Was the key supposed to be awarded with the breeding of one of the special monsters or will it be awarded at the end when the dungeon opens? I couldn't tell from the event description and I've never managed to score one of the monsters in this kind of event before.

@Tracey-Mill-Toms the event is the same ase the previous events if you breed one of the tree displayed monsters you get the key if the monster is in hatchery before the breeding event ends. If this is the case you get the key in a couple of hours after the breeding event is ended.
To be sure your untitled to the key make a ss of your breeding log and a ss of the egg in hatchery before ending of event.

@Tracey-Mill-Toms Congratulations, which monster did you get? The key should be in your storage on Friday I believe.

Griffin was the one I got. I haven't used him in a awhile, but this one will probably mean I can rank the other one up. Thanks for the info on when the key would be given.

Does anyone else have the breeding problem of never getting what's promised after breeding half a dozen times 5th one I've done with nothing promoised from breeding.

Yes and it was not promised....it was just offered to be possible, there is no guarantee you will actually be successful. Hence why most do not bother with breeding events, they are almost impossible to obtain. And yet I still try. Ugh!!

@Joel-Eugene-Gensbugel Oh boy how many gems I have wasted for those breeding events ^^ Now, the current trend with breeding event that awards the key for the survival dungeon, is kinda tricky. Don't forget that most probably (assuming from the last two similar events) the dungeon WON'T award enough cells to craft Storm Beard. The 5,49€ chest that is offered right after the breeding event ends, has the key AND 50 cells. So if you plan to buy gems to speed up those breedings/hatches JUST to get Storm Beard, you should probably buy the two chests (guaranteed 100 cells) straight from the shop.

Good tip, I might just take your advice on this one!!

Oh yeah. Essentially if you want him you'll have to spend the 5+ euros no matter what. And since the last survival dungeon was rather easy, I figure it's the difference between 100 cells and 150 cells. IMO borderline deceiving players, because the event description certainly suggests that a player successful in breeding can acquire the monster via the dungeon.

Again, I don't mind SP asking us to fork over money. (And I'm happy with the event, I got ROFL and another legendary breeding for a modest investment of maybe 30-40 gems, after getting nothing in several other breeding events. Even though ROFL is only a cash cow.)

But I do mind those cheesy tactics. I really do. Why not give an accurate description? Why sell us for stupid?

@Frunobulax I agree with you in all points. However, the description doesn't clearly state that you will actually get the monster. It says you will get cells for the new monster but it doesn't state how many ^^

The thing is, the event somewhat devalues that chest. If I wasn't successful in breeding, those 5+ euros buy me one monster. But I was, now that money buys me just 50 cells, and I think I'll just hang back and hope that I can acquire 30 more cells through trading, monsterwood or whatever, even if it takes a few months.

Not sure if that is what Socialpoint intended

@Frunobulax I would say the chest devalues the breeding event, since you get the key and the cells Whatever suits best for you fella! I myself was lucky too with breedings, but I may get that chest as well for the rest cells cuz Storm Beard looks interesting monster.
