We start with 300 coins. We can collect 600 coins every 8 hours = 18300 in total (coins from quests or freebies are not included) For collecting times check this.

Who never played a maze island should check this: Maze Island explanation for beginners
Dragons:

1. Oil Point new #1027
2. Chinese #132
3. Tempera new #1028
4. Da Vinci #311
5. Gouache new #1029
6. Experimental #237
7. Aquarelle new #1030
8. Elements #237
9. Brawl new #1031
10. World Cup #913
11. Graffiti Artist #954
    The pictures show path costs and key locations with extra costs. Make sure to make a "backwards" list of the dragon you want. See what key it needs and what key the dragon needs that has that key on the path and so on. Plan proper before you start something and get nothing in the end. For example: For Gouache it would be: needs Da Vinci step 9 (540 coins), Da Vinci needs Chinese step 9 (190 coins) and Chinese needs Oil Paint step 7 (285 coins). So you have 540+190+285+8320(path for Gouache) = 9335.
    Elements, World Cup and Graffiti Artist will show up on a timelimited path and need no keys.
    Good luck.
    

Gouache is required for the Hunter collection. But there's only 4 days between the start of this island and the end of the collection, so 12 collection intervals times 600 coins, plus 300 starting, is only 7500. 1835 short, coin-buying is apparently required.

And the breeding event for Crazy, which requires Brawl, starts 4 days before the Brawl path unlocks.

Interesting choices there.

Can we get Da Vinci, Tempara and Experimental for free?

@bettina-löffler refresh my memory, do I need to add the key costs to the totals or do the totals already include the cost for the keys on the other paths?

Changed my mind. I want Tempara, Da Vinci, Gouache and whoever else I can get with them minus Chinese.

Just the new ones for me, I am debating if I will use some amazon gc funds for brawl. Was going to buy gel barrier but they never fixed the amazon app for him. I do not need hunter so there is no rush for me to finish that collection.

Also, any news on when Elements appears? I want to know whether he is 2 days so I will be fine moving today

You have to add the key costs to the total as my example shows.

Ok thanks I thought that was it but I wanted to make sure before calculating my paths.

No. That would be 22775 coins. If there is no quest or freebies thing you will be 4475 coins short.

Based on currently-available coins, that'd just be Oil Paint. After those three you have 1830 left, and Oil Paint is 460 away from completion.

If there turns out to be 870 coins available in quests/freebies before Elements' time expires, that could be an option as well.

As @Scott-Clark said I have 2 choices.

• Oil Paint- If I choose him I can guarantee him because I have the amount of coins left.
• Elements- I can’t guarantee the coin events could happen and I could get Elements and miss out on Gouache, which I don’t want to happen.

I have picked Oil Paint

Is my math correct for Aquarelle, please?

Needs Experimental step 8 (995)
NeedsGouache step 20 (4015)
Needs DaVinci to step 10 (630)
Needs Tempera step 8 (490)
Needs Chinese step 9 (190)
Needs Oil Paint to step 14 (1335)

Subtotal 7655 + Aquarelle 13780 = 21435 (3135 short to be free) ?

Thanks

I got the same result.

@bettina-löffler ... ty ty ty
( wondering whether to chance it hoping for Quests/Freebies to make up the difference ... or play it safe and calculate what to get without trying to push the envelope ... hmmm )

We have no informations if there will be a quest or something in freebies. But atm we have time to wait and see.

On previous patterns, it’s fairly likely there will be a Maze Coins Quest and coins from ads. The timing and amount are much more uncertain though.

@scott-clark ... thought we had until 01/21 to grab Gouache to fulfill the Hunter collection requirements ... ?

All I need are the eggs, correct? Or do I need to hatch them? I have the first 2 and should be eligible for the 3rd so would only need this last one.

@dragonlove The colour event runs until 21st but the Hunter collection doesn’t last that long. You can’t complete it since Gouache isn’t doable in the time limit.

There is no Elements right now but in the last Maze the limited time dragons came 4 hours later than the new day pool. I am saving in case of Elements being 1 day. I have decided to risk getting Elements since there was a 250 coins gift and a cinema event.

@_thespacebeing_ ... ty ty ty for the clarification; am gonna need to get better eye glass cleaner to see/read the fine print

Also of note - they added Vicky as an alternative to Brawl in the Crazy breed event. Definitely wasn't there when the event first showed up, so I suspect they realized the discrepancy and that was the simplest way to fix it.

Don't forget the calendar today. An extra 250 coins there.

I have gained almost enough coins to get Elements and the other ones I want, so I’ll risk it. Apparently Elements will show up on Monday and last until Wednesday.

Okay.
-Elements, Brawl, World Cup, and Graffiti Artist will be skipped (already have Elements, the others seem too expensive).
-Experimental and Aquarelle will be skipped as well.
-I believe I already have Chinese, but the 520 Coins won't help with anything beyond a Step or two, so I'll get an extra.

If I did my calculations right, Oilpaint, Chinese, Tempera, Da Vinci, and Gouache will cost 17450. That's my objective for this Island.

@arranos Pretty much word-for-word my plan, with the refinement that I’m going for Gouache first, on the off chance I can get the coins together fast enough to finish Huntress after all.

Plan A was Aquarelle (21,435) ... with a thought it might not be doable without help from Quests and Freebies; thus far have accumulated 850 extras of the 3135 that would have been short from daily collections alone ... might just make it if Freebies hold out and continues to pass some out, but ...

Plan B was Oil Paint, Tempera, Elements, and Gouache (18,005).

Currently slowly moving along Gouache path towards Experimental key for path to final Aquarelle key (Plan A) yet still holding back 2700 for Elements (Plan ... decisions, decisions, decisions ...

Disappointed we got an Orbs Quest rather than Maze Coins Quest ... but it is what it is ... for now (am still optimistic as Piston ends shortly and Orbs ends in two days ... maybe Maze Coins after that ? [Will need to re-evaluate when Elements comes available; once I go for Elements, all hope of Aquarelle will be gone.]

UPDATE ... No coins on first set of Freebies vids this morning and Elements is showing with same end time as Orbs Quest ... might be looking at Plan B this time around ...

AMAZING NEWS- Elements has eggs for Elements on the path and it only costs around 200 Maze coins. Amazing!

I wonder whether this’ll happen with Brawl, World Cup and Graffiti Artist. Unlikely but possible.

Yes unlikely but that would be cool, even if it is only orbs, getting 80 without having to walk the full path would be great.

Can I ask, why should i travel along the elements path beyond the first element egg? Is there a benefit to collecting the other eggs and orbs?
And is the whole path really just 2700 tokens?

If you want to empower him, if not I see no value in it. And honestly I see no value in empowering him. He is pretty good for baby cities but not for more advanced ones. And if they offer a rare arena season, I am still not sure he would be worth it to empower and feed.

@susan-mclaughlin The numbers are correct.

Fyi if you walk the full Elements path you will get 120 orbs and 4 eggs.

Thanks. I don't think it's possible to empower it to 2 stars with what's offered here, and I won't waste the food to do it anyway. I got the first egg, I'll stop there and go on with gouache again.

I stopped in egg 1

RATS!!!
Am almost finished with Gouache and NOW I realized in using only 245 coins for Elements that I would have had enough to get Aquarelle had I re-evaluated before continuing past Experimental key on Gouache path (18,300min + 1000xtra from Freebies + 2455 saved on Elements = 21,755; needed only 21,435 for Aquarelle)
RATS!!!

I need a better Thinking Cap

Breaking news - the Hunter collection is still active! I got Gouache in the current collection interval (the first you could for free) and received Hunter, despite the game no longer showing that collection as an event.

Did you breed Banana? I was hoping having an old one in storage would count but no such luck. Good thing I really didn't need Hunter but I did want an extra.

@nynaevelan Yes, I did breed Banana. All four of this collection’s dragons were new to me.

Surprisingly I received Hunter this morning, all were new to me except for Banana, I hatched one which I had in storags.

Same here. Got the Hunter. Had banana already, never re-bred it or hatched it even. It was already there on my islands.

Me, too! Me, too!! Just got Hunter this afternoon
Had bred Banana during the breed event.
Wonder if having all the other dragons and just starting the Gouache Path was enough to be eligible for Hunter ?

You mean if you started the path before the collection expired, then finished it at any point before the event ended, you'd get Hunter? That would be a seriously weird criterion. I think it's a lot more likely that the actual expiration date of the collection was set later than was stated in-game - potentially by mistake, since the earlier date was in multiple places (in the graphic of the collection, and in the timer for the collection event showing up in the news).

@scott-clark

Oooh I am gonna NOT tell my BF this as he spent real money to get coins to get the Hunter dragon because he thought it would expire as stated on the splash ad and will be LIVID if he finds out hew spent money in vain. Congrats on your dragon though! I wish I had been able to get the Banana during the breeding event.

@scott-clark ... you may very well be correct about an error/mistake for the end date ... however it happened, I appreciate the mistake

So, I missed a Collection a few days ago.
From what I calculated, I can still get Gouache and Da Vinci. Can't miss another collection, or else I'm done for.

GUYS! There's a Gouache skin in the diamond chest at the end of the Graffiti path! Why did no one know about this until now?? I don't have enough to get anywhere near it, but wanted to post for you all to check out!

Because it's just a Skin.
I don't think many people care about Skins.
