Is there a formula or link that to determine how much candy you can expect when hatching an egg? I know I’ve seen posts in the past when someone didn’t get the amount of candy/magic they were expecting and I’ve always wondered how they knew how much to expect.
• In the Dragonarium, returning event dragons are showing as unavailable: this has been fixed; all dragons in the event market have green hourglasses and are breedable.
• Cost to evolve a dragon: the 'Evolve!' button is correct. It costs 1,000 Candy to evolve dragons during the event. The text in the pop-up window (stating 100 gems) will be fixed at the next data deploy. lisgie, if you prefer to spend gems, it’ll be best to evolve after the event.
• Spooky habitat limit: Deca is looking into increasing the limit.
• No costumed visitors: the Om of Nom decorations were selected because most of the event will run through November and trick-or-treaters might look odd in a couple weeks. But Deca will look at bringing the trick-or-treaters into the Vale on certain days if it’s not too much trouble.
Here are some items that were not mentioned on the forum but were brought up by Game Reps:
• No Lycan in the prize tiers: it appears not including Lycan was an oversight, so DECA HAS ADDED LYCAN AND ITS PEDESTAL TO THE TREATS TIER (even though you probably have plenty to breed, Lycan is a wonderful addition to a park; he changes appearance — so two for one!).
I added Lycan and its pedestal to the Treats tier on the first page.
• Rift habitats: new Rift habitats DO count against your habitat limit. This is intentional.
• Unable to purchase evolve dragons in Limited tier: these evolve dragons are not available for purchase unless you already own one. This is intentional. Also, while reviewing the event FAQ, I found this statement: 'Once you've acquired at least 1 Wrath, Porcelain, or Corrupticorn Dragon you can purchase more of that dragon or pedestal if you wish'.
I just evolved my plant dragon and it did actually take 100 of my gems and not candy.

It’s based on the incubation time for the egg. Approximately one event currency for each hour.

Okay, I heard back from the FB Rep. The text in the pop-up needs to be changed. The Ghostly primaries cost 100 gems. But evolving Love to Wrath, which was your initial question that I reported to Deca, costs 1,000 Candy, not gems. The text for Wrath (here’s a screenshot of the Wrath error) has been corrected. The pop-up message now reads 1000 Candy.
Sorry, I got confused when the dragon being evolved was switched
EDIT: just heard from Deca, and they’ll correct the pop-up text for the Ghostly primaries so it’s in sync with the Evolve button.

So, rift habitats no longer seem to count for your habitat limit.
I am at the habitat limit and I just noticed it was no longer greyed out. Checked habitats and the limit was not raised. So I bought one and it let me. The habitat as it comes only holds 2 dragons and only makes 6k DC. I am upgrading it for 12.5k E, but it takes 4 hours hours to upgrade and I’ve already spent way too much on this. It will let me buy another (if I had the candy), but it’s looking like a bad investment. Pretty though.
• Unbreedable Berry: Berry has been removed from the prize tiers. It will NOT be available for now. I removed Berry from the event tiers and breeding combos on the first page.
• No Misfortune in prize tiers: Misfortune and it’s pedestal has been added to the Spectral tier. (h/t FluffyRae. FluffyRae keenly pointed out Misfortune is in Scourge’s locked breeding combo — thank you, FluffyRae!)
• No blood moon: the blood moon’s disappearance on double day was not intentional. Deca has restored it.
• Nearly impossible to obtain a complete evolve decoration set: since the odds are extremely poor to receive the last few decorations through the mini-games, it’s not worth spending the gems for extra plays. The guaranteed golden chest (guarantees an unowned decoration), or the starter kits for Porcelain, Wrath, and Corrupticorn, addressed this problem. However, neither are in the Limited tier. Many players across the various DV communities have complained. I suggested to Deca that they look at last year’s Spellform and Xmas events for the guaranteed golden chest and last year’s Hallowe’en event for the starter kits. This should give some insight into how these items worked and why BFS found them so important. (h/t LynnMarie and sun)
UPDATE TO THE UPDATE
After reviewing the guaranteed chest and starter kit options, Deca just informed us they’ve instead decided to increase the chances of receiving evolve decorations through the mini-games (nothing added to the event market). Of course, this won’t help players who need one or two decorations, because duplicates are possible and all 30 decorations are still in play. So they’ll need to be remarkably luck or have a ton of gems to spare. And it also adversely affects players who have all the decos because they’ll now receive more decorations instead of other prizes. The Game Reps expressed dissatisfaction. I’ll let everybody know if anything changes, but if you need the evolve decorations, contacting Deca would help immensely.
Keep in mind, this is the first time Deca has considered adding the guaranteed golden chest or starter kits. So please be patient as they fully understand the deco collection process and obstacles, and the best way for them to address the issue.

Thanks for clearing this up adlerist. Do we know how long Wrath, Porcelain and Corrupticorn are available? They are in the limited tier but with no countdown.
Are they only available to evolve with candy while they are in the limited tier? ie once they are removed from the limited tier, they will only be available to be evolved with gems again.

Thank you adlerist for keeping us up to date with the event changes as they happen. Also with keeping us informed as to requests to Deca about evolve decorations etc.
If the reasoning behind including Misfortune in the event because it is part of the fixed breeding combo for Scourge, then Berry should also be included in the event as it is part of the fixed breeding combo for BogBerry (Bog+Berry) It is now the only dragon in the Om of Noms category not to be included in the event.
Still no Thicket. Thicket is the only dragon in the Spooky category not to be included in the event. I don't know what he did, but he must have been really naughty not to have been invited.
Really disappointed that the witches and wizards didn't have their spooky costumes on for Halloween. Deca thought it would be odd having them in spooky costumes for the whole event as it is a long event. The witches and wizards could have been in their spooky costumes for the first two weeks of the event. We have to wait a whole year for Halloween to see them in their spooky costumes. Two weeks isn't a lot to ask for.
Any word on whether the spooky habitat limit will be increased?

On a positive note, the Blood Moon has returned. :)
No update on raising the Spooky habitat limit.
Thicket is kicking it at the modern art exhibit.
I wouldn’t worry about Berry. He’s bouncing around like a beach ball — bound to make it into the Vale eventually.

Also I think someone should mention that duplicates of decos while the event is going on usually sell for 50 event currency not 10,000 gold then changed back to gold after the event ends. This would be useful for all players.

Are they only available to evolve with candy while they are in the limited tier? ie once they are removed from the limited tier, they will only be available to be evolved with gems again.
This was the explanation Deca gave us for no timers on the Limited tier:
The reason why the Limited tier has no timer is 'because they're not time limited. They're limited because you need to have them first.'
So it’s a really different definition of 'limited' than the game normally uses. Looks like Porcelain, Wrath, and Corrupticorn are here for the length of the event and can be evolved for 1,000 Candy. But of course you can’t buy them from the Limited tier unless you already own one. If you don’t own one, you have to be really fortunate at the mini-games with the evolve decos and have a lot of gems to spare.

Unfortunately, the Ornament of Porcelain, Tendril of Wrath, and Flame of Corruption are currently selling for 10,000 DC, not Candy.
I’ll see if Deca will change this, but so far, there’s not much benefit to getting tons of evolve decorations.

Deca is going to raise the percentage for evolve decorations in the mini-games by 'a lot'. Hopefully, that will help players who need to collect them. If it doesn’t, and you have a better solution, I encourage you to email them. Otherwise, there likely won’t be another opportunity for change until the next event with evolve decos and the discussion is brought up again.

Thanks for the update. But is buying pretty things ever a bad investment? :-)
• No blood moon: the blood moon’s disappearance on double day was not intentional. Deca has restored it.
It’s also at a different phase. It was less than full at the start of the event, and is now showing as full, like the moon that we earthlings see. Seems like the moon phase will change during the event, which might account for the first glitch.
I wonder if that will affect when Lycan transforms?

Thanks for posting this. I was pretty upset that I would have to sell habitats to buy these ( mostly for the pretty factor) but I went in and was allowed to buy two even though I’m at the limit. In the prize tier it has a green ✔️ For owning one but the counter still says zero 🤷🏻♀️ I’m guessing it’s a bug so if anyone out there is in the same boat as me, you may want to buy your rift habs now

So I wanted to see how much “a lot” will be.
I always play Guess the Egg, I like the guaranteed income 😉. On my last egg to guess, was the golden chests. After that free one, I literally could not resist buying another, and then another and than a few more 🙄. Here’s what I got .......
free chests: 50000dc, 24candycorn(cc), 38cc
The next 6 I bought at 5 gems each 1: 24cc, 24cc, 42cc 2: 26cc, 475000dc, purple porcelain 3: 26cc, 525000dc, 38cc 4: 30cc, 512500dc, yellow flame 5: 52500dc, 51250dc, 52500dc 6: 38cc, 525000dc, green tendril
I spent 30 Gems and received 3 of the items i will be needing for the transformation dragons. Deca did indeed raise the percentage “a lot” more, but is it still enough to make it possible to collect all 30 items. I don’t know. I’m assuming there will be many many duplicates to go through before completing a collection of ten. I’m saying now that I will not be spending any more gems on extra tries, but honestly, I’m probably lying to myself about that, especially if I am close to completing a collection, only lacking a piece or two. But, I will not buy any extra tries for the next couple of weeks and see how many items I am able to collect by randomly getting the chests.

That's... honestly not that different from when decorations plus sets were available. I spent hundreds of gems when glyph and pixie came out, completing not a single set. A DV friend spent the same and completed 3. It's a bad gamble unless you just want the decorations. I committed that crime on my christmas island + and roses.
Said DV friend could have had that in mind originally, one set being slowly constructed on a treasure island... but, rainbow wrath + curruption don't look all that great, though...

Thanks for the update. But is buying pretty things ever a bad investment? :-)
Okay, so the first upgrade went to holding 4 dragons and I think 10k DC (might have been 12k or something else). It offered another upgrade for 25k E. This upgrade was instant and went to 5 dragons and 100k DC. The last upgrade looks really cool and now it earns a decent amount. Oh and the story changes with each upgrade.
Now I’m going to see if it breaks putting a rift gem dragon in it.
edit: Didn’t break, but the gem dragon earned 0 DC in the habitat.

I can't believe I didn't expect these to be upgradeable. I spend my last 12k on themes and spooky habitats.
