Wow! Miss a day or two around here and all hell breaks loose! Miss a hundred or so pages of discussion, an update, a chance to breed the first Bloom Dragon, and who knows what else!!!
Anyway, Fletch, I would still like to get my brain wrapped around this shrine grind thing! So if you don't mind continuing with the discussion I'd appreciate the help!
36 hours is closer to the actual turn around, because you'll be hatching whilst breeding the next two. And I believe $8.25 million is the additional you can earn, taking away the 14 hours needed to breed Mud and Blazing. Please check that math.
If we assume I can collect coins and rotate breeding and hatching every 4 hours beginning at 7 AM and ending at 11 PM daily. I came up with $18M from breeding Mags in 36 hours if I use both breeding facilities overnight for a blazing & a mud. With a Pan in one facility and mags in the other the earning would be $10.5M under the same scenario. (This assumes all breeding facilities and hatcheries are empty at 7AM on day one.)
4 Earth Habitats at 75K collected 6 times a day will earn $2.1 million in the 36 hours a Panlong breeds for. Can I please check your math on how you earn $45 million in 36 hours total, for the park? This is obviously the crux of it, and I know people do, but they are clearing very regularly and/or spending gems to speed up breeding.
Please check my math. I wish daily for someone to check my math, and not just on Dragonvale! (I've been working on my taxes also - any volunteers for that math checking job? Lol)
Here is what the numbers are based on:
Again assuming the 7AM - 11 PM every 4 hour scenario:
Non-rare habitats - 4 metal(level 11-15 mags), 4 earth (2-3 level 15 pans), 1 fire, 1 water, 1 cold, 1 air, 1 lightening - the two 7AM visits each net $900K and the other 7 visits each net $650K - 36 hour total $6,350,000
I have 10 LYD & Rainbow habitats - 36 hour net $8,640,000
I have 2 Sun & 3 Moon habitats - 36 hour net $2,808,000
Total for habitats $17,798,000 + $18,000,000 Mags = $35,798,000
Or Habs $17,798,000 + $10,500,000 Pans = $28,298,000
The $45M number included $24M from breeding mags (I had originally assumed the breeding facilities and hatcheries were full at start) and an additional $3M for the rares as I usually collect them on a 24 hour schedule so they were contributing 12 hours additional income originally.
Hope that all makes sense.
I can, and may, get rid of some of the lower earning habitats. I just like to keep one of each on hand - although I make exceptions from time to time for plant.) I just need to justify the rebuild times first and I haven't quite committed to the gold shrines yet. Hence, all the ciphering . . . .
I haven't had a chance to read the last 100 pages or so of posts, but I suspect Bloom has changed the scope of the shrine grind also. Hopefully there is a really easy, quick way to do this now and I can quit ciphering and just do it!
I will try to catch up and see what the latest info is, but wanted to get back to you. Thanks.:thumbs:
