Disappointing monsters, with no new Epic.

MC Boss, Keithor, Hiphopotamus, Metalhead, Metalisha

7 days.

Seeing as how you are the one who always "leaks" the leaks from Taringa I am not sure why you are disappointed with the lineup.

So normally I would do a Thunder Legendary + Thunder Eagle to get more Thunder Eagles regularly every 4 hours. Does anyone know any other breedings that are like that and don't produce other undesirable breedings?

@Kaiju if i remember right, cooldowns for this are 8 hours, unlike mazes you don't have to do long breedings, any fast one will do after a few tries.

@Nynaevelan Is this not the only event of 2017 that hasn't featured an Epic?

Just finished the gem dungeon which has Metalisha at the end. She brings new meaning to "Rock On!" I start the battle, run my deny and then hit autoplay for double speed. The rest of her team is dying around her, but Metalisha just keeps playing that guitar till the bitter end!

Is that a case of "its better to burn out than fade away!"
or
"play that funky music till you die!"

I don't know about you guys but I am on Keithor already...only 693 gems to go...

@Clackers REally, I got nothing. I am hardly any getting anything from collecting. Restarted app, now finally getting stuff.....@#$%!

Yikes I am wayyyy behind I am still on the first stage, DC has monopolized my time with their race.

@Kaiju In regards to getting breeding points:
Thunder Common + Thunder Legendary => yielded one point within the first three tries (4 hours)
Fire Common + Fire Common => yielded one point within the first three tries (15 seconds each)
Fire Common + Fire Hybrid Uncommon => yielded one point within the first five tries (3 to 6 minutes each)
Nature Hybrid Uncommon + Nature Hybrid Uncommon => yielded one point within three tries (15 seconds to 3 minutes)
My theory is that there's a cool down on how often a breeding (or hatching) point will proc, which is based on either the monster or the rarity. (I wouldn't be shocked if this is posted elsewhere about the cool downs.) In most of the cases above, I tried another 20 times or more with no luck. I tried with earth, nature and fire because those common eggs hatch quickly while thunder (4 hours), dark (8 hours) and light (24 hours) take much longer. I'm also trying to use combinations which I know or think will have short breeding periods. Now if I could get feeding to proc some points...

Breeding pool is 8h , so you can get 1 point every 8 hours , the breeding duration doesn't matter

@Haka-Taka
Just saying, on my account last night, I got 2/3 breeding points on the first elite in under 30 minutes. This morning on my account, I got the third point on the elite, the point for the 5 cells and 1/11 on the legendary. On my son's account this afternoon, I got four total points in about an hour. So unless I have a fortunate bug, I'm thinking more like an 8 hour cool down per combination. But my point to @Kaiju was that a lot of simple & quick combinations may get you points.

@ericj
not sure what happened but pools reset after each node ,
so me too get 1 breed point for the 5 elementium cell , then 1 point for the drummer monster ,, progressive pools are usually 6 gold , 4 food , 1 breed , 1 hatch every 8 hours

I have Keithor and the Metalisha cells now.

Probably will quit the event now, as I don't want or need Metalhead.

@Clackers Why would you spend hundreds of gems to get Keithor only to then stop ?

@Darvys I had 220 gems left over, so when I could afford it, I just bought Keithor.

Nothing ventured, nothing gained.

@Clackers if Keithor was your goal why would you oay more than you needed to, and early. Sorry but that is just a waste of resources.

I just saw the requirements for Metalhead on the wiki, unless we get a boost before the end i think he's way too expensive for an old event monster.

Will there be island booster? 14days 18 hours long progressive island to be completed in 6 days! The excess time is usually 5-6 days in previous progressive islands. This is probably the worst ever.

@SkeelMaster I paid myself to Metalhead at 3 days to go. Cost me 60 gems. I need another one for ranking, so if I can get him for 150 gems or less, I'll be happy. But definitely the most expensive old monster on a progressive island ever!

@David-ML same here. Probably will cost 100 more to get him if there's no booster. Is SP only allowing F2P players to get first 3 nodes only in progressive islands moving forward?

@SkeelMaster p2p and using gems aren't the same. You can use gems and be F2p

i just got my 20 metalisha cells and this is it for me :)
by some luck i can craft her later

Got Metalhead for 154 gems in the end. If you count the 60 to get to Metalhead, that would be 214 gems in total - better than 249, but incredibly expensive for the amount of effort required for a two+ year old legendary!!!

Looks I got the best price - 104. Still expensive :-)
