I hate TAMAs not being guaranteed drops on the rare encounters in Metal/Jewel dungeons. Not only do you rarely see them, but they almost never drop when you do. This was like the 5th time I've seen a TAMA on a jewel run and they've never dropped. Super, super evil on GungHo's part. Oh well, at least I got two kings and a super on my 2 runs. Got my Bast up 10 more levels.

They are super streaky. I've seen next to none since they came out and saw 2 in my 10 runs yesterday, one dropped.
Had 2 Rainbow Guardians drop in 2 runs, can't touch the game until Super Emeralds now 
Oh really ?
Last week I farmed it all day and got none.

Rainbow keepers? They are 100% drop on 2x days.
I thought they were 80% with 2x events?

drop rates for weekday mat dungeons are 50% on normal days and 100% on 2x.
Details here:

Last week tuesday was not during an event, so no 2x drop
Its recommended that you only farm for materials during 2x drop to maximize your stamina usage.
Pretty sure its 100%

10 rerolls I get my second super rare drawn joker :| why would I ever want to change attack orbs to heal orbs?
The % at puzzledragonx is wrong. It's 100% on 2x days.
Once you start playing the game you'll answer your own question oh fellow maverick :3
When you desperately need to recover health before a boss' next big attack, you sometimes need more heal orbs for an emergency heal.

Orb changers, especially heart makers, are great sub monsters for your team. Heart makers serve several purposes. First they let you stall on earlier levels so you can charge up your more powerful skills for the boss. Second, they provide a great way of managing your board, for instance if you want certain number of combos or to not make combos of a certain color. Finally, when combined with heartbreakers(skills that turn hearts into attack orbs), they allow for bigger burst damage versus bosses. They are really good when skilled up so you can activate them every 5 turns, but most of them are farmable and not at all a good starting roll.
Echidna is one of the best characters in the game if not the best but she's easily farmable and not a leader. Which is why she isn't on the list. You'll have lots of fun skilling her up along your journey, eventually.
A couple things, it can be used to give you extra healing when the board has no hearts and one more hit will wipe you. Or it can be used as a combination with heart breakers that turn hearts into a different color. Drawn Joker and Angelion are the two most popular mobs for this.

Took me 30 squids to skill up my Artemis, and now I have to get 2 more skill ups? ARGH!. At least the highest difficulty is really easy for Valk teams. Hopefully I will be able to get the last skill ups from dropped evolved ones.
Rolled a Hanzo last godfest, so Hamahime is alright, BUT purple chasers!
Change Dark to Hearts and then Hearts to Light for example.
Or Light to Hearts and Hearts to Dark in the case of Pierdrawn/Vampire.

Thanks for the advice, will do some more rolls after work
So after who knows how many leaks being fed to susano with no skillup, I just fed 3 and got 1 skillup then 5 and got FOUR skillups. What kind of sorcery is this? Susano is now maxed but I still never really use him. So happy to finally get rid of the leaks that were eating up my box space.

did you pray to #RNGesus?
In the long run it all balances out i suppose. Wait til you get 1/31 trolled skilling up gravity or something.
Yeah, I don't want to think about the repercussions this is going to cause. I may go 6 months without a skillup.
RNG so random and I'm jealous. A while ago I fed like 23 leeks to Susano and no skill up when I only need one more. Then again I'm that guy who got a SUPER when feeding my U&Y making it go 1 to 99 in a blink so it evens out.
Gungho is holding a survey in celebration of P&D's two year anniversary to choose the next three monsters who will receive ultimate evolutions.
If an ultimate evolution has already been decided or implemented it will receive a branch.
http://mobile.gungho.jp/news/pad/140205_sinka_anke.html
It is official so only one vote per account and i believe only players on the JP servers are eligible.

DAMN IT REM GIVE ME A GOOD STARTER IM SICK OF REROLLING QQ
I know the feeling. I didn't re-roll on my US account because I didn't know about what I needed. Luckily, I got really lucky during a Godfest and pulled Bastet, but it would have been super tricky if I hadn't. Just know you'll be saving yourself a ton of cash and grief in the long run by getting a good start.

The voting page separates monsters into series, so officially the toy dragons are Fancy Dragons and heartbreakers are Heroes (not to be confused with the Hero Gods). Bad Dragons aren't eligible so we'll never know their true name lol
If this is the case, maybe just play the game and wait for the next godfest (which should be later in the month) so you don't get sick of the whole thing altogether. I'm thinking you're not super serious, but it is an option.
Just a guess but I'll roll with Kirin, Byakko and Dark Meta to come out winners.

The good thing about dipping your toes in the water first is that the early stages completely fly by once you get a grip on the game. Back when I first started with a "sick of rerolling" starter it took me like a week to get past Castle of Satan. On my JP account with a better starter? Took me about a day.
also soiifjoifjwaoij32otu90uffwaofwejofwja i just got a tamababy out of JP PAL I hope this doesn't mean they are displacing full TAMADRA
The same happened with my Gabe.
First 9? (3 sets of 3). 0 skills ups
3/4 for a set of 4.
next 6 (2 sets of 3) 0 skill ups
2/5 in a set of five after that for final 2 skill ups.
Rem is Rem.
I got 4/4 with my Fire Golem once (After going like 1 for 20)

For IAP and people who have stones and dont pull rem anymore and 100+ stamina bar, super kings is the most stamina/time/box efficient way to farm for exp. You average around 225k per 50 stam IIRC, and with a proper team you can run it once a minute, You can feed the drops directly to your monsters too, so no cluttered box full of pengdras. You are basically limited only by the # of stones you use.
About twice a month, one near the beginning/end of the month and the other halfway through.
Let's hope not. I pulled 2 during this event from PAL and would hate to see good results like that netting no awakenings.
It is annoying, I duno why they don,t just put up all 5 elements for the hour and let players choose. Would probably make far too much sense.
Just tried a Kushinadahime out on my friends list and now I want one.
It really makes no damn sense why they are so stingy with gold dragons.
My theory is that the person responsible for US events and updates absolutely hates his job, so he decided to take it out on us.
No other explanation why we are even falling behind EU on certain things.
At first I thought they just really wanted to encourage you to stone during a once a month gold dragon event, but it's so infrequent it has to be something else. I like your explanation! Crazy that the US is behind the EU which is only a few months old.
Do EU get gold dragons more often though ?
Guess what needs gold kings to evolve now?
Meh so Gold Kings won't be made easier to get any time soon.
Guess what needs gold kings to evolve now?
Ha! They changed it to a normal gold dragon instead of a king
That's awfully nice of them. They could've wanted a super king and people would've complied.
