I can summon both Pungent (126 Orbs) and Skeleton (112 Orbs).
However, I have not been getting any Gauntlet Orbs at all, except 1 Orb.

@Arranos I have 8 orbs for Gauntlet so far. You are not alone.

Pungent hatched, Skeleton being summoned...now it is down to seeing if Gauntlet will job my City in time. It is not looking promising since I only have 21 orbs for him.

I have Gauntlet summoning. Lucky me

@Bettina-Löffler thank you. This sounds like Greek so I’ll do my best (grandma, still working, so lots to catch up with generationally lol). I’m on DC for a grandson who started playing and wanted to share the fun.

@EpicDragon I tried to find an answer through searching, but I’m not sure where to put this problem. This seems like a catchall thread, so I will try. My grandson is doing the Easter event and bred the skeleton and pungent dragons this morning five times, and he got a dark, zombie, two vampires, and something else that was common. (We already have all of these.) Since his visit is short and we were speeding up with gems, I am very hesitant to try again. Any advice? I did not see minimum breeding levels. He tried the mountain, tree and sanctuary (fully leveled). I think both dragons are level 8 (we are experiencing food collection bugs, despite restarting my iPad). Thanks for any insight.

@EpicDragon First, do not use Sanctuary for temporary breeding events. Since Sanctuary offers some breedable dragons that are not available in the tree/mountain, using it increases the number of undesirable outcomes and reduces the probability of the dragon you're aiming for.

Second, it is chance-based, but SocialPoint has never told the players what the probability is.

Some Tips from my Experience:

1. Never use the sanctuary as it increases the failure choices.
2. Keep your parent dragon levels between level 10-15. Some say level 4-7 is best but every now and then SP throws in the level 10 requirement, so I try to keep my parents at level 10 if I can.
3. If possible breed on a mobile device or using the android emulators on a pc/mac, I've found sometimes they might not activate breeding on facebook.

@Nynaevelan We play only on iPad Pro so mobile. He bred the first two that failed in the mountain. I said try the tree and sanctuary. Thanks for the correction (an aside I do not understand from articles, if you might recommend a link: can we use the sanctuary dragons if unowned?). I will level up once our food collection bug is fixed. Waiting to hear on that. Normally we breed around 20 or higher. Difficult timing. Much gratitude.

Not looking very promising at all. Still only have 21 Gauntlet Orbs. Seriously doubt I will get 80 tomorrow. Even if by some stretch I would have to speed up summoning, then hatching, feed and breed. Nope, no Ovi here.

@LilCricketPa We got a good number through Quests. Quest3’s are still to come (I hope - it said today), and have more. I don’t recall finding any on Shire Island. I did buy the special that had 30, if I recall, for $4.99. You might see if it is still available (on the right where features are marketed in a column). Don’t give up.

@Nynaevelan to update you, I followed your advice (thank you). Although it took upwards of 15 breedings, we now have the Permafrost.

Same here, got enough for 4 pungents, 2 skeletons and half a gauntlet. Disgusted with this event.

@Nynaevelan I awoke to DC’s solution to ensuring members would be able to summon a fully orbed Gauntet dragon, albeit it cost $14.99 for the 50 orbs sale that appeared this morning. Then, again, it took nearly 20 sped up breedings to finally hatch the Augmented Dragon.

A nice surprise, while many of these breeding “failures” were common duplicate dragons, Gauntlet and Skeleton gifted us with our elusive Fallen Angel in the process.

My grandson now has his Ovi Easter dragon egg awaiting his hatching. Granted, this event was intense and expensive. Along the way, though, I learned how to empower myself more in future events and made friends with our helpful moderators and even other forum contributors. Thank you!

I'm still 32 orbs short on the Gauntlet Dragon - I refuse to spend $14.99 to get them!!!!
Meanwhile I summoned one Pungent and have orbs for 3 more if I wanted them

I did get a Permafrost on my 4th try - kinda annoying since I already had one!

Not too excited or happy with this event

I am NOT buying Gauntlet orbs just so I can use gems to breed 2 dragons that I have to get one that I don't. Gauntlet and Ovi will just have to join the list. SP dropped the ball on this one but honestly even if I was able to get Gauntlet it still would have cost to get Ovi due to the rebreeding of Augmented and Permafrost.

@Nynaevelan Same here....

@Bettina-Löffler I find it very annoying that we are pretty much being punished For being veteran players. We earned these dragons ages ago an should be able to use them.

I feel like the main prize isn't Ovi Dragon, as that's just an Epic Primal, but rather Pungent Dragon is the real reward here. Pungent Dragon is very strong, especially with not too many Primal Dragons out there yet, making its Primary Pure Element extremely strong. Plus, it is a Legendary Dragon, and if you watch ads, it is very easy to get multiple. I will have 3 total by the end of this event, simply from completing Alliance Chests and watching Video Ads (around 200~ Pungent Orbs came from Video Ad). I'm most pumped up for a new Heroic Dragon with Primal Element. Anyone know when that is coming up?

I have so much bad feelings about DC right now that they probably overflow the theme of the current thread. Trying to keep the topic, this was the most greedy event that I have the displeasure to participate. SP controled the odds to give us less gauntlet orbs just to forcing us to spend with VIP dragons, "special offers" and all the other ways to catch our money. Quests that generously give us 3 orbs, arena chests with only 1 orb, summoning time plus hatching time that don't fit within the event deadline and this brilliant idea to be forced to re-breed a dragon that I already have. Thousand ways to make things hard, lack of consideration with the veteran players. I can't see anymore this game as "free to play", the only free thing that we can do is to collect coins every 8 hours... at least till this moment.

@Jimmbo-Slice Wizards are a facebook-only feature, not available on mobile. They allow you to accelerate certain activities (breeding, hatching, food production) once every 24 hours for free, but the wizards themselves cost 250/500/750/1000/1500 gems each. They are not available on mobile platforms.

This isn't true, I'm on mobile and have all dragon wizards so no it's not a facebook feature only.

I am so close to getting Skeleton dragon (only using freebies!) Just 9 more orbs to go!

Yes you have them but you can't use them in the mobile app, so yes they are still a fb only feature. And if this is not true, explain how you can use them on mobile. And ok am not referring to puffin, because that is still logging into fb.

@Nynaevelan We are new enough, and my grandson is emotionally invested, that the price was justified given the previous investment in time, hope, and also money. I will not participate in future events like this though, for the reasons you and others listed. DC takes advantage of people. It is fun enough that I will try to find a workaround.

I click on them and use them, all the time I've never played on FB as it's too stinking slow. I just click on the dragon and use it. Sent you a video of how to use them Nynaevelan.

@Nynaevelan Well, I just got Ovi. Haven't bought the orbs for the Gauntlet - 20 orbs came from the alliance chest, 8 from the first two quests (haven't done stage 5 of the third quest yet), the rest came from videos. I had to speed up summoning Gauntlet from ToL with 36 gems. Other than that, just used Wizards to accelerate hatchings & breedings.

@Stilor congratulations! We don’t have access to videos or wizards. Are you on PC? I use an iPad app. Still waiting for Freebies Island. ️

Where is that video ? @SilverWolff Would love to learn how to use them on mobile. I checked past messages but didn’t see it. Thanks.

@EpicDragon Informations about freebies section with cinema you can find here: https://forums.socialpointgames.com/topic/123/cinema-offers-freebies-island-mobile-only

@EpicDragon On both PC and mobile. Freebies is mobile-only, wizards are PC-only. So, once a day, I log in to DC on a desktop.

@EpicDragon I can’t really say that SP takes advantage of its customers. They do the same thing that all of the gaming developers do...stack the odds in their favor. They are a business and their main objective is to turn a profit.

I will say that I play quite a few games. SP is actually very generous with giving players the chance to get free in game currency (gems). A lot of games give you no chance at all.

That being said, I have my own game, but help my granddaughter with hers. We just do what we can for free. We help her with things that will earn her gems, and we just keep reminding her not to spend them until she sees a dragon she really wants.

Based on the video I got Silverwolf is referring to the towers, I was referring to the wizards/mages.

@Bettina-Löffler Thank you

@Stilor Appreciate the clarity and also your approach.

This is how I end this event, after already summoning Pungent and Skeleton and watching all videos and doing all Quests for orbs. To say I am annoyed and angry is an understatement.

@Nynaevelan I ended up like you. No Gauntlet. Trying to breed Permafrost I stopped after speeding up breedings and hatchings for 50 gems. That was my limit. If that was our happy easter present from SP I dont want to know what they are planning for next christmas.

@Nynaevelan I ended with 103 orbs by getting 5 orbs on the last ad (freebie island). So I was "lucky". With a dragon being summons I had to finish that one. Then fast forward gauntlet. Then speed up the skeleton/whatever to get permafrost. Then breed a new augmented... and my hatchery was full.... long story short... about 250 gems later. The most I have spent on any event by a long long way (snow race to get high comet bring the previous most... to get to lap 12... to now have all high dragons despite only starting last year).

So.... was I lucky to get 100 orbs with two hours left in the event. Depends on how long until Ovi is given away easily/freely in an event.

Hope you get gifted the final two gems soon so you at least get gauntlet.

Back to the shadows for me. I will continue to enjoy reading these forums.

@Nguyen-Tran207 Why this tag?

I gave up on speeding breedings and hatchings to get another augmented after finally getting a gaintlet. About an hour before the events end, I was collecting and saw my mt breeders were ready. It ended up being Augmented. So in the last hour or so, I got Ovi.

Congrats, glad someone was able to finish it successfully.

@Nynaevelan I did buy the gauntlet orbs when they were sold ....50 orb and some light tokens. Even doing that, it was rough getting the rest.

I did all of the quests except for the 2 VIPs. Even set my alarm so I wouldn’t miss a battle. We did the alliance chests. Did all the videos. Those orbs were hard to get.

@LilCricketPa I ended up with 596 Pungent orbs, 271 Skeleton and 121 Gauntlet. So I agree, Gauntlet orbs were harder to come across. That said, getting the Ovi cost me about 40-45 gems (and no real money), and that with a day to spare: 36 gems to accelerate summoning + I used gems a couple times to speed up "short" hybrids that costed 3-4 gems, to save the wizards for long, 10+ hours, breedings.

On a separate note, Freebies seems to shell out Grumpies like crazy: I've got three Grumpy eggs (not orbs) in the last two batches of videos.

I caved in order to get Gauntlet...

@Nynaevelan This doesn't give you Ovi anymore, does it?

@Stilor No. That event is over.

@Nynaevelan
Hmmm. My pack here in Ireland, on my phone, costs €2.29; that's US$2.81.
I can't understand why there is such a difference in price. But there always is.

I never got the gauntlet, i was like 5 orbs away xD,,, btw does anyone know anything helpful for the new high resolution dragon event starting the 26th I believe?

@CaptainLooks I paid for the special to get the gauntlet towards the end. It was DC’s response, I think, to so many expressing concerns about finding enough Gauntlet orbs to breed the Augmented. Now they seem everywhere, including another special. Be patient, and hold hope.

Do you mean High Realm (heroic) event on the 26th? Haven’t come across that. Will have to re-read the April update, now that I’m past the Easter event and watchtower island.

UPDATE: you most certainly meant High Resolution dragon, in a new heroic race. Thanks for the reminder!

@CaptainLooks Gauntlet Dragon orbs are still available through the alliance chests. The breeding event using Gauntlet is over and the Ovi Dragon is no longer available, which is why everyone was trying to get him.

As for info on the next Heroic Race, follow the Game Updates thread. The Community Managers usually create a thread with all the event info, a day or 2 before the event.
