So I finished a 24 hour quest at 8:30pm tonight and started a new one that is 18 hours. So should I try to speed it up before the double eggs are over or would I not get credit for the quest if I speed it up tomorrow?
I have sped up quests and gotten both gem and quest gems for them (even just this morning. I got 4 eggs for a 2-hr quest I left overnight. Then 36 more eggs + 6 eggs for the 3 gems I spent to speed up a 3 hour quest, for a total this morning of 46). It is possible since others have had different experience that it is more likely to lose the eggs for gems spent when it comes to quest speedups.
Hello. So im new to dragon vale communitys and stuff. i've been playing for 2-3 years, im level 38, i've never focused on XP related things, i just breed epic dragons and thats about it
So my question is, how do i do well in events? I see some of you have the habitat already, and i've only just got the paths. I collect dragoncash, make food, get gold in the arena thing almost every time (cant remember the name), do the quests, breed dragons and sell them, and i think thats it. I dont get much eggs/points. :/
Snowflakes and Monoliths have the exact same earning rates last I checked.
Does anyone know if each Monolith Dragon has three elements assigned to it with monolith similar to how the Snowflake dragons were with three elements and snowflake?
Four elements each actually.
Each of them has Earth, Water and the Monolith element + one more that varies by type:

Please refer to the Original Post, the very first post of this thread, section Collecting Eggs.
There are few things that you are missing:
- Gem buddies, visiting your friend's park and receiving gifts from them - Removing obstacles - Spend gems - Find the hidden golden magic egg
Playing frequencies? How often do you log in the game?
I usually wait until I give my gifts to collect gifts. However, since doubles will soon be ending I took advantage of the 240 egg limit on gifts and went ahead and collected the gifts that came in from yesterday before the limit drops back to 120. I will not be sending out gifts tonight, but will once again wait until after tomorrow's reset time in preparation for more surprise double days.

I dont have friends in dragonvale No obstacles. Almost no gems. I do that aswell.
Everyday when theres an event, when there isnt maybe once a month.
Thanks.
If you want to do well in events, that is what you need to change. When there isn't an event, you need to go in daily to at least reset your colosseum and collect gems from your gem dragon habitats so you have a stash to use during events. You also want to collect coins so you can buy more islands, but wait to clear them until an event starts and then clear them slowly. The other reason to go in daily is so that you can find some reliable gem friends with whom you trade gems. Most people won't want to send you gems if you are only playing once a month. During events you need to go in multiple times a day to regrow treats, collect coins, and breed more dragons so you can sell/hatch more eggs. The events take time and work if you want to achieve all rewards, which is why many people don't like them.
If you are not willing to do these things, the only other option is to spend real money to buy lots of eggs or miss the event rewards.

True. I cant buy any islands at the moment, i need to get to lv40 first. Also i have no gemstone dragons i've started trying to breed the aqua one though. Im probably going to go on daily from now on, as i want to start collecting dragons.

Something I hadn't really thought about before, but which should now be possible...
Thanks to the Valentine event, we can now breed epics with any other breedable dragon.
Epic cloning rules dictate that if both parents are epic, there is a possibility of producing a clone.
So a combo like Monolith 1 + Berry should have a chance to clone Monolith 1 (or Berry, but we don't care about that right now).
If successful, you could then produce Monolith 2-4 by breeding Monolith 1 + Monolith 1, without ever needing to earn the Monolith 2 reward during the actual event.
This should work that same way with Snowflake, if anyone only earned Snowflake 1 during the Winter event.

The Dragonvale sandbox already has the combos for the Monoliths loaded ( including your suggestion of Berry + Mononlith).
This morning I spent 5 gems to speed up a quest, and and received a total of 35 eggs. I think it was a quest I started yesterday afternoon, but I am not keeping track of everything, so I could be wrong. However, the math doesn't work out any way I try to figure it. Had I already maxed out on gems, then I must have previously received 5 for quests, which I don't think is possible. If I got the 10 for spending gems, then I got 25 for the quest. That also doesn't make sense. It is like it took the 5 gems for the speed up off of the quest.
Edit: I decided to speed up a breeding just before doubles ended, and I got double gems for it, so I had not maxed out gems.

Ong I soooo agree! I miss simple DV. breed am egg hatch it buy a habitat watch it grow decorate. Sigh
I'm confused - can't people ignore the event and still play simple DV if that's how they want to play?
Personally, I like to be complete and I enjoy the extra bit of challenge, so I do participate in events, but I consider that my option.
You can, but then I'd miss out on dragons. And that is really bad, because one of my main aims is to have them all. And to get the second monolith so that I can breed them I'm gonna have to work hard and actually participate....
No longer active on DragonVale! *briefly back online*
I thought I'd share my quest strategy in case anyone else is interested in copying it. I got 40 eggs from a 13 hour quest this morning from. I started another and got 13 hours. I realized my best bet is to not finish that quest until tomorrow. I will get an easy 40 eggs before doubles end. I have decided that once I get my questing eggs for the day, if I get anything over 2 hours I will leave it for the next day. It appears that you get 2/4 eggs for a 2 hour quest and you get 20/40 for everything else. So this strategy should make it much easier to get my questing quota for the day. This strategy is especially good because so many people have reported not getting any eggs for the gems they spend speeding up a quest.

Actually, I just addressed this like 4 posts back...
You should be able to get Monolith 2-4 with just Monolith 1. Might take a while, but it should be possible to do without ever earning Monolith 2 as a reward.
If that was your goal, you would only need to earn about 156 eggs per day to manage Monolith 1 by the end of the event.

I like the events. I really do. It's nice to have something different to do in the game and the prizes are great. I like the interaction with other players, both exchanging ideas here and sending gifts to help our friends. But I miss some non-event related dragons. How long ago was the last Last Call?
Really happy with my gorgeous avatar by ElektronX! GCID: Andr3i4 Any and all friends for Cooperative Breeding are welcome. Gladly accepting any twins also.

I like the events too.
The previous last call was opened on 15th Jan and closed with Seeds release almost 6 weeks ago, 7th Feb. It feels a lot longer than that.

Hi guys! Those familiar with the Iceberg event may remember that through the amazing help of wonderful fellow members, I scraped in to receive the Dragons Bush my just 3 berries. And now, I can return the help to those who need it
The following links have my details across both platforms. I need more gems on my iOS parks to get the Dragons Trees, enabling me to help more people. The first is my iOS parks, the 2nd link is for my Android park.
Breeding Target: Ovalith. It's ALWAYS Ovalith! Hoarded gems as a safety net to ensure an Ovalith during BEB, but I'm not sure if I want to spend them: I think I want the thrill of breeding it! Gems wasted on speeding up Ovalith breeding/incubation: 2890
I had the strangest experience the last few days. Sunday I somehow missed 40 eggs. I keep diligent track of my eggs and poof, there was a 40 egg discrepancy between the game's count and mine. I checked everything, but couldn't come up with the difference. This morning I got... 108 eggs from collecting DC. Crazy! That's an extra 28 eggs. Not quite enough to cover the 40 egg difference... but at least it's something!
