85 Magic Stones costs $59.99 using whatever bizarre currency conversion playing JP PAD on a US iPhone induces. Same as the US version I guess.

Yea but if you're playing a Japanese version of the gane, then 85 magic stones doesn't cost $60, it costs some amount of Yen doesn't it? There's no way the price of stones in Japan is tied to the US dollar and constantly fluctuates so that it always remains exactly equivalent to $60 USD

 

[ToxicAdam]

The Yen is actually a lot stronger than the dollar right now. So it could be even worse for japanese players.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Found the yen amount on the iTunes Store; it's ¥5,200 for 85 stones, which at the current exchange rate is 56.19 USD. Which means that guy spent around $3,966.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Ahh, thanks! I was thinking it would actually be way more, because stuff usually is due to the exchange rate.

 

[Cosmo Clock 21]

Managed to barely squeak by the evo material for my Succubus, which freed up enough box space for my final two rolls.
Shaitan and Indra.

Looks like I was 1/7 on hitting something on the Godfest/Murakore list. Could have at least given me some of those sengoku knights, PAD...

Not looking forward to collecting all 12 Violet Demon Masks to evolve my Vampires.

 

[Smiley90]

GungHo are such trolls. Have all weekday dungeons on 2x drops... Except Friday, where I need most "rare" drops from. -facepalm-

the x2 daily dungeon thing actually started last friday

 

[Smiley90]

the x2 daily dungeon thing actually started last friday

... for real? damn. I take it back, then. I need sprites. Mostly, I need coins atm though. Still broke :lol, can't evolve my monsters without coins

 

[raiot]

I didn't realize you could actually get NOT A SINGLE drop from the ADK dungeon. No knight, no demon, no moneychest, NOTHING!

 

[Nista]

Huh seriously, it's another metal dragon day and no x2 on sprites? Meh, maybe I should run dragon guardian today instead.

So how many should I keep to evolve up to ADK? 2 or 3?

 

[Caerith]

Question. I got a Lil White Dragon from a gift exchange, and am working on leveling/evolving it towards its ultimate form (Lightning Holy Dragon). Right now, it's on its second form (White Dragon), which has the same skill as the first form-- both use Flash Ball. I'm getting close to evolving it to its third phase (Holy Dragon) where its skill will change to Thunder Ball, before I can evolve it for the last time to get its ultimate skill (Holy Ball).

Okay, so that's clear, it evolves three times and changes skill twice, right?

I just got a second Lil White Dragon. I know I can feed it to my current White Dragon for a chance of skill up, because they both use Flash Ball. If I get Flash Ball to level 2, will the skill level carry over? I know it carries over when the skill is the same (for instance, I fed a Naga to a Naga then evolved her and still have level 2 Menace), but will the skill level carry over when the skill changes at evolution?

TL;DR version: should I evolve two Lightning Holy Dragons and feed them to each other, or should I feed a bunch of Lil White Dragons to each other then evolve into Lightning Holy?

Can we all agree that the droprate in the ADK dungeon are much worse than on day 1? I gathered 6 that day, and none after that. And alot of people had the same problem.

Ran it 10 times the first day, got exactly zero stone knight drops, ran it randomly once yesterday and got 1. I think theyre the same.

 

[Boken]

Spent 6 stones to get 2 hera and a dark mystic knight. Its definitely pretty easy with a valk team

used 1 on refill because first floor was two demons on the same counter and 5 on stupid mistakes like zoning out and not healing, accidentally touching my screen so not healing and assuming two devils wouldnt one shot me... ugh

overall pretty good i guess. though im at 0 stones now....

 

[ToxicAdam]

Unfortunately no. It doesn't carry over once the skill changes.

You may want to save that second lil white dragon for the future to create a second Holy Ripper. They are very useful and you will encounter many 'all-dark' dungeons.

 

[Yaari]

Does anyone know on what day the Tech dungeon gets the droprate boost? I mean the Noble Tech one. I am running out of time to get him, need to do it during those improved odds. I guess Hera might be an awesome new addition to my team there.

Same question for the ADK dungeon. I want to put some stones into farming that, but only during the improved rates.

 

[Radav]

Your best bet would be this weekend sometime for either. Although last weekend I don't remember the tech dungeons getting an increase at all. Luckily for me I just happened to grab my noble mech without it.

Damn I was really hoping for jewel dragons I need a rather large number of emeralds and a couple sapphire to level up some stuff. My crazy goodluck this week continued last night when I maxed the skill on my 2nd siren after dumping less then 20 goblins into it total. This was quite nice to see after the first one took me at least 70 or more.

I was kind of shocked to see that one of Hera's evo mats is a King metal dragon. Actually, all of her mats were kind of surprising. Only 2 Dark Keepers, 2 Divine Masks and the King.

 

[commish]

Got my Hera, under 10 stones (I think 7? 8?) which I expected, since I was doing the Odin + Ammy method and had under 16.5k HP (meaning Hades would 100% kill me when he hit). Was actually very easy, if you're willing to spend the stones. Time to farm dragons. Would have been better had I not mistakenly picked a stupid green dragon.

 

[MMBosstones86]

Metal Dragons again? dammit Gungho! I farmed the hell out of plants yesterday and I demand some Jeweled Dragons!!

side : Best place for Mythlits is friday dungeon adept...or is there something better? I knew quite a few...

 

[ccbfan]

Well 0 for 10 for the double rainbow spirit. (Including 0 for 8 from last weeks 2x drop)

I feel like I have to hit every extremely unlucky point in this game for it lets me go on.

 

[J0dy77]

I love my enchilada. She's a life saver in many battles.


I just wish I had 2.

I've been running Witche's ball heavily since the 2x drop last weekend, still haven't found either Witch. I will have her. Does anyone know if there are better drop rates for either lilith or enchilada outside of witch's?

 

[ToxicAdam]

The tech dungeons have them, but the drop rates are pretty poor and they never have 2x events.

I got my Naga during a 2x event in the Fire mech dungeon.

I'm waiting for the Dark mech dungeon to get my Lillith. I ran witches ball 30-40 times and never got a drop. F that.

 

[Radav]

Ok so all I need is 2 sapphelits to evolve my 2nd Siren. Should I spend more stamina running the Friday dungeon in the hopes I get the 2 I need or would I be better off spending my stamina on the dungeon of water? I already ran the Friday dungeon 6 times to no avail. I'd rather not waist another 60 stamina to come up with nothing. I already have enough mythlits for what I need and I have plenty of the other colors of sprites.

IMO if you are searching for a specific kind its better running the first tier 3rd stage dungeons. You can run that twice for the same stamina and guarantee at least that *-lit will SHOW UP. Dropping is another story, but i've found it only takes a few.

Plus, you get less enemies that show up in each battle compared to the friday dungeon = higher change of the lit dropping.

Yeah Im thinking you're right. I wasted a boatload of stamina to come up with nothing earlier. To the Dungeon of Water!

I'm way passed the 30-40 mark but I've learned a lot of patience with this game. Witch's ball is pretty good experience at 2100+ exp for 9 stamina. It provides good feeders for the pengdras and I have the very very slim shot at the one of the ladies. I use it as my filler dungeon.

Congrats on your Odin evolve Adam, saw that on my friend list.

Made it through the Expert Friday dungeon this morning. Used a chaos dragon knight with my siren leader and ripper team. I really didn't want to come up with a gimmick team for it. Felt good to have enough burn to get through the 4th stage finally.

 

[MMBosstones86]

4 times through the friday dungeon w/ 0 Mythlit drops. I need like 6. This is going to be brutal

 

[MicH]

Got 3 Dub-Mythlits at the Friday dungeon and decided to my first ultimate evolution! I actually did three, and they're so much more awesome than their original form.

Now I'm gonna put all my attention towards the Noble Mech dragon. I need it, I will be so sad if I it goes away and I don't get it seeing as I put so much time and stamina into it

 

[MMBosstones86]

^ i hate you.

but seriously, super cool man

 

[Tonner Cyn]

Running the regular Friday dungeon right now. I needed 3 rubylits, got 2 real fast and then went about 5-6 tries before I got my third. I also need 5-6 mythlits. I was all excited because of the 2x drop rate until I noticed that it was no longer there . I have pulled 3 of them at least and am about to move to the expert dungeon.

if you need a specific one, try the first tier dungeons. Less monster = higher rate of *lit drop for half the stamina.

 

[Tonner Cyn]

Yeah, if all I needed was the regular lits that is what I would do. I needed some mythlits though (got all but 2) and now I need some dubs. I haved managed to get 3 to drop but only 1 is a color I needed. 2 dub-amelits and I can dual-color my evolved Neptune!

 

[Mashing]

I almost made the same mistake, lol. Farmed about 100 emerald dragons and pengdras planning to pump them all straight into Odin. Maxed him out and was ready to evolve him then I was like OH SHIT WAIT. Luckily I caught it before I evolved him. Instead I used the rest of those pengdras for my GED and my Wind Mech. Don't think I'll be able to support Awoken Odin until about rank 130 or so.

How do you farm that much without spending a crap load of stones?

 

[cpp_is_king]

4 times through the friday dungeon w/ 0 Mythlit drops. I need like 6. This is going to be brutal

ii ran the normal friday dungeon 8 times and got 4 ;( but in all of those 8 runs, i didnt get a single green one, which is what i wanted

 

[cpp_is_king]

good question, let me know if you figure it out

in all seriousness though it doesnt require THAT many stones. the higher your rank is, the further a single bar of stamina goes. But 10 stones a week on stamina is probably par for the course if im really pushi g. Then ill take it easy for a while and not spend any on stamina

 

[MMBosstones86]

ii ran the normal friday dungeon 8 times and got 4 ;( but in all of those 8 runs, i didnt get a single green one, which is what i wanted

so tell the game I need some green ones, got it. Thanks!

 

[xelios]

I went ahead and got a second Hera as well. Went into the dungeon before I went to sleep last night and finished it when I woke up today. Need to do Friday dungeon for several evolutions but I'm lazy and also don't want to spend stones to refill stamina...

 

[MicH]

Three runs through the second level in the fire technical dungeon and no Pengdras. Damn it, give me dem Pengdras!

 

[Radav]

12 runs in Dungeon of Water and 1 sapphelit drop.... ugh.

 

[Caerith]

Are any of the dark-element eggs from the rare machine really good, or should I hold on to my stones for when it changes colors again?

 

[TimeKillr]

Yeah sometimes it takes forever for them to drop in those dungeons.

I decided I was going to do the light mechdragon on technical master. I only had to spend one stone, on the evolved chimera fight, when the bastard bound my light ripper for 4 turns and completely disabled my 50% light damage reduction, then one-shot me. I figured I had gone that far and couldn't really go back!

My team is my holy light ripper, an evolved Lilith, a rainbow keeper (that eats up a TON of cost but it's saved my life more than once), my green ripper (because you always need 20k more damage!) and a Myth-dublit because, well, it has a 1 cost and I had 2 cost left after the rest of my characters.

In retrospect I could've probably better spent the cost from my lilith, which as awesome as she is, is not *that* useful in this dungeon. My echidna would've probably served me better.

Those damn harpies are stupid annoying, though. Hit hard, on a one-turn timer, and can bind all my dark? Ugh.

I'm on the 9th level fighting 2 light carbuncles that can heal themselves. Can they heal themselves more than once?

 

[cpp_is_king]

Hades and Yomi are good, but you could also just wait for a god event and get them from there, along with other good stuff

 

[ToxicAdam]

Nope, only once.


Who is your helper on this run? I hope you have double reduction, because the Light Mech is going to rip you open once he does his consecutive attacks.

 

[Caerith]

Thanks. Are Ammy and Valk the only really good gacha-exclusive eggs?

 

[blackflag]

No, there's a bunch.

 

[TimeKillr]

Nope, only once.

I'm running with my Holy Lightning Dragon as my main, and my helper is a good ammy from a guy on SA.

I'm getting healed for 1600+ a turn, and I'm only in actual danger if there's no possible hearts 3+ turns in a row. So far he's down to half health and it's just been a breeze, just VERRRRY long.

I hope I get the drop!

And... drumroll...

So... I ended up burning like 8 stones on the boss, but GOD DAMN it was worth it.

I'll make some people hate me, but this was my 2nd attempt on him overall. I did one adept one and one technical master one and got it.... I can't use him for a little while but it'll be really cool when I can.

 

[cpp_is_king]

Thanks. Are Ammy and Valk the only really good gacha-exclusive eggs?

Most of what people think of as the best endgame stuff is all gacha exclusive. The Mystic Knights, the Healers (Lilith, Alraune, Siren, Archangel, Echidna), Vampire, and the ripper dragons (Lil' Black Dragon, Lil' Red Dragon, etc) are probably the only good endgame monsters that AREN'T gacha exclusive.

What about the metal dragons? Granted their cost is insanely high, but they have incredibly good stats.. They pretty much define endgame... (that said since I just got one I'm being a bitch and I want to use him but my total cost is like 68...)
