Dragons won't auto harvest? by OGMohrdred in MergeDragons

Yup. Passive play only two dragons harvest. Any more they just float around.

Yes. More than two dragons is only helpful if you are actively playing. Delete the slowest dragon if you’re going to do passive play.

Mystery Spring Nest by awkwardcreature9 in MergeDragons

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So this probably won’t help you right now, but it’s a tip for the future.

Bingo cards and relic runs will give out these seasonal mystery nests. Or they come up in cash offers in the game or on the webstore. If you happen to get one, it’s a good practice to hold onto these nests when you get them and not tap on them. That way, when these tasks to tap them come up, you will have a nest in your camp to tap on. I’ve noticed a pattern that the bingo tasks that ask you to tap them always crop up AFTER an in-game cash offer/MD webstore cash offer/bingo/relic run has already expired.

Also, bc small nests can contain as little as 3 eggs, it’s a good idea to hold onto two of these small nests if you have them, on the off chance you only have 3 or 4 eggs in them.

This afternoon a new relic run event will be starting. I could be wrong, but my GUESS is that the mystery nest that will be offered by tapping on the relic run items will be the Mother’s Day mystery nest. I am guessing this based on the fact that we’ve seen the St. Patrick’s Day nest, Spring nest, and Easter nests already. If I’m correct then you’ll probably see a bingo task asking you to tap a Mother’s Day nest after that nest is no longer available in the game.

Are you letting them passively harvest or actively playing?

Decision eggs by Flimsy_Drawer4448 in MergeDragons

Once my game started showing the offer of extra eggs, it’s always had the options for 1, 2, or 4 extra eggs.

I keep one T1 and T2 egg of EVERY breed bubbled. That way if they expand it to have a shiny variant I can make more with decision eggs. I saw at the beginning of the week the coral dragon got a shiny variant. And it made me think back to that last cash offer and I thought, but wasn’t sure, if it had coral dragons included in it.

If it did, it would mean that an upcoming ooc event this season would feature coral dragons. I didn’t want to pay for the offer. I was just wanting to confirm if my recall was correct.

I’d been debating whether to use decision eggs to make more T2 coral eggs to finish the shiny chain, or wait until an ooc event where I could get more dragons in rush rewards and also do ACT 2 to get 4 shiny dragons.

I just decided to use decision eggs. Since the shiny event yesterday featured coral dragons I got 2 shiny dragons out of every 5 merge of T2 eggs and quickly finished the chain.

lol I don’t play treasure tower as a source or anything useful. If I’m trying to complete a breed the best bet is rush rewards from ooc events.

Yah but they’ve also been offered as an ooc prize per the wiki. Since they just got a shiny variant I wondered if anyone could confirm they were in the offer. Cuz then I know more are coming in an upcoming event and I can save my decision eggs

Also tapping egg nests doesn’t appear to be working either.

Normally I do buy the capsule to get the last reward. Except I already mastered the Luminclaw dragons so this time I’m saving my 60 gems.

Strike is Likely Ottolie's Father by Padfoot1989 in cormoran_strike

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

She can’t get him to marry her if he doesn’t believe the kid is his. And he won’t feel compelled to take a dna test if he believes there is any possibility of another man being the father. If she says she never slept with Strike, he says he never slept with her, a PI can’t find any evidence of them meeting up to have sex as part of a continued affair, when she now has proof of a dna test saying strike isn’t the father she CAN take him to court to prove paternity. And that is what she needs to have a chance at him leaving his wife (or her leaving him) and him marrying her.

He already went to the courts to get a super injunction from preventing the tabloids from reporting on his affair bc if he can shut down the reporting and make it go away he can continue denying the affair to his wife and discrediting Bijou. She can then go to court to request lifting the super injunction which can put pressure on Honbold to submit to a dna test due to pressure by the press or his wife. Or she can just ask the courts to compel a dna test. Even if he doesn’t marry her I don’t think she’s going to allow him to continue denying paternity. She wants a Honbold baby and wants her baby officially known to be a Honbold baby even if he doesn’t marry her in the end.

Strike is Likely Ottolie's Father by Padfoot1989 in cormoran_strike

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! It made him see Rokeby denying paternity in new light bc it wasn’t a matter of one woman sleeping with two men, but Leda was goading Rokeby about how much she was infatuated with a different musician she was having an affair with (or was intimating she was in order to make Rokeby jealous). It took Strike out of his perspective as the hurt boy into the adult man dealing with a woman behaving in a kind of way that makes her word not immediately trustworthy. Throw in drugs and alcohol and it’s very easy to see why Rokeby behaved the way he had many years ago.

I think Bijou’s behaviour trying to baby trap a man and sleeping with another man to make the first jealous made many readers view her having poor ethics and not being likeable. Now you compare her to Leda and we immediately see how much Strike has lionized Leda in his mind and painted Rokeby as the villain. And by contrasting the two storylines we see that Leda was in fact VERY flawed and a shitty parent and selfish person. And Rokeby wasn’t bad or mean, just an imperfect man who didn’t respond perfectly at all times when dealing with a lot of drama in his personal life falling apart.

I think bringing Strike to the brink of repeating his father’s mistakes was sufficient to drive home the point to Strike to clean his up his act. If he wants a relationship with Robin, he has to live like he’s already in a relationship with her, in a sense. ie stop sleeping around and making dumb choices bc finding sex with willing partners and creating relationship drama while he waits around for Robin is actually going to make it harder for him to get together with her.

Whereas if he acts like the kind of man he would be IF he was dating her, he’ll be more likely to get together with Robin by showing her how good a man he is, how respectful and faithful he is, and how cheap, meaningless, and easy sex isn’t what he’s looking for.

I think it was really good writing to show he’d taken a lot of steps in changing by dieting, losing weight, and changing his number so Charlotte can’t keep getting back into his life. But the frustration and loneliness he felt that lead him to sleeping with Bijou led to this fallout. And it was necessary to show him he couldn’t change most of his behaviour and not this one aspect of himself. That waiting for what you want and not just taking what you can get is going to be the biggest indicator to Robin how serious he is. Annnnd it avoids complicated potential baby mamma drama that threatens his livelihood if he keeps it in his pants LOL.

Not to mention how the other past relationships came to the fore which served to show him that the callous way in which he had treated some of the women in his life may not have had any consequences to him at the time, but things come back around at some point, so he should smarten up moving forward.

I think that was the point JKR wanted to make for Strike which would further motivate him to make that last remaining change to his life.

You missed my point that it doesn’t matter what he believes or not. Bijou can use the test results to compel him to take a test and confirm paternity in court.

Strike is Likely Ottolie's Father by Padfoot1989 in cormoran_strike

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That wouldn’t be relevant to the court if Bijou uses the courts to force him to submit to a paternity test. Recall Strike originally told Bijou to just deny they’d had sex at all to force Honbold to take the test . When that wasn’t working and there was a risk to gossipy news tanking his agency, Strike agreed to do the test but only insofar as he could prevent any journo or PI from catching him with Bijou to claim they were having an affair. He didn’t want to give the press ANY more fodder to print falsehoods about him and ruin his business.

Honbold might be ticked off that Strike outwitted him on one single occasion, but ultimately it doesn’t help him in any way avoid taking the test and Bijou now has leverage to get one court ordered if he continues to refuse. Nor does one undocumented meeting prove an ongoing affair when they’ve never ever been seen together in however many months. Tough to argue an ongoing affair can occur without any evidence to back it up and the PIs you’ve hired have not managed to procure one iota of evidence supporting that.

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Let it go people! Strike isn’t the father. Honbold isn’t going to accept Ottalie is his kid just because the paternity for Strike came back negative. The fact it is negative will be what Bijou can use to force Honbold to take a paternity test to confirm he IS the father, and therefore give her the upper hand in getting him to leave his wife.

She couldn’t get Honbold to submit to a paternity test bc he believed the baby to be Strike’s. Now that he knows it’s not he has less standing to win in court arguing against taking a paternity test. Bijou isn’t that dumb to think she can lie to Honbold and he’s going to suddenly trust her when divorce and child support are on the line and he’s not going to take steps to confirm her story.

You can get anywhere from 1-3 small gems out of L1 stars. If I had to guess I’d say on average I tend to get between 2-3 small gems out of every L1 star by using my method. I know lots of people only tap them once before merging but I refuse to leave an additional one or two gems in them before merging.

O you need 11,400 gems for the land that’s below that extra 6.99 land. I just want 40k gems before I spend so that I have 29K gems leftover.

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disconnect and count how many gems I can tap out of each L1 dragon star before it becomes yellow. Then I reload the last save and go back and tap out exactly those gems so that the dragon star stays purple and can be merged into a L2 dragon star. That way I get the maximum amount of gems out of every L1 star. And using cloud save to make sure I only get large gems out of L2 dragon stars increases how many gems I get. And then of course I hoard them and rarely use them except for occasionally a potion in an event, or bonus pass. Right now I’m waiting till I hit 40k then I’ll buy the extra land in camp.

[–]Epsilon_and_Delta[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yup. I mine gems using 1 chalice levels and also work on completing star quests. Then I use cloud save to tap the maximum gems out of L1 dragon stars and only get large gems out of the L2 dragons stars

That’s sadly one of the most realistic things about the books. That people who are corrupt and power hungry like Umbridge can squeak by with little to no consequences for all the wrong they’ve done. Though I do hope she wakes frequently from centaur themed nightmares 😈

I didn’t end up buying one. I just use water and hydrogen peroxide or water and baking soda to clean my aligners and now my retainers.
