So S8 release 3 new lovely autumn-theme dragons and a habitat that what I could say looks literally behind the season and doesn't suit at all with all these new dragons. I mean: green grass and tree with apples, it looks more like summer to me.
kooky panda, can you pass to someone in S8 that they should bring back the Harvest Homestead, please. It is the perfectly suit habitats for this event
I recommend you not spend your gold speeding up.Originally Posted by cdbabe
Speeding up with gold won't help you at the beginning. If you speed up the first day you will need to wait 1.5 days for day 3 or spend more gold. Each day has a fixed starting point based on when you start. Since you started today, day 2 starts Saturday midnight Pacific time. Day 3 starts Sunday midnight Pacific time, Day 4 starts Monday midnight Pacific time, etc. You will have to keep spending gold unless you want to wait longer.
Thnk you very much for the information really help me!!!
Goodluck to you too!! And to everyone as well
Even if you use gold for day 2 then day 3 still starts on schedule, so in my opinion it is not worth it to spend gold now, because the next wait time will be even longer.
Happy to help :-)
From what I have learned by participating in the Dragon Tales events. Commonly asked questions are in red.
Food requirements
Maple Dragon needs a total of 19,230 food to reach level 10.
You will need an additional 91,500 food to get Maple to level 13.
Harvest Dragon needs a total of 48,075 food to reach level 10.
Food required to raise both Maple and Harvest to level 10 is 67,305 food (requires gold to skip raising Maple from level 10 to level 13, see below).
Total food required for the event is 158,805.
This time we are awarded 22,000 food (10,000 upon completion of day 2 and 12,000 upon completion of day 5).
You can choose to not raise the Maple dragon above level 10 for a total of 51 gold (12 gold on day 8 and 39 gold on day 9).
Day 7 is the first day that you'll need a lot of food (17,400 to raise Maple from level 7 to level 10).
If you can grow 18,000 food per day you won't need to save food before you start.
If you can't grow 18,000 food per day consider waiting or skipping (with gold) the final feeding(s) of the Maple dragon.
Actually, given the 22,000 food we receive, you only need to grow about 16,000 per day.
How it works
*The first possible day of the event begins at reset (10:30 am Pacific time).
*Each day ends and the next day starts at midnight Pacific time.
*Each day ends at a fixed time relative to when you started the event. Say you start on a Tuesday, day 2 starts Wednesday at midnight Pacific time, day 3 starts Thusday at midnight Pacific time, etc. If you skip ahead on day 1 to play the tasks for day 2, you will still have to wait until Thursday at midnight Pacific time to start the tasks for day 3 unless you spend more gold to skip ahead.
*Each day has a series of tasks. At the end of day one, you will receive a dragon. This dragon will need to be leveled up during the event and will need to go on special quests as prompted. You may need to make this dragon epic, so plan your food accordingly as it may take 100,000 food.
*The tasks get increasingly difficult and more time consuming each day. The first 3 days are pretty easy and could all be completed in one day if needed.
*You do not need to complete each day within that day. If you fall behind a day you will not have to wait until midnight for the next step, it will start right away.
*The prize for the first day is a dragon. Even if you don't want to try to complete the event, you can play day 1 to get this dragon. There may be a second dragon mid way through the event that can be acquired fairly easily as well.
*There are prizes for completing the tasks for each day of the event. Day 1 you get the dragon mentioned above. On days 2-7 the prizes may be coins & experience points, special event related decoration, food, or maps. *If you complete the event, you will receive an Ultra Rare dragon.
*If the event ends before you have completed every task, you will not get the final prize.
*Each task may be skipped by using gold. Parts of tasks may not be skipped by using gold. Say you need to plant 7 crops and you plant 6, it will cost the full skip amount for planting the 1 reamaining crop.
*Tasks may differ for players below level 31 as these players can't battle yet.
When to Start
*You do not need to start right away. There is a window of time in which you may start the game. Your 10 days start when you start the event so your day 1 may be different from your neighbor's day 1. At the end of this time window, the event will automatically start. You can chose not to participate in the event if you wish. A delayed start will also give you time to save up food and trade duplicate dragons for gemstones required in the event.
*The last 3-4 days of the event will require a lot of attention. Schedule the event to work with your personal schedule. Maybe you have a family reunion and will be busy all weekend. It may make sense for you to start on Friday as the first 3 days are quick and easy (day 1 usually takes 5 minutes total, and day 2 usually takes 5-10 minutes if you plan ahead). Whereas, if you started on Tuesday you would need to spend a lot of time with the game. This either compromises your reunion or your ability to complete the event.
*Days 1-3 can be completed in one day if necessary. Say the event automatically starts and you aren't free to play yet. No problem, start when you can.
*Starting a day or two or three after the event begins means you will know what all the tasks are based on the information posted here on the forum. It is always easier if you know what to expect.
General Tips
*Check the forum for information on the tasks required for each day of the event. Use this information to plan your approach to the event. It will be much easier if you know what to expect and when you need to be ready to breed, battle, quest, craft, etc.
*Do not use gold to skip to the next day. It is not worth it unless you are doing so strategically.
*Some tasks can be done ahead of time: quests, crafting (such as spell scrolls, hedges, etc.), and leveling up the dragon received on day 1. Do not collect until prompted or it will not count!
Some tasks cannot be done ahead of time such as breeding and battling. If one of the tasks is to mate a certain dragon, you need to wait for the prompt or it will not count. Same goes for battling, you need to be prompted first.
*There is a big difference between raise your dragon to a certain level and feed your dragon. If you are asked to raise the dragon this can be done ahead of time without penalty. If you are asked to feed the dragon you must wait until prompted or it will not count.
*You may need to breed two days in a row. Make sure your breeding den is available when needed. Plan your breeding for outcomes less than 24 hours if you need to breed the next day.
*Each task may be skipped by using gold. The amount of gold varies depending on the task. Try to avoid using gold at the beginning of the event as the event will get more difficult each day and the temption, or need, to skip tasks will increase.
*If you are stuck on a particularly difficult battle, consider speeding up the time between battles instead of using an Ultimate hit. It only cost 4 gold to battle again right away compared to the 12 gold for Ultimate (30 gold if there is a tournament). You may choose to use Ultimate if you don't have many good battling dragons. If you do use Ultimate, use it within the battle rather than skipping the entire task from the event interface.
Troubleshooting
*If you have completed a task and you haven't received credit for it (such as leveling up a dragon), try force closing and reopening your game. To force close, double click on the home button and swipe up on any apps you wish to force close. If that fails, try deleting our game and reinstalling it. Your game progress is saved on storm8's servers so you shouldn't lose any progress. You may wish to make sure you have a login for your storm8 account just in case you need it after reinstalling your game.
Planning for the next Dragon Tales event
*Have a variety of small gemstones on hand. It is always easier to not need to speed breed, evolve, and trade just to craft an item. The best way to do this is to trade your duplicate rare dragons. Rare dragons will give at least 2 small gemstones. Common dragons can work as they will give one small gemstone though it may not be the color you want. For instance, Wild is a common red-green dragon. Trading it will give you either a small green or a small red gemstone.
*Consider keeping a stash of food on hand to level up the dragon received on day 1. So far, the most food required has been over 200,000.

I doubt I'll finish this because I just bought the treasure dragon and I'm saving my gold again. And usually I need to spend gold at some part. And I refuse to do it this time around. Time is running down and I need every morsel of gold to buy all I want for Black Friday.

On these quests if you use gold to speed up a chapter, your next chapter wait time will be 2 days instead of starting new at 12:00 am pacific standard time. So, you don't gain much by speeding them up unless you don't have time to play one of the days. And, each speed up gets more and more costly. I'm not sure it's worth it.
Good luck everyone! 😀
These events are occurring more often now and that can only mean one thing. TL and S8 are making bank on speeding up and skipping sections. Not to mention the chances for gold traps. TL has a good thing going here. Be careful or you may spend a lot more gold on this event then you expect too.
