I just tried it on Expert and it was very easy with an ADK team, I imagine even easier with a red team. Like the light dungeon before, there were 3 Dragon Knights at the boss stage, but they were very easy to defeat and I did get a Mystic Stone Knight drop. Two +1 eggs in the single run as well. Enemies were all wood element and consisted of Earth Knights and Taur Devils (not demons, so quite weak). I imagine there are one, two and three bosses for novice, adept and expert respectively, but I'm not 100% on that. Going to sleep now.

Sweet, so I'll probably go in with a multiplier and a healer and hope I'll be fine without reduction. Maybe I'll go single reduction for my first run. I have 0 stone nights, so getting one would be much appreciated so I can at least have ONE ADK for a 2xADK team at some point.
With a two week window you would likely have no problem maxing the orb change skill out on at least one of them, if not two.
Oh right, they're on an orb skill too, sweeeet. Are stone knights the only ones with that skill or is there an easier-to-farm drop, similar to Marine/Siren?

Got my ADK up to skill level 4 with just 5 runs of the expert dungeon today
Got zero knights on both Adept and Expert run
The light dungeon had a drop rate of roughly 1/5 on expert in my experience, so don't expect to get him at once
Can I add anyone with GED? I run a 85 Ohkami and GED right now most of the time. This Dungeon is EASY and on Facebook someone got 3 Stone Knights in a single run.
I love that he is also a rare encounter.
I am considering skipping my Rare Gacha rolls, and just restore Stamina for this Dungeon instead. If I can do 3 runs per stone, and possibly get a single Knight each time, it will still be more rewarding than rolling and getting crap.
GED users please add 360,045,207 Thanks!

Heh got 2 SK's in one run on adept, expert was too much for my light team
I think the worst thing you can do is play the gacha because you want something specific, chances are you won't get it, granted I want an Amu but I know its not likely to happen.
Edit:-- What is a GED ?
Seeing everybody pulling Shivas and Viper Orochis yesterday killed me.

I think that I'll spend all my stamina on the next days to get a Dragon Knight. My dragon team need this badly.
But expert is a real pain in the ass. I got the 3 Dragon Knight bosses syncronized, and died when they attacked. I need more hp, the 30% of wood resistance of my dragon is not enought.

Gravity Earth Dragon. I tried this dungeon without one, and with a Odin but nearly died. But the combination of my Amaterasu Ohkami and GED works great. I outheal the damage, I just need others' GED, because I dont have much people in my friendlist using them.
Note: the schedule for group C is right; however, the colored dungeons for others might be different. I'm still working on the mechanism of jewel dragons. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Heh, so it means that I should probably put my GED out today...
You're right in that.
What's funny is that everyone wants a Valk - I got a Great Valk (level 30 to boot) last week, so I can't really complain too much I guess.
So I did a few pulls yesterday. Not half bad!
I got:
Hino Kagutsuchi
Shiva
Vritra
Shaitan
Thanatos
Mermaid (Have a siren)
DRAGON KNIGHT (Yeah, just when the ADK dungeon shows up...)
Shardran
Toytops
Alraune (Already had one)
Cupid
Ivory Dragon Lvl 30
Machine Golem MK 2 Lvl 30
Also got 2 Mythlits, and 2 Dark Dublits from the Pal Machine.

64? As in $320 worth of pulls??

Interesting thing to note: PAD disables all menu items and won't let you back out of the pull screen. Accidentally initiated a pal pull thinking it still had a boosted chance for rare evo materials. Tried restarting the app to get out of it but the game dumped a li'l Red dragon in my box anyways. Could have been worse i suppose.

2 pulls of the rare egg machine yesterday and I got a Genie and a Fairlion, both level 30. Are these any good, or worth keeping for a start of a light team?
It was $200. I got ten $25 iTunes cards at Kohl's for $20 each, so that's $250 worth of iTunes monopoly money. Bought four of the 85 stone packages at $60, so $240. I splurged a little only because I had 40 hours of overtime at work last week.
I'm not knocking it! I am jealous
I just know my luck with this game (see my pulls above) so I am avoiding spending any real cash at the moment. Haha.I added you. I'll try to keep my GED up as much as I can today while I'm not playing.

I got my 6* Shiva up if anyone wants to use it for a Fire team to take down the Dragon Guardian : 397532290
i dont know that they the best part of a light team, but the fairlion great for resist and heal at 5* and the genie voids light damage while providing balance in all 3 cats.
even though they not amazing i dont know what you ask about keeping. if even never use dont feed to anything else. just keep em. buy some extra boxes save em or a rainy day when you have nothing else to level.
Genie voids dark damage but yea she is pretty good, having 2 x HP is the same as having 50% reduction.
Yea I would rather level up 2-3 ADKs instead of skilling them up, they should release a potion or something that you can buy with stones to guarantee a skill up. (there is a lot more they can do with this game in terms of IAP, including the addition of different gacha's both for pal pulls and rare pulls)
I can lend you my hades if its any help. He will be up in 5 min for next few hours!
Yeah I completely agree with you. I'd definitely plop down some money for something like that rather then spend hours and hours and come up with nothing.

anyone else not getting any PAL points pop-ups when they login? Haven't seen any for about 12 hours.
Just seems odd after getting friend spammed yesterday and seeing no pop-ups today.

Thanks, but I won't be able to play until tonight.
I get them just fine. No idea what the problem is. You didn't get it at 4 AM either?
I got a divine mask on the first floor. Dead (wasn't expecting that).
Is your game still in memory when you check on it? Have you tried a hard reboot yet?
I ran each section of the dungeon once and got two out of it. Once you have three knights/adk, the rest is just fodder for skillups. So far, from my experience and what others are saying the drop rate seems pretty decent.
Here is a good page on team building. It's mostly endgame, it will at least give you something to shoot for, maybe can be added to the OP.

I got 2 mystic stone knight doing expert. None for doing adept and novice.
I also want to know how many ADK I should try to get?

I'm pretty sure i got the points, but don't recall seeing a popup.
I've tried manually ending the process as well and restarting. Guess I'll try rebooting the phone and seeing. Or changing leaders
About half-stamina's worth this morning. I changed Leaders, see if that does anything. I guess the obvious answer would be, my leader hasn't been used. Just seems strange given how things were going yesterday
Thanks for all the help though guys!

Gonna attempt the obvious answer: have you played at all between yesterday and today? Apparently if you don't at least enter a dungeon your time counter won't reset.

seems like there was just no Shiva love. Seems we are all good.
So now that my stamina is gone, are there any 'PAD Clones' that are worth playing in the meantime? Played a little Tower of Saviors, but meh.

Shiva will be more helpful for the Wednesday and Friday dungeons.
Ok, I will leave him up for the night, don't have time to play tonight as its carnival here in germany!

true. Figured it was worth a shot if people were running a Fire team for the Dragon Guardian dungeon.
I guess since it lasts 2 weeks its not much a priority.
All of a sudden, that Dragon Knight I pulled from the Rare yesterday doesn't look so good....Trolled

You need to acquire a Dragon Seed (basically any of the first 5 dungeons (I believe) and have a Maxed Out Plessie (level up to 15 I believe?). Where are you on those 2?
I'm brutal at explaining things...
I've only ever played TOS. It never really gets any better than your first impressions of it.
It's a decent time-filler, with some player-friendly differences to PAD ... but that's about it.
You need to level it up to it's max. Then collect the materials that are required for it's evolution. Then Evolve it through the menu.
You can view what an animal needs to evolve by going through the evolve menu and clicking on that animal. The needed materials will be shown. If there is a question mark in one of the boxes, it means you haven't seen that material yet.
