Wow as Michael would say this is insane in the membrane!! So who will you be empowering? After reviewing my dragons I have decided to give Tectonic and Scorchwing their third star and Metal Titan his 4th. This of course will wipe out my joker orbs.

I wish I had any joker orbs to do this lol. If I had 40 H JO I would do my High Scorchwing, but I do not. I did do my Anemone dragon, up to 1 star, not even realizing that this was happening.

I will take H.Scorchwing to 2 stars.

None, really.
Already summoned every Heroic (until H.O.T. gets added as Orbs) & I'll empower them as I get more of their Orbs.
Legendary Joker Orbs are mainly being saved for any Titan or Vampire I get.

I’m torn now. I’ve had enough joker orbs to get light titan to 5 stars but been holding off just in case the black magic chest gives me more light titans, or i can hold off and give wind titan 4 stars with this event.

Too much of a good thing but never quite enough

I need only 20 more joker orbs and five more Eternal orbs so I can summon him he by far is my favourite heroic

But you know that we have a empower happy hour and not a happy hour for summoning dragons?

Oh never knew that I thought there was only summoning

@aidan-drysdale said in Black Friday - Empowering with Unlimited Joker Orbs:

This is the 1rst empowering event.

I plan to empower my high earthen to 3 stars. Not sure what legendary to do after that. Regretting sending apocalypse there yesterday morning, he's stuck there for 2 more days still.
Are we still getting scrapper orbs in some of the alliance chests? Will empower him if not, but choose another if we are.

@susan-mclaughlinCan you spare enough gems to speed the apocalypse empowerment? You've probably already thought of it but I thought I'd ask anyway.

I don't know if we still get scrapper orbs in the alliance chests. I haven't seen any recently.

I have empowered H.Scorchwing to 2 stars & now have dark titan working on 1 star. After this I will take my wrathful vampire to 1 star.

Oh okay then, although an empowering event does not really make sense

@dragonista yeah an alliance member reminded me we are getting dungeon Lord right now, not scrapper.
I am reluctant to speed up empowering with gems, it is so expensive!

@aidan-drysdale said in Black Friday - Empowering with Unlimited Joker Orbs:

Why not, it makes a lot of sense to me. I have been hoping they would do something like this since the first Summoning Happy Hour. And I am THANKFUL they extended it over a week rather than a tease of just a day as they do with the summoning HH. I am just sorry I do not have more orbs to get more than 3 levels out of it.

I guess right now I am working on my battle team of heroics I only need a heroic with legend, metal, fire and ice then I need to get them to level 40 since they are at level 35 then I would start empowering them up

Why are you waiting, what does one have to do with the other? You do realize you will get the benefit of the empowerment regardless of what level they are at, right? I guess because I am not really a fighter I do not think of the "attack teams" when I work on empowering. It is in my mind but I do not think strategically like that. I empower based on the orbs I have in the following order: heroics, titans, vampires, mythicals and then legends. After that it is based on which level is next, the higher levels down to the lower levels. As far as the individuals dragon levels themselves I have maybe less than 10 that are fed to their full potential. Most are leveled up anywhere between level 35 and 55.

I do it in order because I need to summon the High Eternal Dragon and I am planning to use my joker orbs for that first so I can do it a little faster but maybe not the level 40 thing

I’m still on the fence with this event cause it cuts into the happy hour and because they seem to have gotten rid of feeding frenzy .

It is also very annoying because despite the good intentions. We are still limited to one empowering station and many of us have like a dozen dragons waiting to be empowered. So having an empowerment event to use up joker orbs and/or waste gems seems a bit confusing. I’m sure I’ll eventually find an optimal use for this event, if any. But for now....it’s kinda meh for me.

I get that, it was actually my first thoughts as well. But for me, this is not a gem event, I will do what I can in the week but other than using the @15 gems to finish the empowering that was happening when it started I will not be using any to get through more than what the week will allow. Luckily or unluckily (depending how you look at it) I have enough orbs and time to get 3 dragons empowered that would have been able to be empowered without it. Maybe if I had more, or it I wanted to do more I might have gone more gung ho into it but I will take it for what it is, a chance to knock 3 off of my list. And yes I too am hoping when this "Empower Reborn" is released they give us better options to empower. In ML there are 4 or 5 spots but sadly the first is free, the rest require gems to use. But they need to redo the entire tree, one spot in each area is painful...very, very painful.

I do agree with that but it lasts for a week so that could empower 3 or 4 dragons

I only want empowering tweaked. My summon is often empty.
The recall got way faster and is cheap to speed up.
But the empower is slooooooow and expensive. I have such a backlog waiting to empower.
The orbs shop, I have everything I want from the regular shop, and all the C, R, VR and E that I want from the occasional shop. Haven't decided to part with the gems for the L and H dragons there yet. Maybe add new dragons offered there.
And imo the trading is ok too. Maybe just lower the cost to 1 essence for each trader.

I empowered 4 dragons. High Scorchwing & Wind Titan went to 2 stars. Dark Titan & Wrathful Vampire went to 1 star.

I ended with the 3 I anticipated empowering, sadly I had to spend 50 gems to ensure to get the last one in. And now I will have to rush that one with gems so that I can get my Hexed empowered in order to complete the last stage of the Vampire Trials.

@nynaevelan I did basic terra.

You used joker orbs to empower your terra dragon?! That is such a waste of joker orbs!! Use them for dragons that are not breedable. Terra dragon is so fast to breed, hatch, recall and empower that you could empower it to 5 stars in probably a day (totally guessing but its a really short time anyway.)

@nynaevelan sadly I forgot about the event and forgot to gem the last 5 hours on my first dragon and put the last one in before it ended. I wasted half the event to begin with since I had put an apocalypse in just hours before the event started. So expensive to speed up empowering, I'm reluctant to part with that number of gems. I did not get best use of this event unfortunately. Hope I don't have to wait a whole year for the next one.

From what I can tell, Zarif seems to be a young member who doesn't truly understand how to play Dragon City.

That, or they're just trolling the boards with random nonsense.

I'm inclined to believe either theory, given his past posts in this board.

@susan-mclaughlin Common orbs and I only used like 10. I used the rest to summon my equinox dragon.
