Part 1: put any 2 animals in the breeding den... BUT since...
Part 2: hatch a solar simian you can save time by putting in fire & nature, which I did not know

Part 3
Feed Solar Simian 50 times.
Part 4
Collect Prickly Pear Cactus (240 I think) - From Harvesting Crops.
I believe that's the last step.

I guess I'm glad I did not get that 45 hour breeding!

You beat me to it!

Part 2 = hatch a solar simian.

So in part 1, if you breed fire + nature, you may save a lot of time that I wasted by starting a long breed with other elements. :( Ah, well. My forging ahead will save others' time if not myself.

I thought there might be some sort of quest or event or something today. It looks fun. I planted rune prunes yesterday afternoon in anticipation and I need to remember to NOT collect them until we find out if collecting food is one of the later steps.

You are lucky! Mine is a 12:00 fail. :(

Anyway, the other thread was started before mine so we should move discussion over there. Kooky will surely be along soon to either combine them into one, or lock this one.

I think the epic is gorgeous!

Oh and 10:00 incubation, 11:00 evolution

ETA: super rare nature-earth... I REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY REALLY hope that the quest does not involve successfully BREEDING her. I sincerely hope the most difficult BREEDING required is the one to get the solar simian.

Part 3 you have to feed your Solar Simian 50 times. I sped the first two parts with gems but it didn't help me as now I only have a Level 10 Solar Simian and cannot feed it 50 times before it will become epic. Oh well I guess i just have to breed one anyway lol

Darn! Well, I took one for the team speeding my current breedings to see and share what part 2 is, and now being set back 12 hours. Thank YOU for taking one for the team to hopefully save others lost time as well by speeding to step 3. And I hope you manage to breed the simian quickly.

Your welcome! I used about 100 gems to speed breed one. Then I wasted tons of apples feeding it when I realized I should have just used enough to lower the gem count I would need to finish the task lol oh well. Now I just need to harvest crops 240 times I assume? Do you think it has to be 1hour crops or could it just be 30 seconds?

It's too bad you don't get to start collecting the prickly pears until after you have to do all the feeding!
I'm not going to rush this part because its too expensive to rush crops. I'm pretty sure it's the last step, though. As long as we get a good rate on drops, it should just be a matter of figuring out how many you need per day.
As soon as I harvest my first crops, I'll post here what my drop rates are.

Will you post what your drop rate is as you know? In the past, it has been one per hour of growing time. If you do the less than an hour ones, you either don't get them, or you get about an average of one per hour.

Thanks to everyone who has contributed information for this quest! :)

I'm just wondering if anyone knows the cost in gems to speed through each step?

I see the 1st step is 10 gems to speed. If the others aren't too expensive I may just speed through with gems instead. I really love the look of this animal & REALLY want it.

If I recall correctly the second step is 25 so you won't have to breed the simian and then 250 gems to feed it 50 times. So I would only recommend skipping to step 3 if you have a simian that you can feed 50 times already.

Yes just skip to step 3 and you can feed the ones you already have, assuming they can be fed 50 times collectively before reaching epic

Many thanks to everyone who has posted details of the steps!!!

I bred fire and nature and got 6 hours. The Solar Simian is 6 hours and rare, but the Paradise Parrot is also 6 hours, but super-rare.
Given I don't yet have the parrot, I guess it's a win either way! Good luck everyone!!!

So I just harvested my crops and got 1 prickly pear per hour. I tried 30s and 3m and neither gave me pears.

jim23cash
04-14-15, 12:57 PM
I just collected my crops, and got 1 per hour for both types I had planted. I got I drop from the one hour crop, and five dropped from the five hour crops.

Thank you so much for the heads up!

I was trying for the Tessllama and started a new breeding before looking at the goal. Got an 18 hour fail. So it looks like skipping step 3 and feeding my level 4 Solar Simian is the best idea.

FigmentValley
04-14-15, 01:02 PM
Unfortunately my solar simian is a level 8. That is not going to allow me to feed it 50 times. Sigh. First breeding is a fairy ferret. I have to wait until the nest clears, though. Double sigh.

FigmentValley
04-14-15, 01:04 PM

Not at all! You are just going to have to breed one like those of us who have one -but it has been evolved once to level 4. Sadly, those cannot be used.

04-14-15, 01:14 PM
I have one at level 10 I feed that it worked but I needed to breed another to be able to feed it 50 times I really don't like having doubles unless there one of animals:)so feeding two sims works ;)

04-14-15, 01:16 PM
Love her! She is adorable!

I also love the real quest to get her. It is challenging but doable. The fails are reasonable, not like the last one where I got two 24 hr. fails and still no win. I like that this is a multi part quest and not the usual just breedan animal.

This is a lot of fun!

So, I tried to speed step 2 and hit the 25 gems button but now I don't have the simian. I checked my storage and he's not there. So I spent 25 gems for what? Now what do I do? Does that mean I still have to breed him? Thanks.

Yes, you will still need to breed him to continue with the quest. Speeding the steps won't actually give you a simian it just allows you to start the next step.

Also just a heads up to everyone, if you are able to harvest crops from 6 farms 16 times per day that will get you 96 pears. Over 2 days this will give you 192 pears. On the third day you will be able to reach the goal of 240 pears. So you will need to reach step 4 with approx. 2.5 days left of harvesting crops in order to complete this quest :)

Clark_Wayne
04-14-15, 01:52 PM
You got pears only when you reached step 4 ? Not before ?
And if you need to plant 1h ? What if you plant 20h ? Do you get 20pears ?

FFS event looks not as fun as in DS :(

Yes, it appears they show up only when you receive the goal. :)
And yes, that's how it is, if you plant something for 5 hours you get 5 pears, 20 hrs = 20 pears, and so on.
Hopefully I'll be able to finish this goal in time, fingers crossed :D

Nice! I have one at level 1, 4, and 10. When the game started I was trying for families...daddy, mommy, and baby based on level. So I will destroy my family but it might be worth it if I can't breed another. Thanks for the info! :)

Skipping step 2 cost 25 gems
Anyone know how much for skipping step 3 ?
(They found how to force people to spend their gems :mad:
They used the same way than in Dragons World ! )

biologybrain
04-14-15, 02:52 PM
Does this one not pro-rate the gems? So if you have a Simian at a higher level you've fed x-number of times before reaching Epic, the cost speed to the next round is 250-x? I seem to remember the Puffalo goal was like that.

Definitly not fun this quest ! Dragon Story event is more fun because it is do-able ! I sold all my solar simian except 1 because all my habitats were full !
And my solar simian is level 10 so i can only feed it 25 times :mad:
And of course they probably made it impossible to skip partially :mad:
So with step 2 i will have to use 275 gems !

Hi all. I saw the goal pop up when I opened my game this morning and came here to read up about it before commencing. My 1st pair, (nature - fire) resulted in a 3 hrs fail, which isnt to bad, but I still need to hatch a Solar Simian. I think the Cactus Kitsune is absolutely adorable and doable.

Not at all! You are just going to have to breed one like those of us who have one -but it has been evolved once to level 4. Sadly, those cannot be used.

In less than a week... Besides, there are SO MANY nature/fire breeds it is very unlikely I'll get one.

readysetgo888
04-14-15, 05:00 PM
I'm not liking this very much.... yes the solar simian is only a rare, but it is a very limited amount of time to breed one, and the longer it takes, the less time you have for the rest of the steps.

If they adjusted the odds for the solar simian so that most everyone could breed one within a few tries, it would be better. But, if it still relies on any amount of luck, someone is going to be the unlucky one and not get one on time, no matter how good the odds are. This just seems so unfair.

And if this is a TL quest (oh look, it is) then they've probably LOWERED the odds on the simian and this won't be much better than a one week limited animal.

You know what? This should be a PERMANENT goal. As in, whenever you get around to breeding a simian, you can go through the steps and get the prize animal. Now that would be fair and fun. But nope, it's a one week goal that relies on getting lucky during breeding. Perhaps they didn't make enough money on the Puffalo quest and so they felt the need to make this one harder and more about luck. And I really don't care for that.

I have a level four solar Simian that can therefore be fed fifty times. I just skipped the hatching part so that I can feed it.
Can I not use it? Before I waste all my food. I have it evolving to level ten now and says it has been fed 26 times.

04-14-15, 05:54 PM
I think this has not being said, but

For the ones who don't want to breed and hatch the Solar Simian animal because the game currently has 6 nature/fire hybrids the goal that ask for this, only costs 25 gems to skip the step.

Unfortunately.. This is only useful for the players that have a Solar Simian baby already in their forest.

Yep... I had a baby that I was keeping as a baby, but had to sell it due to the ridiculously long time it takes to expand. :mad:

I'd rather this have just been another one week limited. It more or less is. I really don't see the difference.

So over this game.

Hi everyone :) Been enjoying reading the forum for awhile, but first time to write a reply. Just want to share my experiences

Already have a just L4 Solar Simian
Gem speed part 1 & 2
Feed L4 Solar Simian to L9 ( 30 TIMES )
Evolved to L10 ( 6Hrs ) Gem Speed
Feed 20 more TIMES (50 TIMES done ), Solar Simian is L14 now
Up to last step Collecting Prickly Pears

So a already have just Level 4 Solar Simian will work
Good luck everyone

50 times equals to 10 levels, so if you had your baby at level 5 you could feed it 50 times also :p

Honestly, I prefer the goals we had to do for the Puffalo animal, needing to have a specific animal to do 2 different things so we are able to win a certain animal, it's really annoying.

At least with the Puffalo animal we only needed to breed 2 random animals, hatch random eggs and harvesting food for pears and inviting and having neigbors and playing their animals. It was more easy and fun, I remember of receiving and sending invites like rain falls down xD

04-14-15, 10:39 PM
Probably because they don't find FFS enough attractive.
I'm sorry to say it (i know that most of the people in this forum do love playing FFS ) but compared to dragon Story , i found FFS less and less attractive.
Dragon Story surprised me sometimes with new stuff like the last Creation quest, but not FFS.
I kept playing FFS because i can breed new eggs. But like zenobia posted in another thread, new eggs are more and more hard to get, and often limited in time.
Besides most of the players in DS got 2 nests or more , so speeding the breeding is easier, and of course more chance to get a new egg.
With FFS , if you want to speed breeding, you have to speed nest before ! You spend double gems !
I'm losing interest for FFS since awhile, and rather use my playing time on ds than on FFS .

Probably because they don't find FFS enough attractive.
I'm sorry to say it (i know that most of the people in this forum do love playing FFS ) but compared to dragon Story , i found FFS less and less attractive.
Dragon Story surprised me sometimes with new stuff like the last Creation quest, but not FFS.
I kept playing FFS because i can breed new eggs. But like zenobia posted in another thread, new eggs are more and more hard to get, and often limited in time.
Besides most of the players in DS got 2 nests or more , so speeding the breeding is easier, and of course more chance to get a new egg.
With FFS , if you want to speed breeding, you have to speed nest before ! You spend double gems !
I'm losing interest for FFS since awhile, and rather use my playing time on ds than on FFS .

I largely agree with you. FFS is a bit slow and sleepy. I prefer DS too though I am losing long term neighbors there as well.

I have noticed this too. I haven't got a massive amount of nbrs now anyway (by my choice as I cleared out a lot of 0 star nbrs a couple of months back) and most of the ones I have left have now run down to 0 star. Some of them as well have, quite clearly on looking at their forest, been big gem spenders in the past. The game is so frustrating, that is the problem!!!

Trick(requires only simon simian)
Part 2: buy 25 gem
Part 3: feed solar simian 50 time (I have solar simian level 4) use gem speed evaluation
Part 4: collect prickly (rune prunes 20 hours is work)

Lucky guy.

Why do I get the feeling that trying to breed a solar simian is suddenly going to be very difficult, as in, like a limited animal? This game is making me all cynical now, is it? Given my track record with breeding time limited animals, I'm not holding out much hope!

When challenge started I already had 1 solar simian but he was lvl 11 so I had to breed another, I did some speed breeding, which I rarely do. ( I really like this animal and don't want the big disappointment of not getting him like chocolate bunny). 18 fails and I finally got him. My issue now is I'm low on food, been working on getting certain animals up to epic since last battle, has taken a huge chunk of food. So now to finish feeding him.... At least I'm pretty certain I will get this little guy, only 5 feeds away now. Oh and during my speeding I did get 2 jackalopes, which is a new animal for me, still missing the parrot though.

TL made a huge mistake by making this one only attainable if you manage to breed out a Simian. Don't know about you guys, but all I get are ferrets and Vinotaurs when I try to breed. No doubt they've lowered the odds for the Simian like any limited so most people don't get the goal or are so desperate to reach the goal they shell out 400 gems for an annoying Simian.

The Puffalo was great because we didn't have a hybrid 'goal' we had to get to advance the next stage. Seems to me this is just another money grab that will make players leave en masse all the faster.

It would be another story if they made this goal a month long or something realistic, especially if they lowered the odds for a simian. But... that would defeat the purpose of why they chose a specific hybrid to advance, now wouldn't it? :\

Getting more and more disillusioned by the day...

If I recall correctly the second step is 25 so you won't have to breed the simian and then 250 gems to feed it 50 times. So I would only recommend skipping to step 3 if you have a simian that you can feed 50 times already.

Thanks so much for the info!

I decided to spend gems to skip steps 2 & 3 on my main account, effectively costing me 275 gems for this animal which is an amount I'm willing to spend my saved-up gems on. Now I'm just planting and should get it once I hit the required prickly pears.

However, I *won't* speed through on my second account. I'll try to meet the requirements with luck and see if I get it.

My second account is sort of an experiment to see how a forest does without spending lots of gems or real money. I did buy a small gem pack to help me buy the Money Badger when it was on sale, but since that account has never gotten 1 gem sale since I started it 2.5 months ago I refuse to spend any more money it (my main iphone account gets them all them time, but my ipad account hasn't gotten one).

I'll just see what luck gives me. Good luck to everyone trying! :)

This is more or less exactly what I said earlier in the thread. I actually find this goal more disgusting than a week limited animal. For a few reasons.

They know that people were fed up with week limited animals. This is exactly the same thing! Except worse. Because the fails are so short, it is very tempting to speed breed here to try to get the Simian. I bet they are going to make MORE money on this then they would on another one week limited animal. I bet that's why they did it.

It's the perfect trap. It doesn't LOOK like a one week limited. It's cleverly DISGUISED. It is a one week limited animal disguised as a quest. Just think of how many players, who are sick of one week limited animals and are refusing to ever spend money on them anymore, will be really excited and speed breed and pay for this animal! Just because they've been fooled into believing it isn't the same thing. Well, I see no difference.

As you say, ALL they had to do to make this fair and fun was to give us a longer time. If this was a two month quest, or better yet, an unlimited quest, it would be fair! I would totally support some fun, cool quests like this in the game. But, they need to be permanent! Otherwise they are absolutely no better than one week limited animals!

And if you spend money to get this animal, you are contributing to the demise of this game. They're certainly going a long way to ruin the game on their own, but if this type of quest proves profitable for them, we're going to see it all the time, and with worse odds. First one week limited animals, limited element animals, then they messed with the tournament odds so that they are barely beatable now, and now this! People gave them positive feedback on the puffalo quest, so now they disguise a one-week limited gem draining trap as another quest. Brilliant. It really is.

I started collecting others expressing the same sentiments as me, but there are just too many to quote - I put a few up. RLox: welcome to the FFS cynics club. Many people joining the forum think we are just overly critical. Until they've played a while. Then those who are willing to give TL the benefit of the doubt, eventually either turn into cynics or leave. A veteran player would need really rose-colored glasses, or able to tune out all of TL's particularly disgustingly manipulative tactics, to believe they are in any way, shape or form FAIR to or HONEST with the players.

As ready said early on, [b]This is essentially the same as trying to breed a 1-week limited animal.[b] Only it's WORSE! You have LESS than a week because you need to add the time to clear whatever was in your den and nest, the 12 hours to breed and hatch your solar simian (chosen due to it having the same timer as not one but TWO other animals of the same elements - that is NOT an accident, friends, it is one of their favorite tactics for twisting your arm into speeding because you get the timer you want, you still don't know if you got the animal you need), feed it, evolve it for 6 hours, feed it, THEN collect 40 hours worth of crops in all your farms (assuming you ave 6 farms). Unless you can plant rune prunes and remember to NOT collect them until you've successfully evolved a solar simian, the quest to breed a very specific animal, which has 5 different possible fails, is NOT EVEN a week. It's less than 5 days. So it's WORSE than a typical 1-week limited. For that, you only have to clear your den & nest, then you have the full rest of all 7 days just to get the magic number in the den - you don't even have to subtract breeding & incubation time from the 7 days. If you breed it one minute before time is up, the breeding and incubation can happen after the timer is up. This is MUCH WORSE for time than a 1-week limited. And if anyone truly believes they did not make a solar simian worse odds for breeding during this event, keep playing and let me ask you again in 6 months if you still believe they are fair and honest in that way. This is a trick. To make us think it is easier to get this 5-day limited than a 7-day limited. It is NOT. It is HARDER.



I have noticed that every few weeks that one of my gem buddies disappears.
Agreed. When i started , i had lot of daily players. Now most of them disappeared and new neighbors don't stay long

Honestly, I prefer the goals we had to do for the Puffalo animal, needing to have a specific animal to do 2 different things so we are able to win a certain animal, it's really annoying.

At least with the Puffalo animal we only needed to breed 2 random animals, hatch random eggs and harvesting food for pears and inviting and having neigbors and playing their animals. It was more easy and fun, I remember of receiving and sending invites like rain falls down xD
It may sound strange, but while I really miss a lot of great people who have become so disillusioned they just can't play any more, I particularly miss the great debates I used to have all the time here with Vodelle. He/she was as cynical about "free" games in general as I, but thought it implausible that TL would resort to some of the truly underhanded tactics most of us veterans believe they use. And wrote off all the incredible "bad luck" experienced by some us us fully explainable by totally legit odds. They didn't end up playing that long (as one might predict of a player cynical from the get-go), but I wish they were around now so I could know if they still believe the odds are exactly the same for newbies as they are for veterans on everything. If they still believe every player of every level has the exact same odds as every other of breeding a unicorn or gem hybrid. I suspect enough experience in the game may have changed that trust in the fairness of TL that I believe is misplaced.

Anyway, my attempts to breed a solar simian. Like most or all veteran players, my simian is too high a level to just gem-skip part 2 of this quest. I need a new simian to move on.
3:00 fail
3:00 fail
3:00 fail
3:00 fail

I do not have a paradise parrot yet, so if I breed that, I would not consider it a fail. EXCEPT that the shortest quest timer EVER in this game (when you subtract 2 days for the other time-intensive steps) means every animal not a simian MUST be considered a fail even if it fills an album hole, because it means losing another 6 hours of the ?5 day timer.

DS was better. Unfortunately, since I played from its inception, I ran out of room and everything else. I tried a few other replacements for DS (a few TL games included) but they were all fatally flawed. FF is greatly flawed but, at least not yet, it still gives a bit of entertainment. It is NOT worth spending any real money on that entertainment. There are other games more worthy of that. Instead, I have let FF step dramatically down in my level of importance.

I can still enjoy without finishing a quest. I can still breed things (given enough time, patience and a bit of luck). I can still win an occasional tournament.

I have started thinking about this in the same light as many other things in life. I am NOT going to succeed at everything. Failure is what makes success worth something. Just as I refuse to give my students an "A" for learning everything they were told to learn, I refuse to assume that in FF I will get every creature offered just because I try. To learn a given set of information is what is EXPECTED of a student. To earn a "higher grade", one must do above and beyond the average. To get the more difficult creatures, I must strive "above and beyond" the average.

In the same way, every player is not going to succeed at every quest or every tournament. Winning is going above and beyond. Playing the basic game is what is average.

This game is much the same. Everyone is not going to get every creature. That is a flawed goal. There will not be room enough for one thing. You don't need every animal to play well. The strategy includes knowing which ones are worth getting/keeping. Many are not.

Yes -this is a nice looking virtual creature - but it is still a common combination of elements (super rare, but there are many). It will be mentally "worth more" to those that accomplish the quest if everyone else does not get it. Everyone is not the same. "Creature equality" (game equality? Outcome equality? Good grief!) is NOT a guarantee. With guaranteed outcome there would be no challenge, no game.

Give it a try. Give it as much time or effort you are willing to give. I hope you succeed. But if you do not, you do not. It will make your next success that much sweeter.

Trap or not trap , they are not getting any money from me : i can't afford. All the gems i got are from neighbors and free games that give 30/15/15/15 gems. But they are so difficult to get that i try to use them carefully , without speeding except when it is worth

But if this is going the way it is going, all they got is losing players.

If they still believe every player of every level has the exact same odds as every other of breeding a unicorn or gem hybrid. I suspect enough experience in the game may have changed that trust in the fairness of TL that I believe is misplaced.

Me too :( I feel like my opinion was always somewhere between yours and hers... I have believed for a long time that they mess with the odds on different outcomes when there is a limited animal out, but I don't believe they mess with the odds for individual accounts. It MIGHT be that newer players have better odds, but it doesn't HAVE to be... because so many animals are new to new players anyway, it helps sustain interest in the game even if they don't get specific limited animals - so they are happier with the game even if their odds are the same. That being said, it wouldn't shock me if I found out that they give newbies better odds and then drop them off as they level up. That seems totally plausible to me. Messing with odds for different individual players, I doubt it.

As far as this quest goes, I might... might... be willing to give TL the benefit of the doubt IF it appears that most people are getting their Simian within a couple of attempts. The fair thing to do here would be to raise the odds of the Simian and/or program the game to give it to everyone within a few attempts. I highly doubt they would write in anything as a guaranteed success, and even if the odds of a Simian were 90% (and they never would be), some people would still be the unlucky ones that kept rolling in the 10% and didn't get the Simian on time.

And as I said, this is TL so it wouldn't shock me in the slightest if they made the odds on the Simian worse. Did they have to? Nope, probably not. The fact that the fails are short (which, believe it or not, will lead to MORE speeding than if the fails were long), and the fact that there are 3 other possible rare animals from this combo and 2 of them have the exact same breeding time, is enough right there to make this extremely difficult even if they didn't change the odds of a Simian when this started.

Let's think about it... We're putting the chance of a rare around 20%. There are 4 possible rare outcomes, so that means the chance of a Simian would be 5%? Which brings it to the same odds as a super rare.

That's assuming that there's a 20% chance of a rare for ALL breeding pairs regardless of how many possible rares there are. If they adjust the odds to compensate for there being more outcomes, then possibly the chance of getting a rare from nature-fire is higher than the chance of getting a rare from say, dark-fire where there is only ONE rare outcome. I don't know. This is something I'd never even thought of analyzing from my breeding data, but I'd definitely be curious to try to draw a conclusion.

I've been thinking out loud here in this post, but the possibilities are 1) there is a 20% chance of ANY rare from a particular breeding combo, and the more possible rare outcomes there are for that pair, the worse the odds are on any one of those rares in particular.... OR 2) when there are more rare animals for a particular breeding pair, the overall odds of getting ANY rare from that combo are higher.

Since there are so many nature-fire rares, it makes a huge difference when talking about the fairness of this quest.

Anyway, I think the prize animal is beautiful but I'm already setting myself up not to get it unless I'm willing to spend a bunch of my saved gems. This quest is just SO unfair. :mad: WHY COULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN A PERMANENT QUEST? Oh right because that wouldn't be GREEDY AND MAKE BUCKETS OF MONEY. Anyone who DOESN'T think this quest is just a shameless attempt to bilk people out of money is naive.

Like I already said: The Puffalo Goals were most fair and funny for every player. Requiring a animal to have another different animal is so unfair and disgusting. At least on DS this goals for new dragons, fortunately, until now only required to hatch a Dragon that every player had because they won from an World Event and complete certain quests so we could receive the items needed to craft the egg, or craft a certain building (that was needed to earn the egg) or we didn't needed to hatch a Dragon.

Hi ready, in the interest of science ;-) I already had an epic Solar Simian so I threw Pandaffodil and Pyro Pony in the nest hoping for the best.

I just checked and the 4th step (collecting prickly pears) is showing it will cost 257 gems to skip right now, BUT I have already collected 49% of them. I can't remember the amount when I first started step 4. I wonder if the gem cost changes as you collect pears?

EDIT: nevermind, kooky answered before me. :)

I have a screenshot of the last goal and the amount of gems needed is 500 gems.

I kinda like this goal things for a animal, but honestly, needing to hatch a specific animal so we can win the goal animal it's just ridiculous.

Totally agree with this. Even if they would have specified what to breed in the first step instead of a generic breed anything it wouldn't have helped. I'm lucky as I already had simians I could feed. I sympathize with anyone trying to breed a specific animal for any reason, especially a timed goal to win a completely unrelated animal.

I already have a simian, trying to re-breed a very specific type of animal is really annoying. They should've made it just breed any nature with any fire, the outcome is always different, I could spend an entire week just trying for one specific outcome and not get it.

Yep and think of how many gems everyone is going to waste trying...

I'm not going to waste any. I'm not speeding my fails at all. This quest is absolutely ridiculously unfair and I'm not letting it suck gems from me. No one else should either.

And I got the fallaby, next one is 3 hrs 😢

Yesterday when the goal first came out, I breed two animals and got 18 hr before I read the forum, so a day wasted. Today I put in vinotur and ocean owl and got 24 hrs, so....I guess I won't be trying for this animal anymore. At least I got something very nice out of this :)

Anyway, good luck everyone! This animal is very pretty! I hope you guys are all able to get it.

I just read the other posts and now I feel that my reply comes across with a bad taste. I apologize. I understand everyone's frustration, this goal is as flawed as the game itself, it truly represents everything that makes us loathe iFantasy Forest Story more as the days go by. If you're still trying to get a Solar Simian, good luck. If you already gave up, don't worry, this game has given us enough frustration for us to be entitled to not care anymore.

Another slap in the face to the veteran players. We have most of the older animals at epic levels like solar Simeon's and with so little extra room, that is one animal we would not have extras of. I have not been able to breed a new one and had a higher hourly egg in the nest and one set of animals breeding when this came out. Then I have had about 6 fails with jackalopes and ferrets. I sped up the ones I had on my nest but I refuse to use any more gems on this. As much as I would like it, I don't think I will have enough time. I was so frustrated from the last event and now this. They obviously don't want veteran players anymore. I am at a stage where I am no longer going to purchase gems anymore. I am just too frustrated by all this and making the solar Simeon harder than normal to get. Hopefully they will start to realize that they are not making this fun anymore so people will quit if they don't change and make things a bit more attainable. I keep getting the same old animals when I do breed so it is hard to feel good about playing.

This was pretty easy, thank god. I got my Solar Simian on my second attempt and then I bred a Tesllama.

Ok, I have a question. I'm at stage 4 of the goal (collecting 240 prickly pears). In anticipation of this, I planted 6 20hr. rune prune crops yesterday. Just now I went to collect from them and only got 5 prickly pears per 20hr. crop (30 total prickly pears). At that rate if I continued planting and collecting the same (30 a day for 6 20hr crops) it would take 8 days to collect 240! There's only 6 days left in the goal....is that correct?? Should I have received more? Does anyone know how many prickly pears you would collect if for example you planted nexus nuts instead? Thanks.

You should get 1 prickly pear per hour of crop. If you only got 30 from your 6 farms you should talk to a moderator or report it in the bugs forum or email support.

Okay, in the interest of hopefully helping people to CONSERVE gems while hopefully completing this quest, I put together something like the Daily Reality Check I do for events. This will be an unchanging deadline as to when exactly you need to have your simian in the nest, to complete the goal without spending further gems. You can read the lists, find out which one fits you, and note the deadline in your calendar. The thing is, this kinda needs multiple timelines, based on how you play. And unlike the Daily Reality Check this is a one-time posting of a deadline. I will post a couple dates & times. In each case, I will list the conditions under which that deadline is the one you should look to. For all goals, I am working under the assumptions that you do not want to pay 2 gems per hour to speed your farms unless absolutely necessary. Speeding the den and nest is half the price. So if you want to conserve gems, you will try breeding without speeding until the last minute that you can complete everything else in the quest for free.

I am basing this on the final hour, counting backwards to a due-time for your simian egg to be in the nest. If this were a goal to breed an animal with a unique breeding time, the deadline would be to see the correct timer in your den. However, coincidentally :rolleyes: the goal is to breed an animal that has not one but TWO other animals of the same element combo have the SAME breed time. (For those unfamiliar with TL's manipulative tactics, this is something they pretty much ALWAYS do on limited animals - give it the same timer as another of the same elements, trying to twist your arm into speeding when you get the correct timer to see if it is indeed the animal you want or just yet another fail.)

These are only valid if you have 6 farms capable of producing rune prunes. If you have fewer farms than that, either buy /upgrade farms, or have your SS ready much earlier.
If you have 4 large farms, your deadline is 20-21 hours BEFORE what the list states.
If you have only 3 large farms, your deadline is 40-42 hours before the list deadline. a.k.a. you are screwed. :)


If you DO have a solar simian in your park level 5 or lower, and 25 gems on hand, I HIGHLY recommend you pay the 25g to skip step 2 and then finish steps 3 & 4 at your leisure. It's WAY too much stress and as a lucky baby SS owner, you have the luxury of not having to deal with that stress. If this is the case and you are a little shy of the 25 gems required for this, ask. People will probably help you out, possibly up to the game's limit of 20 gems received per day. Just please post again when you have received enough gems so people don't continue to hold out on their usual gem buddies to keep helping people who no longer need the help. :)

If you do not have a solar simian in your park level 5 or lower, and you do not want to pay gems to speed the level 3-4 evolution of your solar simian... and...
you do not want to plant rune prunes now in the hopes that you will remember to not collect them until it's time (I know myself - if I see farms ready to collect, I automatically collect them. Asking myself to remember to not touch the ripe prunes in my forest for days on end is like putting a small object on the edge of a surface right in front of an awake cat and hoping the cat will not knock said object off... so I will not plant the prunes until my simian is in the den - that way I can't accidentally collect them too early, and throw off my timing), and...
You can be online during the final hour of the quest (1-2PM EDT next Tuesday) to collect rune prunes... and...
You can be online 20-21 hours before that (4-5pm EDT Monday), to collect rune prunes... THEN...
Your deadline to have a solar simian in the nest is 8PM EDT Sunday.
Plant your first set of prunes as soon you have a SS in the nest. Just be sure to hatch it (after 6 hours), feed it 20 fruit, evolve it (5 hours), then feed it 30 fruit during the 20 hours your prunes are growing.


If all of this list applies except that you don't mind spending 5 gems to speed his evolution, your SS in the nest deadline 1AM EDT Monday.

If you do not have a solar simian in your park level 5 or lower, and you do not want to pay gems to speed the level 3-4 evolution of your solar simian... and...
you are a much stronger person than I who can leave ripe rune prunes sitting ready to be collected for days on end without accidentally tapping them... and...
You can be online at 10-11AM EDT Monday to to hatch your SS, feed it and put it in the flower... and...
You can be online 4-5PM EDT Monday to retrieve him from the evolution flower, feed him another 30 food, collect your prunes and plant another set of them... and...
You can be online during the final hour of the quest (1-2PM EDT next Tuesday) to collect the second batch of rune prunes, THEN...
Your deadline to have a solar simian in the nest is 4AM EDT Monday
and be online at all the times listed above to follow those step.


If all of this list applies except that you don't mind spending 5 gems to speed his evolution, your SS in the nest deadline is 10AM EDT Monday

If you want to keep trying up until the last minute, and can avoid accidentally collecting rune prunes planted in advance, remember that you need to save some gems to finish the rest of the quest: 6 gems to speed the egg when you finally get it + 5 gems to speed 1 evolution + 240 gems to speed 6 rune prunes = 251 gems total need to be not used up on last-minute speed breeding if you want to finish.

Sorry this is so long. I wanted it to be much shorted but I know people get confused when I don't type it all out. Any questions?

EDT = Eastern Daylight Savings Time = GMT -4. Used only because I had to pick one time zone to use so I chose my own. :p

Wow zen... that was a lot of work. Very helpful list. :)

So, what I'm getting here is that Sunday evening is sort of the deadline to get it done without gems, and that's only if you have 6 farms.... and that since I only have 4 farms, I probably need one like Friday.

Worst quest ever. I should probably just give up now, but at least this has helped me to figure that if I haven't bred a simian by Saturday morning, I might as well quit trying and move on to something else. I'm not spending any gems on this ridiculous steaming pile. Not even to speed the last 3 hours of 6 hour fails. Because **** this money grabbing ****.

With 4 farms instead of 6 you need to add 20-21 hours is all (3 batches of 4 instead of 2 batches of 6). Your deadline is Saturday midnight EDT (technically Sunday morning). Or if you can resist tapping on farms with ripe prunes until then, your deadline is 8PM Sunday.

If anyone comes close to the times listed but not quite, your deadline is earlier by that amount of time. For example, let's say are in the same boat as me - you can't have runes in your park for days and remember to never ever tap them, and all the others in the second option. But you also know you will be busy at work during the 4-5PM Monday timeframe for that deadline. But you can hatch and re-plant some rune prunes at lunch that day, say 3 hours before that. You simply need to adjust the 8PM Sunday deadline for having your SS in the nest to 3 hours earlier, 5PM EDT.

6 Fairy Ferrets, 1 Vinatour and 1 Jackalope but no Solar Simian...3hrs egg in the nest and 3hrs in the breeding den. There is NO WAY I will be spending my gems in speeding things up or buying a Solar Simian for 400 gems. My solar Simian is sitting on level 12 so I realydo need to breed and hatch one. Id rather miss out on this animal than to have no gems. The odds are just plain ridiculous. Ill keep trying but if I do not breed the solar simian in time well thats how it goes.

The cost to skip step 3 is 25 gems and the cost to skip step 4 is 250, so it will cost you 275 total to go right to the harvesting food step (which is a pretty easy one).

To everyone who has mentioned buying Solar Simian for 400 gems: DON'T DO IT! If you feel the need to spend gems to get past the solar simian portion just spend 275 to skip steps 3 & 4. It's cheaper AND you don't have to waste food on feeding him.

My main account is almost done this quest ( I spent the gems on speeding through steps 3 & 4 since I had some saved & I really wanted this animal), and my second account was lucky enough to breed the simian 2nd try so that account will get this too.

I am so sorry to hear about all the fails that others are getting; I truly hope your luck changes. The fails are short at the very least, but incredibly frustrating nonetheless.

I know a lot of people are complaining about this quest, and it's understandable. Personally the only gripe I have with how this quest was handled is the first step; they needed to specify to breed fire/nature to be fair & decent. They KNEW people were trying for the llama (which has VERY long fail times) so they KNEW people would be tempted to spend gems to speed what was in their nest to have a chance at this quest. Very underhanded indeed...

As a long time player who used to be eager to finish each quest , I have to say that I really lost my passion to this game and i'm angry for that.

Well, before bed last night I finally got a 6 hour breed. I was not optimistic it would be an SS but it was!!! I had plenty of food so I quickly got it to lvl. 10 and am now trying to get the prickly pear drops at a one hour rate. Hopefully your luck will change too. I felt all hope was lost but my poor luck FINALLY changed. Good luck to everybody.

I'm trying to breed a solar simian but sadly, it doesn't want to appear. However, the elusive Vinotaur and Paradise Parrot (and the inevitable herd of Ferrets) has decided to come join me (been trying for 6 months to get a Vinotaur).

Small question when I got a lv4 sun Afiki can i feed it and skip the stupid P2 thing?
This would mean to feed it until lv 13 but better this than none of them to feed,I tried to boost it but I always get everything but not the sun ape!

How much days would it be to get part 4?240 :6 farms 40 of each farm means 2*20 hour crops .And strangely since june 2014 everything on crops costs twice per hour not one gold/jewel....So sad that most player forgot this change .
And how much crops needs the ape? I have now 30000 to not stress myself as with the moonlight dragon on DS

You can skip the 2nd step of breeding a new sun Afiki, but it will cost 25 gems if I recall correctly. Once skipped, feeding the beast you have does not require very much food -they are cheap to feed. If I understand you correctly, you have 30000 food -that is WAY more than enough. If you already have that level 4 creature, feed it to 9, evolve it (6 hours) and when it comes out, feed it to 50 feedings. WHILE YOU ARE EVOLVING, plant 20 hour food. The creature will be ready before your food is out, but it will give you a head start on the food. All you need is two plantings of 20 hour food on 6 farms for step 4.

You have plenty of time. The only expenditure of gems needed is the 25 (? Correct?) to skip breeding a new creature in step 2.

Yah, I know I'm not the only one, Zen had such a hard time with the Christmas creatures and it hurts!!! I have so little money, and lots of Internet issues!!!! Sad that I'm having so many issues with a rare creature and not super rare or an ultra rare!!!

Sorry you are having so much trouble! I feel bad for you.

I am sorry to hear that so many players are having a lot of problems with this one. I started on this a bit late since I had a 17 hour fail in the breeding den when the goal started. I just put a Solar Simian on the nest after 8 tries. My failures included 2 Jackalopes around 5 straight Fairy Ferrets. Although it is not a new animal, it is the first animal that I actually was trying to get this month. I already have level 10 & 12 Solar Simians from my first month of playing the game (they were two of my primary fighters in the first two battlegrounds). Wouldn't have minded getting a Paradise Parrot along the way to finish out the Nature/Fire animals but I am glad to get this part of the goal out of the way. I don't anticipate any problems with the next two parts.

Still wondering what the Caboodle part of the goal is going to be. I don't think we'll find out tomorrow, probably next Tuesday. I believe we will get a mini (12 round) tournament tomorrow, since its been 10 days since the start of the last full tournament.

Back to failing to get a Unicorn/Tesllama/Monsoon Marmot. Another 17 hour fail in the Breeding Den.

Good Luck to those still trying,

Wow! Are you saying you have bred 71 times trying for a Solar Simian? I would be pissed too! That is insane.

omg, dragonloona, that IS almost as bad as my Xmas fails... and since you don't have it yet it could end up being even worse. :( I had 84 fails before I got an Xmas animals, and that was with TWO possible win outcomes (reindeer or poodle) where this quest has only one win (the simian).

You can feed an animal 5 times for each level. Depending on where your Solar Simian is in the process, you could feed it between 31 and 35 times, so that won't work if you only have 1. Any animals that have Fire and Nature components will work to breed a Solar Simian, for the best odds do not use creatures with any other elements. I prefer to keep it simple and use the Pandaffodil and the Pyro Pony.

Yep.... several Ferrets and two 6 hour timers for me... Obviously I want the Simian, and the Parrot would also be new to me. Nope. Both Fallaby's.

Anyone still think this game isn't rigged? :rolleyes:

Absolutely rigged. Ive been trying for the Solar simian constantly for 2 days now and all I've gotten are Fairy ferrets, Jackalopes and throw in a SR Vinatour. 2 solid days of breeding for what and reading recent post some players have either finished the goal or halfway through it. And here are veteran players still waiting to breed a Solar Simian just to get past stage 2 in the goal. What a joke. I think the joke is on us veteran players. Im totally disgusted. I think ill just leave this unfairly ridiculous goal. In all honesty I'd thought by now I'd be at least 1/4 of the way into the goal. Im not happy at all with the way this is panning out.

No, you can pay 25 gems to skip the step to breed a simian, but you will still have to feed a simian 50 times. I believe it costs 275 gems to skip the feeding step... so 300 total to skip everything to do with a simian.

Well I was at about 75% of the prickly pears that I need to get the Cactus Kitsune when I accidentally used gems to finish the quest. I went from about 140-150 gems to 22 gems. I had no desire to spend this gold as I had plenty of time to earn those prickly pears and my nest was full.The animal is still in storage and will remain there for a while as my nest is pretty busy. What do you think the chances are that I can get my gems back?

The last time I tried something like this it was to get a measly 36 gold at the end of a boosted breed for coins weekend because DS forgot(?) to change the graphic. The graphic said coins but charged gold. Clearly their fault right? I contacted support and did get my gold back but only after being treated like a criminal. Seriously? If I was going to try to get something for nothing, I would not go for just 36 gold.

Granted 120-130 gems is not that much, nothing like what others have lost to gold/gem traps. But, when dealing with a company (TL) that is so predatory, my fairness gene kicks in and I feel like I need to get some small amount of justice. Or maybe just leave the game all together.

So, think I can get my gems back? Think I can get them back without being treated like a criminal? Should I bother to find out?

I just started feeding the Solar Simian step. It appears that once you start feeding him, the number of gems required to finish the step is reduced. 15/50 feedings now needs 175 gems. I didn't pay attention to the initial number of gems but it looks to me that each feeding reduces the number of gems to complete the feeding step by 5 gems.

So if you do have a Solar Simian and want to skip the breeding step, you should feed the Solar Simian as much as you can before finishing the feeding step with gems.

You may not want to do that depending on how much food you have and how much time is left in the goal. A New Solar Simian can be fed 15 times before it has to be evolved from level 3 to level 4 (6 hours to evolve). Then it can be fed 30 more times before it has to evolved from level 9 to level 10 (6 hours to evolve). Your cheapest and fastest route would be to feed the new Solar Simian until it is time to evolve to level 10 and then start feeding your level 10 Solar Simian. If you want to get your current level 10 Solar Simian to level 15 and you have plenty of food, then you might want to start feeding the level 10 Solar Simian. Remember as you move up levels the cost of feeding an animal goes up.

Sadly, you have about zero point zero zero zero chance of getting your gems back. We are not allowed to talk about our experiences with TL/S8 customer "support" :rolleyes: on this forum, but suffice it to say, purely hypothetically, that if you fall into one of a certain gaming company's cleverly placed gem traps, write and tell them you had no intention to spend those $15 worth of gems, and ask for help restoring them, you receive a denial so cold-hearted, so cruelly cutting, it seems impossible to believe a human being actually wrote it. Except that they include details of what you suffered in the reply so you know there is a "human" actually typing up the reponse. They must either hire people with no human capacity for empathy, or those they hire for the job of telling people who essentially had their money stolen by the game to eff off, somehow drop off their humanity & empathy in a basket at the door of their work office for the day, and pick it up again when they leave, like an umbrella.

Hello Everyone,

I just skipped the 2nd step of the quest by paying the 25 gems instead of breading the simian, as in the last 2 days I managed to bread around 8 Fairy Ferrets.. grrr. I'm quite disappointed that the new goal is to feed the simian 50 times..as I have a lvl 10 simian, it'll take so much time to feed it 25 times (to Epic) then I would have to spend gems on finishing this goal.
What comes next? I've read that we should collect some pears? How many? Does it give one/farm/hour? I want to calculate if it is worth spending all my gems on the feeding part.(I have only 150 gems left, since last week my two year old had my phone and spent 500 gems on apples...-first I almost got shocked then all the family started laughing like stupid :DD)

Dear mates, thx for help!! I wouldn't care anyway, but I like this animal so much, it's so beautiful!

(Ps: has anyone managed to breed the lama? I managed Shock Fox at least 8 times, and nothing more. I cannot see any lama eggs in my neighbours' nest..)

Hi babiiba,

Yeah, we need to plant 240 of food, this works like the world event, 1 pear per hour. To skip the goal is 500 gems, but the gems cost it will reduce when you harvest food. Have ready 20hrs in every farm so when you finish feeding the monkey, you have fodd ready to harvest.

(No Tesllama, only a 2nd Terradactyl, at least I just got a Bansheep - I'm using dark, earth and electric in the breeding)

240 pears? So if all the farms work all the time, it would take 40 hours, which is a little more than one and a half day. Thanks for help!!!
I think I can do the feeding part until that! I have to feed my lvl 10 simian 25 times (how many apples can it be?? I feed up all my apples all the time, so I have none now) then I'll have to spend 125 gems on the remaining 25 feed? If it's ready 40 hours before the end if the quest, then I'm okay.
Thx again!!

It's actually 250 gems to skip the step to feed the Solar Simian. It costs 500 gems to skip collecting the prickly pears.

So to clarify the total gem cost for each step:

Step 1 (breed any 2 animals) - 10 gems
Step 2 (breed a solar simian) - 25 gems
Step 3 (feed solar simian 50 times) - 250 gems
Step 4 (collect prickly pears) - 500 gems

NOTE that the cost of the 4th step decreases based on how many prickly pears you have collected.

As a long time player who used to be eager to finish each quest , I have to say that I really lost my passion to this game and i'm angry for that.

Awww, ok. So much for giving TL the benefit of the doubt that they really did make this quest fair in some way.

Nope, still back to being WORSE than a one week limited animal. The odds on a Simian are probably down around 5%. And you have maybe 4-5 days to breed one. Yep, most unfair thing they've put in the game to date.

Just got mine today! I'm happy! That comforts me a little after the Chocolate Rabbit's disappointment. This creature is really magnificient! The only thing I don't understand is why in French Version its name is "Renard Cactus". Renard=Fox in French wich is not exactly the same thing than a Kitsune (Japanese mythic creature). It's just a detail, I know, but, for the Japan's fan I am, it troubles me a little, lol. Especially as Kitsune are some of my favorite creatures of the Japanese folklore. XD

I just googled it. this is what I found in Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:

Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. According to Yōkai folklore, all foxes have the ability to shape shift into women.

I really don't want to give up but I think it's time to. Why can't they just make one thing doable in this game, not everything should need gems to get.

Yes, I was lucky enough to breed the llama, after I can't count how many shock foxes! I was not happy at first because I thought I got the terra dactyl, it was a 22 hour breed and that's what the terra dactyl is. I was shocked to find an unidentifiable egg in my nest and used gems to hatch it!


Hello Everyone,

I just skipped the 2nd step of the quest by paying the 25 gems instead of breading the simian, as in the last 2 days I managed to bread around 8 Fairy Ferrets.. grrr. I'm quite disappointed that the new goal is to feed the simian 50 times..as I have a lvl 10 simian, it'll take so much time to feed it 25 times (to Epic) then I would have to spend gems on finishing this goal.
What comes next? I've read that we should collect some pears? How many? Does it give one/farm/hour? I want to calculate if it is worth spending all my gems on the feeding part.(I have only 150 gems left, since last week my two year old had my phone and spent 500 gems on apples...-first I almost got shocked then all the family started laughing like stupid :DD)

Dear mates, thx for help!! I wouldn't care anyway, but I like this animal so much, it's so beautiful!

(Ps: has anyone managed to breed the lama? I managed Shock Fox at least 8 times, and nothing more. I cannot see any lama eggs in my neighbours' nest..)

Same here. I got 22hrs and thought it was Terradactyl I was happy though because I don't have one. To my surprise it was Tesllama :)

Yeah, I know that it's the same word in Japanese for the mythical creature and the animal. But in French, it's like in English: we commonly say Kitsune for the creature because it's the original name. So what's the point translate a name wich it's the same in the both languages ? Especially when the translation doesn't mean the same thing anymore...
But, like I said, it's just a detail. ;) It's just my "Japanimania" which talking in my place, lol. XD What's really matter is that's a really beautifull creature this time. Nice job to the designers!

I hope that all those who are trying for get it will success. Good luck everyone! ;)

Still no luck despite breeding at every opportunity since the quest started. I'm not prepared to speed any of them up as its a waste of gems with no further a range of getting the right animal. In general I seem to have zero luck with breeding any of the limited animals.

Is this meant to be enjoyable?

I have started thinking about this in the same light as many other things in life. I am NOT going to succeed at everything. Failure is what makes success worth something. Just as I refuse to give my students an "A" for learning everything they were told to learn, I refuse to assume that in FF I will get every creature offered just because I try. To learn a given set of information is what is EXPECTED of a student. To earn a "higher grade", one must do above and beyond the average. To get the more difficult creatures, I must strive "above and beyond" the average.

In the same way, every player is not going to succeed at every quest or every tournament. Winning is going above and beyond. Playing the basic game is what is average.

This game is much the same. Everyone is not going to get every creature. That is a flawed goal. There will not be room enough for one thing. You don't need every animal to play well. The strategy includes knowing which ones are worth getting/keeping. Many are not.

Yes -this is a nice looking virtual creature - but it is still a common combination of elements (super rare, but there are many). It will be mentally "worth more" to those that accomplish the quest if everyone else does not get it. Everyone is not the same. "Creature equality" (game equality? Outcome equality? Good grief!) is NOT a guarantee. With guaranteed outcome there would be no challenge, no game.

Give it a try. Give it as much time or effort you are willing to give. I hope you succeed. But if you do not, you do not. It will make your next success that much sweeter.

Well said.

Got your point and you are absolutely right.
Congratulation to every one who already got it and good luck to the rest.

I just took yet another fairy ferret off the nest and it levelled me up to level 32 - at least they're good for something!

Got another 6hrs, a fallaby or paradise parrot is on the way!!

I hope not! Hopefully it's your simian!

I feel so bad for those that can't breed one... It's just so unfair. I don't know how anyone can keep playing this game when it's just disappointment after disappointment.

Completed the Kitsume and Caboodle goal. I Need to find some time to hatch the Cactus Kitsume before Tuesday since I believe it will be required in some way to obtain the Caboodle. I find it rather strange for a goal title to contain the Caboodle, but have the goal completed and go away without doing anything about the Caboodle. I expect that Tuesday's update will have a new goal about the Caboodle.

I looked back at my breeding results for the Christmas event which is the last time I was trying to breed Nature/Fire on a consistent basis. I had 43 attempts to breed this combo and I bred 4 Solar Simians during that time or a little over 9%. At that time, I considered the Solar Simian a failure. For this goal, it took me 8 tries to get the Solar Simian a little better than the 11 tries, I might have expected from the xMas data.

This is too little data to draw any conclusions, but I hope it provides some hope for those still struggling to get the Solar Simian.

I wondered what the Caboodle part was and why there wasn't two animals, never even thought about another quest. Wasn't too concerned about how soon I hatched Kitsune, but now I guess I better get on it.

You made me curious so I went back and looked at mine... I had 25 nature-fire breedings during the Christmas animal time, and got just one Simian. So that's a 4% chance for me. There were technically 5 nature-fire rares available during that time, and just 4 now, so the odds should be better now than they were then.

I'd still love to know whether:
1) the overall chance of getting a rare is always around 20%, and so the odds of getting a specific rare decrease as the number of different available rares increases
2) the overall chance of getting a rare is higher for element combos where there are more possible rare outcomes, and lower for element combos where there is only one rare outcome, and 20% is just the overall average

Sorry, there is no enjoyment to this game anymore when all you do is depend on luck (or money) to move forward. No amount of my s**** or dedication to this game can influence the outcome of a particular breeding.

After multiple fails on this and on most recent limited animals, I decided to delete this game.

It would be interesting to know, but that information would rarely alter my style of play. I would like to know if any of the characteristics of the breeding pair change the breeding odds. Things such as:
1) Level of the animals
2) Rarity of the animals
3) The animal is no longer available

My feeling is that it doesn't but that is a discussion for a different thread.

I am guessing that the Caboodle will be another Nature/Fire animal which will make 15 Nature/Fire animals. That would match the 15 Earth/Fire animals that we have seen so far.

I see that 6 hours is not a guarantee to get the ape....
I got so much Fallabys in fall but then only monkeys but did give them all away...
Look the breeding is hating me and all gamers.( I guess when I attempt for simian with a vinotaur and ice owl I would get treasure toucan before a rare ape)
Grr

I hope so too! I find out soon. I really wish that the kitsune wouldn't be needed to get the caboodle. I will be really angry if the Kitsune is required :(

I got really lucky and got a simian on the first try, just got the Kitsune a few hours back. I'm so happy because I've been SO unlucky with tournaments (I've only won 1 of the 5 I've played). Yay!!!
