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.

I really hope we'll get a different dark rift dragon. Now that the light rift dragon is released, I realized that BFS actually gave us hints long ago. In the Magic help section, any if the topic "how to collect magic" etc has a picture of two dragons around an egg. Take a look, the light one is sort of a caveman style of the light rift dragon. Also there's the triangle light symbol. The dark version of the dragon looks different, with the upside down triangle with a dent one side as the symbol for dark. Wish I know how to insert a picture here.

This magic event did burn me out. I'm only 10% into the last 14000 goal, but am only playing normal now. Dark is going a little slow, but don't see how I could get there, and sort of don't care either.

So we're still only chugging along at 70% Dark, allowing me to definitely reach the next upgrade even though I'm pretty much playing normally now. Also finished getting 3 of all the new light dragons and then some, so feeling a bit like all the hype and stuff was fun but the reality was a bit of a let-down.

Then again, that probably means I'm getting too spoiled!

Anyway, do you think BF will try to do anything to speed Dark up more than they already have? I see how they raised the magic cap up, but that doesn't really help if you're a) still making only as much magic as you were previously, and b) also sure that you not only still have a bit of time to make whatever upgrade you're aiming for, but also know what each upgrade will actually get you, Dark Rift Dragon arguments not withstanding.

Still, I'm pretty ready for this event to be over, so I'm hoping they do do something to speed it up! I'm ready to work on Dark dragons now!

I maxed out on dark today, as well as getting a solar eclipse before it disappeared. As a result, I am finally starting to work on light hybrids. I currently have a meadow on the way. I personally don't care whether dark comes quick or slow. I still have plenty of goals left to accomplish, so I am not bored nor am I anxious for the next big thing. :) That is one of the benefits of not "cheating". ;)

Well, we can't really "cheat" anymore in the classical sense anyway... but you will be happy to know that with the exception of the Rift dragons since there is no other way to get them, everything was gotten with light x basic dragon grind. I had every dragon already before this, so I don't have anything else to work on atm. Guess I'll maybe go for another Topaz for now to fill up my gemstone habitats.

It'd be nice to have a new long term goal like leveling dragons and turning the statues gold was until they changed it up. Getting a bunch of new dragons is always nice, but once you've gotten then its back to square one. I like to have something to look forward to.

Speaking of Statues, I wonder if we will get them once dark magic is released? And boosts too. It would be inconsistent I think not to have them.

That reminds me of something I've been curious about, actually... but when I started playing in the beginning, you couldn't level any dragon up past 10 before getting 50 dragons of that element to 10. Then you could go to 15, and you needed 50 before you could level up to 20.

Since I already had everything leveled to gold shrines when they changed the rules to allow you to level with gems, I don't know how it goes now. But I can level my Basic Light dragons past 15 no problem. Is that how it is now?

Also I figured they'd wait until the event was over to release the more "mundane" things like shrines and boosts. We also need Colosseum events for Light and Dark, and races that include them as elements as well.

^they changed the way leveling works. You don't need shrines now, it depends on your Dragonvale level. Shrines are now thropies, though I sure hope we get dark and light shrines.

Oh, okay. That's kinda too bad because I liked having to level 50 dragons to 10 just to get to 15. Seemed like a good goal to work for ;p

@scarred :) Congrats on getting all the hybrids the regular way. If I completed goals the easy way, I would have had everything, except zombie. However, like you say, having something to work for is important. I know shrines are immaterial now, although it never entered my mind to be glad that I could level my new light and rift dragons to 17. I've had all shrines gold for a while, so it hasn't been an issue. I'm glad we won't have to gild those shrines before being able to win golds in the colosseum, especially since my HC doesn't have that much room.

As for having a goal to work toward, I find goals for myself. My current goal is to raise one of each dragon to level 17. That takes plenty of time, especially with the addition of 38 new dragons. :) Maybe a goal like that would work for you too?

With a small burst of bush buying, I managed to upgrade to the giant dark habitat, and have absolutely no interest in going for the 14000/third egg upgrade. So I'm kinda done for now. Looking forward to dark getting here, and the release of some more dragons ;)

That's fine but keep sending in magic anyway. I have a feeling that's why it's slowed down so much because people aren't bothering to send in. either because they want the reward habitats to match/all the grinders/money spenders are done and/or people feel they can't get the last one so why bother. In as double weekend we only moved 1slot I think 2 at the most. I have a feeling if it makes it to Friday they'll do a triple magic weekend

Yep. That's the only thing I don't like about 2.0 It's obviously introduced so there is no grind for the Epics to level them up. That is also a shame, IMO.

Yeah, I mean, they're all already at 16 so while it would still take awhile, it wouldn't be that big of a deal. I had a ton of money at the start of this event, so I leveled up to earn magic hence why everything is already at 16. Now I've slowed down a lot, but beyond a need for everything to be even, there isn't too much incentive for leveling past 15 unless you want crowned dragons, and to be honest, I like the little light bubbles much better than the crowns!

I guess for now I'll get everything to 17 and then see if they introduce any other long-term stuff. Who knows, maybe they'll come up with something else!
