Just dropping in to wish everyone great progress. Chapter 6 for me tonight when the game ticks over at 6pm - or is it 7 now the USA turned back their clocks? Anyway, all on target for my island, food will work out, I only need to produce 10,000 a day to get there. I quested too often in preparation though and will have left over scrolls and memoirs. Duh!

For those with food concerns, keep track of where you are all the time, it is less daunting that way. Total up your requirements as Transceplant did lower down on this thread, deduct your current stock, also deduct the food prizes, divide the balance by the number of days remaining to get your daily production requirement.

I copy and paste the levelling up requirements from the dragon info pages into a spreadsheet (remember it is the amount to go to the next level, so if you are going to level 13 you only include up to the column labelled level 12). I sum the two rows, total those two, then do the other calcs above.

As I feed the dragons, I delete the numbers for that level from each row, which updates the totals and the rest of the calcs.

Generally I plant three Diamondates and four of the Pumpkin things, both 5 hour crops totalling 3,300 apples, three times a day. I adjust as necessary, I.e. One run I will plant all Diamondates. I rarely go below having 5 million coins unless I do a mining expansion, last was one million coins - wow! I'm trying to save coins to buy another Treasure Terrace at the Black Friday sales if they have gold producing dragons on sale.

Usually a value pack is released around the time of the Tales, with 25,000 food and I do sometimes buy those if I want the dragon. I wasn't interested in the Zombie dragon, but I did get and LOVE the Dark Crystal.

I don't level up any other dragons during a Tales, except for dumps to level 4 to trade.

Planning the food and keeping track makes it much less stressful than worrying if you have enough!
