I called it! I said it'll be a new Dragon Tales

The last dragon looks cool, but I feel like I've seen this design many times by now :s But it's still pretty.
The important thing for me is what kind of types they are. Does someone have these informations?

The habitat is lovely....too bad I don't have enough gold. A sale would be nice right now TL ...hint hint.

The tasks for my level (99 and 102) are difficult so I may only go for the first two dragons. I only have 200,000 and even if I wait until Tuesday it will be a stretch since I just bought the two GPDs. Good luck everyone!!!!

From what I have learned by participating in the Dragon Tales events. Information specific to this Dragon Tales event (food requirements, special crafted items, etc.) will be added to the top of this post as the information becomes available.

Dragon Food Requirements

Special Quests
coming

Special Crafted Items

Requesting Dragon Tales Related Items
*Request from your neighbors when prompted. The Dragon Tales dialog box will give you a button that allows you to send the requests.
*You will need to collect the requested amount of items after the prompt; any received before the current prompt will not count.
*Do not send map/lotus requests on days that you need the Dragon Tales items. We are assuming that you will only be able to receive 20 requests total per day as usual. If you have already received 20 maps/lotuses you may not receive any Dragon Tales items until the next day.
*If you need neighbors, especially neighbors in a similar time zone, use the add me forum: https://forums.storm8.com/forumdispla...n-Story-Add-Me.

Breeding Suggestions
coming as soon as we know more

How it works
*The first possible day of the event begins at reset (10:30 am Pacific time).
*Each day ends and the next day starts at midnight Pacific time.
*Each day ends at a fixed time relative to when you started the event. Say you start on a Tuesday, day 2 starts Wednesday at midnight Pacific time, day 3 starts Thursday at midnight Pacific time, etc. If you skip ahead on day 1 to play the tasks for day 2, you will still have to wait until Thursday at midnight Pacific time to start the tasks for day 3 unless you spend more gold to skip ahead again.
*Each day has a series of tasks. At the end of day two, you will receive a dragon. This dragon will need to be leveled up during the event and will need to go on special quests as prompted. You probably need to take this dragon to level 10 or above, so plan your food accordingly as it may take 100,000 food.
*The tasks get increasingly difficult and more time consuming each day. The first 3 days are pretty easy and could all be completed in one day if needed.
*You do not need to complete each day within that day. If you fall behind a day you will not have to wait until midnight for the next step, it will start right away.
*The prize for the second day is a dragon. Even if you don't want to try to complete the event, you can play through day 2 to get this dragon. There will be a second dragon mid way through the event that can be acquired fairly easily as well.
*There are prizes for completing the tasks for each day of the event. Day 1 you get the dragon mentioned above. On days 2-7 the prizes may be coins & experience points, special event related decoration, food, or maps.
*If you complete the event, you will receive an Ultra Rare dragon.
*If the event ends before you have completed every task, you will not get the final prize.
*Each task may be skipped by using gold. Parts of tasks may not be skipped by using gold. Say you need to plant 7 crops and you plant 6, it will cost the full skip amount for planting the 1 remaining crop.
*Tasks may differ for players below level 31 as these players can't battle yet.

When to Start
*You do not need to start right away. There is a window of time in which you may start the game. Your 10 days start when you start the event so your day 1 may be different from your neighbor's day 1. At the end of this time window, the event will automatically start. You can chose not to participate in the event if you wish. A delayed start will also give you time to save up food and trade duplicate dragons for gemstones required in the event.
*The last 3-4 days of the event will require a lot of attention. Schedule the event to work with your personal schedule. Maybe you have a family reunion and will be busy all weekend. It may make sense for you to start on Friday as the first 3 days are quick and easy (day 1 usually takes 5 minutes total, and day 2 usually takes 5-10 minutes if you plan ahead). Whereas, if you started on Tuesday you would need to spend a lot of time with the game. This either compromises your reunion or your ability to complete the event.
*Days 1-3 can be completed in one day if necessary. Say the event automatically starts and you aren't free to play yet. No problem, start when you can.
*Starting a day or two or three after the event begins means you will know what all the tasks are based on the information posted here on the forum. It is always easier if you know what to expect.
*There is a good chance we will have a tournament during the event. It may be a 3 day flash tournament starting on a Friday or a 6 day tournament starting on a Tuesday. Keep this in mind when deciding when to start the event. You do not want to battle the toughest dragons of a tournament during chapters 9 and 10. On the other hand, the beginning of a tournament with the early and easy opponents, can be a great help during the last chapters. We don't know when tournaments will happen, just keep it in mind when deciding when to start the event.

General Tips
*Check the forum for information on the tasks required for each day of the event. Use this information to plan your approach to the event. It will be much easier if you know what to expect and when you need to be ready to breed, battle, quest, craft, etc.
*Do not use gold to skip to the next day. It is not worth it unless you are doing so strategically.
*Some tasks can be done ahead of time: quests, crafting special items, and leveling up the dragon received on day 2. Do not collect until prompted or it will not count!
Some tasks cannot be done ahead of time such as breeding and battling. If one of the tasks is to mate a certain dragon, you need to wait for the prompt or it will not count. Same goes for battling, you need to be prompted first.
*There is a big difference between raise your dragon to a certain level and feed your dragon. If you are asked to raise the dragon this can be done ahead of time without penalty. If you are asked to feed the dragon you must wait until prompted or it will not count.
*You may need to breed two days in a row. Make sure your breeding den is available when needed. Plan your breeding for outcomes less than 24 hours if you need to breed the next day. See breeding suggestions above.
*Each task may be skipped by using gold. The amount of gold varies depending on the task. Try to avoid using gold at the beginning of the event as the event will get more difficult each day and the temptation, or need, to skip tasks will increase.
*If you are stuck on a particularly difficult battle, consider speeding up the time between battles instead of using an Ultimate hit. It only cost 4 gold to battle again right away compared to the 12 gold for Ultimate (30 gold if there is a tournament). You may choose to use Ultimate if you don't have many good battling dragons. If you do use Ultimate, use it within the battle rather than skipping the entire task from the event interface.
*You may need to raise a dragon to a level above 10. You need to buy a Noble Crystal and place it on your isle to do this. Find it in the market under the buildings tab. The cost is 500,000 coins and there is no build time.
*Do not skip (with gold) having a Noble Crystal. If you need to level dragons above level 10, you must have a Noble Crystal and the gold used to skip buying it will be wasted. Or you'll need to use gold to skip all steps requiring dragons to be above level 10 and those steps are the most gold intensive steps in Dragon Tales. A Noble Crystal will be required for all future Dragon Tales so you'll be one step ahead next time.

Troubleshooting
*If you have completed a task and you haven't received credit for it (such as leveling up a dragon), try force closing and reopening your game. To force close, double click on the home button and swipe up on any apps you wish to force close. If that fails, try deleting our game and reinstalling it. Your game progress is saved on storm8's servers so you shouldn't lose any progress. You may wish to make sure you have a login for your storm8 account just in case you need it after reinstalling your game.

Planning for the next Dragon Tales event
*Have a variety of small gemstones on hand. It is always easier to not need to speed breed, evolve, and trade just to craft an item. The best way to do this is to trade your duplicate rare dragons. Rare dragons will give at least 2 small gemstones. Common dragons can work as they will give one small gemstone though it may not be the color you want. For instance, Wild is a common red-green dragon. Trading it will give you either a small green or a small red gemstone.
*Consider keeping a stash of food on hand to level up the dragon received on day 2 and a second dragon. So far, the most food required for a single event has been about 380,000.

Of course. These are the prettiest Dragon Tales dragons in a while, and I have no food stored up after the leaderboard event, and I'll be out of town next weekend.

I can probably grow a lot of food by Tuesday. Being away will be rougher.

OMG !! Great Dragon's and lovely habitat.
Oh dear so much to do. I had thought I would give this one a miss... But surely not after seeing the dragons. I foresee major food supply shortage.
I have just bought the 2 GPDs and am furiously planting food to lvl those up to lvl 10 . Now will definitely need food to get these Dragon's
Okay I am off to planting and farming
Best of luck everyone
