I put my Heavenly Neptune up just now if you want to use it.
That's good advice, thanks. Not worth pulling when you're only missing a handful. Odds are it'd take hundreds just to get what you're looking for. At least with a patch there'd be a bigger pool of ones I'm missing. I'm missing Hades, Venus, Thor, Ceres, Idunn(a) and Freyr that I know of from the gods.
Yep! That was exactly my reasoning for going with him first. I got another Neptune and Minerva luckily so I can end up doing both, but I went light element with both first. I've yet to skill up my ADKs, skill level 4 sounds nice to me. I have managed to skill up my Echidna several times.
you have Hera, which is almost as good. dont feel bad about not pulling, i dont. theres actually 2 monsters i want - yomi and hades. but im not pulling again until the update, because i know ill blow at least another few hundred dollars after the update, and maybe ill get them (or something better) then

^^^ FYI, Heavenly Neptune is the only monster with 50% Light/Water reduction. It's the reason I'd rather have that over the Water/Dark Neptune if I could only have one, because Drawn Joker also has 50% Dark/Water reduction.
Damn this game. My ADK's been sitting on skill level 4, and I've been farming the Dragon Guardian dungeon all day. Fed it 8 Mystic Stone Knights so far, and nada! I'm definitely not even going to bother trying to skill-up my second ADK, unless we get a 2x drop event for the dungeon.

Finally! Took a dozen Mystic Stone Knights to get that last skill-up.
It's up, was doing Friday dungeons real quick to empty my stamina, sorry.

Korea has announced that it's getting upped DIRECTLY to 5.0 in March. They are on the same version as we are, AND they were released on the app store after we were.
So I think we're probably getting upped around the same time, and it hasn't been announced yet.
Get your wallets ready.

Where can I find this schedule for each day? Is there some kind of website?

Decided to spend the afternoon doing only normal dungeons and seeing how far I could get. Really pleased with the Odin I pulled during Godfest, as it allowed me to progress all the way from Oceanus Falls through the end of Tower to the Sky. That's 5 entire dungeons cleared, so 5 more magic stones! So now I'm sitting at the first level of Ocean of Heaven, and will probably try it in the morning and see how far into it I can get.
Nothing seems to be really getting that much harder, the bosses are just taking a lot longer, and you have to be ready to burn all your skills on the pre-bosses or even sometimes on trash monsters.
6 more dungeons to go until I'm at the end! I think Ocean of Heaven is where King Gold Dragons start showing up, so that will be nice.
BTW, has anyone EVER had a King Metal Dragon drop in the normal dungeons? I see them somewhat regularly, maybe encountered 10 in total now, and not a single one has ever dropped. Really frustrating.

I've been using a dual ADK team for pretty much the whole game, but it's not cutting it for the highest tier dungeons, because the bosses are as tough as special dungeon bosses minus the technical skills(thank god). I've since switched to using Awoken Odin as my leader with double Heras and 2 rippers of whatever is strong against the dungeon. My Heras are only at the base level 6 that I acquired them at, but that doesn't matter for their active skill which saves a lot of time on the bosses. The only real danger are the bosses that come in multiples and have the same countdown timer. I'm currently on the last level of Junos Island, which is the second to last normal dungeon. Gonna call it a night, because I ran out of Amaterasu friends. Guess I should have raised my Ami instead of Odin. She's a hell of a lot cheaper to roster(less than half the cost of Awoken Odin), and I have way more Odin friends than Amis.
As for King Metal Dragons. Yeah, I've actually gotten quite a few from farming Oceanus Falls for Marine Goblins and Mermaids. That dungeon is a treasure trove during 1.5x drop events. I've also gotten 3 Mystic Masks and one King Gold Dragon from the normal dungeons. The dungeons with the King Gold Dragons aren't a walk in the park, though, so I'm hesitant to try farming them. I'm just trying to get through them once, for now.
This is great news. Maybe we can ask for news aswell now, since apparently Korea announces updates ahead of them actually happening.
Thanks again. I would have never got past Ocean of Heaven w/o your Neptune.

Or it could just mean the Korean localization group is faster than the US localization group. The Koreans probably do less cosplay at the office.
So my Noble mech Master plan was a fiasco. Couldn't get enough heal orbs to heal myself up and had to scramble around to get enough heal every turn in the end before there was no more left. Oh well, it's alright. Will perhaps run a few expert runs tomorrow, but I'm gonna focus on the Dragon Guardian today.
Also I got around to evolve my Amatereasu Yay!

Yay!All the stats for the enemies can be found here: http://puzzleanddragonsguide.com/noble-mechdragon-dungeon/
Edit: Yesss! Scored a Succubus out of Polar night tower.
In comparison to the other mech dragons, Noble was probably the easiest. I ran it with a Ceres, max skilled Siren, dark ripper, two rainbow keepers and a light ripper as the other leader. I think I had about 12000 hp.

Looks like today is dragon guardian day. Will probably spend as many stones as i need to ro max out my second one (currently have one @ lv. 4). So im hoping i can knock the whole thing out in about 15 drops

Someone on the PAD forums said it would go 2x at noon. He didn't cite a source though. But if it does, I'll definitely skill-up my second ADK. 15 MSKs for 6 skill-ups sounds pretty wishful though. The last skill-up for my primary ADK took 12 MSKs for just the last skill-up.

For those that didn't already know, I just learned a new tip for Pendra raising. Pengdras need about 2550 exp to reach max level. Unless I have a bunch of fodder material from other dungeons, I usually feed them whatever else I get from the technical dungeons while farming them. The majority of fodder being Chimeras and Carbuncles. 1 Chimera and 1 Carbuncle of the same element is enough to max out a Pengdra. But evolved Carbuncles are rarer drops than Chimeras and I usually end up with just Chimeras to feed when the Carbuncles run out. But 2 Chimeras only provide 2400 exp, so it takes 3 Chimeras to max a Pengdra, and it goes over the 2550 exp needed by quite a bit, making it wasteful. Well I just discovered that if you feed 1 Chimera to another, it raises it to level 6, and that provides 2400 base exp or 3600 exp for the same element. So, it only takes 2 Chimera to max a Pengdra if you feed 1 Chimera to another before feeding it to the Pengdra. A 50% increase in efficiency!
Awesome!! Thanks for this tip
Can you please put up your 50 resist light pet ? I want to try noble master.

I absolutely crashed and burned on master it was pathetic
what setup did you use? i had good success with light resist/healer and then a bunch of rippers

for red green and blue, pal machine is the only way. for white/black, pal machine and mech dragon dungeons
Lightning Holy Dragon leaders, Chaos Devil Dragon, Siren the Enchanter, Echidna and Rainbow Keeper. Couldn't get enough Heal orbs when I was up against two Devils/Demons who attacks every turn. I'm afraid it wouldn't have been better with only one resist, of course the autoheal would be very nice.
Oh well, I just did a run through Dragon Guardian expert and got two Mystic Stone Knights. Yay! No skill-ups though...

The red, green and blue lil dragons can appear in the other dragon dungeons. We'll probably start seeing them after the dark mech dragon dungeon. All lil dragons can be gotten from the normal dungeons too as boss drops but chances are pretty slim.
When you are in master levels you have to recharge your skills on every level you can. That way if you run into a setup like you faced you can unleash them to whittle them down to a more manageable amount of damage. Then recharge those skills again.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank xelios's Sea Deity Heaven Neptune, without whom I would not have 50% resist against light on Master
He said you're welcome and congrats on getting the noble mech!
I've kind of lost the oomph to play this game for the moment. I have too much invested financially to quit (sounds stupid) so I guess I'll wait 'til the huge update. Plus I have some major health stuff coming up this week so it's difficult to focus on anything else. Can't even find the energy to skill up my ADKs during the 2x.
Will keep rotating leaders here and there, hope everyone else has fun.

Obviously you need to roll an account on the JP version to keep things lively.
Only if I can buy lots of stones there too, obviously!

PAD hard mode; no stones, jewel dragons only ever happen while you're asleep
Archangel leader, Naga, Wood Mech Warrior Asgard, Rainbow Keeper, Dubmythlit, xelios's dual element Neptune
The first four pretty much ensure you can't die as long as you activate your skills wisely and Regulus doesn't spam super claws repeatedly.
