Castle 6-27-2013 Update - The Dragon Egg

[dragoniakingdom]

Yet another day without the dragon egg!

I hope that the game developers realize that having a random drop to start a quest will leave many players frustrated and unhappy when it goes on for weeks like this.

The Alicorn was frustrating in it's own way,however it was *not* a starting point for a long quest line and I accepted the fact that it took me four months to obtain the items.

If the dragon egg takes me as long I really don't know if my enjoyment of the waiting....waiting....waiting will last as long.

For now I am just going in to do basic things such as *priority 1* check the Roost."....and doing the daily neighbours visit & that's about it!

Not weird at all. Coals because Dragons breathe fire, and coals = fire, and jewels because... ever hear of the legends of dragons roosting on piles and piles of jewels and treasure?

So you are saying you are expecting getting 2 coals or jewels after 22 hours of waiting,or it's the only way logical,cos coal=fire,and dragon roosting on jewels. But I am expecting more!

I got a manticore egg, my 2nd on this kingdom, my 5th on my other kingdom. 2 days later I got my dragon egg on both kingdoms. So don't give up people! My question is, I collected dragon scales yesterday, what are they for? It usually says for example (for making potions) This just says its dragon scales. does anyone know what they're for?

Another dragon egg-less day for me as well. Just upgraded my remaining building to level 5 (except for the 4 spellbooks I need for 2nd WS to level 5). I would love to constantly work on the materials I will need to upgrade both of my Deep Mines to level 5, but severe limitations/shortages of sap, mermaid scales & living wood have put a kabosh on those plans. Fishing for MS to make the 10 Enchanter's Essence I needed for the final cathedral upgrade, not to mention for all of the enchanted building materials, just about ****ed me! It certainly took a disproportionate amount of my energy. Another fishing expedition this morning resulted in 0/5. It is disheartening to watch everybody work through this dragon egg questline, and not even be able to start. Plus, it's another 22 hours before I can even check for it again. By the time I get my egg, everybody will be yawning and saying "been there, done that."

This games just does not wanna give me more books from the library, only have 3...... Ugh!!!

WOOT! I received the Dragon's Egg last night so I can start hitting the Libraries for Encyclopedia Bestiary volumes while setting aside Milk, Enchanted Essence, Hide, Mithril, and tons of Wool for future steps in this Quest. I also received my tenth Badge (Trader) last night, built the Knight's Hall, and upgraded it to level 5 with the materials I had prepared long ago based on the good information from the T&T thread. Sadly, Alicorn parts are still elusive; I have received none in the 10 weeks (70 Adventures) that the Alicorn goal has been open for me.

Good hunting to all.
