My friend lost all her data when she updated her DV app last night! Has this happened to anyone else & what should she do? Thanks
I believe Backflip Studios has a FAQ in-game for Dragonvale or located on one of their websites that explains this problem. (Sorry, I don't have a link, but Google search 'Dragonvale FAQ Backflip Studios' for further detailed information.) "This can happen if you had to change your AppleID password, updated your iOS, were required to agree to new Apple Terms of Service, created a new Gamecenter nickname, or logged out of Gamecenter altogether." BFS recommends to make sure you log into Gamecenter and restart your Dragonvale application. If the park will still not transfer, BFS suggests that you contact them to make sure that your park has been fully transferred. Unfortunately, if your friend plays off of an Android, I have no troubleshooting information for that. Hope this helps

Thanks electronx - I've suggested she try that
Let us know how she gets on. If that fixes the problem she should join the forum, imo.
Ok, so Mr. Big Blue Britches does his fancy flight, I see the tick toc, tick tac measuring his fancy-pants dance, yes, my food has finished, a 19 breeding time remaining was reduced by six hrs., if I'm not mistaken. But, huh? No speed up on coliseum or age reversals in progress? I have on my "confused pants", I guess. I don't understand after he's turned to the left, airwave jettison flight completed, that I have an option to 'Summon'. (I understand he can only be brought forth by the guidelines stated, but the feature remains even though he just perched. His timer states 3:22, but I'm afraid I'd 'summon' him earlier & end possible further coin development if I do so. I've combed through this whole thread, felt everyone's frustration with rants I understand about last claw piece, my race track whirled off my island the second I was able to summon the big guy, but I'm wondering if there's a Quick Read Guide to optimizing my new friend & his(?) or her(?)'s full potential.
Age reversal is sped up, but not the Colosseum. Seems a bit of a cheat to me.
I think it's best to use him first thing in the morning. Get up, clear your park of coins, put the overnight eggs in the hatchery, start growing some 6 hour food and get more dragons to breeding. Then activate him and clear the coins again, as well as the eggs, etc as required. Though really, if you have more than 6 hours remaining on both caves and the hatchery you are getting the most out of him that you can.
You can summon him as much as you want without messing with your cool down period.
Got my 1st Garnet after several fails. I am still trying for a 2nd Bloom and I only have 1 Clover and Love but I figure they will all be back soon. I also need Emerald and another Pearl. I hate all the long fails and I refuse to spend any more gems so whatever I get, I get! Happy Hunting.
I cannot believe I am so excited about getting a firework dragon as a fail. As in whoopie, whoo-hoo, hot diggity doggies excited! That's two of everything except gemstones. Time to double up on garnet, I'm feeling the koala!

OMG, this is awesome. This is truly impressive starting out from November 1st. Looks like you had quite some Koala from this "Bring Em Back" event.
Thanks elektronx, koala indeed, so not complaining. I have however been trying non-stop for apocalypse on the island since 2 Jan with nothing but fails. Garnet attempts the same running in the cave, no luck. Karma is restored to my park, punishing for all the koala.
WOW! You obviously have a head for the game. To start November 1 and be this far along really takes some thinking and planning. Love the spreadsheet, huge congrats!
Lol, thanks Shirley. I guess addiction does that to a person. That and some koala I've spent a lot of time on the wiki and churning things in my head. I'm all about efficiency and the best way to achieve something. I know I play a "different" game than most but I guess that's the beauty of DragonVale, everyone gets out of it what they want, how they want.
This is fantastic! I'm all about putting things into excel documents. This is a really interesting chart, mind if I ask a question about it? Sorry, I just love tracking sheets of all kinds.
You've got 2 collumns (Gems@10 and Gems@15) I think I understand them. It's 2*[avg fail time]*[10/15 tries] The @10 number was then used as your budget. Then all the under/over spends were combined and the 144 is the total amount you wen over gem budget. Am I reading this right?
Thanks lemmyloop, would love to answer your question but you already have, that is exactly what is happening there. Sorry for not explaining that in the OP. The Gems@15 was kind of what I was expecting from the beginning to be honest.

Glad you've had a successful run this pas event. koala with your Apocalypse! It was quite a long run for me.
I have a question for the players level 40. When you race, is there still XP as prizes? If so, do you get to respin the wheel just like when you get a fragment from Kairos' perch you already have?

Something peculiar happened to me recently. I was always able to win 5 gems, 9/10 colosseum events. This was very consistent, I had certain dragons I knew to enter for each event, most of them had 3, 4 and some even 5-streak wins.
I then started turning all my shrines silver. Ever since I have not won anything gold except with my level 15 panlong in a water event. That was entire cycle of all the events by the way.
So from my perception, it would seem that the shrines are somehow linked to colosseum results. I'm now turning all my colosseum dragons level 15 to see if this improves chances.
I will give feedback as I go along.
Anyone else notice this?

I'm under the impression that the more players enter high-level dragons, the less chances you have to win the gold. If your dragon is, say, among the 20 % highest, then you win a gold... Between 20-40%, silver, etc. but I'm just assuming things. I've had shrines turn to silver and won more gold from those dragons.

The general consensus is to go to level 15. Most are using a Panlong on its elements as the payouts in gold are larger. Likewise paper with cold...for the bigger payout.
