My 6* account...
Farm Rust Mech whenever I get stamina, have all the evo mats I need for a while so I just need to level stuff up. So mix in technical dungeon of choice for green or blue depending on which I need more.

If I had multiple accounts trying to get through Castle of Satan... I would probably go crazy, too much time. But yeah, just daily dungeons / specials etc. Take a saturday afternoon to get an account through Castle of Satan if I get some good early rolls... but apart from that meh.

I have also gotten into the habit of keeping a spare iphone around with a tutorial account loaded to give to friends who look a little bored :p

Probably cheaper to buy stones... but no thanks. (no I did not buy a spare phone to do this, just had one around)

There was a rumor about a way to skip the tutorial and still have 5 stones... anyone know how that works?

I wouldnt mind farming up a couple alt resist accounts...

Dual Color Neptune, Green Odin, etc would be nice to have available as needed. That just leaves your main account to farm Succubus/mermaid and regular team :p
I'd be very surprised it that's possible tbh, the data48.bin file is like your user/password onto their server where all the real data is held, that's why it doesn't matter when you do your backup of that file. You can do the backup on day one, fuck your install up a month later and when you put the file back you carry on from where you left off.

OP edited to include a couple more English language resources, thanks for the links Brand saving me rooting around for them.

Right, time to level up my JP account, I want my Tonberry, Marlboro and Bahamut damnit!

So hold out and pull on the 28th? these stones are burning a hole but I'm not likely to drop cash for them, guess i'm waiting, the dream of getting a good pull than the reality of not I suppose.
Honestly, unless you're feeling REALLY lucky for 2/28, I'd even wait until 5.0 drops with the rest of the new gods and shit. Honestly the only thing I'm waiting for is Green Odin. There are others I'd use, but that's the only one I'm really wishing I had (except Zeus/Hera and maaaybe Hades).



Also, speaking of the stam/experience... if/when tower of giants is on 1/2 stam, you can do the 3stam version and rank up faster than you burn stamina until you're in the upper 90s for rank. The off putting part is that it's boring as fuck.

It could be tower of trials also, I just don't remember which and can't find the thread from puzzles and dragons forum.

Does anyone know if it's been confirmed that the two events will meet on the 28th? Is it possible that the current event ends at midnight on the 28th, and the next one starts at midnight on the 28th?

It says in the egg roll section the current 4* event runs until March 1st. Everyone is hoping the Feb 28th event makes the overlapping gods 12*, will have to wait and see if GungHo are feeling generous!

I guess I'll wait, I suppose for the time being my siren/dragon knight/and black/white/blue rippers and neptune will just be what I focus on leveling, just save up stones, I hope 5.0 is sooner than later. Unless as fazana says its 12*.

Feel free to hate me forever, but while digging around for Marine Goblins in Banquet of Temptation (I vary between their drop locations to break up the tedium), I've acquired 2 more mermaids.
I think a second might be useful at some point for the orb changing, but I doubt 3 would ever be very important. I guess I'll start feeding mermaids to my Siren in hopes of a skill up.

Just from the loss of stats, I can't see why changing fire to hearts more than once every 5 turns would be necessary. Yes your RCV will be huge (and you can run one for regen), but attack/etc would suuuck.

Yeah, I doubt there would ever be enough fire orbs for it to be worth it anyway. Time for my Siren to become a cannibal.
I've fed 30 or so Marine Goblins so far, and not a skill up to be had. Each and every carbuncle I feed to another carbuncle, however, will skill up.

managed to get my siren from 3* & lvl 5 to 5* and level 5 in about a day (or two? whatever). No skill ups and a lucky high king sapphire dragon pull from the PAL was awesome. Now to grind out more of the fucking Rust Mech.

A couple things for any new players just jumping in. I dont think the Op or game really noted them.

life bars. May not be entirely clear at first. As enemy life bars are for monsters. But if you check info on your creatures, they have hp values as well. but enemies don't attack your creatures.
your life bar is the sum total of all your creatures life. this is why when you ally with a high level ally, your life skyrockets, when you are a new player. That guy that rerolled a "god" 5 star card will have more life on that one card, then all yours combined likely.

Dungeons.
Periodic special dungeons spawn on a schedule. should link this in OP.
http://www.puzzledragonx.com/en/special-dungeons.asp

Weekend tricolor is especially good for a new player. They are incredibly easy to beat. Both novice and adept can be beaten with an average 4 star team with relative ease.
These give a ton of Coins. more then enough to pay for any evolving early. no messing with selling, etc. I really recommend doing this at the start. just do these over and over during a weekend at start.
Then worry about the other dungeons and building a deck after you have a ton of coins. its 20k a run for adept. (double coins right now, for 40k.) Do this for a weekend, and start the game with 300k coins frees up alot of room to play with.
Note, fire, water, and earth orbs here. do not bring light or dark creatures, and avoid taking a light/dark ally if you can. As they will never attack with no light/dark orbs.

Dragon hourly dungeons. These drop exp dragons. these serve as massive EXP fusions. Color coded for exp bonuses to that color of course. Will fill up your inventory up fast, early game. And are not super hard. but will be hard for a very early player.
Dragons, have super high defense, and will only take 1 damage from most attacks. key is to spam them with combos, or just many hits. if your whole team is red, then a single 3 orb red combo will hit 6 times for 1 each, and 1 shot a single dragon for example.


Not all difficulties are equal. Adept tricolor-easy. Adept-dragon guardian. creatures were dealing 10x as much damage as that tricolor.




For me, I tried the rerolling thing. didn't work out so well.
10+ tries. settled on a 4 star echidna. Pretty decent. Neat flame passive. good all around damage/rcv/hp. happy with it. but still clearly not a 5star.
Not one 5star. only 2 4 stars even. Shaitan was the other. 2 cupids, 1 dryad, 5+ knights, 1 or 2? piedra.

For the most part, the egyptian gods aren't actually any better than the current ones unless you are *very* good at the game. A lot of the good creatures from 5.0 are upgrades of existing ones too, so I wouldn't sweat it too much.

What do you mean by this?
They have a new style of leader skill, where it's semi-active based on multiple matches - for example, 4x damage when you attack with 4 different combos in the same round. That's the easiest one - the hardest one is 10x damage if you make 10 combos in the same round. Given that's matching the entire board into lots of 3 at the same time, it takes some pretty epic matching skills to take advantage of.

Ran through my stam 2 1/2 times today for the double drops, got only a couple ADK's and zero skill ups. Didn't get a drop for the past 8 times or so, fucking ridiculous.

So just starting out and I got a 5star Lilith the Witch of the Night on my 4th redo of the tutorial. Worth keeping and moving on?
