Is very disapointed i dont have double Leap Dragon... so folded two...

Really impressed. Very nice work.

They should have a dragon with every opposite lke the sandstorm (air and earth) for example a fire and plant dragon could make an ash dragon and maybe water and lightning could make an eel dragon

Tommy B's Dragon Land

Shrine Island
. Once the LYD called ilUli (on the left) was brought into captivity on Shrine Island, it was fairly easy therefore to lure her mate - Skaterboy - to come join her. Their stories, and all of Tommy B's (scant) lore regarding the extremely shy LYD can be found on a plaque at the base of the very impressive (and working) astrolabe that sits between their two habitats.



Below, we invite you to enjoy some pictures of the island. Come back soon!

Omg! I seem to have popped in here at the right moment. LOL, can you give me a mate a little bit closer to my own age? I have 2 sons who are older than this poor kid for crying out loud

The Turbo Tortoises: Leap Year Dragons as Coin Producers

With a limit of $1,000,000 and a production rate of $400/minute, Rainbows are great gold coin generators. However, there's that 48/48 breeding and hatching time to get started. With a 15.5/15.5 breeding and hatching time, the new Leap Year Dragons offer a nice alternative and are a nice complement to the Panlong gold coin production approach (the Chinese Gold Coin Factory - GGCF). Here's the math:

Assumptions & Basic Data

- You have 2 Leap Year Dragons
- No gems used to accelerate process
- 3 leveln15 Panlongs in a fully optimized Earth environment produce 411 coins/minute
- 1 Level 10 Leap Year Dragon produces 400 coins/minute *
- Optimal return from Pans requires hourly sweeps
- Optimal return from LYD's requires sweeps every 41 hours
- Level 15 Pans have the potential to produce $1,775,520 in a 24 hour period
- A level 10 LYD has the potential to produce $576,00 in a 24 hour period

Conclusion

It all depends on how frequently you sweep for coins.

Nothing currently rivals an Earth habitat with 3 fully optimized level 15 Pans (except 3 level 15+ Pans, but that's not realistic for most of us). But it requires that you sweep hourly, which is also not realistic for most of us (you would have to be recovering from major surgery or somesuch to even come close).

LYD's produce at a lower rate but it's realistic to assume that you will be able to sweep frequently enough to capture the full potential of $576,00 a day.

What we need to calculate is the crossover point: how frequently do you need to sweep for coins with Pans in order for them to out-produce Goldie's?

- Pan hourly production: $73,980/hour
- Leap Year Dragon hourly production: $24,000/hour
- $73,980/ $24,000 = 3.1 hours

So if your interval between sweeps is more than 3.1 hours, the LYD's deliver a higher payoff. They keep chugging along after the Pans hit a wall and stop. Turbo Tortoises to the Pan's Hare.

The key for me has been to observe how frequently I sweep for coins and to set a mix of Pans and rares that fits that frequency.

* That's a little bit apples and oranges compared to the higher investment required to get the Pans to level 15, but I've set it aside in order to keep things simple.

Thank you Poppy in giving us a good plan to work toward. I am pleased to say I finally have 2 South of the Border Sweat Shops. My 2 earth habitats house 3 level 15 Pans each. I hope to one day upgrade to CGCF. In addition, I have 3 ice habitats with level 14 frost and blue flying around. It's amazing how much more the ice ane earth habitats production is compared to the rare habitats. As stated it is a tortoises/hares strategy to reach gold shrines. Good luck everyone, happy breeding!

Only checking in here real quick and skimming the posts. I'm surprised it seems so difficult for some to get the clover dragon, I got my pair in 5 tries and now they are proud parents of a third. Hopefully everyone gets their couple soon, at least there should be enough time to get them without using gems. Crossing my fingers for everyone

 

[tristan97tfj]

Whats the cgcf? I tried to figure it out, it cant be the hibernation cave (hc) and its not the hatchery, so whT is it segbert!!!!?

 

[hazzarrd13]

I love the chat and tips here but on the rare occasions I use pc for the forum I notice likes on some of the postings.
Just letting everyone know if I could do it on iPhone I would but haven't found a way. I'm not being ignorant just a bit technically challenged.
:-D

I have to thank you tho, ur the one who told me about Poppy's 7 theory (hugs) . After my EBI finish with another Lava (ugh) I try my 2nd clover. Cross our finger for everybody

I did? Lol Hugs back to ya! Hope you get it! I still haven't had any luck either and looks like I am done until tomorrow. I have a 14 hr that will be done around 2 AM and one that I just started that is 12 hrs so that will be 5 AM. Crossing my fingers for you! :thumbs:
