    Kooky pretty much spelled everything out in post 1 in this thread, but I attached a screenshot of the "info" page.

    You can *either* craft or breed a Spellspine dragon, or both. I was lucky enough to breed two on each of my two accounts, so I didn't need to bother with crafting. It is good if you can get 2 because you can evolve one up to level 10 to get more points while the 2nd one is on quests for points, but if you only get 1, level it up and then start sending it on quests.
    The dragon itself doesn't actually do anything, like manipulate fissure or whatever you said. It just helps you get points toward the prizes.
    Probably the best place to find the info on all different aspects of playing this game and to read about the events is in this forum, quite frankly.
    You don't *have* to spend any gold. Spending gold would help you advance further faster so that you might be able to get tall the prizes, but you don't *have* to if you don't want to. However, at this point, if you don't already have a Spellspine dragon, you're kind of far behind to catch up. I started playing right away when the event started and was lucky to quickly breed the Spellspine dragons, and I'm still at under 4000 points on both of my accounts, so I haven't unlocked community prizes yet, but I will get there before the event ends. I'm not sure if I will get the first dragon prize, and I almost certainly won't reach the final dragon this time. *sigh*

    I really like the Arcane Gem and wish that we could have one or more to display, even though there isn't much room for decor. I would make room for one of those, especially if it were big enough to see, like a 2x2 or something.

    It feels like they made adjustments since last time (I don't have time to go back and do comparisons between the 2 events) because it feels like it is taking much longer to get to the prizes. I was able to breed 2 Spellspine dragons on both accounts, so I was able to level one up and send one on quests on each account, and I still have quite a ways to go before I can unlock community prizes, much less get a new dragon. They must have decided last time was too easy because last time I was done before the event even ended. This time I don't think I'll get the final dragon. Does anyone else notice a difference?

    Hello Phoenix. Totally agree. I play quite regularly and pretty well always get the prizes but this time I don’t know if I can get the last one. I may have to do some speed food growing etc using boosts. This is not normal for me so yes, prizes seem harder to get. Keep going!!!

    Oh yes, it definitely feels harder this time. Below I'll list the differences I've noticed and you can decide why you're struggling more:

    - This time, 1000 points for Event Common (Spellspine)
    - Last time - 3000 points for Event Common (Gold Pheasant)
    - This time better point deco (Mega Portal) won at 2150 points
    - Last time better point deco (Sky Flier) won at 2000 points
    - This time Comm. Prizes need 18.5, 22, 155 million points to win
    - Last time Comm. Prizes - 12.8, 30 and 60 million needed to win
    - This time less bonus points = Battles - 5x, Breeding - 3x, Evolving - 3x, Hatching - 1pt/hr (none), Harvesting - 1pt/hr (none)
    - Last time more bonus points = Battles - 5x, Breeding - 5x, Evolving - 5x, Hatching - 2x, Harvesting 4x
    - This time Event Quests - 3 hour: 72-100, 8 hour: 110-140, 12 hour: 140-350
    - Last time Event Quests - 3 hour: 130-165, 8 hour: 205-250, 12 hour: 235-260
    - This time milestones - 150, 750, 2150, 5750, 8500 (comm. unlocks@ 4500)
    - Last time milestones - 150, 750, 2000, 6000, 9500 (comm. unlocked @ 5000)
    - This time - Common disenchants for 10 Essence
    - Last time - Common disenchants for 2 Essence

    After looking over these differences I think I see why it's harder this time, for me at least. Last time though the totals needed were higher, we got boosted points for every task that gave points and the boosted points were higher; whereas this time we get less boosted points from fewer tasks. I'm honestly not sure how I'm going to do or if I'll even finish at this point which is both sad and irritating.

    If we had gone straight from the old set up to this event we players might not have complained. But compared to the last WE, this one is sort of a let down and the points are once more a struggle to obtain. S8 showed us they could make events a bit easier and more enjoyable for players last WE so this event seems doubly disappointing to me.

    @annirassweets OMG, I can't believe that you took time to do all those comparisons! But thank you for doing so.

    Yes, I agree that they shouldn't have made it easy one time and now made it harder again. I wish that S8 would figure it out already!

    You're welcome but I already had the write ups for both events so I merely had to note the differences. I think it's important that everyone can plainly see the differences and share their views on them. Last time, all the posts (and there were many) were positive after the initial shock of the numbers wore off and we saw how the new set up would work. This time, very few posts and people are once more unhappy.

    I can understand not wanting to make events effortless but there's a middle ground that they refuse to acknowledge and that's what irritates me most. I'll play as I usually do, get where I get and live on in the hope that they'll figure this out before the game celebrates it's 10th anniversary, lol.

    I am undecided at this point. The last event was really easy, which was great because I was busy. This time it is harder but I also didn't activate my breeding roost so I'm not sure how much that effects it. Still...a little over two days left and I still need 3500 to get to the last goal?

    I got the Spellspine dragon on the first day and raised him to level 10 with back to back evolving, he's been questing pretty much ever since.

    I got the portal the first day and the Megaportal the third day (I think).

    I used 2 10X food boosts to boost points from farming (coupled with bingo cards).

    I don't know...it just seems harder...

    Oh great, there's the info on which level to raise the Spellspine. Thanks for that!

    Also, I do understand that they're in the business to make money, durr...and the last event was on the much easier side. But one of the biggest things they can't seem to grasp is that everything is always on SUCH a time crunch? It's like they don't factor in that people have to eat, sleep, shower, go to school/work, possibly have a fraction of a social life, etc.

    Just seems that they can't/won't find a middleground to appease new players as well as veterans so that it's not ridiculously hard and demanding, but not too easy peasy 5000 either.
