I thought that it would be nicer to have a separate topic about magic. So here you can discuss about everything you want as long as it is about magic ![]() Below I will include what we know about collecting magic and some strategy ideas. We will include more info as we discover it and have time to include it. ![]() Hiding info so we don't have to scroll as much while still being able to access the info. Spoiler: click to toggle [R4E]Adding magic info[/R4E]

I also got a pop up saying that once it's released all magic towards it will stop. I have about 10000 left for the final prize with double points this weekend you think it's worth going for it? Trying to figure out if it will accelerate because everyone's going for it or stay steady/slow down because there's a lot of people who will be close to/have the final reward |

Man, I thought I would be able to get enough magic to at least finish my current 7200 upgrade. I've committed 5038 magic so far but it's looking like I won't make it unless I spend money. The light stuff has progressed several steps just today alone. I actually wanted the dark stuff. I'm dumb and should have just ignored light and gone for dark. It's gone way too fast for me. I probably won't be able to complete dark now at the rate this is going, cause once light is done, everyone will be on dark. Edited by Sylvandyr, Nov 1 2013, 03:26 PM.

Wow! When they did the double magic last weekend, I thought they were trying to get this stuff moving and now I think they want it to be done! I am guessing that they had planned for this to culminate around Halloween. So they have to push us along. Well I have at least 2 eggs in the Light habitat. I will never get to the next level so I'm sticking with Dark so I can get the 2nd egg there. |

Still hoping to get the last two dark ones... not bothering with the last light one because I won't be able to make it anyway. |

Well my strategy worked, but now I hit the limit for the day for the first time during the event. I've got 1000 left on the Giant upgrade for the light and 17 hours to wait for the reset. I think I'll be okay, but I'm a little worried about the light chevrons finishing before then. What do you guys think, am I okay or gonna miss out? |

I am sure you are safe. I don't think light will finish before Sunday. |

I agree with everyone and Backflip wants this event over. Looking at the math, they probably think that at least one dragon should have been released by now. Update went out on Oct 9th. Assuming that the player bought the first upgrade, a grand total of 36,799 magic is needed per side. A player maxing out their magic generation (3000) works out to slightly over 12 days to fully complete one side, so around Oct 21st. Then if that player repeated that for the second dragon, that puts the other dragon finished around Nov 2nd. Throw in Double Magic Weekends and that moves all the time tables up. The fact that they haven't released the first dragon makes me wonder if they aren't seeing the response to this that they would have liked. |

I've gotten the two egg update in Light, and am about 2000 away from the same update in Dark. I wish I could go for the 9999 light, but I'm pretty sure there is no way I'll make that, so I guess once I finish dark I'll just play normally and not bother anymore with upgrades. Once we get Light, everyone will be going for Dark, so it will hopefully be pretty quick at that point, and I want to keep my habitats even. Too bad though... I like the look of the 9999 upgraded habitats the best! |

The FAQ says magic will disappear from our parks after this event. No doubt they'll bring it back for the next thing. |

But the release of each element is tied to the magic earned by all players, of which about 1.1 million are playing each week. 30 000 000 000 magic required to release an element. 40 000 possible earned by each player. 750 000 players need to max rewards of 1+ million or so that are playing each week. With 60 billion needed, a million players and a max of 3000 magic per day the absolute fastest everything could be released is 20 days. Considering the average earnings for players will be half that, 40 days was probably the original time line they had worked out, with approx 30 days for the winner, and then another 10 for the runner up. We're still quite a ways short of that. |

The Leap Year Dragon was released for a handful of days at the end of February last year. There are a lot more people that didn't get that dragon because of the short breeding window then in this comp, and it wasn't going to return for 4 years, essentially meaning players then would miss out. Breeding non stop, speeding up fails, etc, people still missed out. This whole comp is handled way better than that situation. To suggest that not knowing here what is happening with the 3rd Rift Egg is different to people not knowing if the next breeding attempt would result in a LYD is false. And since then we have learned that dragons come back in limited events, so to suggest that people might miss out on something exclusive here is also not born out by past experience. To not want them to do another event because of what they might do is worrying for nothing. It's trying to diminish future possibilities because of unfounded concerns. |

The mood amongst the long term players was one of boredom. They were collecting the dragons released out of habit but there was nothing new in the game. There was a lot of talk that BFS were focused on the new players, and they had given up worrying about new goals for the old timers. Just releasing two new elements, like they did with Metal, would have been evidence of exactly that. Instead, the put a butt load of work into creating a spectacular event to engage the whole player base. This has been nothing but great for the game. |

On Thursday, October 24th, BFS changed the max magic per day to 4000. It has remained at that level ever since. Emails from customer service last week claim that the level is 3000 and was raised to 6000 for the first double magic weekend. However, this is incorrect. Trust me bush farmers and other knowledge people know that the maxperday is 4000. |

Anyone else having difficulties with Treasure Chests? For the last 6 hours, at least, treasure chests and breeding Hearts are not disappearing when tapped, although collection totals and magic accumulation proceed as usual. Is this a pre-crash warning or a harmless glitch? Loading is s l o w e r, too. |

You could buy a leap year dragon directly with gems (at least, you could during the christmas special; I wasn't around for the first time they were released). I wasn't talking about speeding up fails with real money, I was saying that when players know exactly when a dragon will suddenly be unavailable, they can simply buy the dragon directly rather than missing out forever. Therefore, previously players have always had the information they needed to decide whether to spend real money on the game. So unless Leap Year Dragons were not available to buy in the market during their original run, then I never suggested that "not knowing here what is happening with the 3rd Rift Egg is different to people not knowing if the next breeding attempt would result in a LYD."
