Welcome to the community! The xmas dungeon is a bonus one that if completed all 4 weeks results in a legendary monster, so I'm guessing that's why the level of the first node is set where it is.

Secondly, and this one took my awhile to figure out, there are several dungeons available everyday. Make sure to scroll right and you should find your normal food and gold resource dungeon, but don't be afraid to attempt the others and claim what you can in them. Eventually your monsters will get strong enough to get through them.

My team is frustrated enough that we're struggling to get to 15 when we used to get to 25 laps.

I believe the pack offer has changed (I see light and magic offered today), but it contains one random legendary monster of that element, with a random rank betwewn 0 and 4. Personally, I would target the money on a specific monster rather than a random one. Have not been impressed with the ones my daily keys have produced.

I've assumed the wheel is rigged like everything else in the game. There are probably assigned % for each space.

I still attempt to breed for most events, but I've noticed my odds seem a little better every 3 events or so. So I ended up with someone about 2 back. Missed the last one, and have struck out on this one, although I've only tried twice so far. Next breeding event, I would expect to get something if I try a couple of times.

Hey, I'm still trying to figure out if I should get VIP chests to finish books...

Maybe the souls will alternate each month. Wouldn't that be nice?

With the rewards now visable, I'm generally happy with the free level with one exception. It feels like there should be something for completing the path. Something with a little value behind it. I'd love to see that be 1 vault key. Space is a premium, and even with making the decision to buy the new island, it's only a matter of time. One vault key a month means 2 1/2 spaces in the vault a year. It's not a huge difference, but a bone that would make me happy.

Clash of Clans started a 2 tiered month long prize path in recent months. Yes, the p2w players get the juciest prizes, but there are just enough along the free path to make it worthwhile. I'm hoping for something similar.

I've been trying to rank them to 5 and then sell many off. I've kept some favorites in each for now, along with several that my team favors for epic breeding during races.
