally gave decorations and even dragons. Second, we no longer receive a gift along with gems on double days. Just as earning currency was harder last time because Deca simplified the event, I think decorations have become more scarce because of those small changes. Would others who have been playing all these years agree, or are chests also popping up far less often in the mini-game? I’m not upset, nor am I trying to make others upset. I’m just curious. I like to analyze things and figure them out, and I have been surprised at how few decorations I have gotten for these evolve dragons.

Hi wapatango. I don't think that it is more difficult to get decorations in this event than in past events. Like you I had a long pause in playing DV but started right before the Christmas event 2018. There were 10 evolution dragons and each needed 10 decorations. On top the mini-games were not my favorites. the free chests were very rare. I remember everybody talking about all those decos they already had when I only had two. Then I started my training in one of those mini-games and bought a lot of plays. I ended up having all decorations and all new evolution dragons.
This time I early went ahead and bought extra plays. Name that egg is my favourite game. I spent round about 500 gems (after all: what for are those gems ?) I only lost two plays (tapping before thinking) and got 24 of the decorations. With selling the duplicates and a bit of the magic eggs I got from those plays I bought 3 chests. I opened the gifted chest and was only missing one more deco which I intended to get on day 24 as gift. Yesterday morning I got another chest from a free game and was thrilled that the missing piece was in it. So I now have all decorations. I know I was really lucky.
My gems are amassing anew. If I'm not too generous with speedups I will soon reach my standard gem amount again.

I think if you really want to evolve those dragons you should spend the gems early. That way you have more time you can use for cloning while people share those new dragons in coop.

If you don't care about having those evolution dragons in the rift you can also buy them. At least this is possible in this event (it was not possible in that Christmas event)
The other event dragons (woodvine and Clairvoyant) will most possibly be available to breed in future BEBs. But evolution dragons not. Instead of you then might be able to buy decorations with gems but they are really costy. (I don't know if it will be like this with Deca, but it has been like this in the past)

I think there is a significant difference in the way decorations occur when buying extra plays. I always do the guessing the dragon egg, and mostly guess correctly every time. In the previous event, this rewarded me with many decorations - admittedly many duplicates, but sufficient to sell of a heap of those and I think I only bought one chest from the market at the very end.

This morning I spent 15 gems on three extra guesses and not one single decoration resulted. It was all dragoncash or magic currency. In the previous event I made it a habit to only spend the gems I'd collected daily from friends, and this gave me most of the needed decorations. With 54 billion dragoncash in the bank (after buying the most recent island), the last thing I want to spend gems on is MORE cash!!!

I think I'm grumbling, and feel rather bad about it because I'm so happy to still have my dragons and this forum to visit daily since the start of the game quite a few years ago now.

Clairvoyant percentages:
One parent normal or rift caves: 5%
One parent social cave: 1%
Two parents normal or rift caves: 30%
Two parents social cave: 5%

So the percentage is up, but it's still a low 5 percent. At that rate, half the people will get it after a dozen attempts. By 50 tries, only 7-8% of the players will still be trying. By 100 attempts, 1 out of a thousand will still be missing it.

<🍷🍷🍷>

So here I am, 9 days later, still trying to do a two parent social cave clone of my Clairvoyant, and still having no luck.  I've done some amount of speeding breeds up with gems, but it gets pricey very quickly with the long fails.  I appear to be in the lucky 7-8% so far.  Hopefully I'm not the 1 out of 1000!  Maybe I'm offering up the wrong kind of wine?  What do koalas like?  Perhaps a nice Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc?

</🍷🍷🍷>

I have been trying soooooo many times as well. Finally got a second one last night, was hoping for a twin but nope... At least I have two. I will probably try to breed in runic caves because I only need a few more twins to have them all again and only a few rifts needed as well. Need to update my profile speaking of...

I didn't think you could clone monolith dragons - but I just did.

Mono 6 + Flower in the rift yielded 3 more mono 6 dragons today. Not sure whether deca have taken pity on us and changed the odds or if I was very lucky.

If anyone wants an extra mono to evolve, single parent cloning might be better than the listed breeding pair (any two monoliths).

koala all!

I have been trying for almost two weeks with two monolith 6 in the rift and the regular breeding cave and no luck. I will start trying with monolith 6 and flower and see what happens. Thank you.

I don't know if anyone else is having this problem but for the last 4 or so times I have tried to watch the video for the 2 extra gems in the colosseum I got the Oops Tolzar message and no reward. I wonder if it's just in my park or if it's a thing.

It happened to me quite often before.
I have an old processor. Before, it would crash on Tolzar. But those screens coming up seem to signal no lo-res ads can be found. At any rate, I take it as an indication "don't try now".

Ya, it has happened to me quite a bit before too. And I too have figured out it is an indicator that I should try another time, which works fine except when it comes to the colosseum. There are no second chances there. If you get that message watching an ad for the 2 extra gems from the colesseum that's it, that's all.  And I've been getting that message only during the colesseum ad for the last several tries. Made me wonder if it was an issue with the colesseum ads. Probably just something in my park. Hopefully it will pass.

This is my official whine post.

I keep trying for Woodvine with my Elder Air dragon, but all I get are Trees, Trees and more Trees. I've got enough that I can put them together and make a Forest. And the fact that they all have a 14 hour timer is just cruel. 😥 What an awful tease, thinking I cloned a Woodvine but it's just nope nope nope.

I wrote a post about Tolzar’s visions/ads that addresses this issue. Scroll down to the section titled Colosseum. Basically, it’s a matter of waiting for Tolzar’s Optical Oracle to appear in your park and keeping your game session short. The more your park grows, the longer it takes for Tolzar’s Oracle to arrive and the shorter your session is allowed.

I haven’t had any problems receiving the Colosseum ad since posting that in November. In a couple hours, the Colosseum will be ready in my game. If the ad doesn’t show, I’ll let you know.

Reason 1 I have covered. I always make sure Tolzar is in the park. But reason 2, I didn't know about and have no idea if I am in too long when I try to watch the ad. I will be hyper aware of that the next time I try to collect which will be about 18 hours from now. Thank you adlerist. You are absolutely awesome!!

Yup! Same here. Each time I got the 14hr. timer I jumped to the social menu to see if it was Woodvine, only to be disappointed. I finally gave up. I did however clone a Glyph in the CBC, which made me happy

I am down to one Burcadian breeding cave. Will more open up up or do I have to spend RL money to get more before the end of the event?

There is a second breeding cave that is activated for double days. Every Saturday and Sunday has been a double day, and sometimes there is one mid-week.

Whaddya know?  Almost immediately after reading your post amos, I finally bred my second Clairvoyant. Looks like some of your koalas found their way over to me. Do they read this forum?  Anyhow, koala getting your few remaining twins!
