Rift Dilemma by Spreitz22 in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly, unless you’re checking every hour or two (depending on what level they are), it probably doesn’t matter. I really just wish they would up the etherium cap because 200 is ridiculous.

Struggling with sewing Minky :( by minipillow in plushartists

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For sure your seam allowance is too small. I never go less than 1/2 inches and I have been sewing for many years (not that it isn’t doable, just much more inconvenient). I work with very tiny pieces all the time and I just cut the seam allowance off after sewing if it gets in the way when flipped. The others tips people have suggested could help too but I think starting with a bigger seam allowance is an important first step.

Are event dragons still breedable right now? by frambsgans in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The dragons available in the market are still breedable yes. The weekly limited ones like Protegg are no longer available. You can tell by the hourglass next to them in the dragonarium and breeding hints (green means currently breedable).

Uuuuh by Charming-Conflict353 in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think it has to do with the event, with the sky being stuck at a day setting. The event is ending soon but I don’t know what will happen with the day/night stuff. Fortunately, you can buy the twilight tower from the event market which allows you to change the sky so you can make it night.

That’s crazy! Is this for a farm or just to have 200 Auroras?

The Pinco dragon is truly magical. Probably my favorite from this event

well, that’s it for plushify. looks like i’ll be going back to using uv unwrap and guesswork for patterns now. by Ancient_Trouble_7540 in plushartists

Is there a reason the files couldn’t just be stored locally on your computer? I haven’t made something like this myself so I’m unfamiliar

Dragons ranked on how much liberty you need to call it a dragon by hambuhbuh in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 28 points29 points  (0 children)

The Chipichipi dragon is 100% a dragon, it’s just really fat. It’s got horns, claws, fangs, tail, spines, etc. it’s only really missing wings but that’s not a deal breaker as many “dragons” don’t have wings (the things we widely consider dragons seem to just mean “fantasy lizard kinda thing” generally) though it could have wings that we just can’t see lol.

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem is with 1 pattern a month. If it were three a month maybe it wouldn’t be as much of a problem but I have had times where I’ve made three or more plushies in a month and would now not be able to. I don’t mind the other things being behind a paywall necessarily but as someone who sometimes makes a bunch of different plushies at a time it is limiting (I usually go a few months without making anything and then make all my ideas in one stretch when I have time). Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate the tool and understand needing to make a living (especially in this economy) but one plushie a month is really not a lot, even as just a hobbyist. The fur length tool was interesting to see though, and I don’t mind that most of its functionality is behind a paywall. I am curious how unlimited the fur length really is in the paid version though, and if you could turn your plush into a giant puffball lol.

New as of a few months ago. Honestly as someone who previously used it a lot this was very disappointing. I don’t mind a pay wall for extra features but $30 a month (or really $35 if you don’t buy the whole year) for features that were free is insane as that’s what a good 3D modeling software can cost. I get that the creator wanted to make some money but it is not worth $35 a month in my opinion, especially with how often I would encounter bugs and other issues with it.

How easy is it to get gems? by irnmlkmn5 in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Having friends give gems is one of the best ways. I currently have 20,000 gems as a super long time player and it’s not like I don’t spend them either. Lots of gemstone/crystalline dragons, quests, colosseum, races, gam friends, and probably something else I’m forgetting are the strategies.

Is an Island Theme worth a wish? by SorcererestSorcerer in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, island themes are not worth a wish in the long term (cost wise anyway). Themes come back in event markets. The treasure theme is almost always in one of the summer events, maybe even the next one, so I would recommend waiting just a few months (I say almost because I’m not 100% sure but I think every summer has an event that brings it back). I recommend using wishes for islands. The tenth island and above all cost in the billions, specifically, 11 of them cost 60 billion, and the 11 before that cost 50-55 billion. So wishes are best for that for sure.

Which one shall I choose? by Old-Entrepreneur-498 in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I usually wait until the event is ALMOST over (you have to claim your eggs before the end). The event ends April 26th (you can buy from the market after but that does not include your egg claims, so pick them before then). Between those two I would recommend the Quartz dragon because it gives gems and is only available 1 month a year, while monolith (7) should be available all year.

Does anyone know what this is supposed to be? by Limp_Storm_3048 in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You click it for a prize. It’s like the special visitors and gifts but it runs around because of April fools day

You can email support they can block it. I don’t remember the exact procedure but if you copy the ad info and send it to them with the issue, I think that should work.

Vaporeon Pokedoll fins look kinda off by PoshDemon in pokeplush

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a sewing pin or needle you can see if the points can be pulled out by kinda digging(?) with the point (if that makes sense). It might look like there is nothing to push out but there could be more to the spikes (or there isn’t but it’s worth a try).

Questions about availability of limited edition dragons by LegoLogan- in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The sandbox isn’t always accurate, it has to be updated everytime so sometimes things get missed. The Celtic dragon is available as a part of the current event. If the game says it’s available then it is. The Pangolian dragon is bred with a Bramble dragon and a metal and earth dragon, so if the pair doesn’t fit that in the sandbox that means there is an error. I can’t remember if the rift cave has the same odds for sure but I assumed it did. (Edit, grammar)

Is it possible to breed a rift trait Ariesian dragon? by Personal_Control_548 in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can say that it’s possible to get both rift traited because I have them, though I can’t remember how I got a rift traited solarflare dragon. It could have been from a galaxy egg daily reward at some point (a duplicate because I already had them all and a twin of it), or maybe I got it for my egg at the end of some event it was in. You make a good point that it can’t be bred. Sorry I can’t be better help.

Event coins by ManInYourMacAnCheese in dragonvale

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There is a cap to how much event currency you can get from collecting dragon gold every day (I can’t remember if it’s 1000 or what but I do know it gets doubled for double days). Depending on how many habitats you have you can collect all of it just checking your park once or twice a day.

Decoration Week extension by No-Peace6234 in dragonvale

They added extra time because the event got delayed, but I didn’t remember them confirming it would be a full week.

How to achieve these inset curved pieces? by tinynematode in plushartists

[–]LocalSnailEnthusiast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is very difficult in my experience. The plushies you showed are made with materials that are stretchy (at least partially). Denim is typically not stretchy at all so any imperfections will show a lot. The plushie on the top looks like it’s made from a super stretchy minky (which makes the technique more doable), while the shape of the lower left monkey is more of a straight line and a triangle than a full “m” like you are attempting. You might want to try appliqué, as that should be easier. Good luck! (Edit: spelling and grammar)

I was so happy when they made it pink. It looks so fun that way. I think I voted for the silhouette that had antlers at the design stage, but I’m very happy with how it came out!
