I am quite surprised that in 4 days with no coins purchased I will make it through the Mechano stage, yay!! I wasn't even aiming for him.

@nynaevelan wow congrats.But how did you get so many grid coins?I never thought what you did would even be possible . You did that completely f2p?

@vikas-nambiar said in Mechano will be mine!!!:

No, I purchased 250 coins to get me to UFO. All the coins I got after that was f2p. So from Saturday night on it was f2p. I usually do not get good colors on the top row but on this one I got a lot of stars.

And now I am officially done with this one.

@nynaevelan but I think it takes 1000 Saturn's and rockets to get mechano right? So even if you bought 250 coins mechano would be hard to get.

Yep, but all the moves I purchased was used up before I ever got to him, so it was all free moves to get his 999/999 requirements down.

I didn't take a screen capture right after UFO but this one was not too far after.

@nynaevelan wow awesome and thanks for making me believe this is possible gotta do it next time but did you spend gems for speeding up the breeding and hatching process(if u used the gems then i wont be doing it coz dont have that many gems)?

Not gems, I have the wizards and use those in the facebook version of the game. But to be honest I only did one set of breed/hatch missions. I usually do not bother with them because they are too time consuming. The only time I was getting moves from those is when they coincided with the breeding island combos which I was doing. I just do the missions from the first two rows, the quests and the freebies when they are available. I did use a few gems to skip a few quest missions but at max I only used @10-15 gems.

Usually for these when a Rescue comes out at the same time I will buy 550 moves so that I can do both events, this time I only purchased 250 moves because I was only aiming for the Rescue dragon and one or two of these dragons. I got lucky with this one because I was getting a lot of red/yellow and orange/blue thingies to match. Usually in the first row there is one color that I rarely get good moves with., hence the need to buy the moves to keep my progression going in the beginning of the event. I am not a patient person, and I hate waiting and if things progress too slowly I will get bored and frustrated and give up on it. So in most events when there is something I really want to add, I make a small purchase to get my flow going quickly. I start off fast and gungho then my interest starts to wane because I am bored.

FYI: For the last month to six weeks I have been doing the freebies tasks when good gaming ones come out to try to grow up my gems. I have earned @650 gems so far. I am currently working through 6 other games to try to get some more gems. It is time consuming but eventually I will add a lot more gems to my arsenal.

And before you ask how and which ones, I usually pick games that I find interesting, will earn a minimum of 100 gems, do not cost anything to meet the requirements or cost $5 or less and have no time limit. I got burned with a few because I did not realize they had a 14 day time limit, so now I make sure to pick ones that do not have limits because it can take me a while to get to where I need to be. For instance I am working on Mobile Royal for 1306 gems which I have been working on for a month and am probably still not halfway done.

Woo I am chatty today. Haha!!

@nynaevelan I managed to get him also, was very surprised, one point needed just yellow and none in sight.

Congrats! I liked this event because it was easier to make combos and special moves.

@nynaevelan Good job and congrats to all who got him. I didnt manage it because I couldnt play much for four days.
