I would potm the post of skitch because his (her ?) tip with the giant habitat is so helpful. But he (she) is only a guest. So, come on skitch, become a member and you have the chance to be nominated for the post of the month.
Oh. I thought Skitch was a member. Forgot for a sec that guests could choose names. Yeah. Skitch's strategy already made it onto the DV wiki on the firefly page. From the first post! Lol. That's like Julian Green scoring that US goal on his first touch of the ball

Thanks to all for the great speed ups to get ff's...however even with these it seems to me this is waaaaaaayyyy slooowwer than the easter egg event and especially last winters magic event...anyone else feeling this way? Its taking me two to three days to get enough ffs to complete a step (so far I just have the dawn decoration and pedestal...half way to dawn egg) I really don't think the rewards sre worth the stress...I don't need more stress...I just want to relax and play with my dragons....am I being a scrooge?

I have accumulated about 404 Ffs, little less than 1/2 way toward the Unhatched Dawn Dragon. I think I am missing about 16 Ffs or so, but I am okay. Yes, it is slow, that is why I dont feel the stress. It is a lot slower than the Light/Dark event, and about same pace w/ the Easter Egg Event.
I dont deviate very much from my daily game play.
You are right there w/ everyone; should be no stress what so ever, relax, enjoy the event, while playing w/ your dragons.
Welcome Skitch. And may I say you have chosen a very auspicious Avatar. As I am sure wapatango will attest.

No, I must disagree. The only avatar worse than that is a pile of bones. Skitch, Since you are new, I want to warn you to keep your distance from GregDarcy. He is not only a dragon eater, but he has been known to eat people as well. He especially likes eating smart people. I think he hopes that he will gain some of their knowledge and wisdom... It hasn't worked.
I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

I do get that sensation. Moreover, I'm worried my learning curve hasn't been as sharp as the rest of you, considering I'm barely peeking above 400 to the dawn egg myself.

I am also just above 400 ffs. However, I am not willing to be stressed by this event, I play pretty much like I played before. And if my dragons never see the night sky again after this event, so be it. It would be nice to get the celestial habitat, so I might try harder during double ff weekends. In the meantime I am happy to see my second Hydra breeding and just like to feed and hatch my little dragon zoo.

Have fun creating your own. And for the record, as long as you join my side of the skirmish, you are safe.

I'm beyond annoyed with this event. I liked the magic event the best so far, you could grt everything for free at the cost of time or spend a few dollars and get everything without the time commitment, and the magic was easy to get and diminished at a far pace(except bushes). Eggs I didn't like because you had to pay. This one I've becomes annoyed with because I miss 2-6 Ffs a day that should be easy to get (collecting cash and growing treats) even if I grow dragon snaps for 2 hours and collect coins every time I can. I just feel that it shouldn't be next to impossible to max out 2 of the possible ways to get fireflies. Anyway. I'm just going to give up on the dang twilight tower and stop mass growing dragons snaps and worrying where those last 4 fireflies are.
Just to be clear it's not the number of fireflies I'm not getting that bothers me (4 isn't a big deal) it's the fact that its seemingly impossible to get them that's annoying me. Also my gems stash is like 150 so I can't afford 30 gems a day so I've just been doing 15 for 25 FFS.
EDIT: after posting this rant i finally got the last 4 fireflies I needed for the day that I had been trying for for over an hour 2 from food 2 from collecting cash. I swear I grew over 100 dragon snaps between fireflies. (Might explain my slightly aggressive tone in the post)

Gem friends are full. But I love seeing new parks!
Still need: cyclops, snowy silver, arbor, bouquet, dream, sprout
This may be nonsense but I think varying the treats you grow gives you a better yield. If I've had several unsuccessful batches of dragon snaps I will plant something else- go and do something productive and often come back to a few ffs and then get some from my next batch of snaps too.

Maybe the ffs are allotted over the day. You can get 24 at your first round, maybe 4 more if you grow al ot of snaps but the others will only be visible when a piece of time passed.
On my second account I played one day of this event just before the firefly reset, and was astonished how many ffs I got with only one sweep. (Wouldn't count on this in my main account though - if it doesn't work, then there won't be enough time to get the rest of the ffs)

Nope... I've definitely gotten all 40 in a single habitat sweep before. However I have 75 habitats out, I've stopped emptying them unless it's for fireflies, and it's just barely enough, so for most people it'll probably take 2-3 sweeps.
Same with Dragon Snaps. Getting the last couple of fireflies can take about 5-20 minutes of tapping. It seems like BFS went overboard with the diminishing returns.
Maybe the odds "replenish" during the day, but I wouldn't know because I try to do it all in one sitting so I don't miss a single firefly.
