I would like to be able to purchase, for a low gem price or for coins, additional items that had to be crafted for a Dragon Tale, after the event ends. For example, I love the Fade Firs. I'd like to decorate with them. Unfortunately, they are not available to craft for long enough to make as many as I'd like. There have been many things I've crafted for these events that I would have liked to have more than one of.

I'm probably in the minority, but I don't like to battle in the arena, at all. I don't care if I get the final dragon, but I have a fun time crafting the items for each Dragon Tale. I usually stop at Chapter 8, then just craft the event items.
