Is the Flame Talisman so easy to get or am I just lucky? Found it in the very first Double Rune in Octopus path.
A question: Will the Sea Talisman be also in this Maze island or will it be in the tower?

I hope those YouTuber dragons aren't needed in an empowerment quest for High Tectonic. ️

@Anurag-Ghosh I also got the Flame talisman in my first chest, and I doubt the Youtuber dragons will be needed for the empowerment wuest, because the empowerment quest always has the heroic, and the legendary and epic that are awarded from the race.

@anurag-ghosh Did you plot a path or are you just moving to be moving? I looked at the maze and I see there is one on most of the non timed paths, which makes me wonder are they all flame in this island? It just looks like that would be too easy and we all know SP does not do easy....for us.

@nynaevelan So far I got the Octopus and am moving along Deep Sea path, so yeah, moving for the sake of moving. Those 4 new dragons (Deluge + ugly ones) are way beyond what I can afford. I have planned to get the Mystic Blizzard and spend the remaining maze coins on Ice King. I don't have a lot of dragons so I want to grab as many as I can. I think since the Flame part was in this "Sea" island (all sea tokens and sea dragons... Deluge), maybe the Sea Talisman will be in Tower... fire dragon=Cosmic Detonation.

@Fadeless What a relief! Thanks!

@anurag-ghosh
No such luck for me- the rune on Octopus path:

i got the same as Titania. My team member got the combined talisman (blue/ice and red/fire).

So, we need to get one each and we will be given the combined talisman?

I want Deluge but won't have enough coins for it. I don't usually buy coins for the mazes. I don't have Deep Sea, P.Seraph, or Ice King. I could get two of the Ugly Trio or Ice King.

I got my 2 talismans in boxes 2 and 3. I might just be lucky this time

4 chests in ap mode, no talismans.

By boxes 2 and 3, do you mean the two Double Runes in Deep Sea path? If so, you are really lucky!

@anurag-ghosh I found my sea talisman in the first chest on the octopus way. So I guess you could get both in the same event

Lucky me! Got this out of my 3rd Double rune. Now I have both talisman pieces, and I'm first in the race.

@fadeless So lucky, I had to open 7 chests to get a Flame piece.

congratulations on the 50 gems, too

Which path(s) are you following to get 7 double runes? I only did Octopus so far and if I want the Ice King, I cannot afford to spend any more coins...
Dragon TV just now gave me a sea piece. And the rune on Deep Sea path also holds a sea piece (checked in AP mode). Not looking good for flame so far.

@titania 1 from the freebies island, 1 from Octopus, 1 from Deep Sea, 1 from Mystic Blizzard and 2 from the Deluge path and 1 from the Quest. I purchased 3000 coins because I want Deluge.

From the first 3 chests I opened (1 & 3). Thank you sp!

@amanda-wallace You need 3 pieces, I thought it was only 2?

@nynaevelan

Sorry I was not clear ~ found my two pieces in chest 1 and 3

Oof this is unfortunate

Ok.....
Yesterday I opened two runed chests on AP mode, even opened one of them twice on AP mode..... no talismans (or is it talis”men”) i was still level 99.
Today i used AP mode again to see if i can reach a third chest. The first rune chest on the second key path, i got the fire talisman. Sure enough, i saved my progress. I went on AP mode again, to look at the rune chest on the first key path which i was positive didn't have it yesterday cause I checked it twice .... I opened it to find the sea talisman.........
......only change today was i turned level 100. So either that changed it or the chests changes? Or maybe SP updated the drop rate today?

@michael-lon Perhaps it is not the place but the number of chests you open. You also had a rune chest in ads, right? That would have changed the number.

@bettina-löffler pretty sure I opened two chests yesterday on AP, so not sure the number would apply since i didn’t get the drop on chest 2 like today.... but maybe my leveling changed my number to 2?..... but if that’s the case, my old number still applied on the video rune chest #1. I leveled after opening that. Regardless, one can say I’m happy I’m done with it and can focus on heroic. ( lap 15, might lounge there all day today cause the next two are timed laps.... so just might wait till tomorrow to tackle both those)

Yesterday I did several tests in ap mode, I opened the same number of chests but not always in the same order. Each time I received the same thing in the number no matter where I opened it. In other words #1 was always 3 gems, 5 double nature orbs and 48,250 food regardless if I picked it in the maze or in the quests.

@nynaevelan my leveling must have reset my standing then. Only thing i could think of.

I was thinking the same thing.

My pieces changed, too- I had checked the first rune on the Deep Sea path in AP mode and it was a sea rune. Then I got a sea rune in Dragon TV. And just now I walked the Deep Sea path to the rune - and it was a flame rune! I’m not complaining, obviously.

@titania it’s as bettina mentioned. It’s based on your number, which apparently is 1.... so you’ll always get your first talisman on your first chest. In my case, my number probably changed cause I leveled up. My number went from unknown to number 2.

I got my sea talisman woohoo I just have an extra flame one I wish I could give it to someone

I will do some checks tomorrow.

I got my second piece, yay!! FYI my count was wrong i counted two from AP mode so I got the first piece in the 5th chest and the second one in the 8th chest. Glad that is over now I don't have to chase after the rune chests in the tower and since I purchased the Sidemen it takes the pressure off of trying to get to the top as well.

Finally I got both! Also, first in the race.

@Titania The next Double Rune chest you open will have the sea Talisman piece, the source of the chest ( maze, even different paths in the maze, quest, Dragon TV) doesn't change the contents.

Edit: looks like you got it! Congrats!

@anurag-ghosh
Yes, I do, thank you!

I’m just very (positively) surprised it was so easy and only took two double runes! I am not usually this lucky.

Okay, here are my options:

• Ice King: most likely one I'll get (currently at 6710, will have enough coins by tomorrow)

• Polar Seraph: I can get once I get 1200 coins from the next two collections & 350 from freebies

• Deluge: only if there's a Freebies w/Coins tomorrow & I'm able to collect 570 coins from it (assuming I get 200 coins from the Quest ending today)

Have you all noticed on the fights you can do them all at once now rather than the timer that comes with it?? It's a little confusing because it still has the timer for the next fight but it also has the blue fight button that allows you to keep going. I hope it is not secretly charging me gems or coins.

@nynaevelan Sounds good. Lets see if this is intended or if they will fix it.

Last few video cycles, it’s been giving me 2 “prize” chest per session on my main acct, not the others . For example, the rune chest on this cycle. On my main, it gave me one rune in the middle and one at the end of the 6 hour cycle.... which means i lost out on 70 maze coins..... guess what..... because of that i will be 40 coins short of the deluge dragon...... that’s so perversely wrong ..... plan b, i guess. Ice king it is!

It appears to me everyone can get the talismans if they open about 10 chests? All 3 of my accts got or will get it. The hardest one was my youngest acct. got 2 sea and 1 fire. On chests 5, 6, and 8.....the other 2 accts got them very early, like on chests 2 and 3......so patience, i guess?

OMG! had NOT noticed that ... had been a good lil player needing 4 and knowing game would only gimme 3 at a time, just left the area and paid my 3 gems to move on ... ( put'n on glasses next time ... )

Got the sea talisman by opening only 2 chests & then the TV was good to me & gave me the flame talisman.

so far have only a Flame Talisman from 2 Runes on TV ...

... walked Polar Seraph and opened 4 more Runes ... a bunch of food, 5 Dbl Metal orbs, 7 Dbl Ice orbs, and 2 Dbl Flame orbs ... 3 + 30 gems ... plus L Chest = Strange, H Chest = H Tidal ...

psst ... SP ? ... where’s @DragonLove’s other 1/2 Talisman ... please ??

A surplus of talismans. I am not complaining though.

Decided not to go for Polar Seraph & I won't be able to get Deluge (off by 110 Coins).

I guess I'm going for Ice King.

Unless I feel like getting Larry, Curly, and Moe (the DragonTubers).

I waited and saved up for the Ice King and just ran the path. This is the luckiest I have been on any of these in a LONG time! In the Legendary Chest (the one that looks like a Carnival chest) I got a Skull Dragon (that was the very first Legendary I got in this game, and now I have a couple eggs in storage), which was nice, since I am not sure what the other potential prizes were. Anyone know what we’re the other possibles?

But the big one came in the Heroic chest (again, not sure what were the odds or other prizes, but in the last maze I got food in EVERY dusk/dawn chest):

Well, I got 3,200 coins to spend tonight, and I wonder which one of the Youtubbies I should choose as it's the only thing I can get. I am not going to use it to fight (obviously) and it will go directly to my Garbage habitat (sorry, Rainbow habitat, where I keep all my food like Soda and Burger and other ugly creatures). So, should it be pink, green, or yellow one?

Suggestion: depends on what is your criteria if you ever want to use them.
Purple is legend attack, yellow and green are primal, and pure respectively.

when i was figthting all those dragons, i would have found having primal attack and not depend useful as if the dragon has legend attack, then primal defense will kill your/my dragon.

on the other hand, we have too many electric defend dragons, too.

so if the criteria is defense, flame, electric, nature, i think it is more rarer to have dragons killing electric so it will be Eddie VR for me.

haha I am 100% in agreement with you. This time instead of worrying about collecting one of them I chose to go for resources on the Ice King path. Yeah me who usually grabs everything and plops them anywhere had NO desire to grab the ugly dragons in the tighty whities. Sadly I will probably have to spend gems later on to add them to my collection. Also given that there is a race going on, I only did a few attempts to breed any of them.
