I think the challenges are skewed to the point of being impossible to finish without gold.
I have collected numerous Upgrapes and Rushrooms today, but did not get a single leaf.
These are both the higher priced crops, that should have given a leaf, considerng that we
need 100+ of them in 14 days.
Also, the Parakeet dragon (super rare) I hatched and placed in a habitat didn't seem to
count as anything either..
I was excited to try this out, but am disappointed so far. The challenges in this game are
becoming too hard to be enjoyable any more. For eg I have decided to skip the next couple
of tournaments because the last 7 rounds of this past tournament for the Ninja dragon took
me over 3 days to complete. When the game becomes a stressor instead of a de-stressor,
it is time to think about quitting.
