Welcome back to grinding terra/terra for 11 days. I got a new VR dragon - Buckley.

@gemspender

I don't remember a period I stopped grinding terra/terra since the last herioc race.
I don't know why I couldn't just control myself and not participate in some of the events since then. Maybe I'll wait for 29 Oct - 2 Nov: No Sleep Grid and give myself a well deserved break then;)

@gemspender Congrats on Buckley!

I seem to be getting carpal tunnel syndrome Not sure if I can finish the race

I think it is up to us to let go....like this time, Runner Island last day (?) in which is is feasible to do until the end, Heroic Race, and chests. Just too many 'must have events' that it suddenly makes no sense as it is dragon city driving us, not the other way around.

And I got Ukulele which I didn’t have.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted on here —- thank you for the guide as always!

@titania I got the chicken VR today that I didnt own either.

@methead It seems to be a good day for new VRs

@titania Oh yes! I got new Deep Sea VR just now. Stopping at node 4.2 for today. Good going, dragon folks!

It would be nice to get the rewards from lap 20 but I am going to only aim for lap 15. I need a rest.

Sorry to be picky @Bettina-Löffler - but new dragon is High Devastation, not Earthen

One good thing I can say about having my computer out for repair is that I am getting a much needed rest from the seemingly never ending grind of all the events. ( I am on a friend's computer right now.)

So far I am at 3.5 laps

@terentius56
If you read the post, you would see that Bettina put up the laps from the earthen race because they are the same for the first laps, and new ones will be put up later.

Guide is complete now.

Some of this is kind of incorrect but anyways does not matter

Glad I had already decided to stop the runner with beast mode. Trying to keep up with multiple events no fun. Especially when daylight savings hits here and the first collection is an unfriendly time.

@aidan-drysdale What is incorrect?

@bettina-löffler what is the very rare dragon as reward in the race?

Clicking on the dragon in the rewards section will take you to the dragon's page, if you are referring to the race rewards. If you are referring to the egg that is a lap reward, that differs for each player.

Everytime when there is a heroic race, it'll have this problem of not letting me in the game... Almost as if someone was trynna sabotage my account for first place.. it's just weird that it only happens when there is heroic race

Maybe it is due to so many people being logged into the servers at once, and not specifically to your game. You could try clearing your cache and restarting your game. If it persists, try contacting support to see if they have a way to review and/or fix it.

Well some of the waiting times and pools are wrong I cannot totally remember but they were all on lap 4

@aidan-drysdale I rechecked and there is nothing wrong. You should be more precise.

Thanks @Bettina-Löffler. Sorry I was a little busy and didn’t formally thank you. I wish everyone a great heroic race nonetheless! Have fun and let the games begin!!

Also, looks like I’ll be empowering my Ice Bullet Dragon

Jumping ahead a bit...

I've not wanted to spend gems on the heroic quests after a race but I'm a little tempted this time.

I found a few posts that @Nynaevelan wrote on a recent race's thread as follows

"
Here are the levels needed to complete the two heroic quests, for quest 1 it is 60 gems to skip and 90 gems for the second. Both have a 6 hour cool down period between stages:

Q1 -
1 - 15
2 - 17
3 - 19
4 - 21
5 - 23
6 - 25
7 - 26
8 - 27
9 - 28
10 - 29
11 - 30

Q2 -
1 - 30
2 - 32/31
3 - 34/32
4 - 36/33
5 - 38/34
6 - 40/35
7 - 41/36
8 - 42/37
9 - 43/38
10 - 44/39
11 - 45/40

To spend as little as possible you will need to calculate the time needed to finish the second one without using gems. To get there you will need to spend gems to rush the empowerment of the first one, so it is going to cost you at least 56 gems. You will need at least 24 hours to finish the last 4 stages of quest 2 without gems. So that means it comes down to how much cushion time you are going to give yourself to determine how much you will spend to get quest 1 done. Since quest 1 is cheaper then it is best to pay for the speedups on quest 1 than it is for quest 2. If my calculations are correct for me I plan to spend to speed up the last 3 fights of quest 1 which means this one will cost me 180 for speed ups, 56 to empower and 14 for the hatching, which is the 250 you calculated. That calculates down to less than a gem per orbs which is A LOT cheaper then they are to buy them on offer or during orb sales.

"

Assuming they don't change anything of course.

But what I don't remember reading is how many orbs we get and of what dragons (just heroic or legendary too) if we complete the quests. Can anyone remind me?

@cuebiyar you will get 320 orbs of each, the heroic, legendary and epic dragons from the race if you complete both quests. In the first quest you get 120 of the heroic orbs. In the second quest you get 320 of the epic and legendary orbs and 200 of the heroic orbs.

Yes, that post of Nynaevelan is really helpful to all players.

thank you @cuebiyar for re posting it so we all have a recent copy.

Well just the pools on lap 4 when the pool was 6 for collecting food I got seven I think it was lap 4 node 5 or maybe it was glitching for me

@aidan-drysdale Perhaps it took you the wait time for one item to get one.

@nynaevelan I’m taking it easy too. I’m in second on both my accounts. Reaching lap 15 will be good enough for me.

Mabye I was harvesting for a while

@deedee68 How do you folks handle 2 accounts or more? One account keeps me busy enough as it is. I do eat and sleep normally...

I just received Horai as Legendary Egg on Lap 11 and am not sure whether to be happy or sad... I kind of wished for a new dragon.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my Horai dragon, but next step would be 4 stars and one fed up to 40 will obviously not get me nearly enough orbs.
Any tips, is there a better way to use it?

@titania maybe trade the orbs to a teammate who needs them in exchange for some you need?

@yumi-ko I’m retired

@titania how are you guys so fast i just barely reached lap 9.2

Hi @Nynaevelan, my recollection is you will receive orbs from the Legendary and Epic dragons in the 1st quest as well as the 2nd quest. If I remember right, Quest #1 has 11 nodes, nodes 1-10 alternate with 24 orbs each of the Epic and Legendary dragons from the heroic race for a total of 120 each if you complete the quest, and then node 11 gives you the 120 heroic orbs. In quest #2, I believe nodes 1-10 alternate with 40 orbs each of the Epic and Legendary dragons from the heroic race for a total of 200 each if you complete Quest #2, and then node #11 gives you the 200 Heroic orbs.

that's not how its been for the last couple of quests. In the first one it was 10 nodes of food. I prefer that format, since not every can do the second quest.

That's cool. My lifestyle is quite relaxed and simple. I'm just passing time here and not as driven as most players. I do my best at my current level in a relaxed and active manner and then go to sleep!

Do we have different H-Quests after the race?

I am with Michael Dolan.
I am absolutely sure, that all H-Quests since the very beginning of H-Quests had the same pattern.
Its 24 E and L orbs alternating in the first H-Quest with 120 H orbs at the end. And 40 E and L orbs alternating followed by 200 H orbs at the end in the secand H-Quest.

I could be wrong and wrote them down incorrectly. So I will leave this one open. We will find out after this race if there is a quest and what format they will be in. I was concentrating more on the levels and wait times so I might have written the notations down wrong.

Speaking of Quest cool downs and buy-outs: does the Legends at War Quest stick to 6 hour waits and 12 gem buy-outs? Or does it change over the course of the levels? I seem to recall that some of these bump up to 8-hour cool downs at higher levels?

Thanks!

The one that just ended had a 10 hour cool down for the last one, all the others remained the same. I am only referring to this one, because this is the only one that I completed.

@nynaevelan Thanks! This helps!

Update: looks like the wait was 6 hours until you get to the 50 coin reward levels, when it jumps to 8 hours. I will update when I get to the next change in wait times.

I think I’ll be able to get the mythical which’ll be my best run yet. I’m on 13.1

Just hit lap 15, but I will continue my snail's pace to see if I can get to 17or 18 before the end. But my main goal has been achieved so anything more is just icing on my birthday cake...
