Dragon Tales 3/14/23: Depths of Despair

[northernlight412]

(Thank You For The Sticky On This Post)

Hello Neighbors,

Here are the simplified directions to complete the new Depths of Despair Dragon Tales event. Not only are the chapters and acts listed, I also put in the supplies needed and how many times the Mockery Dragon has to be sent on missions. I hope it helps all of you to get the Duskarch Dragon. It sure is a beautiful dragon. With no further ado, here's the chapters and I divided them up by levels.

Note: You can level up the Mockery, Asterism and Blarney Dragons to their required levels early and they'll count. For most players Mockery needs to be at level 14, Asterism to level 12 and Blarney to level 6.

Note: You can breed Blarney Dragon early (breed green and yellow) and it will count when asked in Chapter 6.

Note: The breeding combo is indeed green and yellow for Blarney. Got it on the first try with Forest and Neo Air.

Note: For Blarney Dragon, look for this egg

Thanks again, northernlight!

I'm not too sure about these dragons - might just play the first few days and then bail. I do hope I get a Blarney dragon, though.

[Dany_d1]

Thanks again, Northernlight!

[kanajunroses]

Thanks northern lights. I read to keep up with what is happening on dragon story has been weeks since the game opens. Even tried iOS 16. Nothing. So, please keep us updated.

[RisZinnia]

12 green and yellow dragons later, still no Blarney. Any suggestions? I?m breeding Forest and Air. Thanks and love the post

If you have a dark/yellow dragon such as Elite Dark, I'd breed it with a pure green or heart/green dragon such as Envious or Scoundrel. If you have Haze (dark/green), I'd breed it with a pure yellow or heart/yellow such as Tender. If you have the diamond type dragons Gold and Quetzal, I'd breed them. Creativity with breeding sometimes work. There's no surefire way to getting Blarney as Dragon Story mucked up the breeding process by keeping common dragons way beyond their time as documented in many posts where players asked to get rid of over 100 common dragons.

I finally got it and came to see if the egg pic was posted
I’ve just been doing forest and air but have skipped a fair few 4 hours with the 5x boosts on

I'm sorry this happened to you. This seems to happen infrequently. Once in a while not all the markers will complete correctly. Send a service request to Storm8 ASAP as Dragon Tales is time sensitive.

I had a ton of fails before I finally got it. Sometimes it just takes luck and patience.
