Mining - Amber Dragon (IOS) EXPIRED

[belbar22]

New mining dragon. Only got 31 days to get it. Not sure if it is possible when I only evolve at levels 6 and 9

The mine is only offered to IOS(apple) devices.

The mine unlocks at level 45.

Hmmmm 200 parts in 31 days. It might be tight.

[jellyxbelly]

Just used my saved up bombs and I have 33 parts so far

[freshfunin2008]

ah it is red, yellow, and black. Cool

[midnightmeerkat]

Yay... Great!!

[nukesters2]

Just started this now, and already have 32 pieces of amber. I have been doing a LOT of hatching and evolving and trading lately though so lots of mines

[dangerb0y]

Hmmmm 200 parts in 31 days. It might be tight.

Assuming you have not saved your bombs, don't speed evolve and evolve around the clock, and get at least one amber per visit, that will total 186 amber pieces. I hope they have a double amber weekend like they did with ingots.

[cakeandpie]

Hmmm...it's really not fair to put such a short time on it when some people (like me) do not evolve from 3 to 4. I am not sure how it's going to be possible for me, because my evolutions will require so much food that it just won't be possible to evolve that much. And I was not one of the people who got a 7th farm either, so I'm constrained there also. Further, I had to use every possible bomb to get Platinum (managed to get 199 ingots, so only had to spend 4 gold to get the last one), so I have none saved up. So for me this is going to be a real challenge.

It would definitely be easier with a 7th farm, although I have just looked at my dragons and most are at level 7 if not at Epic and all bar 4 will need 62,500 to get from 9-10. I am a little demoralised.

[LemonadeMouth173]

I didnt get Platinum but im not complaining. It wasnt my fav dragon. This one instead...I want it! Butbut :( i have only few lvl 4 dragons and those lvl 7 r hungry like a bunch of wild wolves. So much food so lil time!:(

[jaybay1147]

I personally got two Platinum dragons and had to use a last small push to get the second. So far I have 18 or so amber parts from a couple bombs I saved up the last two days.

[sfallday]

Pretty happy I saved my bombs good start 36 pieces

[Sparkly888]

What a pretty dragon!
I have lots of Love and Winter fails from speed breeding for the Egyptian Adventure so now I'm in cleanup mode. Evolving to level 4 and trading them off. Evolution Temple hasn't been idle since the start of the event!

I guess not everyone plays the same. It's working out well for me though.

[SenseiNJ]

Just went through the 25 bombs I stockpiled. Managed to mine 55 amber pieces. Off to a good start I would say.

[blah1820]

How many bombs do you get for an evolution? Like if you evolve a dragon that took 5 hours do u get 5 bombs?

[Lesimony]

It's 1 bomb per 4 hours of evolution time.

Now I'm really glad I stockpiled the max of 25 bombs. Got 39 amber pieces from them.

[Clark_Wayne]

Spared my bomb until new mining :)
Got 71 pieces of Amber :) :)

[chalupa2030]

It's not very cute ~ and it's my daughters name!

[dhridocjr]

I have 201 pieces of amber. I am crafting it now, so excited!
I willing for the second one. Good luck everyone!

Well done! :) you must have evolved like crazy! Congratulations :)

[dhridocjr]

Well done! :) you must have evolved like crazy! Congratulations :)

I had spend about 300 coins just to speed up evolved.

[esperia77]

I didn't spare bombs, because I needed the extra food we can obtain from mining.
I have 14 ingot in my storage, totally useless. Really unwise of me.
In 31 days I need to get 6,45 /day amber eggs. Today I got my first 7 pieces and I have my paladin (29 hours) in the evolution temple.
I'll expedite the evolution in the last hours. Hope I'll get at least 7 bombs from it.

[ginamarie510]

Is anyone having problems getting bombs or dynamite? I'm not getting any like last time when you would harvest food or upgrade your dragons ? I'm not getting nothing

[sheardear]

Me too, I was excited about trying for a new dragon then, saw the timer and it took all the fun out of it. I too have mostly level 7/epic dragons and they require huge numbers of food as you've quoted above, I used to like only evolving twice but now it's a real problem, why can't bomb drop from hatching instead? that would be fair for everyone. I really liked this feature but now it makes me not want to play

[elwood99]

Just a thought, have anyone tried to evolve air/light/water/fire/forest dragons ? Will you get any bombs?

[freshfunin2008]

You can only have a max of 25 each. Other than that it is working good for me so far.

[Anyuszko]

Your calculation is ok, except that it is pretty easy to get 2 pieces with every bombs (372 total). I got 55 pieces from 25 bombs. Just mine wisely and you almost get at least 2 pieces, so it is pretty easy to get this dragon for everyone.

[cakeandpie]

I hear you. I have a lot of dragons at 7-8 that take TONS of food. I will have to hope that I hatch a lot of new dragons that I can feed to level 7. However I'm usually not very lucky at breeding. It took more tries than I can even count (even with some speed breeding) to get Carnival and Celtic recently, which are only supposed to be "rare." :(

You can't get bombs or dynamite from harvesting food (in the World Event you could get Egyptian Coins from harvesting but that's a different challenge). You will get dynamite from breeding new dragons (1 dynamite for each four hours of breeding time) and you get bombs from evolving dragons (again, 1 bomb for each four hours of evolution time).

Huh? 1 bomb for each hour of evolution time? That must be incorrect, i've never gotten more than a handful bombs from whatever i've evolved...hmm i'm sure i'd remember getting 15 bombs from the Laserlights i evolved to trade (don't ask me why lol)....or is something changed now...i am confoosed.....:confused:

That was a typo I think. Just missed out the 4 hours bit when talking about the bombs

[freshfunin2008]

Yes 1 bomb per 4 hours of evolve and breeding time.

Thank You! Fresh 🍥🌹🍥

I was wondering that too, but didn't try water dragon yet. You won't get any with fire or forest. I'll try it with water when I have a free evolution temple. Water dragons are easy to get and require minimal food, so if their evolution drops bombs then that would be really helpful.

[mermaidzen]

I got 1 bomb when I evolved my air to epic if that helps. My son is really good at mining and gets me loads so save my bombs for him.
Does anyone know what level the mine starts at as he has just started playing and can't wait to get the mine.

Only 31 Days to get this dragon? WHAT!?!? This might be impossible for me to get 200 in that amount of time! Do an event where we can get triple of those thing :p

Wow this is annoying. I don't know if I even want to try to do this

If you make sure you always have a dragon evolving you will get 6 bombs a day. 31 days x 6 = 180 bombs.

It's easily attainable... I prefer for them to have a new one each month

just keep buying water and then evolve them to lvl 4 and then sell them. Its food requirements are pretty low - scalypears can more than cover the cost.

[sheardear]

Some of us don't evolve at level 4 we would have to keep feeding until level 6 that's why it's easier for some than others
Actually Have just checked the feeding costs to see what I would need to evolve at level 6, I would need 1830 , I could get this from 3 farms if using scalypears or even quicker with diamondates. Has anybody evolved a water dragon to see if it drops bombs?
I may give it ago

Someone said before that they got a bomb from an air dragon which is only 2 hour evolve time so I would think that a water dragon would drop bombs

I wished I had received a notification for this. I'm just now finding out about it by accident. Went to mine for land only to come to the forums and find out it started 2 days ago. Well, hopefully I can collect enough to get this one.

For the past 2 days I've had an in game pop-up

[MakJulos]

If you make sure you always have a dragon evolving you will get 6 bombs a day. 31 days x 6 = 180 bombs.

And very often you get 2 or even 3 hits per bomb used if lucky and keeping a cool head lol...so if evolving 24/7 it definetly should be possible - but don't you dare miss out on planning your evolutions - make sure to set alarm in the middle of night if necessary to switch dragons in evolution temple, and make sure boss at work doesn't see you drop tools and run off to DS to put a new dragon in there, *sigh*...well, can always buy your way to success ofc...

When the mining thing was first launched i was surprised that it was nothing but good for the players lucky enough to get it - you got rewarded for playing a lot, it was simply too nice sort of....well it's fixed now, goldtrapping implemented - check! But that's ok ofc, it is a business after all and without satisfied players paying up there'd be no game att all!

Ah well, if i can't get Amber dragon from playing the way i do - i check in on DS far more than i think i should lol - then i can do without it for sure, i cannot keep up with feeding what dragons i got already anyway! And we're constantly flooded with new dragons so if i miss out on a bunch, oh well...:D

[bounty_killer77]

I have 45 pieces of Amber so far but I wish they raised the max limit you can have in storage a bit. I evolved a lot of dragons without receiving bombs because of the relatively small max :(

[buttabdullah99]

I am having 70 amber eggs so far and now I am having 0 bombs and I am evolving my breeding fails having little hatching time (limit 10 hrs) evolve them and getting bombs from them :)

[jim23cash]

I have my Amber almost constructed in spell shop.
I like the mining feature. I only wish they hadn't reduced the food awards.
They (higher food awards) made it easier to evolve the higher level Dragons.

[SenseiNJ]

Just went through the 25 bombs I stockpiled. Managed to mine 55 amber pieces. Off to a good start I would say.

Just used up another 22 bombs and I'm now at 97 pieces. This mining goal is not as hard as one would think. You just have to be patient and pace yourself.

22 bombs, so that's from 88 hours of evolving? Well, this mining goal is definetly piece of cake if using gold to speed up things...myself i'm at 60 pieces after constantly evolving since start - i had a couple bombs saved up from before it started though - and it'll be intersting seeing how it goes, i think i'll be fine without using gold as long as i plan stuff!

Yeah, its easy for those who can evolve at lvl 4. I cannot . I must feed my dragons to lvl 6 then i can evolve them. And i have only 50 pieces so far. I worked pretty hard for them cuz i need to evolve at least a 20+ hrs dragon/ day to get 6 pieces. This mine stuff wasnt think very fair for all players. But... We need to adapt it:)

Id trade in a heartbeat to not evolve at level 4.

I don't speed evolve, it's a waste of gold. I evolved my Egyptian type dragons and my carnival dragon. As soon as one is finished evolving I just put another one. Plus, I've been trying to get the Mardi Gras dragon, but keep getting poison dragons as fails. I'll evolve them from level 6 to 7 before trading them, so I get bombs from that too. Like you, I'd like to show that the game can still be played and enjoyed without having to buy and spend gold.

Yes, ure able to do it so fast because u can evolve at lvl 4. It will be a very big waste of food for me to feed all my fails to lvl 6 only to get bombs from them. Its not the same situation.

I have about a 4 months queue of dragons waiting to be evolved at level 6. I dont think i will ever run out.

I'd just like to clarify, I can't evolve from level 3 to 4. That's something I'm actually glad about. I feed my dragons from level 1 to 6 then evolve them. I put Mummy dragon to evolve on Tuesday, Cleopatra on Wednesday, sphinx on Thursday and Carnival on Friday. Those 4 days make up the 88 hours of evolution time I needed. I did not speed evolve, nor did any thing that one could say I had an unfair advantage over any other player. I just put in the time and effort to earn the 97 amber pieces I have now.

[MakJulos]

Hmm...i think we all agree, about everything mining-related, there's good and bad sides of everything.. But i am glad i must evolve 3-4...ehmm no i'm not really, but for bombs it's good :p

So, if you guys want to trade a dragon away you just feed it til lvl 4 and then put it in Trading Portal? Not if non-iOS that is...

Yep, i feed it till 4 then i trade it. But often i sell it directly from the nest because i dont want to waste my food for useless gems. My inv its full with gems and no purpose for them. And i think ill need the whole month to get this Amber. As I said - i put one 20 hrs dragon/ day and i have 50 pieces. Not good but not bad either. Yes, ill need some patience. Anyway i dont like the mine. I find it more annoying than arena.

Totally agree. Mining is boring and I have run out of dragons to evolve to level 7 so they now all need to evolve to 10. This is going to be really hard for me. Very fed up.

Hi belbar no need to feed ur own dragons just feed the fails u got from breeding my limit is till 15 hrs I evolve my mist fail and feed him to come on 4 and it gave me 4 bombs so GUYS USE UR BREEDING FAILS TO GET BOMBS AFTER FEEDING THEM TO LVL 4 SEEL HIM OR TRADE AND DO SAME THING WITH OTHER FAILS SO GUD LUCK ;);)

Are we playing the same game? When I evolve Air dragons, I don't get ANY bombs!


You get one per four hours. If it's a five hour, the extra gets carried over so a three hour would add to that to give you a bomb. Same as in the Egyptian event etc where you plant the 10 minute plants - you eventually get enough for an hour's part.

There is no extra carrying over for me. I got only 3 bombs this morning for Laserlight(15hrs) and 4 bombs just now for Lacewing (18hrs). Also, dragons that evolve in less than 4hrs have given me NO bombs. If they did, all those Air dragons we bought and hatched for the Egyptian event would have been handily converted to bombs. No such luck.

[MakJulos]

Ouch, just used up 4 bombs and despite getting multiple hits per bomb usually i only got one from each this time *pouts*

Edit: well, "usually" might be wrong word, but quite often at least...

Agreed!

[Anaboe]

I agree with LemonadeMouth and MakJulos: usually I got 2, sometimes 3 pieces from each bomb, now 1, maybe two. This way this is another gold-trap from TL.

I started this Amber-mining with 25 bombs (didn't need a third Platinum, so I didn't use them), and am evolving 24/7. I have 86 amber pieces now, don't see how I ever gonna get 200 in time...

[chalupa2030]

All im saying is that its pretty hard to get bombs for those who cannot evolve at lvl 4

Why can't they? Are they on android? I missed something, didn't i?

[LemonadeMouth173]

Why can't they? Are they on android? I missed something, didn't i?

Im on iOS but i can evolve only on lvl 6 because thats how it was when i started to play. So as u can imagine i cant afford to feed all my fails to lvl 6 only to evolve them. Thats why is pretty hard for me and all the players like myself to get needed bombs. Thats what im trying to explain to all those who wanna give me good advices to evolve at lvl 4 my fails. Well, thx ppl, but i cant evolve at lvl 4!!! Hope i made myself clear this time:)

[Nanyce]

hi! I just switched from android to ios and I started that mining thing to get amber dragon. The fact is that it seems impossible to get the 200 pieces in time since you get only one or max 2 per bombe! So can anybody tell mewhat will happen to the amber that has been collected? will it be useless once amber dragon is no more available?
thanks :-)

[Anaboe]

All the other parts from former mining or summonings are useless, so I assume the Amber-parts will become useless too.

Just buy water dragon evolve it to lvl6. The food cost can be covered by scaly pears.

[MakJulos]

The way they set it up does seem to put more pressure on players with older accounts where you only evolve twice, players that has loyally stuck to playing DS, perhaps gotten most dragons already, and leveled them up high also....while noobs like myself have it easier. I think many "veterans" know their dragons and a few tricks so they get around it still, but it does seem unfair rewarding loyalty this way...BUT, as always it's complicated making everyone happy (and surely this setup is what's best for gold sales lol).

I'm not sure i like this model really, it's just another thing i must keep in mind, and makes playing DS even less casual sort of...well, no big deal - i am free to just relax, and skip Amber, so nothing to complain about really!:)

[LemonadeMouth173]

Well i love Amber, idk why but i become pretty crazy when a black hybrid its involved and ill do whatever i can to get it. Thanks to all who wanted to help with an advice or a nice word but i like the fact that i can evolve only twice and i dont want to change it. I think this is my 3 rd yr here on DS and this is the only game i kept so much on my phone. I think this tells everything:)

[MakJulos]

After having played since last september only, and seeing how new dragons are being constantly implemented 13 by the dozen i really doubt i can ever get such a feeling for some specific dragon or color combo hehe!

And yes, mining Amber or not - i do envy that you only have to evolve twice lol!:)

[bottledH20]

Yes, water dragons work for evolving to receive bombs for the mine. Light dragons also work if you have the extra cash and 9 hours is more convenient for you. I do get a dynamite when I hatch an Air Dragon (I have been breeding Diamond + Air and getting lots of Air fails that give me 1 dynamite); however, I cannot speak for evolving for bombs because I have not evolved the Air Dragons.

Getting an Amber Dragon in 30 days is easy as far as I'm concerned... it might be hard if you are low level AND cannot evolve from 3 to 4, because that would be expensive, but a high level can easily buy and evolve lights, waters, or airs. The only way I can see it being a problem is if you are maxed out on dragons & habitats and have no room to buy and evolve a water. And as far as getting that many bombs in 30 days... this also seems easy to me... it's been going on less than a week, and I am already about halfway there. Also, I am still usually getting 2 hits per bomb, rarely I get 1, and rarely I get 3, so those probably even out. Extremely rarely, I get 4 or even 5. One time I even got 6, but that was a while ago, and I think they've lowered the success rate and/or the number of attempts per bomb since then.

Now that I've said all that... I have a question for y'all, if you don't mind answering. I've tried searching the forum for the answer and haven't had luck. I remember reading before that if you acquired the 10th expansion from the mine, that it shuts down the right side of the mine. Is that still the case?

Thanks.

I don't know why you are saying that TL have done anything to the drop rate (there are no random drops in the mine) It is the same set up that it has always been -1 piece available and it's just a matter of where you click and depends on luck until you get near, then more luck and a bit of s**** to hone in on the piece.

Perhaps you're correct, or not - we'll never get a straight answer about it anyway :D Myself i don't know, i do get fewer drops in mines lately- that is a fact - but i may just be extra unlucky. But, if wanting to make players possibly buy more gold it would be a good idea to have random number of rewards in mines, and let some players get good drops so they can post on forum about getting 4 pieces per Bomb, while other get fewer rewards in their mine and exit disappointed....but no, that's ofc yet another conspiracy theory :eek:

I think there would be even more whining if it was more random - and you would be getting fewer amber pieces because you are just more unlucky about not clicking near the amber pieces....... pieces do not "drop" it's all about luck as to where that piece is. Sometimes I can click 6 times before I even get near and then sometimes I'm very close on the first click. Just luck.

What I find is that once I've got the first piece a lot of the times the next piece is very close to where the first piece is.

[MakJulos]

Well, after playing games for too many years - drops, loot, rewards, whatever lol - randomly actually dropping or placed before to be found, i understand what you mean and again - i am getting a lot less of them lately using exactly same tactics (and i am well aware of that sneaky placing of them close to eachother lol) but ofc - maybe i'm just having an unlucky streak! :D Just now got 4 pieces from 3 bombs, so it could be worse still...

The natural instinct is to make the next click away from where you've just found the piece, I was always clicking everywhere but next to it until I twigged to their tactics lol

[belbar22]

Hi belbar no need to feed ur own dragons just feed the fails u got from breeding my limit is till 15 hrs I evolve my mist fail and feed him to come on 4 and it gave me 4 bombs so GUYS USE UR BREEDING FAILS TO GET BOMBS AFTER FEEDING THEM TO LVL 4 SEEL HIM OR TRADE AND DO SAME THING WITH OTHER FAILS SO GUD LUCK ;);)

I only evolve to 7 and 10, that is why this is so hard for me.

[belbar22]

Just buy water dragon evolve it to lvl6. The food cost can be covered by scaly pears.

It's not the cost that is the problem. I plant diamond dates as in have ?250 million coins. But if you use apples to level up waters to 6 which I have done a couple of times, then it takes even longer to evolve my other dragons. Really hacked off with the limited time element of this.

[dangerb0y]

I have noticed that once you have discovered your first prize, the mine randomly places the prizes again. For instance, I will place a bomb and it will say "too far". When I find the prize in 3 or 4 more moves, I place a bomb next to the "too far" place and discover that I am now very close or have hit a prize again. This has happened on multiple occasions for me.

Wah. Not evolving at 4 is a major plus. Plus diamondates are the one of the absolute LOWEST food producers at 160/hr. Upgrapes are 600 per hour, almost 4 times faster! if you really need food, plant a better crop/

Yes, it's always been that way... There is only 1 piece available at a time.

I personally think it's better to know up front when it's going to expire than for them to give 2 or 3 days notice

[MakJulos]

I personally think it's better to know up front when it's going to expire than for them to give 2 or 3 days notice

I totally agree with this, knowing when event finishes from the start is good...but then if the set duration is ok or too short, that's another matter. I don't like the way they set it up, i understand it's just another type of goldtrap, but when the evolving is so different on old/new accounts...yes ofc you can succeed with the event no matter what account you have, no matter what level you are - just spend enough time or gold on it, but...well, i wish it was arranged in some other way.

Your expectations are extremely unrealistic. Maybe for an hour in the evening (if I don't have something else to do), I could plant crops every ten minutes. But the rest of the day I have stuff to, you know, DO. If I planted upgrapes every 10 minutes I'd do nothing but play Dragon story all day long! Planting Diamondates 3x/day plus one or two crops of Rushrooms is generally the best I can do.

I still say TL is making it extremely hard for those of us who don't evolve from 3 to 4 (normally a plus, yes!! But not at all fair when it comes to receiving bombs--we should get double bombs, or TL should give bombs for some other activity instead of evolving) and don't get a 7th farm.

While I agree with the first part of your post, I have to wholeheartedly disagree with this. If you do the math on how big of an advantage not having to evolve from 3 to 4 is, I think you will find that it is MONTHS of evolution that you do not have to do. That advantage puts you MONTHS ahead of the rest of us, and that disparity only grows with every new dragon we acquire. A new 24 hour dragon? Another 24 hour advantage for you guys. So if you ask me if I feel sorry for y'all that you have to buy and feed water dragons to level 7 just so that you can MORE QUICKLY get this month's mined dragon (you might get it even if you don't take this the extra step), then my answer is absolutely not.

I recently acquired 5 ultra rares, averaging about 40 hours per dragon. 200 hours is over a week of evolving that you wouldn't have had to do. A week, with just 5 dragons. Like I said, you have an advantage of MONTHS over the rest of us. To hear you complain about this advantage because of a minor inconvenience really irks me, and probably a lot of others.

Edit: Granted, I will admit that this advantage will probably eventually even out as I finally get all of my dragons past level 3 and food becomes the limiting factor to evolution. But as of now, I have a queue of many weeks worth of dragons that need to be evolved, and food is not the limiting factor. And I have been playing almost a year, I believe.

[midnightmeerkat]

I just tried evolving an air dragon and did receive a bomb for it

I have to evolve them from lvl 4 - lucky you. I have a very long list of dragons waiting to be evolved. If you have 250million in coins just evolve them other dragons. If you run out of dragons to evolve just put in water/light and evolve to lvl6. Good luck in mining.

[esperia77]

I have 51 amber pieces. I will need at least 6/7 amber pieces per day to get to the goal.
Therefore I keep evolving dragons with a long evolving time (16/24 hours) - egyptians are a plus on this.
With 6 bombs usually I get at least 8 pieces. It will, take time and patience, but I don't see how I could fail. ;o)

One of the things that I particularly like about this forum is that people are allowed to express different views in a spirit of tolerance. I think it is incredibly sad that you should be irked by the fact that those of us who only evolve twice are highlighting that this makes it nigh on impossible to get 200 pieces in 31 days. Yes, I may be lucky to only have to evolve twice, but I have never been able to breed a diamond and after almost 2 years of play eventually saved up enough gold to buy one. I never felt it was unfair that other people seemed to breed a diamond so much more easily than me, I was happy for them, if a little sad for me. I have also really struggled to breed new dragons and most of the ones I have are from tournaments and summoning these days, yet others seem to breed new dragons with relative ease. Once again, I am happy for them. TL has always operated a system of game play which can be unequal, however I am not sure why I should be disadvantaged for something which I have no control over. It is not my choice that I only evolve twice, that is TLs decision, based I am sure on the fact that I started playing this game not long after it started. I play Castle Story also and joined after last years valentine edition, so I never got a love shack and have not therefore been able to get an energy giving dragon which can be a huge advantage to those players who are lucky enough to have one. Does this irk me? Not at all, I am happy for them.

You, like everyone else on the forum is of course entitled to express their opinion, however please don't be irked when others express theirs.:)

[LemonadeMouth173]

I used like 7 bombs and got 10 pieces. Is this bad or good ? Looks like i get only 1 piece per bomb.

[LemonadeMouth173]

After few days with hardcore evolutions( only 24 + hrs) im a proud owner of 70 pieces. Umm, im sorry cuz ive opened the discussion about evolution time. I couldnt know that will irritate some1. This wasnt my intention. And those were the rules when i started to play. So good luck to all on getting needed pieces!Btw bel, ure a great lady:)

[emmagail23]

Yes it is still the case. I was the one who mentioned that, and my expansion mine is still locked even though I have 25 dynamite in my storage to use.

[MakJulos]

I don't like how mining for Amber is set up, but it does bring one good thing, at least the way i see it - the desperate evolving of dragons to get Bombs has made me level up dragons that i might not have leveled up otherwise...usually i prioritize dragons which can be useful - at least in theory lol - in the lottery arena, and a bunch of my dragons have stalled at low or mid level, but now i see an actual practical reason to evolve some weaker ones too. Since i want all my dragons to become epic even if they're not of much use in arena or produce loads of coins more good can come out of this for me than just Amber :)

[freshfunin2008]

I have noticed that once you have discovered your first prize, the mine randomly places the prizes again. For instance, I will place a bomb and it will say "too far". When I find the prize in 3 or 4 more moves, I place a bomb next to the "too far" place and discover that I am now very close or have hit a prize again. This has happened on multiple occasions for me.

I don't know if that is happening or not but I have had a "Too Far" spot and just adjacent to it I hit a very close which is strange. Luckily, I tend to hit two eggs for every bomb most of the time so getting 200 of theses in 31 days should not be an issue for me. I have so many dragons at lvl 3, 6, and 9 that my evolution temple is running 24/7 non stop. I get 6 bombs a day every day.

That's very nice - i think i'll manage to get the 200 also, but work and sleep does barge in a lot already - luckily i'm really not that fuzzed about it, it's not like there's a lack of new dragons being implemented in game lol, i'll survive missing out on Amber if that happens :D

I think we should be able to choose from 3 different dragons through the mining process. Maybe like roulette.... when you hit 200 you can select from a random choice of 3 super rare or maybe even an ultra rare one as well that you get to choose based on what you currently already own.

[bottledH20]

however I am not sure why I should be disadvantaged for something which I have no control over. It is not my choice that I only evolve twice, that is TLs decision, based I am sure on the fact that I started playing this game not long after it started.

The irony of that statement is that we are all also being disadvantaged by something which we have no control over, which is when we started playing the game. When I started playing the game, which is something I had no control over, meant that I was doomed to do three evolutions instead of two, which meant that now that I have already started months behind other people, I also have a disadvantage of months worth of evolutions, and that disadvantage grows greater with every new dragon that we acquire, as stated earlier. So you have an advantage that perpetually gets better, at the slight annoyance of having to buy and feed water dragons up to level 7 if you want this months' mined dragon, which you will most assuredly get if you stick with it, despite your claim that is makes it nigh impossible to get in 31 days, which I do not believe.

So yes, you are "disadvantaged" by your advantage (slightly), which you had no control over, but we are also disadvantaged by your advantage, which we had no control over, and because our disadvantage is much greater, I believe you should be advocating for the doing away with evolution from 3 to 4 for all players before you are advocating that you should receive another advantage on top of your advantage to prevent your advantage from having a slight disadvantage associated with it. And now my tongue is tied.

And yes, you can express your opinion all you want, and I will tolerate it, of course, but it does not mean that I will agree with it, nor that I will not express my opinion back, nor feel feelings of being "irked," which are all things that you should tolerate back, according to your own statements.

Fyi, I also had a very hard time getting a Diamond dragon. I even spent 300 gold on the boost to make it 6x more likely to get one, spent the entire time trying to get one, and still failed. Finally, after months of trying, I finally got one... and soon after, I was able to breed Crusader (twice), Quetzal, and Infinity, because those are easy once you have a Diamond... which is why I just recently acquired 5 ultra rares.... and fell another week behind you on evolutions.

And also fyi, I play Castle Story and also joined after Valentine's Day, and also cannot get the Alicorn; however, unlike you, I am also irked by it. It is not the fact that they/you have an advantage that irks me... it is the fact that it is an ever-increasing advantage. They can now permanently find more Alicorn parts and craft new Alicorns... an infinite amount of them.. and ultimately have an unlimited supply of energy. There are people out there with an Alicorn for every day of the week already. Shame on TL for creating advantages that produce ever-increasing disparity as time goes on.

Am I happy for you that you don't have to evolve from 3 to 4 and that some people in Castle Story can create more and more Alicorns? Yes. But I am also very disappointed in TL for their decision, and I am also slightly irked when someone takes their huge advantage and complains about a minor inconvenience associated with them, when the rest of us are so greatly and ever-increasingly inconvenienced comparatively.

Please understand that the nature of this method of communication is that my words can sound much harsher than how I mean them, and that when I say "irked," I mean only slightly irked... I am a generally good-natured person and hold no ill will towards you. To be honest, I am expressing my opinion more so that TL, if they are reading this, can see the other side of the argument on this and maybe do something about it that would be fair to ALL players, rather than come up with a solution that only helps the already greatly-advantaged players. Of course, TL's track record is to release new content rather than fix problems, because after all, people BUY new content, and I guess they don't believe us when we say that we would spend more on the games if they would fix the current problems and poor decisions.

You make some fair points and I am glad you are only slightly irked Lol. I have to confess I am more than slightly irked that I don't have a 7th farm, which would go some way to easing my feeding problem. Incidentally I completely get the frustration over evolving from levels 3 to 4 because that is what my daughter has to do and she gets really fed up as it takes so long to evolve her dragons. It would be great if evolving at level 3 to 4 was abolished with immediate effect, however I guess that is never going to happen as TL have never seemed remotely concerned about lack of parity. Time will tell, if I end up getting my amber dragon in the end although I will be really fed up if I don't cos I must play this game about 20 times a day (Hopelessly addicted you see) and feel rightly or wrongly that I should be able to complete challenges if I put the hours in.

Good luck with your collecting and maybe I will strike lucky and they will have a double reward event. :)

You are too kind lemonade. Congrats on your pieces. As of now I have 69 pieces and no bombs left although I will have 4 more bombs tomorrow. I am now working on my Venetian masks and levelling up thunderbird from 9-10 to get my next lot.

[freshfunin2008]

So is this 7th farm thing really a "beta"????? I mean 1 farm, 2 farm, 3 farm, 6 farm, I want my 7th, 8th, and 9th farms. Does it really need to be tested for weeks??

Thank you! Looks like we have same number of pieces. And ill get tomorrow few bombs also:) .

[akanksha2001]

Hey, I have around 96 amber pieces now. When I saw limited time on the platinum, I saved up my bombs for 4 days. Combined with the saved bombs and the ones I got by evolving my diamond, crusader, quetzal, cleopatra and other long evolution times dragons, I managed to collect 96 pieces. Will I make it to the amber at this rate? Hope I do. I'm trying hard and haven't sped a single evolution yet.......

[AnnirasSweets]

I'm so happy that they've added another dragon to mining. I enjoy the little mini-game of mining and wasn't happy that I had no reason to continue once I had the Platinum. Fingers crossed that TL will implement a new dragon each month. I know it's a dream but I think it'd be great if they would add discontinued dragons to the mining rotation. My other high hope for mining/crafting is that TL issues a dragon that will use up all the extra pieces we're left with after crafting a dragon. Like a Mishmash dragon made from 10 pieces of platinum, 10 immortal masks, and so on. A girl can dream, right?

[Sparkly888]

I'm deliberately keeping about 15 bombs in my inventory hoping that they will have another double mining weekend like they had for platinum.

[Silverisimo]

Anyone that finished knows what Amber is tradeable for? If it's a big black gem, I might push myself for a second.

[GooglyMoogly22]

I also am wondering what this thing should trade for. If it's a black, yellow and red dragon and it's super rare, then you should get one big gem of all 3? That means if I can get 5 amber dragons, then I can keep one, trade 4 then craft a tigers eye and a jade dragon??? Whoooohooooo!

Superares give large gems. If u want so desperate large black gems breed a virgo with diamond/ leo. It gives u a large black gem.

[freshfunin2008]

It has only been available for 7 days and I have 89 pieces so as long as you run the temple 24/7 I think collecting 400 pieces is possible. It depends if you get 1, 2, or 3 with each bomb. I know if varies.

[GooglyMoogly22]

Superares give large gems. If u want so desperate large black gems breed a virgo with diamond/ leo. It gives u a large black gem.

You get a gem from breeding? I'll never get a diamond dragon anyway so I guess the point is moot.

[akanksha2001]

You get a gem from breeding? I'll never get a diamond dragon anyway so I guess the point is moot.

You don't get a gem from breeding. I think what LemonadeMouth tried to say was that breeding diamond/Leo can give you a Virgo, which in turn can be traded for a large black gem. Hope I got that right!
And I'm on 99 Amber Pieces now. I'm gonna get some more in a few hours when sphinx is done evolving! And I haven't sped any evolution yet!

Congrats on ur pieces and yes, i wasnt very clear. I got 2 Virgo in one day with Diamond/ Leo and because they r superares they give large black gems. I can craft my Onyx now:)

[cquinn32]

Ouch! 36hrs to hatch

[LemonadeMouth173]

Ouch! 36hrs to hatch

Yay! Congrats! Only 90 pieces here:)

[cquinn32]

Yay! Congrats! Only 90 pieces here:)

Thanks!! And I know you'll get yours!!

[SenseiNJ]

Just used up another 22 bombs and I'm now at 97 pieces. This mining goal is not as hard as one would think. You just have to be patient and pace yourself.

23 more bombs and now I'm at 146 pieces. Slow and steady wins the race. Looking forward to getting this dragon soon.

Also, I've noticed something about the evolution temple. It gives 1 bomb per 4 hours. I evolved a bunch of poison dragons (each at 21 hours), so each would give 5 bombs, plus there would be an extra hour. So when I evolved 4 poison dragons in a row the amount of bombs were as follows: 5, 5, 5 and 6. So it seems the extra hours are tallied and I was given the bombs accordingly. 84 hours in total and 21 bombs received (so I still got 4 per hour).
Not sure if anyone else had spotted it before, but it was worth stating.

Also, I've noticed something about the evolution temple. It gives 1 bomb per 4 hours. I evolved a bunch of poison dragons (each at 21 hours), so each would give 5 bombs, plus there would be an extra hour. So when I evolved 4 poison dragons in a row the amount of bombs were as follows: 5, 5, 5 and 6. So it seems the extra hours are tallied and I was given the bombs accordingly. 84 hours in total and 21 bombs received (so I still got 4 per hour).
Not sure if anyone else had spotted it before, but it was worth stating.

This explains why some people are getting a bomb by evolving an air dragon then.

[sfallday]

Waiting for infinity to evolve then I should have 10 bombs, I'm a little over halfway I think

[buttabdullah99]

I am on halfway having 95 pieces and 5 bombs which I am collecting hoping for event in which we can get double things :);)

[kawish]

On half way aswell having 102 pieces.

[akanksha2001]

This explains why some people are getting a bomb by evolving an air dragon then.

Air dragons do give bombs after evolution but I don't think it's because of the bombs being carried over. The evolution time for air dragons is 4 hours, I think, different from the incubation time i.e. 2 hrs. Since the game gives a bombs for every 4 hrs, naturally, an air dragon would give bombs. I might be wrong about this, though, and my air is at epic so I've no way of checking this out. If any one has evolved an air dragon, can you please confirm the evolution time?

Evolution time of air is 3 hrs not 4 :)

I checked this on the forums, and there is a thread about it. Air dragon has 4 hours evolution time! Also, some dragon story sites on the net show evolution as 4 hours. Here is the link to the thread on the forums:

Well, I evolved my air dragon, which took 3 hours, because I read here that they give a bomb. I didn't get no bomb. I do recall at one point though, I got a bomb for evolving a life dragon (3 hours). I'm pretty sure there is an invisible bomb containment facility in the background of the game that stores bombs.

Guess you're right. Though different evolution times for players seems weird..... And I've never got a bomb from a life!

[belbar22]

Still only on 69:(, although i have 15 bombs waiting to use and a spider evolving which will give me 6 more. Desperately hoping we will get a double reward event so trying to build my bombs up. Feeling a bit despondent as no prospect of evolving any more dragons for the next 3 days, whilst i build up more food to evolve from 8 - 10

I'm curious too. I have been keeping my bombs and dynamite just under 25 in case there is a 2x mining weekend.

Ok experts! I have 79 out of 200.... Think I will make it?

If you evolve round the clock, don't speed evolution and get atleast one piece per visit, then you might just make it! Good luck!!!

[chalupa2030]

Thank you!

[nancydrew88]

I missed the previous dragon... I think 200 is too much for me. I usually get dragons when only 99 parts are needed. Guess I'll just be mining for expansion.

[akanksha2001]

I have 141 amber pieces now and yet a whole lot of dragons waiting to be evolved. Guess I'll get the amber soon! And perhaps a second one if I'm lucky mining!!! Good luck everyone! :)

23 more bombs and now I'm at 146 pieces. Slow and steady wins the race. Looking forward to getting this dragon soon.

I gathered 19 more bombs and managed to reach 183 pieces (A little disappointed with the results, my luck may be decreasing). However, I have a sunrise dragon which should finish evolving in the morning, then I'll put a water dragon afterwards, so hopefully the 9 bombs I get tomorrow will take me to 200 pieces. Then I can start working torwards a second amber dragon.

[SeaJelly77]

We can get bombs out of waters? I didn't know that??

[belbar22]

110 on 1 account and 101 on the other but desperately trying to feed up dragons to evolve.

Evolving Four Leaf 5 hours gave 2 bombs which is nice, at 139 pieces atm, and have just now dragons waiting for a total of 348 hours evolving - i'll be ok as long as i babysit game a bit.

Just finished mining and reached 201 pieces! Crafting the dragon now. No speed evolution, and with no evolution from level 3-4. Aiming towards a second dragon now!

Congrats! But why r u complaining? Looks like u get at least 2 pieces/ bomb which is not so easy . I find only 1 piece often. 9 bombs brought me only 12 pieces. And i dont think theres a pattern which can be use . Its more about luck.

[Anyuszko]

I will start craft it today too, soon Illl get 6 bombs and only about 10 pieces to go. I get 2 pieces of ambers from one bomb usually.

Got my amber crafting now but can't remember what habitts it needs and as a lot of mine are full and can take a while to build a habitt thought might me a good idea to sort it now instead of leaving it sitting on the nest for ages.

Thanks! I was just a bit cranky about that mining session. Like you said, I do get 2 bombs on average, but that day I got mostly 1's and 3's, and the 1's kinda vexed me (impatient, I know, lol). I'm pretty good at mining, and was just diassapointed that I had to wait another day to get bombs and continue. Anyways, all that mining paid off. Tomorrow my amber dragon will be ready for incubation.
Good luck getting your amber dragon too, keep up your efforts!

[mashiki]

I always have a lot of lvl 3 common dragons waiting to evolve for trading, so it's pretty easy to get bombs. I'm with 147 pieces now, usually have 1 or 2 pieces from 1 bomb

[akanksha2001]

I have 162 amber pieces now and a few bombs will arrive in a few hours.... Guess I might try for a second amber too!!! :p Now only if I can convince myself there's no way I can get that Venetian!!!! That's the one I want badly...... And obviously amber too.....

I am still a long way off. Started hatching waters to get more bombs. Shortage of new dragons and loads of dragons needing to be evolved from 7 - 10.

I should be able to get 2 on each by the time it expires (or very close) .... does any one know what you get for trading it in? I'm hoping for a large black gem

Wow I am still struggling with my first one.
What a horrible way to win ! I am running out of time !
Those later batches find it easier as they can evolve the same dragon 3 times. first is after lvl 3 I think.
I can only evolve when I want to go to lvl 7.

I'm with you summer. I have started buying waters and evolving to level 7 as that is the least waste of apples. I only have 130 eggs on one account and 136 on the other. There is no way, I can evolve any of my dragons to level 10 as the food costs are just way too high (Not helped by wasting apples on waters and not having a 7th farm). Really fed up about the short time limit on this and sincerely hope it is not going to be like this each time a new mining dragon becomes available.

[AJImmer]

Anyone that finished knows what Amber is tradeable for? If it's a big black gem, I might push myself for a second.

I traded an Amber this morning and receive a large Onyx (Black), large Topaz (Yellow) and a small Ruby (Red).

Yes thanks that is a good idea. A lot of the New Dragons have huge appetites ha ha.
Some dragons take more than a day to evolve and I hardly get the benefit.

I have a few hungry babies. If I evolve a Parakeet that takes 5 hrs, I get only 1 bomb.

For me i evolved my dragons which has a longer hours in my evolution temple which means i can get more bomb to use in mining. i think the maximum is 10 bomb. and sometimes i speed up the evolution temple..

i was hoping to get 2 amber dragon my target was to get 1 in 15 days because Amber is here for 30 days..

so far i got 189 eggs. I want 2 amber dragons because i want to trade it for 1 black gem so i can craft my tiger's eye dragon..im behind 1 day now with my schedule..

im hoping il get another one before its end.

When DS first came out they only evolved at lvl 6 and lvl 9.... That was changed sometime in 2012 to evolving at lvl 3, 6 and 9 for new players but the original players still only need to evolve at lvl 6 and 9

[MakJulos]

I've never let Bombs stack up in storage, how large pile of them can you save up without using them? I'm at 192 Amber pieces now and wouldn't mind getting a 2nd one also, for trading. But, i'd hate if i didn't make it and would end up with loads of leftover Amber parts... So i wonder how many bombs i can save up before i actually use them in mine, maybe i can let bombs pile up and see if it's possible getting a 2nd Amber... Otherwise the bombs might give a nice headstart for future mining dragons, hmm...

Thank you! Hmm that wasn't so many...oh well...

More or less (well a bit past it i guess) halfway into mining event and i set Amber crafting last night - now to make decision if to risk ending up with 199 useless Amber parts in storage when it's over, or if i can make it all the way creating a 2nd one for trading....

Considering how poorly balanced the event is depending on how many times players can evolve dragons on their new/old accounts it ought to be likely that they for fairness prolong the event, but...ah well, decisions decisions.....:rolleyes:

[finnth12]

I'm crafting Amber now;) and I also only evolve dragon on lvl 6 and 9.

On the other hand, my other acct that is evolved dragons at lvl 3,6, and 9 still need about 30 pieces more. Oh well, still 12 days left.

So IMO on what lvl you are evolving it don't matter as long as you have food to feed your dragon. No need to evolve until epic if it takes too much food, just feed them on lvl 3 and 6 if you're on 3 steps evolving group. And feed them on lvl 6 if you're on 2 steps evolving group.

The problem is that food is expensive! :]

I'm up to 194 amber pieces, so I should begin crafting tomorrow after mining one more time. I do evolve from 3 to 4, but also plan my evolutions 'round the clock. Getting so many breeding fails that there's always someone to evolve and trade away.

[dala12]

I did not think about that! I only can evolve at 7 and 9, so it is hard for me to get bombs. I save them indeed for a later dragon. I just needed 7 bombs for the last one..the time was to short for me. Now I got a new plan, now we must hope that TL gives us a new dragon to find/craft.

My first amber has been though the temple once (lvl 3 to 4) he will probably never get passed level 6! and I'm working on my 2nd to trade for a large gem.

[Sparkly888]

Well I crafted one Amber but unless there is a double your reward week or triple there is no way I can get two of these in 31 days.
I think I would like it better if I could choose which metals I can collect in the mine and do the dragons in my own time frame.

Because for some of us 31 days isn't enough and for some it's too much for one dragon but not enough for 2.
My Amber is crafting now and I have lots of dragons that still need to be evolved. So my evolution temple will still be going non stop and I can't keep more than 25 bombs.

OR maybe we could keep an unlimited number of bombs. :-)

Right now I have 171 total. I wonder if I'll be able to make it! So, I'm curious to those who finished this game and the ones who's going for the 2nd Amber. How did you guys do it?! :)

There is one bomb for every 4 hours of evolution but there is a maximum of 25 bombs allowed in storage, so if you have 22 bombs you will only get 3 more bombs when you evolve, regardless of how long the dragon has been in for evolution.

I see. So it's just abt. right. Except TL is neglecting to give me my 1 bomb for every 5hrs. Of evolution! Well, let me clarify that... Sometimes I don't, sometimes I do get my 1 bomb. (sigh)... However I know abt. 25 max or limit for the bomb. That's not the issue but thanks for your info. It helped a lot. :o

I have had to hatch about 10 water dragons though so I can evolve them and I only have 4 dragons at level 9 with the rest at level 7. I am going to start saving bombs for the next one so I can be ahead of the game when the next dragon is launched.

My evolution temple is like a busy bee, never stops. Sometimes I speed it up and still I have lots of babies lvl 3 and lvl 6 to evolve.
The reason why I am so far behind is that I reached lvl 45 when there were 18 days left.
So today is 9 days left and in 9 hours I will have Dawntree out of the temple then the Crusader goes in.
I have 75 Amber pieces at the moment
Without the "double your reward" I wouldn't be able to make it.

[SenseiNJ]

At my current pace, assuming I get an average of 2 pieces per bomb, I should be able to get 200 pieces by the last day, so I can craft a second amber dragon. If there's a double weekend, I'll definitely get it before it's gone.

The reason why I am so far behind is that I reached lvl 45 when there were 18 days left.
So today is 9 days left and in 9 hours I will have Dawntree out of the temple then the Crusader goes in.
I have 75 Amber pieces at the moment
Without the "double your reward" I wouldn't be able to make it.

I have 75 with 6 bombs still to use - I started on my 2nd one with about 14 days to go I think. I'm not speeding up the temple yet but will do that or buy some bombs at the end to get it. It's going to be tight to get this 2nd one!

If you noticed each bomb costs you 8 gold if you buy it at the mine.
In this case it would be better to speed up, 1 bomb will cost you 4 gold
or purchase the balance of Amber pieces, each piece costs 4 gold.

That is why the "double your reward weekend" is highly anticipated...

Maximum bombs that can be stored are 25.....
I evolved many dragons before I realised I had hit the limit!!!

Thanks, it's nice to know, in 7 days i'm going to get easily more than 25 so i guess i'll have to use them anyway :(

Yes I did notice individual bombs cost 8 each... I wouldn't do it that way. You can buy 10 bombs for 40 gold which is the same as speeding.

And yes I was looking forward to a "double weekend" but ...alas! It didn't happen :(

Unfortunately, it didn't happen:(
It is either because our prayers didn't reach the ears of TL, or they reach the ears but not hearts, or our prayers were not strong enough to melt the hearts of TL....:)

I've done that!

[asyran2012]

TL! Please make a double mining! I'm struggling to get this dragon and so does Venetian last week! :/
Pretty please? Or extend the timer?. Only 7 Days left :(
Currently having 155 Ambers...

[metsfreek]

197 now. Gonna need to fill up on bombs after. If I didn't have the 25+ to start, I'd be struggling!

I'm at 101 atm, with 7 days to go...:(
My chances of getting this dragon are melting down not the hearts of TL:(

I've got 100 amber pieces right now, with 15 bombs (and 8 more on the way when my virtue dragon finishes evolution tomorrow). If I keep up this rate I should be able to craft a second amber dragon in time.

I'm not an experienced miner and very often I return empty handed from the mine.
Oh well, it's just another dragon passing by :(

[chalupa2030]

20 more to go!

[akanksha2001]

20 more to go!

You will make it soon then! Good mining!!!!:)

[chalupa2030]

Thank You!

[chalupa2030]

2 more!

I just used the 23 bombs and got 51 more pieces! What a lucky mining session! 49 pieces remaining. At an average of 2 pieces per bomb, I need at least 25 bombs, which is 100 hours of evolution time. I have a little over 4 days remaining, roughly 100 hours, so I should still be able to make it.

[LemonadeMouth173]

Last 10-14 bombs only 1 piece/ bomb , no matter how or where i clicked. Im very close but if i get only 1/1 ...Pff, no way to do this again coz im out of dragons anyway. I dont like the system, the time and the whole idea. Arena is 99/ month and this 200/month and we cant evolve at 4 , plus we cant breed so fast new dragons. Is not funny at all and harder than arena. No more dragons to evolve and 7-10 ask a huge amount of food. Not to mention not even a 2x event...

I am still waiting for a miracle that TL will give us the last 48 hours a "double reward" at least :(

[chalupa2030]

36 hours to hatch! I still have 20 more! It ends Friday ~ barely made it!

Good luck to all still trying!

[shield14]

I am at 172 pieces and 5 bombs left...:(:(:(
I think that once you put Amber pieces into the Spell shop and crafting process starts you don't need to worry that TL removes it in 1 minute so to say.
BTW, Amber Dragon is 36 hours to craft, hatch and evolve.

Kooky, please correct me if I'm wrong

[chalupa2030]

I think you are right! Cute egg too:)

[LemonadeMouth173]

Finally, ah finally is crafting right now!I will never be able to have any epics cuz of this feature:( I needed to feed a lot of Leo fails to get more bombs. And ( as i said) i usually get only 1 piece/ bomb. So for me 10 bombs mean 10 pieces not 20-30 pieces like others get.Im so sorry for those who couldnt make it. Its a continue struggle not a funny thing. Dragons demand a lot of food and if we keep feeding our fails to lvl 7...No more epics or... no new mining dragon:( Debating right now if this worth this hard work and all that food.

[igames4me]

I hope next time they give more time. Just managed on this acct to craft it. Still need 4 more on other acct which is harder since only need to elvolve at 6 and 9 in that acct.

These dragons eat too much. Most dragons are level 7

Good luck to those still trying to make it
