This has been asked before but I can't recall the answer.... Can I start crafting birthday candles now and not collect the finished product until prompted to craft them to have it count? Or do I have to wait to even start crafting until prompted for it to count?

You can start the craft, but do not collect from spell shop until goal prompt.

there is a tread for new turnament, Dragon Battle: Immovable Dragon April 15 2016,just dont know if it will be regullar or flash turnament.I don't like these eather.thers to much things going on at the same time,like we don't have a life,like we don't breathe at all.....

Ugh! That means I have to start late to have easy rounds to battle for 6 day or finish a day early for 3 day tournament.

Chapter 10 is going to be HARD!

Genie is presenting a problem for me before I even start trying to breed one; been trying for Toxic (and failing) so I have Island and Poison fails in the nests and 20 hour fails in the breeding dens :( Going to have to wait until the chapter starts to even begin trying to breed a Genie. Even if I get it on the first try, that's another 8 hours of waiting to move onto the next step.

I wish for the 1,249,529,451st time that they would stop releasing Limited Time dragons during events where we have to breed certain dragons; it's not fair and just plain cruel :mad:

Ugh, I've done a hard refresh 3 times now and these invites are still not showing up to finish the goal. I know I have them because I can see the responses in my news feed. But they will not come through for the goal which still reads zero.

HELP!

Guys this is a third reminder to not post personal invites to each other on this thread.

You can also use the monthly add me thread. (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?90374-Dragon-Story-April-2016)

(invites posts have been removed).

If you need to use gold to skip battles, remember that skipping one or two individual battles (using ultimate hit), is far cheaper than skipping the whole task from the Tales dialog box.

If you want to skip all the battles then the 99 gold in the Tales dialog box is cheaper than 4 x 30 = 120 gold using ultimate hit for each battle.

3 results, 2 common at 7 & 12 hours, one rare at 8 hours

Forest + Forest (or Dawntree) = Forest (20 seconds)

To Get Life:
Fire + Forest or any other combo of red + green = 6 outcomes: Life (3hrs), Wild (6hrs), Landworm (6hrs), Explorer (8hrs), Tree Frog (8hrs), and Dino (12hrs)

If you use Dino + Forest = 6 outcomes: Life (3hrs), Wild (6hrs), Landworm (6hrs), Explorer (8hrs), Tree Frog (8hrs), and Triceratops (12hrs). Note that Triceratops is super rare so a less likely outcome than the rare Dino.

If you use Dino + Fire = 6 outcomes: Life (3hrs), Wild (6hrs), Landworm (6hrs), Explorer (8hrs), Tree Frog (8hrs), and Rex (12hrs). Note that Rex is super rare so a less likely outcome than the rare Dino.

To Get Genie:
Genie (or any other purple-yellow) + Cosmic = 3 outcomes: Genie (8hrs), Music (10hrs), Trickster (18hrs)
using Air + Magic gives 6 outcomes, add to the outcomes above Cosmic (8hrs), Royal (8hrs), and Peacock (18hrs)
using Air + Genie or Magic + Genie gives the same results as Air + Magic

So now I am lost , I have to skip the breeding of Genie with 49 Gold. I have not 48 Gold. I get just Valiant Dragon . I have in the past Dragon Tales not once the Ultra Rare get. Now it fails because I can not breed genius and also because I have too little feed back. :( :( :(

On invites, has anyone noticed if the gold cost to skip invites decreases as invites come in? Say on day 10, I have 10 of the 15 invites that I need, will the gold cost be 2/3 of 75 gold since I hypothetically have 2/3 of the invites? I haven't been able to check this. Has anybody noticed one way or the other?

I have checked - it doesn't go down.. Whether you have 1 invite out of 8, or 7, it is the same gold to skip the task.

For the first time in ages, I'm in a spot of bother! First try for Genie gave me Apollo (requiring another Throne of Olympus habitat which won't be built in time, so someone will have to go into the Stable for a few hours), second try for Genie gave me my first Cosmic (also requiring a new habitat that won't be built in time) and my THIRD try for Genie is another 8 hours, so fingers crossed.

However, even if it IS a Genie, I then have to incubate it so breeding time left plus incubating = 15.5 hours. Chapter 8 opens in 5.5 hours. Now this would not normally be a problem as I would merely do it when I wake up in tomorrow morning - except I have school tomorrow which will make getting the battles done before 5 pm my time tomorrow (Chapt 9 will open) challenging to say the least.

I might end up with my Chapter 8 rolling into the start of my Chapter 9. If I hadn't been SO desirous of breeding Valiant, I might not be in this situation. If I didn't have school, it wouldn't be a problem. So entirely my own doing! :rolleyes:

On the plus side, I have two new dragons I didn't have. :D

Oh, just an observation - I am still getting maps in dribs and drabs from the maps request I sent out BEFORE I started the tales (so 7 days ago). I have asked for no maps since before I started the tales to keep the daily receiving limit free for the invites.

Hope you got the Genie required. Ch9 tasks are easily done so no problem doing the last acts of Ch8 on day9.

All of us are concerned/worried about getting the 15 invites of Ch10 in time to complete the 4 battle arena matches of Ch10.5 which needs 3hours minimum after getting the 15th invite.
Ch10 acts 3 and 6 can be done ahead of time, ? act 4 can be set to complete ahead of time & just need to be harvested when prompted to collect the 80 runestones required.

I will stop battling after Ch8.3 to keep the "Easy" opponents of the flash tournament starting tday for Ch10.5. I have already got enough parts for Supersonic but will only craft it after this DT.

Oh, just an observation - I am still getting maps in dribs and drabs from the maps request I sent out BEFORE I started the tales (so 7 days ago). I have asked for no maps since before I started the tales to keep the daily receiving limit free for the invites.

My first attempt at Genie I used Cosmic and Air....only 4 possible outcomes, Genie being the common one....and what did I get? An 18 hour Trickster. Good thing I started early and have 2 nests. Hope it won't be too tough. Good luck to you....fingers crossed you have a Genie!

As far as invites I am a bit stressed, even though I have plenty of new and active neighbors, because I've noticed I often have map requests show up saying the request is from 2 days ago and I am on daily, several times a day, so there's no way I'm missing seeing anything for that long. I don't know if others have that happen but I hope it doesn't happen with invites for Tales. I stopped requesting maps a couple of days ago and haven't yet hit the point of requesting the invites. I hope it goes smoothly.

DeeDe99
04-14-16, 09:43 PM
@monbohn re the maps - I only commented on mine because in the old days, maps for me would stop arriving after 2 days. With the lastest update I noticed I thought they were still coming in for 3 and 4 days.

The reason you see "2 days ago" on them is not that you missed them, but once you receive your max 20 or whatever the max per day is these days, the request carries over, so you received it the day you saw it, but it is related to your request of two days prior. Hope that makes sense.

Hence why I stopped requesting maps before the tales started - I have lots of neighbours and the map responses would have eaten up my invite slots!

Yes, I looked and decided it wouldn't be difficult to achieve if I'm running behind. It is just I have never run behind before! Not used to it! LOL

All will be well, I'm sure!

I'm not too worried about the 10 invites, I got 8 really quickly. I asked the ones who were asking me.

I'm stuck on this birthday invite all freaking day. I'm at 6/8 and added new neighbours this evening and I'm still at 6/8. This is ridiculous!!! I have lots of neighbours. I guess my requests are not going through or are delayed for whatever reason. These events are getting more frustrating than they are fun.

For Genie use Royal + Magic, worst is Trickster 18h.

You can use Air instead of Magic, but there is Crownprince with 20h fail...

Another dino and no life dragon. Six possible outcomes. I had two dino's, two landworms, one wild, one treefrog (new gor me). Next time will try dinox forest like one of you suggested.

04-15-16, 12:30 AM
Oh, I forgot putting the egg on the nest also counts! Spent 10 gold to speed up the Cosmic habitat build (6), speed up the Cosmic incubation (2) and the Genie breeding (2), thinking I'd have to wait until morning for the incubation to finish but at least I'd know if I had the Genie. Bingo, on the nest and the act completed. Phew! Cheap at half the price for peace of mind during class tomorrow!

I always use air and royal only 4 outcomes and I usually get the genie. And a crownprince is the longest of the 4 but since I've been trying for him for freaking ever I'm very ok with that.
Good luck!

OK, this is weird. First I got 16 hours, trickster. Then, 16 hours, trickster. Then eight hours. Thought it was Genie and went to bed. Woke up to find it was cosmic. Just got another eight hours and I'm in the same exact position as you. Any other day I'd be getting Genies, but now I just don't know.

Guess I'm paying for all those genie dragons I've traded! First try of Air and Magic gave me a Peacock dragon - 18 hours to hatch. So I have just tried Royal and Magic as suggested here, but have got a 13 hour breeding time so no genie there either (no idea what that will be). 13 hours time it'll be 1am here, so I'll either be burning the midnight oil or spending some of my meagre supply of gold!

I'm having the same problem! Been stuck since yesterday with these invites! I know my neighbors sent them yet it's still showing 0/8! I haven't been able to move on at all and it's so annoying! I've done the restarts and everything and nothing has worked. And so far support hasn't done anything to help. Ugh!

Genie was no problem for me. Went to bed with an 8 hour breed time for Air + Magic, when I woke up, put it on the nest and there's a Genie egg. Done. Also had Surprise in the Evolution pod ready to be taken to level 4, done. Started crafting the birthday present to be collected in the morning once prompted. Done.

My problem has been with the game crashing. I had to complete the day's tasks 3 times because my game kept crashing and reverting back to before I collected everything.

Good luck getting Genies and have a great day everyone!

Used Peacock & Air because Magic is questing. Got 8 hours and will find out later if it's Genie, Cosmic, or Royal. If it's a fail I am just glad the den will be open to breed with Forest later! GL all!

Invites aren't registering, plus 3 turned up as mystic maps that were invites when they were sent and received. Tales gets more frustrating by the day along with all the other events, I am very close to deleting for good. Yes, I forced closed and did everything that was suggested... DS has gone from my favorite game that was always fun to just another []game that isn't worth wasting my time on, I'd rather do almost anything than be frustrated on a game that I've spent money on. Weeding my garden is more relaxing than DS and I hate weeding. :(

My game finally, FINALLY, registered all my invites from yesterday! Ridiculous. Luckily everything else I was able to fly through because it was all pending the invites. Harvested my farms, planted, kept my den empty (which was annoying because I couldn't try for Valiant). Just bred Forest and Dawntree and already had Genie waiting. Now just have to speed hatch and evolve Surprise.

For Genie I used Air & Magic at first and got a Cosmic (which I'd accidently bred for the first time just a couple of weeks back). Second time I used Music & Genie and got Genie.

If these invites continue to be a problem that's going to be a major issue on day 10.

Deleted because I misread. Although, it's doubtful that I have enough fruit to get the playful dragon to 14 and the surprise dragon to 12 again this round. It's like they don't want us to use the fruit to level dragons above level 7, much less from 10 - 15. Either that or they want to make sure to finish the Tale, we have to use gold to buy fruit.

Is anyone else having trouble with asking for invites? I asked today, have plenty of friends to ask, but it said I already asked today. I guess I'll have to try again tomorrow (I have NOT made any requests for 2 days). I am getting the same error message the past two days about sending gold (saying I already did, but haven't). I've restarted the game, that didn't help. Any ideas?

Did you ask more than 20 neighbors? I think I get that message when I ask more than 20... I think I also get that message on the maps when I've received gold from someone I'm asking for maps from- usually it's myself (I have two accounts) and the request still goes through. Hope it works out for you!

I'm wondering if I should start battling in the tournament tomorrow because I need three wins tomorrow and four on The last day. The first seven will probably be easier to beat. I won't finish the tournament anyways because I'm traveling. I hate to put off getting stopwatches for a day, and sometimes I get stuck on some early dragons. Wondering what others are doing.

I don't really like the Dragon in the tournament so I'm waiting until tomorrow to start, do my 3 fights for day 9 and the 4 for the last day. No fights other than those and pick up on the collecting of stopwatches after the tournament is over.

I'm on Chapter 7 so need 8 invites. I have not requested any maps since this event began. 12 hours ago I requested invites from 12 neighbors & have only received 5 so far. I just went back & tried 4 more invites. Maybe tomorrow I can finish this chapter but I see that chapter 10 will be quite impossible. This will be the first Dragon Tale that I was unable to finish. I'm very disappointed that my success depends upon my neighbors' schedules.

You need to send out a lot more request if you want to complete faster.
Your neighbours are most likely from all over the world with a lot of different timezones and maybe you sent to some who are inactive.
If I need 4 invites, I sent 40 request, 8 invites I sent 80 and for the last 15 I'll send at least 100 request just to make sure it won't take half a day to get that quest done.

If I need 4 invites, I sent 40 request, 8 invites I sent 80 and for the last 15 I'll send at least 100 request just to make sure it won't take half a day to get that quest done.

I always thought that the maximum number of requests per day was 20. I thought if I maxed out my requests they would back up and it would mess me up for day 10. But obviously what I am doing is not working because I'll never get enough on the last day, let alone have time to win battles. Feeling hopeless.

I can send 100+ request per day without any problems but I'll only receive from 20. I'm always sending way more request than I can receive to get what I need without waiting half a day or more

I've been playing Dragons for 3 years & never knew this. Somewhere, a long time ago, I heard the 20 request limit. If I make it to day 10, I'll ask everyone. No one wants to come to my party.

I do the same thing as Hepatu: send to as many as possible to ensure a timely response. Today, I sent to 54 neighbors to get 15 back. (I picked the ones that I know are active & 19 were new neghbors, thanks to the birthday celebration last week.) After the quest was filled, I sent a request to the remainder for mystic maps.

The first 20 to sign on are the ones that get sent to you. Most of the rest just poof & disappear. There are a few stragglers that get carried to the next day but not many and my guess is that its the ones who cross with the timing of you receiving and the other 20 being sent. Its just a guess so I could be wrong. In dragon story, its harder to see the pattern but i noticed it easily with castle story because there are different types of things a player needs to ask for as they level up.

On another note, so sick of these dragon tales needing so much food! A few dragon tales ago, I decided to get only the first two dragons because of this. However, this one, I am attempting to get to the final dragon because it is a gemstone dragon and my Tiger's Eye, Obi, can finally have a habitat mate. I really do not like all the food it requires. Before they increased the level to 15, all of my dragons were maxed at 10 and now I cannot get the new ones above level 6 and only have two level 15s because of dragon tales.

For invites I am doing the following:
- have not made a request for 7 days
- preplanning to ensure I can send out the invite request within the first hour of S8 day
- I received more than enough invites and the rest just dont count
- next day I send out a request for a single map to the computer default neighbor I have at the top of my list in order to clear the queue of stragglers
- repeat for the subsequet days when I need invites

YMMV

I needed a Genie for my chapter tomorrow, so I thought with my luck I might as well try diamond with music. And boom, I got 44 hours.
A Gold -yay. I didn't have that one. I had to use gold, put them in again and this time I got 8 hours-my Genie for tomorrow.
I have tried for a week to get Valiant or any other Diamond, but I only got 1 Mercury, which I am happy to get since I didn't have that one.
I have to add, I had both roost and diamond temple while trying for Valiant.
I will try for Valiant again after this event is over.

I really hope the getting invites thing won't be something recurring in these events. I don't have a lot of neighbours, so normally I get 5-6 maps per day. On top of that, I'm on CET time, so even if I send out requests first thing in the morning, I normally get them until evening/night, which makes it really!!! difficult to complete a chapter in time when the invites is the first task to do.... don't think I'll be able to keep doing the quests if asking for things from neighbours becomes a regular thing, which is a shame because I think it's a lot of fun

I don't really like the Dragon in the tournament so I'm waiting until tomorrow to start, do my 3 fights for day 9 and the 4 for the last day. No fights other than those and pick up on the collecting of stopwatches after the tournament is over.

If you want to be on the safe side for the tales, you need to build up a food buffer before the tales. Depending on how active you are, you'll need 200-300.000 food before tales begin.

Just a heads up, right now a Fire Forest Combo gave me a Gaia which has a 9 hour incubation. Nice to get, but between it and several Wilds and Landworms I am now behind schedule and may not be able to finish Day 7 on Day 7.

I'm really worried about the two more rounds of invites I have to do on Day 8 and Day 10. Just got a 6 hour incubation from my Forest/Fire breeding. Only gonna have one more chance today to try again for Life. Grrr

What I have been doing (and seems to work so far):
- grow food throughout the week as my schedule allows
- only feed dragons lvl 4 and higher on Tuesdays and Fridays if the event does not require food
- when feeding on Tuesdays and Fridays, do not let food total drop below 50,000

When a tales event begins, I have more than 100,000 food, and am able to grow enough food during the event to feed the dragons as needed to complete the tales... so far

Depending on your schedule, you may need different buffer amount. (I have cut it close, btw)

The tales is going smoothly for me so far. Currently awaiting chapter 7. I realized that after I started that I needed 2 sapphire gems for crafting.... It's been difficult trying to get them. I've been evolving & trading my blue-hybrid common fails and I've only gotten 1 sapphire... I hope the godmother fail that's currently evolving will give me the 2nd one. I don't like that we need gemstones for the tales, especially if we don't have some to begin with.

I'm going to be online at exactly reset tonight to send my day 10 invites (and accept any invites I get, if any of my neighbors are reading this). Hopefully the neighbors I know are playing will be around within a reasonable amount of time, although I'll invite everyone to the party. That 15 invites seems like a lot. On the other hand, it's the first tales I made it through without running out of food! Apparently the key is to barely feed any other dragons all month.

Fingers crossed for rsvp's!

You can breed water with genie or another purple-yellow dragon but you'll get a lot more possible outcomes with 3 colors so Genie will be less likely.

Godmother is super rare and will give you large gems not the small ones you need. Your best bet is to trade rare dragons which will give you two small gems. Commons only give one small gem and you never know which of the colors it will be. For instance, a Mist may give a blue or a yellow small gem.

are as fortunate. I thought, I had figured out which neighbours would most likely send
an invite to me quickly, but now I know what to do. I don't think S8 have thought this

I ran out of food as well, that's never happened before! Have been planting upgrapes and now diamond dates. I'm also out of gold since I bought a big diamond habitat. I think I can still finish but it will be close since I have to work tomorrow. Have not been playing the tournament so as to keep low level battle opponents ready for the day 10 battles. I will try my best.

Same here, reset time at 9:00 am. But I can't log on every hour, no wifi and I'm not allowed to have my phone with me during work. So during weekdays first login is around 17:00 pm, I'm sorry in advance I'm not able to accept requests right away :(;)
This is also the reason I start tales right away in order to have chapter 10 on sunday...

Had my Firapples growing over night (waste of time and food, but sometimes there's no other way), set an alarm for 9:00 am, asked invites and planted diamonddates right away for the runestones. Took a shower, logged on 20 minutes later and already had 12 invites :)
So indeed, thank you all :);)

To all those running out of food, my secret weapon is to calculate how much I will need to produce a day every day for the 10 days before I start the Tales. I never start unless I have 100,000 food in stock. I do not include food from mining, that is an unpredictable bonus.

Add up what is needed in total, subtract the prizes, subtract what you have on had, divide by 10. Then produce that every day for the 10 days. If you know that is impossible on your island, at least you know before you start and can perhaps plan to only go to the second dragon.

During the Tales I monitor it every day, to make sure I am on track. Once I have fed a dragon up, I reduce my total needed by the amount used. The other variables are changed accordingly, eg once we get a food prize, that is then stock on hand, not prizes to come. I change the days remaining, so if I'm on day 3, divide by 7 (or 7.5, depending on the time of day).

It may not work for everyone, but it works for me. Hope it might help someone next time.

This Tales I will have 80,000 or 90,000 on hand after the Tales are finished.

Edit: I just mined 15,000 food, so will finish on 100,000 roughly, if I don't get tempted to feed any dragons!

04-17-16, 02:29 AM
I'm caught up! Wow! I started from the beginning of ch 6 yesterday morning more than two days behind because of the Valiant/Diamond Temple disaster.

Bred Life on the first try. Bred another Life when I had to breed Forest in ch 7 so was able to try for Genie very fast. Bred Genie on the first try. Just finished the last battle of ch 8 (they were the first 4 rounds of the tourney for me) and am just waiting for the second birthday present to finish chapter 9. Playful is already level 14.

So, it all hinges on the invites and battles tomorrow. Because I went to 0 gold trying in vain for Valiant I can't skip anything. But if I can finish this tales and get the Supreme Dragon I think that makes up for a lot of the feelings of frustration, sadness and utter defeat caused by Valiant.

Did you receive maps or Lotus Blossoms? Just asking in case, as you can only receive a certain number in total. I think it is still 20, but there was suggestion it might now be 25. Mind you, unlikely to receive that many so soon after reset, but just on the off-chance....

Pretty sure this dragon tales required more food than the previous ones. I started at about 150000 food, have been planting rushrooms or diamondates consistently, have only fed the two dragons for the tales and have run out of food. In the past, that was always more than enough to finish.

Edit: my playful is at level 14. my surprise dragon is at level 9 so i cannot finish. I could get it to level 10 after my next round of food is ready but that seems like a waste of food since it wont make it to 12.

It required about the same as the last Tales, roughly. I did get quite a bit from mining this time due to all the Valiant tries, but I'm certainly not even remotely close to running out. I only planted Diamondates, don't think I planted any Rushrooms at all this time. Not sure what I started with though, but maybe 180,000? Between 150,000 and 180,000 anyway.

I have no idea why the difference. Sorry.

The difference is that this dragon tales required more food than the previous ones.

No clue about the last dragon tales, i stopped trying to complete it after i got dragon #2 bc i have other dragons that i prefer to level. Wanted this one bc its a gemstone type.

Pretty sure this dragon tales required more food than the previous ones. I started at about 150000 food, have been planting rushrooms or diamondates consistently, have only fed the two dragons for the tales and have run out of food. In the past, that was always more than enough to finish.

Edit: my playful is at level 14. my surprise dragon is at level 9 so i cannot finish. I could get it to level 10 after my next round of food is ready but that seems like a waste of food since it wont make it to 12.

Last tales, I needed the last harvest just before the last raise goal to have enough food. Right now, both Playful and Surprise are raised to lvl 14 and 12, as required for me, and I have about 80,000 food. Maybe I lucked out a little more in mining this time for the difference... I'm sure we could look back at the first page of all the tales to determine if the food requirement for this one is greatly different...

I decided a while back to build myself a good food buffer and by skipping a few tales and hardly feeding anyone I got to 1 million apples pretty fast. I'll have about 950,000 apples left at the end of this tales. So worth it in my opinion to skip a few things when you never have to worry about food anymore after building your buffer!

Have fun checking :). I hate mining so its never part of my food count. I only mine when i am near 25 and then only do it to get it down enough so i can still get the bombs in case i am ready to expand.

I think so as well. I started with 193,000 food. Have fed no one but the event dragons. Need to feed Surprise 4 more times to get it to level 12. I've been sick all week so probably didn't stay on top of planting/collecting as well as I usually do but I have never run out of food during an event before.

I hav also been stuck on 12 of 15 for the last couple of hours. I have been playing Dragon Story daily since the game began and have over 130 friends but can't get 15 invites. That is not right! Why should this event have to count on neighbors to complete a chapter? Especially on the last day. This gives us no time to gather required responses. If there was a way to determine neighbors that no longer play, it would be a big help. Maybe the developers would be willing to add a 'days since accessed' timer to the neighbor list so that we could remove inactive accounts easier. I really enjoy the game and hate that I may not complete this event.

Having to rely on neighbor invites instead of something you have to do is frustrating, especially since it seems that they get lost in the ether or are delayed long enough to have a real impact on you finishing a chapter on the last day. I dread getting to chapter 10 on Thursday, unless I set an alarm to wake me @ 2:00am to send out invites I could be fighting the last battle @1:59am the next morning with my luck here @ DS.

Way to Ruin a Birthday Storm8
I am a level 150 player and have played this birthday bash since the day it came out. The request from 8 neighbors in chapter 7 took over 9 hours so I knew I had to skip ch 10 with gold for any chance of completing the chapter. Still have 1 hr before I have all the runes tones and still have 2 acts to complete with 9 hrs to go!
The requirements for Ch 10 are totally unrealistic to be done in 1 day without spending a lot of gold. For those of us who have been playing for 4 yrs this is a real slap in the face!
If this is the way things are going to be from now on, these will be my last gold purchases and no more goals for me

I think you better rethink how you set up goals

How can I get food efficiently in DT? I never finish these DTs because of the lack of food.

Please read post #2. There is a section within the rectangular box titled: Planning for the next Dragon Tales Event. It has information about how much food you should have on hand before you start a DT.

Thanks. When I read the thread about problems with getting the birthday invites I didn't see any reference to it being referred.

The February tales also required 345,350 food total...

This event is requiring more. You are more than welcome to research them all. Its not really a question for me. I have the Jack, King & Queen sitting on my island and the Jack & King are both at level 12; therefore, requiring less food.

8 hours and 45 minutes to complete 3 battles and then I'm done. Will craft the cake when I win the second last battle.

Now that Battlecaster is out of the road to success I am happy!

They dont issue refunds for coins or gold so if you use gold, you should expect to not get it back.

Level is no indication by itself as the dragons have different feeding patterns.

They don't issue refunds for sync issues, but this is not a sync issue... It's a bug, but even if you spend gold to skip this step you need to collect runestones and win 4 battles and with only 8 hours to go it is a very tough ask

You can go ahead and craft your cake now. The task requires you to "have" it instead of "craft" it.

I hope you finish everything in time. Good luck!

Sped up the last 2 tournament battles expecting them to take a long time and they both went down first go .... So I have immovable on the nest and Just have 1 more "normal" arena battle to win and I already have the cake baked .... Looking good :)

I have Supreme on the nest. Somehow in my planning for Day 10, I missed the 5 hour wait between harvesting the Fireapples and collecting 80 runestones (I planted Diamondates). Gave me plenty of time to collect my invites, but I only needed about 2 hours to get the needed 15. Then I had to twiddle my thumbs for 3 hours...

One thing I've noticed today in my news feed. I was in the game about every 75-90 minutes for the tournament. I would check the feed for invites to accept and they would range anywhere from minutes ago to 4 hours. To me, that's an issue.

I probably sent out somewhere around 40 invites. Mostly neighbors that I know are active as well as many of the new neighbors I acquired over the past few days.

Basically, I would recommend over**** on the invitations sent and accept that you probably won't be able to collect many Mystic Maps for the day after as invites displace maps (20 received limit).

Supreme dragon is mine forever!

Finished without having to use gold, and got 16 invites in 9 hours today (I was sitting on 13/15 five hours in, so those last four hours waiting for invites were not fun!). For the invites today, since when I opened the app I had one invite request from someone I wasn't planning to ask, I decided to change my strategy. I asked the first 14 neighbors I was planning to ask (those most likely to respond for my time zone), then asked that neighbor. Then, throughout the morning, as a neighbor I had not asked for an invite requested one, I asked them. That certainly helped, and a third of my invites were received using that method.

My goal was to get the invites part done in 8 hours- and I planted the 8hr crops to help mentally, as well as to prepare for the runestone step.

Thank you to everyone who helped, and good luck to everyone still working on the tales!

Actually, it is, they r pretty consistent with how much is needed to feed dragon tales' dragons. My level 12 king & jack require 10,900 each feeding. My level 14 dame of darkness requies 20,000. My level 9 banshee requies 6,000. The surprise level 9 required 6,000. The post that is copy and pasted every dragon tales also shows that.

I'll admit it - I had to use gold to ultimate one of my battles, because I had tried everything and I was worried that Battlecaster would be my barrier to finishing the Tales. (I'm still bitter about the timing on this one!) But the next three battles were all successful, and finally, I have Supreme sitting on my nest.

A huge thank you to all my amazing neighbours who were incredible at responding so quickly. That helped so much. As DeeDee said, we need to keep supporting those that are still going, so I will be checking as often as I can.

Godmother is super rare and will give you large gems not the small ones you need. Your best bet is to trade rare dragons which will give you two small gems. Commons only give one small gem and you never know which of the colors it will be. For instance, a Mist may give a blue or a yellow small gem.

Thank you for the info :) When I collected from the godmother trade earlier, it actually gave me the small sapphire I needed along with the large sapphire and large amethyst! lol I didn't know you could get a small and a large gem of the same type in one trade. Lucky for me I guess lol

Finished with just over 4 hours to spare! I knew when the 8 invites took 2 days that I would need to spend some of my hard won gold to skip the 15 invites, so I did. And I consciously decided not to work on the tourney, to avoid being on high rounds today. Phew! Good luck to those still plowing though!

Poor thing has to wait about 20 hours for a nest: Anubis, Immovable and a Penumbra already incubating, with a current breeding also needing a nest. No, I am NOT buying a fourth nest. Can't afford it.

Also have Supersonic and Lost Bones about to hit crafting, so breeding may have to take a back seat until all these eggs are cleared.

Just fed Sultana up to 13 with some of the remaining food.

Remind me again, this IS a BREEDING game, isn't it?

4 hours remaining on the clock.

Good luck to those still working through Chapters - I will keep my eyes out for your invite requests!

Managed to connect to wifi at work and got more food growing. I don't remember now who suggested mining for food but thank you! That saved planting another round of food. Got the Surprise up to level 12 and then remembered about the stupid collecting from farming! Broke down and bought gold so I could skip that part. Two battles down, two to go. Cake is waiting to be collected. If all goes well I will finish 20 minutes before the event expires....yes I am watching time closely and am ready to speed up battles if necessary. No way I am not finishing this one!!

Upgrapes are my new best friend.

Edit: As expected I jinxed myself by posting and lost the 3rd battle. Sped it halfway thru and won, then sped the last battle halfway thru and won. Cake was placed and Supreme is mine! Total cost of 6+35+2+2 = 45 gold spent on chapter 10.

I will start the day 8 soon and I'm worried about getting 15 invites on day 10. Someone wrote in this thread that it is better only to send requests to people who are playing the game and will send the invites quickly. Is it true? I have a lot of neighbours that do not play. I wonder if the chance to get 15 invites faster will be smaller if I will send invites to all my neighbours?

I sent them to all my neighbors. Main account max 5 minutes after DSTales day 10 started. Got the 15 in less then 10 minutes. 2nd account I did it max 5 minutes later and it took less then 20 minutes. So it seems to me, only the moment you send the request that matters...

Lessons for me: first - skip few next events to build up good buffer of food, and second - don't start the tournament with tales, battle only with easy opponents :)
It can save many stress and gold :)

There was no way I could finish with only playing on WiFi, the amount of resources neede etc. Not sure why it had to be a timed event instead of something you could work towards to receive the dragon in the end. I'm at level 118' finally got the coveted Diamond dragon last month. I have way too many unfinished events and this one I thought would be achievable but sadly it wasn't. It is time to delete for me and move on sadly. Very disappointing but oh well. I will check my game once a day for about a week to help neighbors out but after that I'm finished because this isn't fun to make such an effort, use up all those resources and still not get the prize. Sad.

Sorry to hear it didn't work out for you. I had to come to the realization that I couldn't do all the events and have a life at the same time. I started picking and choosing which ones to participate in. It works out so much better for me that way. I am taking on the challenge of this DT event. i'll see how it ends. Take care of yourself.

Question? I'm on Chapter 9, all organised and will finish easily , my chapter 10 is due to start 8 am tomorrow morning, I'm am as organised for that as I can be , my question is .......... If I decided to start the last chapter early during today will that extend the 24 hour limit to complete the last chapter OR will I be limited to completing that last chapter 24 hours from initialising it today ......

Appreciate some advice please

It took me two days to get 8 birthday invites. So while I waited for the last invites, I prepared for the next chapter. And this is where it all went a total mess. I forgot that I still had to collect runestones before I harvested the pumpwings, and after I had collected the runestones, I noticed I had forgot to send out Playful on Finding Friends, and somewhere in the middle I accidentally picked up the Birthday Candles I had crafted for the next chapter. That happens way too often, I do something else nearby, and suddenly it's picked up. Anyway, not excatly going as planned, but at least it's not the last day ...
