Win dragon mining without gold?

[TXTiger]

I don't buy gold and have been fairly successful (level 142) but certain things seem fairly impossible. I have never been able to get close to winning a dragon mining. Is it possible to win without using gold?

Yes just have a dragon in the evolution temple 24/7

And do the mining before you hit 25 so you don't loose bombs

Yep this has worked for me. I have never spent gold in the mine. If your dragons are becoming too expensive to feed, evolve your common fails instead of selling them off the nest. Don't let your bomb count get too close to 25 or your evolving will be wasted.

You gave me ideas! I don't have many epics. Only special ones. I had a lot of 6 levels which now are waiting to evolve! I have a long list now! Thank you!

Even that ugly mindvolt which was lvl 4 forever, will be six. That's ok! I really want this mining dragon! Very cool!

I have a question ~ 13 hour evolution I swear gave me only three bombs! How many bombs should we get per evolution? It's the hours of evolving, right?

Did they lower it?

It's one bomb for every four hours of evolution. A water dragon with 12 hour evolution will give you 3 bombs. A 13 hour evolution will give you three bombs as well but I believe the "extra hour" over evolution carries over - so if your next evolution is 7 hours, you'd get credit for 8 hours of evolution (1 carryover + 7 new) and receive 2 bombs.

All of this is subject to the 25 bomb inventory limit.

Thank you so much!

I missed out on the earlier mining dragons thinking it was an impossible task but changed tactics and have gotten the last 2 without spending gold. above advice to evolve fails is good, plus keep your evolution temple occupied 24/7. Also once you have crafted a mining dragon, keep evolving and try and collect and save as many bombs as possible before the mine opens again. This way you can can a head-start when the new dragon becomes available. Hope this helps.

right, so averaging 2 pieces per mining, you need 100 bombs. So thats 400 hours evolving, which is 16.6 days if you make sure you evolved is always running (and not waiting). So plenty of time to do without gold.

Great information! So....if we don't have anything to evolve ~ hatch a common! but would you evolve only to lvl 3, or hatch another, or keep going beyond lvl 3?
