Dear community,

Can you already hear it? The Dragons are getting for it... a new Heroic Race starts tomorrow!

Find out more information the Race and the special Rewards -> HERE.

Let us your opinion and Happy racing everyone!

I need Guardian so I'm going for L12 at minimum.

I'm going for the end.............yuck I am already tired and it hasn't even started yet.

I would like to get Guardian and Purity.
Heroic Race starting in 3... 2... 1...

Aiming for lap 15 again though it would be nice not to have to go that far. At least it starts at lunchtime for me, so will be looking to be on lap 4 after the first hour.

Yes!! I don't know why Social Point thinks mind numbing repetition is fun. They could increase the chances so it would only take a few hundred breedings/hatchings rather than a couple thousand. With the wait times and having to complete 75 nodes, we would still have spend gems.

My game has shut down. I was making good progress but now I'm shut out.

***HEROIC RACE TIPS AND GUIDE ***
You are in a group of 8 players. To get the new dragon you must qualify by reaching lap 5 at least and be 1st in your race. However, there are prizes for runners up.
You have 10 laps, 50 nodes. You do not have to complete all of this but if you do Lap 11/12/13 and so on are exactly the same as lap 10
There are pools and wait times but they do NOT begin until lap 7. Check the link below for details of the lap and node you are on. We recommend checking each time you begin a new node. (I will add infos for the guide as soon as I get it.)
**For breeding: Breed Terra and Terra (fastest combination) with low lv parents, You can also breed sea x Poseidon, sea x sea or other basic dragons with at least one parent level 14 or less.
**For hatching: Breed any combination above. Hatch and place. We found out that on pc or puffin buying terra eggs and placing them works also and is the quickest thing. For some players it also works to sell the eggs from the hatchery.
**For feeding your dragons: Feed one of the hatches you did or breed another terra and terra to feed to level 7, then sell.
**For collecting food: Grow the cheapest food and collect after 30 seconds. Repeat this until you have collected the full amount of points.
**For collecting gold: Go to a habitat that earns gold relatively quickly. Tap on the habitat. Tap on the collect gold button until you have collected your full amount of available points. Even if you collect 25 gold repeatedly, you will get the items. It makes also sense just to collect gold when it is needed for the race. Then you will get an item from almost each habitat.
**League battles: Fight ONLY the number required for your current task! If you run out of league battles, check the pools and wait times for the rest of your node tasks. If the waits are longer than your next league battle refill and you can afford to wait (nobody is gaining on you) then wait. Also, if your league battles take many gems to refill and it's only going to take a few gems to skip the rest of that task completely, buy the task out with a few gems. PRO TIP: To avoid loosing progress when you are ready with everything, visit a neighbor and return back to your islands to save the progress before you leave the game.

Started late:

It's officially an uphill battle.

Don't like the group I'm in this time. Started in fifth place with the leader already on lap 4. Have caught up with her, but need to collect gold and not getting credits for it like I used to! Seems like it's going to be the long haul to lap 15.

Now it's kicked me out and can't get back in! Great start!

So far just have one racer but I am sure the rest will wake up soon. Though my racers might not have moved due to the log in issues some are having.

Just reached lap 4 node 5 and 7 pvps are needed. So far there are two things I do not like about this race. 1. they made the cost to gem past the internal fights. 2. 7 pvps. really!? that means it will take at least 3 cycles to move past this node without gems.

What happened to my inactive racers??? 😭😭😭

Once again I woke up to find myself at the start of the race, in 5th place. I am not going to focus much on first place as I am, getting to lap 15. Going to pull up the post from last month and try his method. Will copy and paste that post here as a reminder.

This was posted during the last Heroic Race and I'm copying / pasting here because I want to try it. By this formula, we should end today on lap 7.

@Ariel-Barzilay said in Heroic Race: Oni Forest - High Queen Dragon - July 27, 2017 - August 7, 2017:

According to my calculation it should take ~9.5 days (using few gems) to get to lap 15.
I'm currently on Lap 14 Node 1, probably I'll finish the node in 2 hours and the lap in 24 hours.

My times:
Lap 1-7 => ~ 1 day
Finished lap #3: after 2 hours
Finished lap #4: after 8 hours
Finished lap #6: after 14 hours
Finished lap #7: after 27 hours (1+ day)

Lap 8-9 => ~2 days
Finished lap #8: after 40 hours
Finished lap #9: after 60 hours

Lap 10-14 => ~6.5 days
Finished lap #10: after 94 hours (~4 days)
Finished lap #12: after 156 hours (6.5 days)
Finished lap #13: after 188 hours (~8 days)

IMO, whoever wants to reach lap 15 need to:
-Finish lap 7 in a day (give or take)
-Finish lap 8 & 9 in 2 days
-Finish each lap between 10-14 in ~30-31 hours so all the 5 will take 155 hours (~6.5 days)

I have 5 fights waiting for me on pvp. So only a couple of gems needed for this node. When I get into the game that is....

This too is my goal, let's see if it works for me. The hard part is going to be once I reach lap 10, I usually lose steam at that point due to the boredom.

Have a racer start 5 hours later and now he is almost 2 laps ahead of me, guess I am going to 15.

This Is So Cool ( 9* w *)9 Its Been A Very Very Long Time Since I Started Playing Dragon City And I Kinda Stop For A Year There Is So Many Changes...The League Is Kinds Full Of Strong Players With High Blah Blah Dragon I Kinda Gets My Dragons Wipe Out ..The Legendary Dragons Is Not Breadable With Coolfire And Soccer ... its A Big Change ...I TOOK SO LONG I GOTTA GET THAT HEROIC DRAGON GOTTA WIN THE RACE (Ò ^ Ó)9

Hi guys. Do you have any idea to get gems? Because I need that badly here to complete the nodes. I mean the alternative way rather than purchasing the gems . Dear dragon city players, help me to summon at least this two heroic dragons. Because I don't have one:(. Thanks .

That is a fun game mode

@Prien-Nick You get gems from

Freebie island ad’s
Jewelem Tower
Daily Shuffle
Level up
Monday Reward
Daily Gift
League Battles
Goals
Earn Gems/tasks
Dragon Card Packs

Mobile users can watch videos for gems in the cinema in freebie island (this is available after you have played DC for 21 days); two videos every 8 hours give 1 gem. (1x3)= 3 gems per day (3x7) is 21 per week! ( every so often we get offers on cinema to watch more videos for gems) - if you have issues with the cinema check the cinema issues file for possible ways to fix it
Jewelem tower (once complete) gives 1 gem per day (1x7) = 7 per week
Daily shuffle on PC (puffin browser app for mobiles) gives you a chance of 50 gems but of course you need to be lucky!
Level up 1 or 2 gems
Monday reward (PC/puffin gives 5 gems when you win)
Daily Gift on PC gives a total of 15 Gems over the 15 day calendar (also small amounts of food and gold)
League battles on mobile give 3/4/5/6 gems for completing the league depending what level you are, on pc/puffin browser you either get tickets to purchase card packs with or gems (temperamental system!!)
Goals to reach in game on mobile and PC platforms give various amounts of gems/food/gold depending on the goal
Earn gems (Tasks on mobile) option is also available on mobiles and PC, you can fill out surveys, download games and various things to earn gems, these are NOT ran by sp and sp are NOT responsible for paying the gems, sometimes you won’t get them, sometimes you will, Take screenshots of the requirements before starting these tasks so you can check later you have completed them correctly, I recommend doing the free ones, be prepared for spam if you have to give an email address and note that the game downloads usually require you to play to a specific level in order to earn the gems, they can take a few days to be credited to your account ( if you need to report missing gems do this from the task wall by clicking the ? or missing gems link)
Dragon card packs contain various amounts of gems food gold xp and a dragon and can be obtained for real money only and sometimes when levelling up on PC, it used to be every 5th level but that may have changed.
You can always buy gems of course, I recommend waiting for sales and checking the prices on pc compared to mobiles because they can vary :)

Thanks on reposting :)
Currently I'm on lap 7 node 1, waiting :)

My current times are (using some gems , mainly for the PVPs and fights)
Finished lap#4: 6.5 hours
Finished lap#6: 8.5 hours

Good luck to all of us!

Well I've reached lap 7. Yes, I have spent gems to skip pvp battles, and to finish a couple of nodes when that last breed or hatch just wasn't happening. I'm only just in the lead and this time am not expecting to stay in the lead. I've spent nearly two solid hours on the game, so am now looking forward to the pool times which will now kick in! Can't see a guide yet on DC guide website though, hopefully it will be up soon.

@Glaceon Yes. Hopefully.

I'm glad that my hunch was right, this one is similar to my try for High Guardian: chock-full of problems.

@Glaceon well done!
you can use as a reference the previous High Queen Dragon guide.

@Ariel-Barzilay I think that is a wrong advice.

@Bettina-Löffler IMO you can derive those times from previous races, they usally only mix some tasks between different nodes in a given lap.
For example the Food and Feed tasks in the current race (Lap 7 Node 1) are equal in the amounts to the previous race Lap 7 Node 2.
So from here I'm assuming that the pool times are equal.
It might be that I'm wrong.. but I don't see any reason to change those times between races for the same task with the same amount in the same lap.

See snapshot attached

I must have blanked this node from my memory. Certainly cannot remember a node like L7N3! But on checking the High Star guide it is exactly the same.

9 pvp fights, 3 battles and 6 breeds! 😭

The breeding I can do tonight before bed, but pvp cannot be finished before tomorrow morning - unless I pay gems...which I don't want to do...

Guess I'll see how many I get from the latest batch of videos. I'll probably wake up to see my Brazilian rival 2 laps ahead...if so then he ( I think he) has loads of gems.

@Ariel-Barzilay I don`t understand what is equal there. lol Perhaps I am just to old for that.

@Glaceon Oh. Bad.....

@Bettina-Löffler
Lap 7 node 1 (in this race) and Lap 7 node 2 (in the previous race) have the following common tasks:
Food 10 items
Feed 12 items

The same goes for Lap 7 node 2 (in this race) and Lap 7 node 1 (in the previous race) that have the following common tasks:
Gold 15 items
Food 8 items

So I use the previous race similar/matching tasks' pool times for calculation.

And BTW , it's working.. so far..

@Ariel-Barzilay Oh wow. I see. Thank you for this. :)

@Erik-Granda What?

@Ariel-Barzilay I rechecked with others. It isn`t the same and we can not use the old guide. We have to wait for the new one.

I'd have liked to have finished the 8th lap by today's end but I'm not willing to gem my way through anymore than I have already.

Pools and waiting times...

Thanks a lot for the updated data, is it possible to reach lap 12 whitout spending outrageously to avoid pvp and fights ? first race so i can't make a guess and it would be annoying to calculate this.

@Darvys I am sure you can, but didn`t calculate. I will start lap 8 in some hours. I spent around 30 gems until now. Just make sure to do the first laps very quickly.

@Pounawea is the race ready now? Two hour already passed and i cant join the rAce.....ty

@Ferdinand-Gonzales-Erin The race began yesterday

@Bettina-Löffler
Thanks for the race info. Can you share how you got it? I am thinking if multiple players knew how to get it, then it could be obtained and shared at the beginning of the event.

@skidragon Admins of the group Dragon City Players made it. It wasn`t available at the beginning of the race. We try to be quick. But it takes some time to put things up.
