@Jackiesq :But would you want to unload 8 million coins for that habitat? I probably would at this point (My beasts give me almost 6M coins a day). I used to curse when an expansion uncovered a 800K or 900K tree, now I just mutter under my breath and wait the 24 hrs).  I recall waiting a month to clear the giant rock and nasty tree on the Dawn Tree Island, and had to save save save for those coins). Even so, I still can't justify spending 2M coins for a Stone Banner ;-).

I figure within 2 months I will have equiibrated to 99 Million coins the way things are going.

How long before that Gold granting dragon makes up for the initial outlay?

Say let's think big and go for the Treasure dragon (2000 gold) or small White Gold (1500 Gold). Let's also cut to the chase and assume we take them to Epic immediately so we start to get 5 Gold per day. Simple math yields 400 days /300 days for Treasure/Wt Gold respectively.

So, It will take a great amount of time for these beasts to break even. OTOH:  I have seen these beasts in Value Paks from time to time, making such a purchase a remote possibility at some point in the future assuming they show up in a VP when I have an extra 15-20 bucks in my coffers.
