Pretty nice haul. Should get 6* Amaterasu to roughly level 55 once I evolve her Tuesday.
Also holy shit no one told me you get rich from the gold dragon dungeon.
435 cards?

I'd guess a flat $100 given the # of boxes and remaining magic stones.
Edit: Gonna change that to $50 because I didn't realize how many dungeons there were.

I'd just want to thank everyone like you for subsidizing my gaming habits.
Thank you and Jesus H. Christ to you all.
Man, stop hating on me for loving the game! If no one bought anything it wouldn't be around.
I never keep track of that with anything related to gaming; I would only feel regret and depression. =p
That sucks. I've done the same, but to a semi-important evo material. Learned to favorite anything important from then on, even rare evo materials until you're ready to use them.
Need somewhere to keep all my colored dragons & evo materials. Plus I like to keep one of every monster. I've always hated inventory limits in games, so I appreciate that we can expand so much in this one. I am kinda bummed at the 100 max friend list though.

I just accidentally sold off my new Mystic Light Knight

I look at stones/IAP this way, if a game gives me 20+ hours of enjoyment for free ... then it would be shitty not to kick some money the developers way. That way I never feel guilty about buying it (virtual goods), because I am already way ahead.
PAD's probably given me 40-60 hours of enjoyment so far. So 5 bucks in stones was a small, small price.

This is how I justify my LoL purchases. -_-

By the way, I've read online that GungHo keeps backups of your account if you've ever made a purchase. So if you accidentally delete the app, and you've made a purchase, they can get your account back. If you haven't made a purchase, your account is probably gone.
Anyway, this is a gaming forum where people spend hundreds of dollars (sometimes more) a year on games. What difference does it make if it's a game you play on your Playstation or your iphone? Paying for a game is paying for a game

But LoL is SO free! (I try not to think of how mucg money I have spent on LoL, then I see my skin collection...)
I don't know if it was mentioned recently, but the gold metal dragons sell for a lot of money.
The crappy normal ones that give you 1k exp (1500 on light monsters) sell for $3k each. So if you get 7 during a gold metal dragon run, you can sell the lot for $21k.
Considering that normal monsters give me more experience than 1000-1500 where I am at (Castle of Satan), I have been selling all the low level dragons. Waste of money to use them for a power-up unless you are early in the game.
High Gold Metal Dragons give you 10k experience (15k for light monsters) and sell for $30k each.
King Gold Metal Dragons give you 50k experience (75k to light monsters) and sell for $300k each.
If you are short on cash, just sell the gold dragons. Yes, they give the best EXP to light element monsters, but it is only a 50% bonus over what you are getting from the regular metal dragons that can be easily farmed every other day.

And yet if everyone in this thread bought the app for $5-10 each they would have made much more I suspect.
I think you are a rare case in terms of how you have spent
I wonder why they never added light and dark pengdra's to the game, its almost as if light and dark elements were an after thought. lol
I think the bigger reason is that with a purchase it's easier to track your account, as opposed to the other way around where they likely have your account still in their servers but the only link to it was destroyed when you deleted the app.
Yeah I don't get the hate on paying for the game. Even if I wouldn't do the same, at $100 I don't see it as a big deal if I've spent a lot of time on the game.
Oh wow, didn't know that. If true it makes me feel a lot better. I back my saves up anyway, but having that option there is really nice (and it should be there, considering how much some people spend on this game).
Great second point as well. Many people view iOS games as free/$1 games, "mini games", not real games. If you find yourself playing a game for hours on end or on a daily basis and enjoying it (not only that, I even look forward to things in P&D) then it's a solid game no matter the platform. People set their own price all the time for what they're willing to pay, no different here. I can only think of a handful of other games I've played or will play as much as P&D (Baldur's Gate 2, Pokemon(s), Dragon Warrior VII (lol), Disgaea(s), roguelikes etc.)

I've spent $15 on this game, and I would have no problem spending more if I could find a deal on iTunes cards, haha. This game is probably my most played game in a LONG time.
So I cleared apprentice and adept on the Blades of Justice pretty handily even with my light based team but adept was getting a little hairier. I could go the defensive route and take a healer with me and try expert but I'm afraid of wasting the stamina. I did manage to get a second tier gold mask I was looking for to evolve my siren (now just need the stinkin little yellow evo materials) so that was nice.
I'd like the magic stone and any other drops from it but dammit, I don't want to miss the next gold dragon dungeon and I don't even know if I can do the expert level dungeon.

Nah Undine kinda sucks, you are better off rerolling.
I also just discovered 450 is the MAX # of monster boxes.
Depends on your team make up and where you are in the game I guess.
I haven't sold any of my high golds (haven't received any kings yet), however, early in the game $300k will go pretty damn far in developing your team. Especially if you don't have many light monsters. You can still use metal dragons of other colours on light monsters as well. It may not be optimal, but sometimes I have more dark metal dragons than I know what to do with.
To clear the final floor in Blade of Dungeons, you need to be able to withstand two 4000+ hits at the same time (whether that is through damage reduction, or a high HP total is up to you). You also need to be able to make up that damage pretty quickly, since the three boss monsters are on 3 turn timers. It's a big jump in difficulty from the adept dungeon.

Woot, just ran Blade of Justice on Adept and got 2 Mystic Light Knights.

if you power-up fuse correctly, money shouldn't be an issue. but thats too much for me to worry about. Pludering the weekending dungeon gives SO much money. Stamina takes too long to recharge as far as i know. What is it, like 10min/point?
canabalistic bastards
I'm guessing to try to skill up their active skill (dark orbs < light orbs) to take less turns to charge.
I just want one!! dammit.
Their final evolution has good boosting capabilities like 2 x RCU, 2.5 X ATK etc and they are a good orb changer.
Mystic knights change into ADK and CDK also.

Thsi was my third time running it. So hang in there. First two times I got squat. Third time in, the first pack of monsters had a knight in it, which if you encounter is 100% drop. And then another one dropped from the boss.
In addition to what others said, the leader skill is -30% light damage, which itself is pretty good I think
Is there somewhere I can read about this stuff in English, or are all the wikis/databases still Japanese only?
I use http://pd.appbank.net to look up monster stuff, but google translate is not so good at translating the strategy sections.

Join this group. They have an excel spreadsheet there with a fairly comprehensive monster book, it just hasn't made it onto a wiki yet

Got a +1HP Brachy and a +1HP Plessie. Plessie will probably get fed to my existing +4HP evolved version, but I think I will keep the Brachy despite having a level 30 Green Mech Warrior Asgard and a dragon knight.

You probably have 6 pending invites. Either that or the person you tried to invite is maxed.

Does one of the daily dungeons drop demon masks? I need a golden mask and don't want to do Blade of Justice again
Ohh. Just checked. You're right. Haha.
The dude got Alravne with Rondo of Healing, Greatly heals HP when Orbs are matched. Guess no one could reject him.
Thanks for the info on the expert level. I don't think I could manage that. I don't have a light reducer yet and even with the best helpers on my friends list I have barely 7k hp. Not happening.
Grind adept to get mystic knight ahoy.

My current goal is to get a power team to farm special dungeons. Mostly just saving stam for daily dungeons right now.
The random knights arent a 100% drop
