Hello Neighbors,

I want to make a note to the designers of the Fairytale type dragons released today. All of these dragons are so awesome, EVERY. SINGLE. ONE. of them especially the Classic Dragon in the mines this month. The stars on the wings remind me of a holiday we celebrate every July in the United States - Independence Day. FlatFoot would definitely approve of them and I'm certainly proud of you guys. You really put your feet into this month and I can't wait to collect these fine dragons. Kudos to you!!!

Here are the simplified directions to complete the new New Heroes Dragon Tales event. Not only are the chapters and acts listed, I also put in the supplies needed and how many times the Luddite Dragon has to be sent on missions. I hope it helps all of you to get the Magus Dragon as it is a great looking dragon. With no further ado, here's the chapters and I divided them up by levels.

Note: You can level up the Luddite, Merchant and Monastic Dragons to their required levels early and they'll count. For most players Luddite needs to be at level 14, Merchant to level 12 and Monastic to level 6.
***If you are below level 80, then look at your level listing to see required levels for your dragons.***

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

Note: I had an hour of 10x boosts on my secondary island and tried breeding Monastic with a record number of fails and a ticket will be sent to support. I'm convinced this dragon has either not been put in the breeding pool or another Wishlist is going on. 30 tries is my limit and let's take a look at this parade, shall we?

Air/Water: 1. Volt, 2. Volt, 3. Cosmos, 4. Rainbow, 5. Mindcore, 6. Cosmos, 7. Lightfoot, 8. Pyxis, 9. Cosmos, 10. Lightfoot, 11. Volt, 12. Seashore, 13. Frilly, 14. Frilly, 15. Volt, 16. Magician, 17. Pyxis, 18. Cosmos, 19. Rainbow, 20. Volt (then game crashes, lol), 21. Seashore, 22. Volt, 23. Primal Might, 31. That dreaded Social that's a super rare that acts like a common on my island, 32. Mist, see Social. 33. FINALLY Monastic.

Neo Rapunzel/Mercury (wanted to get creative): 24. Honeybee

Tie Dye/Curio: 25. Viridian, 26. Serpent

Gold/Mercury: 27. Lightfoot, 28. March Madness, 29. Frilly, 30. Cosmos (Gave Up)

Note: After doing as I said I would in the last note, I strangely got Monastic on the 33rd try with Air and Water. Why it took what I did and why 33 tries? I'll just stay silent on that.

The egg to look for is below. Good luck!

[SummerSwan51]

Thanks so much for the very thorough overview!

I'm actually thinking about not completing this Tales as the dragons don't appeal to me save for the Luddite, which I already have on my nest. You and I must have a different aesthetic. Maybe I'll change my mind as the next 10 days wear on, though.

I don't know. You may want to try to complete this one because the Wood Nymph Dragon is pretty good. It's beautiful and is a good fighter. Just remember the tips I told you about food and you'll never have a problem completing any Dragon Tales. Never let any bombs or dynamite go to waste no matter if the food is only a little bit. They add up.

For the dragons that were released today, hey, the beautiful thing about having great minds like ours is we are all unique in our likes. If I were in your position, SummerSwan51, I'd skip what I don't care much for just like you. I've should've done that during the Shine month of April. I hated most of those dragons and I've traded most of them for essence and space if the color black or pink are not in the elements (black and pink I break my neck for to collect because they're great in battle).

After a day trying, I finally can log in to start the Tale, and first try is Social, lucky me :'(

[[S8] Elsa]

I checked Monastic Dragon for you and confirmed the Dragon was released properly breedable and wasn't modified after being released, so in your case it truly was some awful luck.

Thank you so much for looking into that Elsa. It's much appreciated! :-)

[SummerSwan51]

No luck yet for me to breed the dragon, either, although I haven't made as many attempts as you have.

We've shared the feedback with our design team. It's possible that the breeding pool has too many dragons in it. It takes time to review systems and make changes, so we appreciate some time to review and make any necessary improvements. This wouldn't be implemented for this event, but we look forward to reviewing the concerns for future events.

[Mikep101]

No luck for me to breed either, same for most of these now. Most pools are saturated with commons and add a few 20 hr plus breeds and statistically the odds are way against breeding one in 10 days of the event. So appreciate you discussing with the team Elsa. Lots of other better things to spend 200 gold on.

I was one of the lucky few on my main Island. I got it on my third try. I am still trying on my second island, but only plan on going to chapter 6 anyway there. I do think it would be a nice gesture on S8’s part to find a way to compensate the players who do spend the gold either to buy the dragon or to skip where it is required. This would not include me and I don’t know if that would even be possible, but if so, it would be a good gesture. Thank you
