Idea isn't to try and win. Just try and breed and don't use gold to speed after you get 1 to get another. Personally knowing i'll need scrolls later this is a good dragon to breed for that, so i'll keep the combo going. However after i get the 1 for my album i won't use gold anymore.

If you breed a snowman or elf an then raise it to epic you have about 1/3000 chance of winning. Not complaining just stating the odds

I thought Dragon Story had a few more active players than that... But yes, your odds of winning are slim. Just have fun, breed what you can, and hope for a Yule Tide statistical anomaly... Er, miracle.

I don't think it's something I would be bothered to do, like people say, chances are slim, but I'm interested to know, how do you enter? When its epic form how does it get entered into the competition automatically?.

Awww man! I've got a Sunrise in the nest and a Firestorm in the breeding den. Looks like I won't be starting this contest until tomorrow. But, on a happier note, I've at least got a Snowman! Evolving it to level 7 now.

Not interested on the sweepstakes! Why? Cos none of my nbrs were win (turkey contest). And neither one of my neighbors's neighbor too. I had snowman already and epic! I'm sure it will be hard to get it after the contest start.
I will try the elf for collection tho. It's cute 😄

I think it would be awesome if they had a sweepstakes for crusader dragon. Eliminate the 10 tickets for getting it to max lvl so we can sell them straight from our nests. Then ppl would be on all day breeding crusaders, I would probably spend countless hours breeding. Or something simple like breeding a fire dragon. Something everyone would be glued to their screens doing

I was using statistics from last time. I would say you actually have a 1/1000 chance this time because they are both super rare dragons

No, just lv.10 dragon (Elf/Snowman)count as 10 entries and breed or buy those dragons count as 1 entry/ dragon

I think TeamLava have a system that count how many entries we get......

Horntail21
12-21-12, 08:21 PM
You get one entry for breeding the dragon and one entry each time you level your dragon up by feeding it. So if you hatch one and feed it to level 10 you will have 11 entries in the contest. Hope this helps.

12-21-12, 08:22 PM
Think of it as buying lottery tickets. You get one ticket for hatching the dragon and one ticket for each time your dragon gains a new level.

If you hatch and get 1 dragon to level 10 you get 11 entries. 1 for the hatching and 10 for the levels. If you hatch and get 2 dragons to level 10 you get 22 entries. It's 1 entry per hatch and 10 entries for each that get to level 10

I only had one entry the last time because I just couldn't produce enough food to feed the turkey to epic. With so many players who are super into this game, I won't break my back going crazy.

Ill get keep trying for the snowman. He is a pest who's evading me!

I was evolving my Snowman from 6 to 7 when the contest started, and I've got him at Epic now. So do I get all 10 entries because he got to epic, or do we just get one entry for each level it's gained during the contest?

Never win this kind of contest before.. So praying for luck TT.TT

Finally got the Snowman to EPIC! Now to work in the Elf, I hope I do not have to spend any gold to speed him up. I hope to have him at epic on time. I might need to buy food. I spent all my food reserves on my Snowman and my dragons can not produce enough coins to keep up with my frantic planting of food.

I don't give a sh** on this contest, I just want a Snowman !!! I am trying since it cames out...why I can't get it...it's to hard ;__; spend a lot of Gold...any advices?
The Elfone got on first try..but snow...i am getting sick of it

If finally got my snowman yesterday. I used level four landworm and fire. I had tried over fifty times with epic levels and decided to give the lower levels a shot. Got it like the sixth time with that combo.

I have been trying since the beginning of the contest and I still haven't got an elf or a snowman dragon. I just get fruitful and life :(

The snow dragon is hard to get for me too. I'm going to stop focusing on it and evolve my expensive elf to epic.

I don't see a thread for it, so ill ask here. Has anyone ever used gold to get coins? I can't amass enough money to expand and get enough food to feed the rarer dragons. I'm running out of space and food too quickly.

In bakery I'd think its silly to use gems for coins. In monster everything is done with ease. Dragon, not so much.

Would it be silly to use gold for coins? I'm thinking of getting a million for 250 gold.

I never heard anyone buying coins. But its really up to you. If you have the gold, and you feel you need to go ahead. I don't know what level you are, but you can amass a large amount of coins by clearing your habs frequently throughout the day, getting visitors. Have as many habs as you can with at least one dragon assigned to each one.

If you are thinking about epicing your elf for the contest..think twice before buying coins...there are millions of players and your chance of winning is slim to none, so save your gold for something more obtainable. If I had 250 gold to blow, I would think about another nest rather then coins. My second nest is a luxury I couldn't do without anymore.

Yes!!! Had a wonderful holiday with dragon story:) I now have one snowman dragon and one elf dragon with both all grown up and evolved to level 10 and both so gorgeous:) I love both of them as all other dragons! I'm having a hard time breeding a diamond dragon.....any suggestions on what to breed for a diamond dragon please? Thank you all:)

It depends on you. When i started playing DS, i bought coins too , you know ..., to speed thing up. I can imagine how hard it was when i begin. It could take months to get to where im now.If you just started , i suggest you should buy it.

That's the sad part, I'm on level 45! I've had to sell off over twenty rare and super rare dragons because I didn't have any more room. Between expanding, making food and the cost of clearing I can't do it all. With the new pink habitats costing so much I can't maintain. I've gotten four pinks and had to sell three. I bought a second nest so that was cool. It's frustrating, even with clearing multiple times in a day. Guess ill keep the gold and wait it out a little longer.

Hey, i just looked into your island. I dont know how long you've been playing but i think you are a new player. Eventhough you are on lv 45 but i dont see many epic dragon. I assume that you bought lots of gold to speed breeding( ha, just like me).Hearing that you've sold many rare and super rare dragons is truly sad. At least you should trade it for gems but not sell it.
Btw: about the contest, i dont think you can get enough food to evolve your elf. It take around 40k food to feed from lv 1 to lv 10 and the chance of winning is ... Ehm ... So just forget the contest :D

I rarely evolve to epic because of the food quantity! I've sold or traded the epics I had when the new iOS design came out. My island is a mess. So I'm rushing to expand, clean it up and tend to the dragons I have. Them restart on breeding the ones I gave away. I have my ruby and emerald so I'm done. I've been playing for about six months or so. I have up scorpions, eagles, parakeets, sea breezes, Pegasus by accident. You name it. Sign....

Is there a price: who bread the most fruitfill dragons during contest.?
I think I win....... No elf for me....

We can split that price between us :(

Baraze
12-26-12, 08:21 PM
I gave up! I'm not using the 20,000 servings of food I'd saved up to feed no silly elf to epic. Especially since I've seen islands that have well over twelve snowman or elf dragons! Those are the hardcore players my one elf can't compete against. This snowman is driving me nuts. I'm giving it a go for a couple more days, just because I want it or else I'm moving on to something else.

I don't know what's worse. The fruitfuls trying for the snowman or the Elvis Presley knockoff love dragons while trying for Tusker.

Well for the sweepstakes, in order to get an entry you have to hatch a Snowman or buy one (which is not fair) for those of us who are absolutely unable to get even 1! It was a waste of my time with all this daily trying and not even 1 entry. I have tried so many times and disappointed that I do not even want one now. I couldn't get but the Pumpkin Dragon during Halloween and Turkey for Thanksgiving. Then couldn't afford to get him to level 10, and still can't. So I give up. I know how the players on the android are feeling, how frustrating! :(

coolio275
12-26-12, 11:30 PM
yeah, I know how you feel, it really sucks to try and try to get a dragon but only get commons and weak rares, but just keep hoping and you'll get something good.

It's not just android. I'm on iOS and gave up last week with trying to feed my elf. Over 15,000 servings of food to to from level 9 to 10 is over the top. I'd rather use that to get my other dragons to a breeding able level 4.

The snow dragon can go melt back to the North Pole. He makes me sick.

You do have a chance. I'm almost the same as you, I had a Snowman which I evolved to epic and then I got an Elf and evolved it to epic. [it did take a ton of food. I harvested Upgrapes all day yesterday] Since I got my Snowman before the contest started, I only have 21 tickets, but you have 22. I found a sweepstake chance calculator on the net, and I have 1 chance in 1660 of winning. That's 0.06%. You probably have a bit more. Maybe 0.07%?

Either way, 0.06% is such a tiny number O.o

I truly feel for those who were unable to get a Snowman/Elf for the contest and those still struggling to obtain one before they disappear. I've been trying for Parakeet for a month now and because it, I've gotten three Elves. I just want the little birdie.

Good luck to those who are entered in the sweepstakes, though (:

Yeah, the increase of food for iOS users makes me cringe. My friend uses Android and she's always bragging about getting her lights and 3 color hybrids to epic while I struggle to get mine there. I understand it kind of balances out the version differences but maybe they could make new farm addition that gives like 1-1.5k food for 100k+ coins and take like 6-8hrs? I'd appreciate that a whole lot.

It's weird but I've already seen 2 players having the same name of Island (on Castle Story another TL game).
I think the name of the Island are not unique, only the ID is.
The Pern I have as neighbor is level 33. I don't see Elfe neither Snowman Dragon on his Island.
It must be another Pern :-)
