I am shocked by the generosity of the new Space Base Maze. A few steps down the Spaceship Path and I get 50 Football Dragon Orbs. If I get 50 more in the next Very Rare Orbs chest, I can summon him.

I got the same.

Since it looks like all the paths but Mars will be time-limited, this may be a case where what you can get is more constrained by "can you get that many coins IN TIME" than "can you get that many coins over the course of the event." Getting some later dragons may involve abstaining from spending on early dragons, then having a bunch of coins left over afterwards because all the other paths have expired. Definitely seems like Mars should be advanced LAST.

And I can definitely see a potential need to speed up end-of-path fights with gems before said paths expire.

There is Mad Scientist, Kooky, Space Knight and Space Pirate to come. I have wanted Kooky for some time now.

Well good I can stop trying to breed those 2 dragons since I already have them.

Do I stand a chance to hope I can get Space Pirate for free if I collect without spending until it’s available?

No it will not be for free. And you should never expect to get the last, strongest for free. Those occurrences will be very, very rare.

On other sites it says that we can get Space Pirate- He costs 9,000.

@nynaevelan ... I am ever the optimist ... if my math is correct, as Space Being mentioned, he should cost 9000...saving for 5 days should net 9000...if timing is good and he comes out towards the end he should be free; if he comes out early and lasts for a day, well ........ 🥺

Sorry I guess I should have clarified, you cannot get him for free if you go for other dragons but if you go for him only then yes you can get him for free. Sorry for the confusion, my brain has not wrapped around the no key thing plus I never go for just one dragon.

@nynaevelan ... is fine; I usually try to pick up more than 1 also yet this time it looked like I could get a big one for free; I did a double take then re-ran the numbers, then posted in here to check that my eyes were not deceiving me, just to be triple sure

@_thespacebeing_ I am a little annoyed that they are giving away free football cells, especially after I sped up the quests but I will try to count this as extra cells to possibly empower him down the road.

@dragonlove have you been able to find details of the times of the other dragons and the coins required for each - a few of you refer to it but I cannot find the link - TIA

I have bought 3,100 coins, and here is my plan:
-Complete Spaceship
-Wait until 5th
-Complete Kooky
-Complete Mad Scientist using bought coins
-Finish Mars

Kooky and Mad scientist appear on the 5th and Space Pirate and Space Knight appear on the 7th, all lasting 2 Days Each

@_thespacebeing_ now that Bett put up the official topic, closing this one.
