Getting to a point with game now as I discussed before it being a grind so if my maths are right which they may not be it’s going to take me 24hr just to get a dragonian beast then I get to move onto a rorcal again possibly same or more time so in a 7 day island 2 days will be taken up getting pretty much 2 pointless epics unless spending gems of course social point would be better just forgetting about other events and just run a race back to back as that as far as I can see is all there interested in whine over

as promised:

if there are mistakes im sorry but my heart wasnt in it, If there is no boost in the weekend and you dont want to use gems 20 cells Predagelum is max.

Im so in agreement with you I dont really feel any need to make a spreadsheet but I will do it because im to curious about the time it will cost to complete it

btw I will hijack your post probably to post it :)) hope you dont mind

@Marianne-van-Es Times required(if i did everything right; if i didn't, i'll have to completely edit my how to spend gems guide):
Dragonian Beast-1d4h
Rorcal-1d12h(total:2d16h)
Hirondeleor-2d17h20min(total:5d9h20min)
Alpha Cliviast-3d22h40min(total:9d8h)
Amphidator-3d8h(total:12d16h)
Predagelum-4d13h20min(total:17d5h20min)
90 Predagelum cells-2d2h40min(total:19d8h)
150 Predagelum cells-4d13h20min(total:23d21h20min)
The limiting factor in all 8 of these is gold.

I am not going to pay one gem for either dragonian beast or rorcal. Seriously. What a waste of time.

I think they are correct I use 20 minutes extra on gold because gold can sometimes take a bit longer to get all from pool

@Marianne-van-Es shame that social point doesn’t put in the same effort u do

Thanks for helping me saving gems. I really thought at least one monster could be reached by spending only a few gems.

@Parra you mran new monster because to fair Hirondelear is reachable without spending gems and with boosts Alpha Cliviast,(no sleep tho )

Ok. Some one with prior knowledge show me how to maximize hatching and so on? Please

@Marianne-van-Es How is Alpha cliviast reachable with island boost? Island boost only lasts for 2 days(making the effective length 9 days) and Alpha Cliviast takes 9 days and 8 hours. If you don't sleep and an island boost happens, it should be possible to get Alpha Cliviast for less than 10 gems, but not 0.

@William-Justus here's a guide for how to succeed in all events, including progressive islands.

I said I think with perfect collection, maybe i havecl to recalculate i could be off

Well I didn’t think it would happen but just as wrath said the game has officially become a grind was this last challenge that made me decide to quit game so this will be my final post thanks to all the mods for there help and ekto this will be my last whine

I am not going to pay one gem for either dragonian beast still my point

@Marianne-van-Es
Right as usual. Thanks for correcting me.

@callumarachnoid Im sad now I will miss you, we all need to whine me too I think even @Ekto Gamat and @C0ntriv3d need too we all are players with same intention we want to make this game better we may have different opinions but the intention is the same. so i hope you will come back after a while till then i greet you

@Marianne-van-Es Thank you marianne keep up the great work

@callumarachnoid
Sad to see you go . Maybe you can still play lazy mode
and same about this event here .. i decided to totally ignore it

@Haka-Taka Im in the same mode because i totally dont understand a breedable epic on first node so I dont want to speed that up. Was on rorcal 3/5 on hatch and breed time then I got 2 breeding and 2 hatching points in a row ?!? I used 2 gems to speed him up and now Im on Hirondelear

@Marianne-van-Es
For me i will totally ignore it , this is my progress now
the hacthing came naturally as i was try to get more fireleqin

I am still on 1st node. 2 gems to finish but still refuse to spend even those. Rorcal is bad. The death fish not worth it either. Joke bad.

@callumarachnoid , awww, don't leave the game.

Just do as I did for this event: completely ignore it and recharge for events that are of some interest.

Island boost

I might get Hirondeleor, since Taringa told us about the breeding event, I left the hatchery free to collect the items for breeding and hatching, so it wasn't so bad, I paid 2 and 4 gems for the Epics, which still was high but I want to try to rank up that Fish.

I totally Agree that this event is better to be ignored, just the Hirondeleor node is 3 ftp grinding days, that's too much.

As mentioned on other threads, the game gets to a point when one should learn that not all events can be done and one must learn to choose on which event participate.

For instance, for low-mid level players, I think that a good idea is to avoid all events that involve hatching and breeding that will give you just another normal monster and focus on ranking all the breadables you can so you can beat the nemesis dungeons, or rank really good epics for support on wars and pvp instead of using gems just to get monsters that will not be of any relevancy to the game on the long run.

39 gems spent so far. If I can finish this one out for around same amount I'll be happy.

@STAR.parts You can if you're super active; after the point at which the screenshot was taken, you need to collect the entire pool 10 times to reduce the cost to 26 gems, which is possible, but pretty hard. If you collect it 11 times, 5 gems. 9 times, 69 gems. 8 times, 136 gems. 7 times, 228 gems.

Getting there, should be possible:

the prices depend on the level of the account? , if not, can someone tell me why in an account with more items collected the price is higher?
Account 1:
Account 2:

@dfx
No . don't think so but have no explanation for the photo either

@dfx
Unless one gold is worth more than two feed and a hatch, doesn't make much sense. What are the levels for each account?

My current cost is 111 gems with 57/38/3/9/9 @ lvl 57

That's correct. Gold matters most in progressive island. There're 20 more gold items while feed only left with 9. So one gold item costs much more than a feed item.

@dfx as is stated by @skeelmaster gold tokens are the most important ones, thats why there is a difference as soon as you collect your 57/77 in the first account (not gem it) it will be looking much more logical.

I can give you an example with Hirondeleor: the 1st gold token if it was a single one you could collect it would take off 24 gems, the last one (55) will be worth 1 gem, this is different for each monster node

@dfx
Let's calculate the cost of Alpha Cliviast for ourselves.

Account 1:

Gold items cost 1+2+4+5+7+8+10+11+13+14+16+17+19+20+22+23+25+26+28+29+31=331 gems.

Food items cost 1+2+3+4+5+6+7=28 gems.

Hatch items cost 3 gems.

Breed items cost 3 gems.

Total: 365 gems.

Account 2:

Gold items cost 1+2+4+5+7+8+10+11+13+14+16+17+19+20+22+23+25+26+28+29=300 gems.

Food items cost 1+2+3+4+5+6+7+8+9=45 gems.

Hatch items cost 3+4=7 gems.

Breed items cost 3 gems.

Total: 355 gems.

You can already see that account 1 is cheaper. We can also apply the "discount" of 66% that comes with Alpha Cliviast's node:

365 gems*0.34=124.1, rounded up is 125.

355 gems*0.34=120.7, rounded up is 121.

And so, now you know how to calculate the cost of every node and you can start making how to spend your gem posts instead of me.

There hasn't been such a boring ML event in a long time. The event seems to target those players that will spend thousands of gems on these two new monsters. But who would spend so recklessly, especially when the cell week is on and you can get cells of top monsters at affordable prices? I mean, what kind of event is this if the intelligent thing to do is to NOT participate? Very strange

Oh okay, thanks you all for your answers, i think i got it now, and in the end I think I'll get alpha and the 10 elementium without paying gems, However, I agree that it was a somewhat silly event, i mean, to get one of the new monsters, you would have to invest way too many gems, for monsters that in my opinion are not so good either.

Felt same way in beginning, but for someone who spends minimal gems, the last two legends have never been attainable. Just spent 10 gems to finish Alpha Cliviast (had 6 gold remaining) for a total of 49 gems. Seeing how there's still 18hrs left, could have paid even less, but it's the fourth so good enough.

I agree, typically the monsters at the end of progressive islands are not obtainable without spending gems, but this one seems is excessively expensive, I took it out as a brake after the race.

@Francisco-Franceschi It did seem to be more expensive this time. Even though I never get more than 2nd legend, seems I usually get it much sooner than 18hrs before end of event.

I'm proud of myself. Not one gem spent... fit my two useless epics... lol

I completely missed the event, but I finally graduated.

@keki14 congratulations thats great

@keki14
Though it is off topic but congrats

@keki14 Congrats on both things!

Graduated from Monster Legends? Congrat!

@SkeelMaster University, but thanks.
