Raven, the way the upgrade with gems works is it will cost one gem for each dragon not at level 15. So if you have 46 dragons at level 15, you will pay 4 gems to make the shrine gold. I did it for one shrine because I was a couple dragons short and all my other shrines will be gold once I get the dragons I already have to 15 will be gold. I figured it was cheaper in the long run to spend the 4 gems for that one shrine than breed 4 dragons I don't need and raise them to level 15.

Yaneya, like Raven mentioned, if you already spent gems to make your shrines gold; then, there's no reason to raise 50 dragons to get there. Although if you haven't spent the gems yet and gems are in short supply you might want to breed 2 of most of the dragons (more than that for some of the others like panlong if you have a pair already) to get yourself closer to your gold and save some gems.

Raven - yes they all can go over 10th level. I just do not have food to feed them

Leilani - I hope u will be better soon. I know how hard it is - my mother-in-law had a surgery done on her back last year. Poor thing cannot sit for a long time now.

I'm slowly getting coin for the new island - 270 mil to go! it's sure going to be hard to tap that icon to buy it!
Have you noticed all the other islands are just a wee but bigger! I've been moving things out to the "new" edge -

[Raven]

Hmmm -
There seems to be a new dragon - but possibly a glitch with it as peeps are having trouble hatching it - if they display it - it is invisible!

Called Terridium - 24 hrs
One confirmed combo is Air+Mud

[leilani]

Hmmm, wonder if that is the elusive invisible dragon people talk about from time to time. I didn't notice the islands were a little bigger, thanks for pointing it out. Now I can do a little redecorating and see if I can't get my egg island to look a little prettier. It's sooooo crowded. Actually, I'm tempted to sell off most of my eggs (not my gems or epics) to get money to buy the new island. I just know if I do that I'll be cursing myself over the weeks that it will take to breed for all those eggs again.

Thank you Yaneya, it's getting better. I had one set of injections almost 2 weeks ago and I go next week to find out when I can have the second set. Fingers crossed, that will do the trick and I won't have to get anything else done.

[Raven]

I did try for the elusive dragon last night but just got a fail -

Good Karma coming your way for your back Lellani!

[mcphilp]

Checked the Sandbox and it actually says (currently glitched). And air and mud is combo there.

[leilani]

Thank you Raven!

DV community is saying that a more appropriate name might be the "Bug" dragon. What I don't understand they are saying many of the forum members have bred one, but no one has seen one.......how can that be?

So what the heck does that mean? Is it a dragon that you can't see?

Raven- you need to go spy on the forum!! LOL

[Raven]

Lol Ams - heading there next to see if anything new!!!! Still no luck myself - another fail - and it's interfering with my money making efforts for the new island!!!! Lol

[Raven]

So the new dragon available till April 25th - the egg is showing up now -
But lots of report on glitchy behaviour not only with dragon but appearance of islands etc
Here is egg pic -

It is nice to have a challenge in DV again besides the incessant attempts to keep up with new dragons. I used to keep a balance of $50,000,000 and am now up to $233,000,000 on my way to Island 8.

I had forgotten how to earn XP since I was at the old max of level 40 for so long. I have run a number of races and get irritated when I win feed. I have decided to work on hatching dragons to meet the new goals. I usually have 2 of the goal dragons already, so it's just a matter of waiting for them to hatch. I don't spend real money on gems for this. I'm about halfway to level 41.

I'm still working on my 2nd Diamond to get the egg.

[leilani]

Judy, I'm leveling up the same way by hatching dragons for the goals. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of selling a couple instead of hatching them first so I didn't get the goals. I think until I have them all, I'll just hatch everything and then sell it so I don't make that mistake again.

[mcphilp]

Thanks for the tips! I didn't realize I was missing out on XP by just selling and not hatching first.

Thanks for the pic Raven!

[Raven]

Sheesh ! Me too - thanks - I think I forgot about the hatching and xp!!!! Lol

Edit: earth + fog getting new dragon as well

[judyreno]

When hatching for the XP, you don't have to make a space in a habitat. I've been hatching mine to the Hibernation cave. Soon, I will go in and sell them.

[Raven]

Thanks Judy! I was going to do it the hard way! You just saved me so much time and effort

[kechibam]

So I got my 8th island, but get this...it takes 1 mil to clear the extra large tree and 10 mil to clear the extra large boulder! It's going to take 48 hrs (tree) and 96 hrs (boulder) to clear them . I counted 17 large trees and 5 large boulders on my island. That's another 67 mil down the drain.

Conclusion: u will need roughly 570 mil to summon the island and clear it

As for xp's, there's no need to hatch the egg to get it. U get the xp's when u sell the egg. U do, however, need to hatch the egg to clear ur goals.

[Amstel Bear Hugs]

So I got the new dragon. Debating if I should just keep the egg and try for another. I seem to get the new dragons right away and then have no luck on the 2nd one. Kicking myself for not keeping the egg for diamond. I am using 2 level 18 dragons and having no luck getting the 2nd.

As far as the cost of the new island and cost to clear- Really? I guess that is their way to keep us busy. I have dumped so much money feeding the dragons so I "only" have @ 300 million.

[mcphilp]

I may follow your lead if I ever get one. I think I might be sadder to not have the egg than the dragon. The egg looks cool.
