Nynae's Quest Tips: https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/76/quest-tips

I knew Elusive was going to be just that...Elusive. I thought I was going to go for Goofy but again that proves to be too Elusive. Then I thought I was going to be able to go for a Stinger egg...but again elusive. So Frightening was my next goal....but once again elusive. So out of the four new dragons only Iceling is attainable for free. Seriously SP, only 1 of 4.....you are making me think some very nasty words, lucky for you I am a mod and not allowed to type them..so I would stay out of dark rooms if I was you because I am sending some bad mojo your way. GRRRRRRR!!

What, really? Only the Iceling can be gotten without buying those coins?? Argh! I wanted the elusive one pretty badly :<

EDIT2: sorry! fixed now

@Nynaevelan I am echoing your dark thoughts toward SP. Sure, they have to make money, but they are making it so difficult that they are more likely to chase players away rather than convince us to spend more.

Exactly!!!

@Nynaevelan Sadly, I am finding more and more that I am participating less and less. Which means I am spending less and less.

I have pretty much given up on the Heroic Races. I have 1 from the second collection. I have started limiting myself on breedings. I will not spend more than 75 gems to speed things up when using my jokers. Tired of wasting all those gems to get rid of Pure hybrids.

Now this? 1 out of 4 is obtainable? Beyond words.

Yeesh, only Iceling? That sucks.

In storage as Eggs: Ace, Umbrella, Glutty.
Hatched & out in the field: Scrooge, Spartan.

Also, it shows Pungent Dragon on the splash screen, but it's not one of the prizes. Also, Stinger Dragon isn't new; it was available in Exclusive Packs a while ago.

This is where the keys are:
Scrooge, Ace and Iceling don`t need keys.
For....
Umbrella (2): Scrooge 15, Ace 17
Frightening (2): Ace 21, Iceling 23
Spartan (2): Iceling (21), Frightening 26
Stinger (3): Umbrella 16, Frightening 24, Spartan 29
Glutty (4): Umbrella 10, Frightening 18, Spartan 27, Stinger 29
Elusive (3): Spartan 25, Stinger 41, Glutty 43........

Dual is hidden in the fog on Iceling path step 16
Beastling is hidden in the fog on Elusive path step 12

@Bettina-Löffler So assuming that a player is only going for the two keys on the Ace path and the key on the Scrooge path, along with the entire path on the Iceling dragon and the two keys on the Umbrella path in order to get the Frightening dragon a user is 13250 coins short. If there are 10% discounts and the user only moves during these happy hours, the user is 3180 short. Can someone check my math?? This only includes moving on those five paths, no others.

I have:

Iceling - 14850
Scrooge - 820
Ace - 5350
Umbrella - 7030
Frightening - 2850 free coins

with 10% Happy Hour moves:

Iceling - 13365
Scrooge - 738
Ace - 4815
Umbrella - 6327
Frightening - 5655 free coins

You did see that it will count if you have the other 3 dragons so really to get Goofy you just need to collect Iceling.

Nah, you read it wrong, it's: "Even if you already have the dragons, you'll still need to get fresh ones from this quest for it to register."

You have only one path to goofy.

@Nynaevelan I think you read my threat wrong. For Frightening we need two keys. They are on Iceling 23 and Ace 21. So this would be the way to get Iceling and Frightening:
Iceling 14850
Ace - 21 4810
Frightening 16100
Total: 35760
We can get 30900. So we will be 4860 short.
10% Happy Hour moves:
Iceling 13365
Ace-21 4329
Frightening 14490
Total: 32184...... so still 1284 coins short.

Thanks @Bettina-Löffler . One more question, does your numbers assume that all fights are down to zero? In my counts I assumed all fights would be completed. Thanks. I am still debating what my game plan will be. If I just go for Iceling I will finish really early so I am debating with myself right now.

@Janna-Bakker Excuse me, Can we get 4 Dragons (Iceling, Umbrela, Ace and Scrooge ) in this Event without buying any coin ??

No, you can get Ace, Scrooge and Iceling for free.

@Nynaevelan Oh okay, so we can get 3/9 dragons on this 17day-event
That's fine :V

@Nynaevelan There is only one field with two fights. I think we had to buy + fight last time.

for some reason I can't scroll up as the pages are blank and none of the comments load, but I have a question (Sorry if it's answered) how many extra coins would I need to buy to solely find the Elusive dragon? Don't mind not finishing the other dragon paths.

I wouldn't mind getting the frightening one as well along with Elusive but that seems impossible without buying /a lot/ of coins...

@Sand-Emperor Dual is on the path of Iceling. So that one you can get also for free.

This is how far I calculated. For Frightening we need two keys. They are on Iceling 23 and Ace 21. So this would be the way to get Iceling and Frightning:
Iceling 14850
Ace - 21 4810
Frightening 16100

Frightening 14490

After that you have to go on Umbrella - 16, Spartan - 29, Stinger - 41, Glutty - 43 and then Elusive completely..... That will be much. I will calculate that tonight. Elusive will be around 160000.

@Sand-Emperor said in Shadow Island:

@Nynaevelan Oh okay, so we can get 3/9 dragons on this 17day-event

That is NOT fine. You are a new player so obviously 3 of 9 is good for you. For veteran players it is all about the new dragons and 1 of 4 is very NOT fine.

@Bettina-Löffler It doesn't change the conclusions, but my spreadsheet is showing 4810 rather than 7810 for Ace 21. That still leaves us 1284 short for both Iceling and Frightening with a 10% happy hour discount.

@Bettina-Löffler said in Shadow Island:

OK thanks so I will just collect for now and decide after Iceling if I will go after Frightening or not, most likely I will but we shall see by then, I may change my mind again. Hmm there is a Halloween event coming on the 21rst so that may decide if the ugly Frightening will join the family.

Haha, I think they were being sarcastic but forgot to use the "/s" sarcasm signal, however the ducklips work too.

You are right. Thanks for telling. I changed the numbers.

I calculated wrong for Ace. I changed numbers. But still we won`t get enough for Frightening.

Hmm those numbers does improve things much better. Will keep this in mind after the 21rst when I see what the Halloween event involves. Maybe that is why they only have one for free, perhaps with that Halloween event the "free" dragon counts will be much better. Not holding my breath but still staying hopeful.

what is happy hour and when does it happen like after how much time of day start?

I'm dealing just with navigation. Can you guide the direction of movement or do the dragons only go down? How do you go up?

@jamesprw It's only one way for each path

@Peter-Sitkanič thx - gradually getting that

@Armistice "Fine" here means "very very very terrible" dude (notice the icon i used)
Btw I have played this game for 3 years :))

@Must-Mlung said in Shadow Island:

Happy Hour is a time in the quest when prices for steps are reduced. In previous maze quests they were reduced by 10% for some hours. We don`t know if or when we will have it in this quest. Just check the quest often.

@Bettina-Löffler Thank you very much for that! Man, 160k coins for Elusive, that is insane... :( unbelievable. Frightening seems doable somewhat if you invest a little for coins but...man!

Get used to it, the last dragon is always for A LOT of coins/money/gems.

I did, I did.

@Armistice okay :))
I rememberd we could collect 1000 coins each 8-hour before
Now only 600-800 coins :V

The desire to move is strong.....must resist. Anyone going for the Goofy mini collection??

@Nynaevelan said in Shadow Island:

I totally get what you mean!! Everytime I collect coins I'm so tempted to get going. I'd love to go for the mini collection but I really don't want to spend any money on it.

Do you remember when in the last event that had a happy hour? Wasn't it near the end or the actually event? I am trying to hold out but I am not a patient person.

@Nynaevelan Yes it was close to the end. I remember because they had the coins on sale 3-4 times before the 1 and only happy hour.

I have not moved at all yet.

Me either but I do not know if I am going to hold off for 3 weeks, especially since Iceling is the only one I am going for since it is the only free one I want. I have been debating if I was going to go for Frightening but that would require me needing the happy hour in order to buy the least amount of pack that I can. But if memory serves the happy hour won't really help me, it all comes down to how many coin freebie offers we will get, those are the ones that will decide if I go on or not.

They seem to have fewer & fewer Happy Hours in these events. I think the last one only had one Happy Hour near the end. They don't seem to have a Happy Hour during a mini-collection time.

I'm trying to be realistic about what I can get. I'm shooting for
Scrooge, Ace, Iceling & maybe Frightening

I already have Umbrella, Spartan & Glutty
