I'm blaming Kennedward for that, boasting about his 900 bombs! :D :D

Glad that it is a stone type, as I have a spare stone spot after buying another stone quarry for the last two.

Wow okay. I was mining away and I got a scarab dragon instead of a part for overgrowth. I didn't take a screenshot because I thought it was just a bug? But it's in my storage!

overgrowth is not the most exciting of dragons and 300 parts is a loooot! I hope we get some mining boost weekends again...

300 pieces!!! Is this a joke??? During the last round I barely had enough pieces to craft one of the dragons, never mind both. And now I need another 300 just to get one? I don't have any BPD's and I can't evolve at level 4 like most ppl. My first evolution is not until level 7, so that, with Tales, I was always struggling to get the 200 pieces that we used to have to get.

I highly doubt someone has 900 bombs, even if they skipped all mining dragons since bomb producing dragons were released. I've been steadily collecting from the dynamite dragon since it dropped without spending (mine closed) and only have 360, even if you double that counting for the extra bomb dragon there is not no 900. Like I said that's without using any

Whaaaat? 300 pieces for a single dragon that looks a lot like a recoloring of Regrowth seems too much! Plus I'm kinda tired of the 4 legged 2 winged dragons. I wish we could see more Fairy or Skylord based designs, or maybe something completely new instead.

If the doubles event is a new feature, this may be related to that - or this extra dragon two people so far have reported.

My data on OVERGROWTH can be found within the 2 screen shots of my wall.

Wish someone would help me figure out how to post to the Forum from my Samsung Galaxy Note 5 like I can onto DS walls...

AuntAlyx
07-19-16, 11:28 PM
It is my theory that because OVERGROWTH is an exceptional dragon for breeding w/ LOVE to obtain a DIAMOND, Storm8 wanted to make it just as difficult to Craft. My math says it would take 25 full 24 hour days of evolving dragons to obtain the bombs necessary IF you hit @ least twice each attempt & IF all dragons being evolved have an incubation length evenly divisible by 4. So if you had an evolve time of 19 hours you wasted 3 hours... Will Storm8 leave OVERGROWTH in the Mine for a month? It might be possible to obtain one then... :/

Maybe their intent with stalagmite and stalactite was to see how many people were able to get 300 pieces.

DeeDe99
07-20-16, 02:38 AM
I'm curious to know if the Scarab dropping is a glitch or intentional. 300 for two dragons isn't so bad and if they retain the doubles weekend that helps considerably.

HOWEVER I feel for the long term players with little left to evolve, especially those with no evolution step from level 3 to 4. This is a big ask for them, I think.

Sandybellee
07-20-16, 02:50 AM
This must be one gargantuan dragon requiring 300 pieces!

I'm excited about the possibility to get a Scarab dragon! No luck with that so far though and had a lousy mining session last night in other respects too, only getting 45 pieces from 25 bombs.

DeeDe99
07-20-16, 05:34 AM
I too have a Scarab dragon! On the nest now. Definitely looks like a part of this mining adventure.

07-20-16, 06:26 AM
I was very intimidated to try for 300 pieces. I usually get the mining dragons with a few days to spare, but I have a whole list of the evolution times of my dragons so I can time everything to get maximum bombs even away from my iPod. (I have no BPD) The bonus weekend would be a huge help. Even though I only needed a couple bombs over the last one, it felt more satisfying to actually get a bunch of pieces, instead of messing up when the game hangs and getting one per bomb!!!

On the other hand, I don't have a scarab dragon! I hope it's prize for everyone. I've got a mine to tackle!

PinkBubbles75
07-20-16, 08:11 AM
I got a radioactive dragon from mining! I thought it was a glitch but I guess it isn't since others are also finding dragons. I wonder what other dragons can be found whilst mining :)

Natasha_07
07-20-16, 08:23 AM
Question, are you guys getting these dragon drops on android or iOS, also is it only in the section for mining parts to craft dragons or island parts as well. :confused:

Thank you for any answers.

Xyn25
07-20-16, 09:06 AM
Hmm, Scarab and Radioactive? I already have Radioactive but I'd love to get Scarab! This would actually be a nice way to bring back previously released dragons, get them as a surprise drop from mining.

Somewhat 18 bombs, and I got a Scarab. Not pleased, because I already did my work for that one... and it's costing me a piece for this one now... Hoping not to end with more dragons I already have, I also have Radioactive...

pinkflower7777
07-20-16, 04:24 PM
I was feeling kind of left out as I had 130 pieces and no Radioactive or Scarab drop yet. Then I checked my storage and there was Radioactive. Not sure when it happened, but am very pleased.

amalsaba
07-21-16, 12:01 AM
Ok storm 8 please explain what's happening here! We get it 300 pieces are achievable to so many. I was one of those able to craft 3 of the last mining dragons requiring 150 pieces each (without a bomb producing dragon). But please please please explain why are some players getting dragons instead of pieces in the mine?
I want one 😯

Anaboe
07-21-16, 02:57 AM
amalsaba, I wish I could give you mine... and you'd give me pieces for this new dragon...

zyfazix

Hopefully I'll get a Scarab from mining because I regret evolving my first one to epic. The flying animation makes my head hurt every time I see it.

The design of this dragon is great, I love the greys and greens and the design on the chest. Is this the first time that a mining dragon is also available for purchase through the market? I don't remember seeing that before this one

Kennedward

Kennedward

I'm on IOS, got all 300 pieces within minutes after the dragon's release time, but no dragon for me either

DeeDe99
07-21-16, 07:32 AM
It occurred to me as I was mining - maybe we have to hit a particular spot to get the dragon. If we miss it, no dragon for us.

If I were designing this feature, I would replace one of the pieces we are mining for on the grid with a dragon. If the player didn't hit that spot, I would repeat the process, placement randomly generated, for the next bomb. Repeat until dragon is found. If not found on any attempt, then no dragon.

Would snyone possibly get two dragons? Is there a dragon on every grid? Not sure I'd be that generous, but maybe S8 are! :)

Interesting.

Notice the wording on the screen (posted in a previous comment (http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?93010-New-Mining-Dragon-2016-july-19-Overgrowth-(stone-green-super-rare)&p=1322564&viewfull=1#post1322564)) "That's all for this mine! Buy more bombs to play again!" Enticement to seek more dragons?

07-22-16, 04:58 AM
Seeing how I have over 850 bombs right now, I'll try to go for a second dragon, just to see if I get any dragon prizes from mining

This will be a first for me, but it only means I'll be trading away one, since I have no space for doubles :D

I bet this is why it's possible to mine dragons right now :) to get people to use their bombs instead of stockpiling for the next one

I figured out my confusion. There are the two screens, the refill screen with the 4 second timer and the rewards summary screen. They have different wording. When I got the dragon, it skipped the usual screen about refilling with gold and went straight to the rewards screen. Hence I saw different text at a different time, if that makes sense!

You can only have more than 25 bombs if you have a bomb producing dragon. The bombs they produce are not included in the 25 limit, that applies to bombs dropped by the evolution temple.

This dragon should be in the mine until at least August 16th, since that's four full weeks. Probably one or week more than that.
There has only been one dragon where they put a timer in the mine at release, I'm not sure what dragon it was but it could've been Opal or Cursed Idol.

Anyone know when this ends? I have 25 bombs but I'm not sure if I want to use them or save them for the next crafting dragon.... I still need a hundred and seventy piece to craft overgrowth so I'm not sure if I'll have time to find that many....thanks

Halfway there I took the gamble they will have another 2x weekend hope I'm right or more time wasted and pieces in storage

Currently at 179 pieces averaging 2.24 pieces per bomb. If we only get 28 days I'll be a few pieces short of finishing

I noticed we need 300 parts. Are we getting extra time to collect the extra 100 parts?

I'm wondering about that too, got over 1200 bombs waiting for the next one

Finally got around to collecting enough pieces to get the first one crafting.

Finally done with the Overgrowth. Now I'm just saving bombs too. Hopefully the next dragon will be twins like Stalagmite and Stalactite - those were cool.

lol - 1200 bombs. You could craft an army of them.

I've got 219 pieces and 13 bombs. I will definitely need either extra time or a bonus weekend to make it. I barely got both Stalagmite and Stalactites with the bonus weekend. Goodluck to everyone still working on this!

Depends on how many pieces are required, if it's 300 like this one, then I can get around 4 or so

Are the mining bonus dragons (scarab and radioactive) leaving as well? Or will they stay for the next dragon?

On the in-game notification of the dragon leaving 26th of August, they also showed the eggs... so I think they are leaving as well, a shame because I didn't get either of them despite mining several extra pieces. :( I wonder what is considered a "rare" drop, 1/100 chance, 1/500, 1/1000?

Only 3 days left now. No way I can make it. I am a lousy miner. Lol. So will the pieces ever be used for something else or am I just stuck with them in my storage now??

We have had one time when a dragon parts could be requested I can't remember now which one it was but request could be received and requested like Lotus flowers so you may get to use them.

......It was Venetian Glass

I saw that too, I figured (hoped) it was just a reminder that they could be found, not an ad of them expiring as well. I'm mad because I actually got Scarab, but due to a wifi glitch mishap, I lost it.

Even though I didn't mine anything last week I'll still have enough time to finish. 7 or 8 bombs are needed to get the final 17 pieces. Too bad crafting has to be during a Dragon Tales.

hiabarara
08-24-16, 06:45 AM
I only have about 170 pieces. I'm not even sure why. Sometimes I forget to bomb and then I'll lose some bombs because of the maximum of 25 bombs, so maybe that's why. It's a bit upsetting because I like Special Types, but what can you do. I guess the next dragon will need 300 pieces again, so I need to step up my game.

Some of us really don't have enough. I hate to think I have wasted 260 pieces for nothing and I evolve constantly.

PinkBubbles75
08-24-16, 08:35 AM
I have 274 pieces now and no bombs. I have my titan dragon evolving now and then probably my soul dragon afterwards.. The timing could not be any worse... Crafting for the tales needs to be done.. which might not have been an issue for me.. if there was a double piece weekend or at least double pieces for the remainder of the time for this mining dragon. That would've allowed me to get last 20-something pieces I need way before I need to craft for the tales.

We'll see what happens...

I have always gotten the mining dragon except this time. This time also was the first time I did not get all the dragons in the community event...what was once possible without spending gems is no longer possible....I even have a miner dragon .....

Will we get a new mining dragon straight away, I will be on 25 bombs when overgrowth leaves (he's already sat in his habitats) and I'd rather use the bombs for food for tales than waste the new ones I get from evolving. As I have a max of 25 bombs in storage grrrrr.

The new one usually appears 4 hours after the previous dragon leaves.

Typically the new mining dragon shows up around 3-4 hours after the old one goes away. So for me, the old one leaves around 1:00 PM (EST) and the new one will show up by about 5:00 PM (EST).

08-25-16, 09:12 AM
Yeah, they timed this really badly considering we have to use the craft shop so much for the Tales. I'm only on 283 pieces. I've got 4 bombs left with 3 hours left on my Galaxy dragon which should give me 4 more. Hopefully I can get the last 17 pieces with that. I'll need to start crafting Overgrowth as soon as the White Glass is done because I'll need the craft shop again for Day 9 of the tales.

This dragon needed too many pieces and then they end it during an event that requires the crafting shop being used regularly. SMH

I never got any eggs from mining and I still need pieces to get overgrowth. Guess I'll save my bombs for the next one that pops up. :(

zyfazix
08-25-16, 03:58 PM
Oh yeah on a sidenote. I didn't notice any spare dragons while mining. Maybe there's something in storage but I doubt it. If there is something though, let it be Scarab

freesiawoods
08-25-16, 09:23 PM
I thought they were always considerate not to coincide tge expiry with the tales. Guess they are hungry for gold. I was having DS fatigue so slacked off on the evolutions and will be missing this one anyway.
