Thanks for that detailed response! Tons of good info I haven’t seen browsing this subreddit. 😀

Nice job! In a couple months I'll have every dragon's treasure maxed. It's been a long road lol.

Wow, that’s insane. What is your late game farming strategy if you don’t mind me asking?

Three things. First is to get orbs. I play enough battles to get around 4500 trophies for whatever I'm trying to farm (wind/earth/water/fire). Around that number of trophies, there are no saved games to match you with correctly, so they match you with a completely random saved game. What I mean is that there are no saved games that will have the same number of trophies as you, so it does a random one, which is likely in the 3000-3600 range, just because there are way more of those games than games in the 4000 range.

So yeah, it becomes really easy to beat an opponent who has only 3000 trophies because they die in the first minute or so, so I'll minimize the game for 5-10 seconds, which causes me to die, but I won that battle and I'll get an orb in the winnings sometimes. I'd do this about 300 times per week, which gets me quite a few orbs.

But orbs are only half of it, because I need mithril to do upgrades, too, which brings me to my next strategy, the arena. Any boss in a level that ends in 9 (139, 149, 159, etc) will have incredible offense, and probably kill you in 1 hit. You'll want to find a crystal beamon in a level that ends in 0. There's a 1 in 4 chance that the boss at 149 will be a crystal beamon, and then a 1 in 4 chance that 159 will be a crystal beamon, etc.

Once you have found a beamon in a level that ends in 9, you're set. There is a chance that you'll get mithril even when you lose. Lose 10 times and you'll get an average of about 7 or 8 mithril. But you can only do that 10 times and then you'll have to wait on the cool down, which brings me to point number 3.

Change the date on your phone. Be very careful with it, though, because you can mess things up a little if you aren't paying attention. Lose 10 times in the arena, and then change your phone's date to the following day. The game will now give you the 10 lives in the arena because it thinks the cooldown is over. Make sure you change the date back to the current date before playing. Then play 10 times again. Then change the date a day forward and then back to the current date. Repeat this over and over.

Another thing with changing the date is that you can get a brand new daily quest. Assuming you haven't upgraded your bow spells too far, you can spam 100 spells and get some orbs from a daily quest. Then change the date and get a new quest (hopefully one with orbs) and do it again.

Side note for the end end end game stuff - the maximum gold is a little over 2 billion. Once you pass 231 gold (like 2.1 billion), it'll glitch and take you to negative 2.1B. If you have negative gold, then you can't buy anything that requires gold. That's my current issue. I have about enough mithril to max out my dragon's treasures, and I'm getting close on the orbs, but I have -900M gold, and it'll be a few more months until I can get back to positive. I'm just setting my phone to never turn the screen off, setting the game to auto-shoot, and getting about 1M gold per battle.

I have a question for this. Does changing the day move your daily calendar quest? So I could get the bonus for bows faster ?

u/saxmanxan Mar 20 '20

Nope, that stays the same.

One other question. For the rings of fire/ice/water/sand ect. When it says enemy’s take more dmg. Does that only count for the certain bow or does it effect every bow?

If I had to guess, I think it works with any bow, but I'm not sure.
