Dragon Tales 4/18/23: Bright Skies

[northernlight412]

(Thank you for the sticky and edit Mods! You rock!)

Hello Neighbors,

Here are the simplified directions to complete the new Bright Skies Dragon Tales event. Not only are the chapters and acts listed, I also put in the supplies needed and how many times the Gleaming Dragon has to be sent on missions. I hope it helps all of you to get the Scintillating Dragon. With no further ado, here's the chapters and I divided them up by levels.

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

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

Note: On my secondary account, I bred Twinkle on the first try using Mercury and Neo Air.
Below is the egg to look for (the egg and dragon reminds me of a dragon S8 should put on sale - Stainglass):

Twinkle Dragon Egg:

This is the final Dragon Tales where I will be at a low enough level to not have to use up all my food and do all the quests. I didn't pay attention on a previous Tales and did quest after quest after quest just like if I were a high level account - made 2 superb stories and whatever the final thing was and then found out I hadn't needed to do all that work. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks for the update, NorthernLight.

[elmarco11]

Thank you for the info again

Strangely, Twinkle has eluded me on my main account. Wait a minute, it's not strange because too many common fails have blue and yellow elements. This is why I keep asking S8 to expire old common dragons. How about a compromise? Expire all 4 hrs commons that are 3 months and older. I guarantee it will help the login issues.

I too cannot breed dragon. Frustrating. Your idea is good but S8 has been asked so many times to do similar clean out and it has been ignored so i doubt it will be done now. I guess they get players buying gold to skip acts by keeping all those dragons. Oh well.

I can’t play on my main Island using an IPad but I can play with an android device I have 2 smaller island the I can use my IPad on. I needed to gather sun drops for the monthly dragon so I decided to play the tales event. I don?t usually play the tales as I find it too time consuming and with the exception of a rare dragon prize that I want, not worth the effort. From the beginning, I have been trying to breed the dragon on all nnn3 islands sometimes getting 4 hour fails, more often 21 hour “super rare” social dragons. At least I can disenchant them for 40 essence that I probably will never use. I agree with you about expiring old common dragons. I also would like to have a way to rid storage of all kinds of things that we can never use. For example, when I earn enough to craft the mine dragon, unless I am sure I can earn a second, I do no more mining until there is a new reward as the unused parts will remain in my storage, doing nothing but clogging the storage and making it more difficult to play and enjoy the game. As rfs0404 said, Oh well

[northernlight412]

Update on the ultra rare common dragon hunt on my main account: After fails that involved many Mists, Socials, Cosmos, Seers, Volts, Pyxis', Magicians, Mindcones, Ambassadors and even a Prime Energy fail, I finally bred Twinkle. Parents were Neo Diamond and Flash. Of course, this ultra rare common dragon put me two days behind in the Tales and tied up my craft shop for days as well. SMH.

[SummerSwan51]

I tried speed breeding for Twinkle and got a bunch of fails that I can disenchant. I did end up spending gold to get it.

[Mikep101]

Speed bread nonstop Volts. Had to buy the common.

[SummerSwan51]

Speed bread nonstop Volts. Had to buy the common.

Ugh. At least Volts are only 5 hours, but only d/c for 2 Essence, so I sold all those, but kept the Seekers, which are only 7 hours and d/c for 10 Essence.
