Trust me, as stated in the updates section, they are HARD to get through. Hopefully since there are many more dragons to choose from they will be much more manageable.

I guess if you were aiming for the top spot you would need the gems. But me personally I am only aiming to complete it within the time frame with as little cost as possible, that top spot is just for the big spenders and hackers, of which I am neither.

Post count: 391Reputation: 149Joined:This is just a preliminary impression, but it looks to me like keys are likely to be the limiting factor rather than the battles. People will probably be well served to calculate how many coins they can sink into Graffiti Artist without sacrificing their Color Splash goals, since for the next two days that's the only source of keys beyond the starting 3 and what you can pick up on the Rescue paths themselves, aka the only option to proceed if you find yourself blocked behind doors on all three paths. (Tap on the keys icons and you get a popup saying that they'll be available in videos and a quest from the 19th through the 22nd.)
Personally it looks like I can get 3 of his chests, plus another 3 for $2 if that seems worthwhile. I'd be giving up Chinese, but that's a dupe for me anyway.
Haven't yet had a chance to find out if you can substitute gems for keys, but whether or not you can may make a big difference.
Update: No, you can't buy keys with gems. And the second Easy door costs 5 green, while the first Medium door costs 8 green, 2 red, and the first Hard is 1 blue. Those chests better contain a LOT of keys each.

Post count: 64Reputation: 19Joined:Now that I have updated (lol) my first thought of this event is to wonder if rescuing Furfur? - the medium level dragon - without spending is possible and possibly if even rescuing the easy dragon, Bookday, is doable. Seeing that the chests show low numbers of key rewards in the couple I clicked on, I wonder how realistic one should be in thinking they can even honestly obtain one of these dragons... without spending... I personally would really love to get Furfur with some hard work and effort if that is doable... the feeling I have right now is that I wonât be able to get any, knowing Glint of course is out...

Post count: 11359Reputation: 6960Joined:Location: New Jersey, USAWhelp I have tried out the dragon rescue and to be honest strategies and tips no longer matter to me because I do not care for this feature........AT ALL and here is why.
- I do not like that it does not remember your team, all dragons who were not defeated should be available for future fights.
- This is nothing but a money grab, it is requiring too many keys. You will have to sink money into it either by sacrificing your plans on the Color Splash event or by promos, which i am sure will cone up soon.
I thought having enough of the right dragons leveled up was going to be the deterrent, boy was I wrong. I do not see myself doing this one or any others unless they make some major changes. I had a few other reasons but I am so steamed my mind went blank.... I honestly cannot think of one positive thing I like about this feature. Compared to this I was wrong, the ML survival dungeons are much more preferable, the team has shanked us again!!

Thoughts from more experienced/long-term players?
Looking more closely at the graphic that pops up when you tap the key counts, the Graffiti Artist chests are the only source of red/green keys. The quest and freebies will provide gold keys. And the blue keys come from the Rescue paths themselves. Plus I can't imagine that the EARLY Graffiti Artist chests will provide an interesting fraction of the keys needed, since then the rest of his path would be pointless.
IOW it appears that the way one would have needed to approach this event in order to progress well for free would have been to save up the majority of your Maze Coins for Graffiti Artist, writing off most of the other Color Splash dragons. When we were given the Hunter collection to urge us to rush Gouache (which cost most of the available coins) and the tradeoff was completely hidden from us until most of the way through Color Splash.
Unless you've been saving up for Graffiti Artist, you're going to have to buy Maze Coins for cash. And I'm going to guess that the cooldowns on the quest for gold keys will be MUCH longer than the duration of the quest itself, so that you have to spend piles of gems to get those. That may end up being the ultimate limiting factor on how far even a player who DID save all of their Maze Coins, and has a strong/deep enough pool of fighting dragons to push quickly through the fights, can progress for free.
Possibly Bookday will be doable with a relatively small number of Graffiti chests, but looking at just the first Medium door, I can't imagine you could possibly get Furfur without essentially completing the Graffiti path. Since I can't yet see where gold keys are required, I can't project where the required gem spending will kick in.
The winner of the contest is clearly going to be someone who buys/saved enough coins to finish Graffiti before the quest comes on line, then spends hundreds of gems to finish that quest in a matter of minutes. Depending on the strength of their dragon lineup vs. how hard the battles get, they might also have to spend another pile of gems refreshing their best dragons for the fights (I assume that's possible, didn't think to check before I got stopped for keys on all three paths).

Post count: 64Reputation: 19Joined:Thanks. Your information supports the vibe I had, and have.
Iâm not surprised that it looks to be almost impossible to obtain even perhaps the lowest level dragon as it seems this is just another rung on the ladder of taking away the worth or importance of hard work, actual strategy, and/or effort in progress in a general sense in this game... those just donât seem to play as much of a role in the game as they did even a few months ago, to me.
This event seems like a gigantic waste of my time if the keys look to be so difficult to obtain. Not sure Iâll even bother... and itâs not like Iâm even losong precious time in waiting to think about it as I have no keys and I will not be getting any as I personally am not a fan of the Graffiti Artist and had already totally completed the Gouache path.
And your assessment of how SP set up the collection with regards to the Hunter Collection seems to me to be right on: a deliberate move, and, as such, an unethical one as well.

Post count: 391Reputation: 149Joined:@nynaevelan I doubt they're random. The blue key chests aren't. And since those chests are the ONLY source of red/green keys, making them random would have required SP to either (a) make the average number of chests needed to complete the Rescue be substantially less than the number available, so that even with bad rolls completing the path would still be enough or (b) have some people completely unable to progress in the event purely because of bad luck.
Assuming that they are indeed fixed (I'll be able to check the first one during the next collection interval), the first two chests will be enough for the second Easy door, with 2g1r left over.
If the total R/G key numbers per door don't scale up at all (probably not true) and the R:G ratio lines up perfectly (could be true) it'd take the next four (so six total) to get to Bookaday. Likely the costs WILL scale up, but there's some chance they would only do so by adding gold keys, I suppose.
Hopefully somebody will be able to reveal door costs at some point so that informed decisions can be made.

Also, in regards the golden keys: they will be available in Quest (Jan 19-22) and also in the Dragon Cinema (Jan 19-22). So, in case we cannot reach the last keys in the Quest, we can always try out luck watching some video ads and get a few golden keys.
Once again, please keep sharing your feedback, hints and tips with the community!
Have a great day and see you back on the islands.

Post count: 11359Reputation: 6960Joined:Location: New Jersey, USAI am in the process of doing it in airplane mode so that I can fully map out a strategy and whether it is worth changing my Color Splash goals.
I had an issue with the way dragons were used up but I was given a very good tip. I was told to pick one good fighter and let the others be weaker in order not to waste dragons. So far this works much better for me.
Unfortunately I did not write down the costs of the doors so I am not sure if my current notes are for door #2 or higher but so far on the easy path
Easy Path (I am on node 11 now so far I have for the previous 3 doors - 5 green - 8 red - 3 yellow (this is the next door where I am)
Medium Path (starting from node 4 the costs are: 8 green and 2 red
Hard (i am on node 2, I think this is the first door) - 1 blue needed (not opened yet)
Hope this helps you all plan a little better.

Thanks for sharing this tips with the community!
Anyone else doing that? Picking a good fighter (remember to take into account the firsts elements of all the opponents) and choosing weaker dragons to complete the team.
Also, don't forget that, if defeated, the opponents will be weaker the next time we fight them!

Thanks! Comparing against my current state, I can confirm that the 5 green is indeed door #2. Door #1 was 1 green from the starting 2g1r.
Combining with your previous information, we can conclude that the first 7 Graffiti chests would get one to the 3y door, with 5g2r left over. Then there's one more door behind that with a currently-unknown cost.
Which for me personally means that I have to write off Tempera in order to have a shot at Bookaday without spending more than I'm prepared to. A VR for a VR plus more experience with this new event type... I might do that.
Also, take a look at the Orbs Shop - Equinox, Dolphin, Chainmail, and Deep Sea are specials for the next two days. Could this perhaps mean that they'll be required for the yellow key quest? Seems awfully random otherwise.

Post count: 64Reputation: 19Joined:Well, I decided to complete the battles up until the first locked door for Bookday. This way, my dragons can all cool down while I assess the general situation.
There isnât much to assess, though, as I have one green key and to unlock the door requires five green keys. As mentioned above, I donât like the Graffiti Artist dragon and prefer to use my coins to progress along another path; it therefore seems then that I have nothing to do in this new event for the next two days, as I believe Scott Clark mentioned above in a discussion. Of course, I suppose I could bang out the few battles up to be first door for Furfur and then just continue to sit around... and sitting around will amount to about half the eventâs duration. Think about that. That encourages participation?
It seems a bit ridiculous to only make keys available for half the event on one dragonâs path which many people either wonât progress along due to not liking said dragon and preferring others, such as myself, or wonât progress due to literally not having many coins left... I suppose if it means I must simply choose which event to play, that is what I will do. However to launch a new event within that construct seems odd and frankly puzzling.
To find something relatively positive about the event, I do enjoy thus far the 6 v 6 setup, both in choosing my teams and also watching the fights take place. Then again, choosing teams is strategy. And that doesnât really mean anything when Iâm on the sidelines waiting for more key opportunities to present themselves so I can continue to have chances to participate.
Finally, just a little tip I can provide... Something I found that worked well was choosing a dragon with the ancient world elements as a team member; no, they canât critical anyone but they also canât be criticalâd back so they can possibly give another hit or two.

Actually if you don't spend coins on Graffiti Artist, you won't get any further at all - as discussed later than that comment, his chests are the ONLY place to get red/green keys. The next two days is what it will take in order for YELLOW keys to become available.

Dragon Rescue Tips and Discussions - Closed 9/9/19
Post count: 64Reputation: 19Joined:Yikes! I didnât catch that!
What youâre saying is that the only way, then, to move past the measly first or even second doors for Bookday is to move along the Graffiti Artist path and that for the entire duration of this event no other sources for the green or red keys will be available?
So, I would be done for the entire event instead of just waiting for those new key opportunities I was hoping would present themselves in a couple days?
I really hope thatâs not the case because it frankly seems idiotic to structure a new event launch where the most basic level of participation is predicated on a single dragonâs path in an entirely separate event, and a path which many people will not even engage...

Post count: 11359Reputation: 6960Joined:Location: New Jersey, USAAs much as I did not want to sacrifice my CS goals I decided to just skip my goal and use my coins to obtain the red and green keys from the GA path. as scott stated I want to gain some experience in the DR to see what it is all about. So I took myself out of airplane mode. So far I am stuck on the Easy path on node #11 waiting on 3 yellow keys and node #15 waiting on 15 green keys. I am currently seeing how far I can get on the Hard path before I run out of keys for this one or Medium path.

I can't go any further now without yellow keys, so that means waiting 2 days, got to easy 10, medium 6 and hard 7
I am now stuck also, I made it through Easy #10, Medium #17 and Hard #7. At this point I am waiting on 4 red and 19 yellow keys. I only have two more doors for the Easy and Medium paths. I could probably knock 6 yellow keys off of my list because it is still debatable whether I will or can go farther on the Hard path, that one still has 6 more doors to open. At this point I am only aiming to finish the Medium path for Furfur and get that last key chest on the Easy path.

Post count: 11359Reputation: 6960Joined:Location: New Jersey, USAThis had the potential to be very interesting, but they put goo many doors and restrictions on it. AT most each path should not have had more than 3 doors on it. And the keys for them should not have been in another event. I hope they get this info and improve the next one. Hats off to that person who gets the top spot. I think not onlybshpuld they get the advertised winnings but also a trophy for the most gullible person in the world award [insert sarcasm here].
Edit: oh I forgot to mention. To release a 4 day event but cripple it with a 2 day wait was just foul. That alone will ensure that many players will not participate or progress in it.

Post count: 391Reputation: 149Joined:I agree with the cross-event complaint, and the ridiculous wait, but the number of doors could work if the acquisition of the keys were better balanced. Really, it depends on whether they want to make it more about the fights (fewer doors) or working out how to balance the keys (more doors). Either could work if done well.
This was not done well.

Red and green keys are in the Color Splash Maze (Graffity Arts path). Blue keys are on the easy and middle path. Yellow keys we can get from 19 - 22 Jan from a quest and from freebies videos.

I'm already gathering all your feedback and, at the end of it, I'll share it with the team.In regards the golden keys, tomorrow we will have them available in a Quest, video ads and also there will be some offers available. In the meantime, let's try to advance as much as we can until we get blocked by these keys.
All along the path, besides using lots of our Dragons (which I'm personally loving!Seeing many of them in battle for the first time
), we'll be finding little rewards as well.
Remember the green & red keys we can get from the Graffiti Artist Dragon (temporary path!):

I'm kind of bummed that I'm going to have to miss out on Color Splash dragons (like Da Vinci) to see more of the Rescue event, but I think I'm going to keep doing that (moving down the Graffiti Dragon path) because I want to see more of the new event and I've been enjoying it except for the fact that I have to essentially miss out on other content (Color Splash island) to get the keys.
Hope this helps!

In case it's useful, I found the following key values for the doors by inspecting internet traffic sent to Dragon City when I logged on. Take them with a grain of salt since I have only seen about the first half in-game so far, but I believe this to be accurate.
Key Requirements
Easy- 1 Green
- 5 Green
- 8 Red
- 3 Yellow
- 7 Yellow
Medium
- 8 Green, 2 Red
- 4 Red, 2 Blue
- 8 Green, 2 Red
- 15 Green
- 4 Red, 10 Yellow
- 30 Green, 25 Red
Hard
- 1 Blue
- 1 Red, 3 Blue
- 6 Yellow
- 4 Green, 2 Blue
- 8 Yellow
- 16 Green, 5 Red
- 8 Green, 3 Blue
- 10 Yellow
I'm kind of bummed that I'm going to have to miss out on Color Splash dragons (like Da Vinci) to see more of the Rescue event, but I think I'm going to keep doing that (moving down the Graffiti Dragon path) because I want to see more of the new event and I've been enjoying it except for the fact that I have to essentially miss out on other content (Color Splash island) to get the keys.
Hope this helps!
Thanks this is very helpful, they sure better be giving those yellow keys out frequently in freebies and the questm though i am thinking i will not be going very far on the hard path.
Fyi for those who have not moved yet, you may be able to skip the last 2 key chests, they might be extras. I am currently 3 blue keys short so I hope they are in the chests that I did not get to yet.
I am a collector not a fighter, need I say more? Oh yeah....and female. ;)

Post count: 865Reputation: 408Joined:Location: United KingdomI am enjoying this new event. So far I am halfway on Easy and Medium, but Hard is you know... Too Hard (Yep, Iâm a noob so my best dragon tops level 25 so Iâm dead meat against level 40âs). I was hoping for easy Legend Joker Orbs to summon Dragem and thus get Egg Hunter but that seems very unlikely.

I had an issue with the way dragons were used up but I was given a very good tip. I was told to pick one good fighter and let the others be weaker in order not to waste dragons. So far this works much better for me.
I tried this. IMX it is an utterly horrible and completely unworkable strategy. The enemy will focus down your strong fighter, while ignoring the weaker ones. AND they get six shots at it for each shot it gets to take back. So unless that one is so strong they can solo the whole thing (only possible on the earlier rounds) it doesn't work at all. You need a more uniform power level so they can't take out your entire strength quickly.
OTOH sending in swarm after swarm of wimps works out just fine.
And when doing one of the fights with a big central enemy, always focus that one. The way the rounds work, taking out their support first just gives the big guy more attacks. Having those supports makes the big one WEAKER.

They are only on the path of Graffiti Arts.

Post count: 645Reputation: 381Joined:Location: Xavier's school for gifted youngstersI liked the format of the new event, but not the way it was released.
- There are many restrictions. In addition to an infinite number of keys, you also need the wait a cool down for all dragons. It would make more sense if only the defeated dragons needed to rest (like in arenas).
- I don't like AI playing for me. I always choose a team that gives critical attacks on the enemy, but the AI sometimes selects a target that has no weaknesses to my dragon or selects the strongest attack, but not the most effective (often happens with my legendary element dragons, AI selects the Legendary attack because it is stronger instead of selecting the attack that would make a critical hit).
- The rewards are so bad, really. We need to open so many gates to get some gold, food, more keys and a very limited amount of orbs. It would be good to increase the number of rewards per fight or withdraw the rewards of gold / food. We already have it in freebies and in the arenas. As joker orbs can only be achieved by this event, I expected a larger amount as reward.
I finished the easy path, my only target was bookday, I'm waiting for this dragon for so long.
The medium path i'm just ignoring because as stated before, the rewards are really bad.
My next target is to complete the fight #16 in hard path to win some joker L orbs. -

Post count: 629Reputation: 447Joined:yep this is a very big disappointment, just too long drawn out, lose the keys or make easier and don't use other events to drive it and for once in your life make an event possible to win without spending, like most other top games are.

Post count: 34Reputation: 5Joined:I did the first easy part, but the 2nd part requires 5 green keys. Yeah I'm not gonna bother with it since its only on the time limited graffiti artist, which I will never have enough time to actually get the dragon. I'd rather get my guache dragon since that is now guaranteed for me since I'm near the end of the path.
It seems without the keys its impossible to progress, so I guess this mode is now pointless for me, oh well. -

Post count: 11359Reputation: 6960Joined:Location: New Jersey, USAI sacrificed my Aquarelle to go for this crappy event. Received enough yellow keys to finish the easy and medium paths. At the rate the freebies and quest is giving out keys I doubt ii will get enough to finish the hard path.
Based on the exclusive pack for red and green keys, I am guessing SP will release an exclusive pack for yellow keys also. This was NOT designed for the community, it was designed for the high payers. So Mr. First, I happily concede it to you......I am sorry I have given up my Aquarelle for Furfur.
This had such potential and i do not plan on participating in any further dragon rescues unless they make some DRASTIC improvements.
