After my 40th adventure looking for the 3rd egg I took a break...sent my knights on a dark cave quest. I think 40 adventures is plenty and anyone who has used that many resources and done that many adventures should receive 3 eggs...just sayin'.
For anyone contemplating buying an egg...I would suggest you use gems for the Mithril dragon. He drops mithril AND dragon scales...guaranteed..EVERY DAY! These new dragons are dropping the same random items the orange dragons do.
I was max'd on Mithril and dragon scales when this quest started...thanks to my Mithril dragon.
If a player doesn't have any of the new Dragon eggs or the regular Forgotten Roost Dragon and really, really wants a dragon for Dragon Scales, then spending 200 gems for one of the new dragon eggs is definitely a cheaper alternative than buying the Forgotten Roost Dragon (350 gems) or Mithril Dragon (400 gems) from the Marketplace.
Obviously, getting a free egg from a random Pyre Quest is the best deal.
200 gems costs roughly $10, while 450 gems for the Mithril dragon or 350 gems for the Forgotten Roost dragon would require a $20 gem package purchase.
For some people, $10 is far more preferable than $20.
Note: if someone wants to buy all 3 new eggs, the best Gem package purchases would be for one $4.99 and one $19.99, for a total of $24.98..., which may be worth it if you want 3 limited edition dragons for ~$8.34 each.

I agree that they don't drop jewels nearly often enough and ideally would always give a jewel with the rarer possibility of multiples.
I got a dragon egg yesterday. Unfortunately it was the normal dragon egg from the Roost!! Now I have two normal eggs awaiting an Ember.
I finally received the ultramarine on the 27th try on one account. The other account hasn't reached 27 yet and nothing but multiple pyres.
I like big involved quests and am grateful for the thought and effort put into them having something to specific to do in game is great. Randomness is ok in a quest, timed quests are ok too. But please, never random+timed.
Roar I got my last egg (Sparkiling one) gave my jewels and silver from my inventory then my game resets and my egg has gone check my barracks (were it came from) and it showed the barracks as just finishing it went back 5 minutes and I've now got no egg and need to resend on quest to try and get another one this is probably why I have lost 5 neighbours due to them getting fed up of how this quest is not being fun it's becoming more frustrating
