I really want all the themes for my island. I was really disappointed when you could only place the plant on one.
I decided to save my monthly Gem income and purchase a theme per month.
In my Park, I touch the magic portal and the island theme options come up. When I hit the none tab, the Plant Theme disappears from the island and is stored in the portal. If I go over to my second,third, any of my other islands, I can move the theme by touching the portal and add it to the island of my choice.

So? It can't stay in the Dark Habitat? . why did BFS reward us with that Dark theme park for....kinda of misleading, lol.
Don't answer that K.
Hmm... Maybe it's to represent Halloween being a mixed bag of treats? Like BFS is saying, here take this, and take that, tossing out random candies to players.
The Nosferatu dragon isn't an epic dragon either. The Rift dragons aren't epic, but they coincided with the introduction of the Light and Dark elements, so they feel (to me at least) on the level of epic dragons.
You didn't say I couldn't answer...
*Poke*, you know how I feel about your posts . I just forgot, someone did mention its elements.
I'd like to add a little disclaimer to this strategy. While you get 25 candies for 15 gems, you also do not get any other benefit. So those gems go directly to getting those candies. However, if you spend gems on something like speeding up breeding for example, then you get the candies as well as some other benefit. So if you are low on gems, this strategy may be a good one. But if you have a nice stockpile of gems, it might be better to just use it on speed ups or upgrades.
I am trying to figure out if I should hold on to my gems/until double weekends, or is losing the additional points and not capping out the candy points distribution per day going to put me behind in the reward line?
I don't want to clog up the thread but Thank you LemmyLoop for putting all the numbers together. Thanks also to the community here for the time you spend sharing tactics to the game.
Koala to all
If we assume a two double weekends of three days each, then the best strategy is to hold 40x6=240 gems for double weekends. That will net you 480 candies. I think you said you have 500 gems. That means you can spend 260 gems at other times. Note that I haven't factored in your gem income or the giant habitat exploit. So you can actually spend more than that. Let's say a total of 650 candies from gems
Now I seem to recall the event will last 25 days with a potential for 165 non-gem candies per day. That's 4125 candies bringing the total to 4775. Probably more as I haven't factored in the double weekends here.
That's enough for both dragons, but not quite enough for the spooky theme. If you take out the gem candies, you will still have enough for both dragons, assuming you can max out each day, but you will be a long way off the theme.
Personally I think gems are for spending, but as they are a precious resource within the game , I try to spend only for a real benefit.

I'm dead confused at how many of the candy things I can earn in a day - on the post at the beginning of the thread it says max 40 on a lot of the ways you can earn candy - max 40 candies is that .
I have also noticed that I only get candy from two visits to friends is that right ??
Ok I got it - I understand how the max candies is reached per day - I've only got 500 gems so I don't think I'm gonna make it to the first theme - but let's see if I get both dragons that would be cool - lol I hate spending my gems
You might want to save your gems for a Upcoming Bring Everything Back event if you need a bunch of limited dragons.
At Park 3, I have around 600 gems. I usually wait for the double weekend and use gems to purchase the items that I would purchase anyway. During the firefly event, I upgraded all the gemstone habitats by one level and purchased several giant habitats during the double weekends. I plan to upgrade all my gemstone habitats to the next level and buy several more giant habitats that I would need in the near future.

Is anyone else having game centre issues since the event started? Yesterday I got up to 285 gems and suddenly game centre couldnt connect with server and that lasted the rest of the evening. When I got up still wouldn't connect and just now I finally got in again managed a couple of goes of dragon snaps and now back unable to connect with server, this is incredibly frustrating given how many flipping sets of snaps you have to grow to get all candy!

- Hatch, Display or Sell dragon eggs: worth 40, 20, 10 or 2. Max/day: 40
ElektronX, I forgot to say you seem to get nothing for display eggs. I incubated an Opal yesterday and that should have been at least 20, right? Well, no candy scores for that display egg.

Koala everyone.

I have GC problems on and off. You may want to try some of the following:
-Completely close out of the DV app -Shutdown and restart your iDevice -Uninstall and reinstall DV (your park will be fine as the data is saved on BFS servers, not your phone.) -Remove push notifications for everything not just DV -Remove inactive DV friends (this is if you have a lot of friends, it causes my phone to crash) -Turn off WiFi unless you are using it. If you are, turn off 3G -Reset your phone (this won't remove any data, but will reset your configurations, this is annoying but always works for me) -Send an email to BFS
ElektronX, I forgot to say you seem to get nothing for display eggs. I incubated an Opal yesterday and that should have been at least 20, right? Well, no candy scores for that display egg.
Is it possible you had hit your 40 candy limit for eggs already?
I'd test it with a quick Plant + Plant breed, but I maxed out hours ago.
I'll try to test it after the next reset if no one answers by then.

Has anyone commented about the wizard Whitbee yet? A very obvious reference to Whitby, in Yorkshire, where Bram Stoker's Count Dracula lands in order to find new blood in England.
Kindle park1: nearly all dragons are frolicking in their habitats! (A Thorny little problem to resolve...)
Smartphone park2: Geode, a dragon with rocks in! Still to breed 4 dragons...

Displayed an egg and no candies; haven't hit the Max yet.

Arg, sad but true. I am collecting obsidian eggs as Haloween decos, displayed the first:no candies; sold the second as a test, 20 candies. Guess my deco eggs are on hold until I hatch 40 candies' worth each day...

I agree with spending gems, but I am not sure at this point for me it makes sense to use them on the Spooky event. I really want an Opal dragon, but with fewer than 800 gems, I am not sure that I can even get enough for the opal by the end of the month. Also, I still do not have Frostfire which is needed for next month, so, I am really torn. However, I will probably hold onto my gems for a bit until I can decide if I can actually obtain an opal through gems if breeding does not produce one. I also have not been able to hit the max for yesterday or today even without the gems . I did not have problems with the firefly event, so, I am not sure why I am having so many problems getting my candy this time.
For selling eggs I get candies, I can swear on it. But I'm also completing my egg collection and I noted this.
I COULDN'T have hit my max then. I was loaded with the Opal, two Arctic fails and another long-term egg. And the Opal was the first one hatching after kick-off.
The Arctics sold at 20 apiece.
