Dragons:
Xmas Elf #260
Mistletoe #354
Holibreeze #1205
Baublebast #1206
Tips:
There are 3 limited missions in an 8 hour period. Do not start a mission if you cannot finish it in 8 hours. The 8 hours periods are the same as collecting times in other events.
Practice jumping and moving from lane to lane early on, the running speeds up the farther you go.
Collecting items is similar to races and puzzle islands, use the same practices to complete the missions. Which means terra/terra combos work for breeding but like the races you need several to meet all the requirements. Buying and placing Terras work for hatching. Growing 30 second food works for collecting food and feeding dragons to level 7 works for feeding.
When the run speeds up very quickly there are no pinwheels to collect, concentrate on collecting rewards while avoiding the rock obstacles.
Avoid using Speedy & Greedy`s tower. It might collect all your gold and food without giving you all items.
We wish you a pleasent flight.

Ok I had to rush and add the topic because what is up with the cost of the rewards along the path not being listed?? Why are they hiding this from us?

I think for every 100, you'll get a reward.

Also, I had to spend gems to reach the 5th rainbow. Some of them are impossible to go through.

I have to agree, so far I have found a couple of parts impossible to get past, and I have done OK in these, one jump was 3 long, which is normally easy, but not when not at full speed. Come SP why make this one so hard.

This is my first Runner Island so it will probably be a bust for me. I have my breeding areas full so it will be a few hours before I can collect flight stamps for breeding. Freebie Island doesn't work for me (Windows) so I can't get stamps there. It will just be a learning experience.

Yikes this is a rough one to learn on as they have made the path quite hard this time. And is AP mode possible on the Windows app??

How do you guys AP mode, do you use up all your stamps and then save or save after each good run?? I usually save after a few good runs but this time it feels like I need to save after each one because other than one 113 I am averaging 70 on a run.

I used to love playing DC subway surf. But this time, jumpin 3 stones in around 70 pinwheels... are you kiddin me SP???

Just found another impossible part in around 70 pinwheels again

I think AP mode is not possible on laptops or PC. But not sure.

Will you be able to post the list of pinwheels needed for each reward? Since they are not in the game

You can get pass them, but boy some are hard, I use AP mode only ever save if get ,more than 105 pinwills. Save after every run then go back to AP mode for next run. Seems to always be around 72 pinwills. No high score target yet that I can see?

@Nynaevelan
In past runner events I used airplane mode and saved after each successful run, where I got 90 or more points. I haven't tried this one yet. I like to be in a calm mood and have a lot of tries at it.

No. We hope SP will change that and put numbers. We asked for it.

Has anyone successfully jumped over a tall rock? On first run, I encountered an impassable area unless I spend 5 gems or those tall rocks can actually be jumped now.

I tried this earlier....the requirement jumps to 200 on the 7th prize/flight. And yes it is way tougher this time, basically had to use 5 gems each flight to get my over 100 average. I didn't save my progress cause it seems insane to spend that much gems right now without knowing the rest of the costs. Also, I saw no legend orbs along the paths of 6 flights.

I wouldn't be annoyed so much for making it more difficult if they kept the requirements at 100 each. But that's not the case. I'll do more tests later on next collection to see how much more the requirements increase. Also, they reduced the number of stamps per collection.

Fyi, my baby acct got plume on freebies but not empowered. Wrote a ticket and got 120 orbs and 36 gems from them today. Will be using those gems to test run the runner.

Same here.

I’m also averaging around 70 per flight.

I’m staying with that. I’m aiming for at least Mistletoe and a load of grid coins.

My christmas wish is beginning to come true... I wanted the 2014 Christmas Dragons to show up! First Frost, now Mistletoe...

Christreen, come out, I know you’re there!

Bettina and everybody else interested, the airplane mode works in the Windows version. I prefer to play the Runner island on my laptop, it's much easier to use the keyboard and the bigger screen is deffenetely an advantage.

I have got past 70 pinwheel up to around 110 without using gems, but crash at 70 more than make it, just don't save

Thank you for telling us.

How do you jump over obstacles? Is it a left click?

So far, it's 100, 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, "800", 900, "1100". So it went back down to 100 then up to 200 again.

As far as giant rocks, not sure it will work if there's 3 of them, but if you jump with one in front of u and change lanes mid air, you shouldn't die. So I guess if there are three giant rocks, trick is to jump on the farther one then change lanes mid air to the lane of the closer one? Lol.

Yikes, good luck with that!

I really messed up. The collection time just started. League battles required. Guess what I did less than an hour ago. Yep, did the league battles. Have to wait until morning, but as I said in an earlier post, this one is mostly a learning experience for me.

The one death at 72 pinwheels that has the tall rocks, where you have to fit in a 1x3 space and swipe down two times, is it even possible?

To get baubleblast, you need 4200 pinwheels. But to empower it, you need 8100 which seems out of reach unless SP gives more flight stamps in freebies

So basically, these are just vanity dragons. No orbs of the new dragons on the paths and a very steep threshhold to even sniff at 60 legend orbs. Too bad they made these drastic changes to this event. I was kinda warning up to it despite my bad reflexes.

I saw someone posting a pic on that that's all

Edit: Comment removed as this is unreleased, unconfirmed information.

So seeing very little legendary orbs along the path....i mean VERY LITTLE, NONE of which are the new dragons. But I am getting A LOT of useless orbs like terra, nature, etc....Thanks SP. Fabulous changes in this event.

Yeah I noticed that too. So I stopped chasing after orbs, which means later on if they are on the path I will end up missing them. I guess they decided the last run was too easy.....

@emageno Really? I don’t think SP has shown what dragons are in the maze event.

I’m nearly at Mistletoe now. I think the difficulty added was an ok price to pay for the Grid Coin Chests. They are very useful.

my runner's island has disappeared! before that the game kept resetting whenever i filled the 10/10 gold task and collected the stamps. after each restart the task was back at 0/10 and now the island is gone altogether! what's going on?

Same here.
The game always crashed when I got the 10/10 gold. Tried it 5 or 6 times
Now the island is gone.

its back with tomatoes instead of gold. unfortunately it also stole some of my hatches ...

Posting rubbish will get you banned.

The island is back with food collection instead of the second gold collection. But longer food does not count for sure here. It is just random if you get a point or not. So I would suggest to grow 30 second food over and over again.

are you sure? still nothing after 10x14 30s food.

of couse, now i got some.

Heh. Someone broke it and it's the weekend so there is no one there to properly fix it. Hm.

Seriously: I said "Heh" but this is not funny. We're on a deadline here and right now it's being messed with. Hope this thing will be really fixed real soon.

I had the same problem. Finally it changed to food instead of a second gold collection. The 10 food took much longer to get. Forunately I never lost any hatches & my island never disappeared.

Mucho gusto nose que pasa pero quiero esto

SCREENSHOT AFTER COLLECTING

c’mon SP !!! ... FIX this !!!!!

im stuck at 3 food also. tried for hours on and off.

maybe there's finally some pool business going on?

UPDATE: had 9hr collections almost ready ... just collected each of them and checked after collecting ... stayed at 3 and still stuck at 3 after each of my 3 9hr amounts collected ... UGH !!!!!

SP? I am NOT spending 41 gems to pass this spot ... you can just forget THAT nonsense !! it ain’t gonna happen ... nope ... it just ain’t gonna ...

(cutting off SP’s ice cream ... FOREVER !!!!! )
