Hints for newcomers to the Tales (this is my 2nd one).

1.  Don't start immediately, there is time to prepare (Amass as MUCH food as you can you are going to need it, wait for the data to come up so you have the right dragons to breed etc (Last time I needed to evolve my Night dragon to level 4 so I could do the required breeding).  Don't know what they will require this time around for breeding stock.

Time for me to shift from Rushrooms (1 hr: 300 :26000 coins ) to Upgrapes (10 min:100: 8000 coins) : Yield Hourly with 7 Enchanted farms 2100 vs 4200 units. Need to click through every 10 minutes to optimize. Last time I needed to generate something like 200,000 (?) food to get everything lined up.

2. Clear your Nest(s), Breeding platform(s) , Evolution chamber and Spell Shop (OK to use them but keep track of timing bottlenecks). Don't want to be evolving that Diamond,  Justice or Virtue dragon right now.

3. It is OK to preevolve the dragons ahead of schedule as long as you pay attention to whatever feeding sessions you require later (that is one reason to wait until the info is published before starting out).

4. DO NOT terminate any crafting, breeding or feeding tasks before you are in the appropriate Chapter/Act. You will NOT be credited. It is OK to begin these tasks ahead of time but DO NOT release the material until the designated time.

5.  After you finish a Chapter you will have a waiting period of as long as 24 hrs before the next chapter will begin. I don't think expediting to the next Chapter with gold is a good idea because you will still have to wait until the next one is ready. If you are starting REALLY LATE and have missed 2 days then it might work out to spend gold to catch up (don't know how one such player fared last time)?

6.  Hope to H that they don't start another bloody tournament today ;-))

7.  Create a detailed game plan. I used Excel to create a chart which helped me plan what to do at any specific time and it really helped to keep things organized.

I'll edit and add to this if other things occur to me. I will also post my chart when I have the data filled out.

Good luck one and all.
