It is not that bad. With titanium backup (paid), it takes roughly 10 seconds to swap accounts. You just choose which account to restore, and then start playing it. Rerolling is still the suck part (at 109 rerolls right now on my second account, with the best thing being a Thor).
Ah interesting. I have that from back on the OG Droid X I think. Just rooted the S3 this weekend. Does Titanium let you make multiple backups with different names?

Paid version has multiple backups, not sure about renaming.

You could follow the guide Velk posted as well. If I managed to get it working anyone can.

You can have multiple profiles with Titanium, then have a widget to change profiles. That way you can run multiple versions of the game with very easy switching.

Well, I opened up the dungeon to farm all the shit to evolve my mermaid into a siren.

Then I realized i have no lits, and need 3. 2 stamina bars later, and I still need 2....

Oh well, at least I'll be able to kill shit with a Siren leader, and maybe be useful for other people.

Oh ok, didn't know that. Thanks!
I suspect most people like me who have been playing a while will only visit the spreadsheet on occasion to update their leaders etc, if you are new your best bet is to work your way down the list adding people yourself. Prioritise healers to get you through the early levels, having a bunch of 1500 up to 3k+ autohealers every turn will trivialise the early grind. Keep your most useful unit as your leader when not playing as it will increase your chances of other people using your unit and giving you PAL points which can be turned in for rolls on the normal egg machine.

I'd also add RR to your ingame name, it can be done in the options menu, that way people will more likely autoadd your friend request and be less likely to dump you next time they do a culling spree.

Well, finally my account is pleasing me, Just got my dark ripper evolved to 5*, I have a full set of rippers, the other 4 colors working their way to level 70, but I have the keepers I need and evo mats so its just a matter of grinding. My first MSK is 62 and close to evolving to the ADK Been spending all my time more or less on marine goblins. I started running the adept sky dragon blue as their is a better chance on average of goblins than sea cave mercury, but if you need a siren still run sea cave. My StE has gained 18 levels being fed marine goblins - there is no advantage to feeding 1 or 5 at a time right? Only gained a couple skill ups so far.

I had 7 stamina so I ran sea cave and got a second mermaid - is having 2 seen as very useful or is that mostly for healer teams?

No, the number you feed at a time is irrelevent, it checks each one individually for a skill up chance. Cash wise it will be cheaper to feed 5 at once as it gets more expensive after a level up but that's only a concern early on in your P&D career tbh.

Having a second can be useful, I'd keep it in your box even if you won't level it up right now.

1 or 5, it's still "20%" chance with each goblin that's fed.
And two can definitely be used (someone pointed it out earlier).

Gonna do some Sky dragon runs for goblins. Pissed as hell that I didn't get a rainbow keeper on my run through this afternoon.

Wow, just ran Green keeper since I seem to always need those and got light, dark, and green all in the same run. Didn't even know that was possible.

Invite sent. Will send the roll when I get back from the gym.
Accepted, sent my roll (got a +rcv Tyrra, fucking... trolled). You'll get a roll from my present, and then another from when you send me your present. This is the only "easy" chance at a dark or light version of the starter dragons.

Is there some trick to quickly level up dragons that i'm missing? Reading this thread and other PAD forums everyone is always taking about how you need to max out one of each color ripper, then max out a bunch of healers, and a million other pets to make these great teams, but I'm still trying to get my FIRST ripper to 70 so I can evolve it to its final form and it's slow as hell.

I've been usingTHISmethod for feeding pets and with 1 bar of STA I'm lucky to feed the main pet i'm trying to level once for ~30k exp and then I sit and wait hours for STA to come back.

Also, does anyone else have freeze/crash issues when starting the game? When I start the game there is some issue with those blue boxes that pop-up (the news info, mail, etc) that cause my game to freeze and I need to force close the app 2-3 times before I'm able to play. Once I'm past those boxes and in the game I have zero problems and can play all day with no issues as long as I don't close the app and try to start up again. Sadly you need to log out and back in to refresh helpers and shit. Hope 5.0 fixes it.

It might be worth it to power through the regular levels until Castle of Satan and you unlock the Technical Dungeons. At that point you're getting Pengdras and can evolve them for 30k xp a pop. It takes One (1) <color> Pengdra + One (1) Dragon Plant + Two (2) <Color> Dragons (see example here:Fire Pengdra). Feeding a like color monster to a like color monster also gives you like 15% bonus xp. Usually running the Jewel Dragon days, like today, I can get anywhere from 6 - 10 of each color dragon (with a lucky High King or so) and then wait til Thursday to chain run the Dragon Plant dungeon, and go crazy evolving Pengdras.

If you're having trouble getting to / past Castle of Satan not sure what your team is or how to help immediately. You can use Brand's Odin as a helper which should get you mostly there, if you have a decent healer. Or you can ask someone to put up their 50% resist dragon for whatever tier dungeon you're on.

It's a process though, no easy or quick way to do it without spending massive $$ on stones to constantly refresh your stamina.

Ummm...well, just do what you have to to open up the technical dungeons (get through Castle of Satan). Once you do that, you can evolve Pengdras (takes 2 jewel dragons and 1 dragon plant to evolve), and each gives 45k exp to the color it is (or 30k to off color/dark/light). Heck, just max leveling them (at a cost of 2500exp) gives you 9k exp as a feeder. That's your primary exp gain right there. Aside from that, farm the heck out of metal dragon dungeons, as the king metal dragon gives something like 50k to all colors, and 75k to dark.

Or yeah, what intrinsic said.

Well guess this is the third redundant post. oh well!

Past the method you posted, it takes a bit more planning and time management and you have to cross check. The key things are as follows

1. Beat the Castle of Satan and unlock the technical dungeons.
2. Be able to complete the technical dungeons - They unlock Wood/Water/Fire in that order
3. Farm up Pendras. They only take 2500 XP to max out their level, a Maxed out pendra is worth 9k xp to a like color monster
4. Watch the limited time special dungeons for red/green/blue dragons (Puzzledragonx.com has a list on the right) you need to figure out the time based on time zone and ID code to know which group you're in.
5. Farm up said dragons as you only have a 1 hour window on each color. If lucky you'll loot some kings which are worth 75k I think to like color monsters, Otherwise you want the smallest basic dragons, Sapphire Dragon (etc).
6. Thursday Dungeon - Loot as many dragon plants as possible (not the seed not the flower)
7. Combine One Max Level Pendra (2500 xp) 1 dragon plant and 2 basic dragons - This evolves the pendra into a 45k xp feeder. So if you collect 4 pendra 8 basic dragons and 4 dragon plants - all evolved that's 180k before any lucky bonus.

8. For Dark/Light - getting lucky farming metal or jewel dragon dungeons can yield kings.

At the end of the day it takes more box space to hold all the shit you need to evolve the pendras but its well worth it.

The Pengdras method you all mentioned does indeed give more exp per feed, and will save you more money over the 2* carbuncle method but is it reallyfaster? That's what I was looking for, and I'm thinking the answer is no.

Pengdras give 9k, L10-11 carbuncle gives ~4.5k, but the tech dungeons take near 2x the STA and feel like a lower drop rate. And if you evolve them for the 45k you're blowing even more STA to get the dragons to evolve (20 sta I think to run one?). I think both methods are close when it comes to time or STA spent but the pengdras method is way better cash wise.

338,347,247 -- I run Green Odin as my leader; add me if you want. Could use some more good healer friends also. :p

Spork: do you spend cash on this?

If so I've found the easiest way is just chain run the crap out of the jewel/metal dragons and refill stamina with stones. It's much much easier than pendra farming.

The reason the pendra method is faster, is because the hunt! dragon farming also yields kings and such which are substantial xp by themselves. You get the basic dragons (pendra food) by default. The hunt dungeons are great for feeding and the pendra evolution is worth the time investment especially if you have a box full of basics because you will loot them anyways. If you aren't watching the Hunt! events then its not really a big deal one way or another. Without using the basic dragons to evolve pendras they are only worth 1500 xp which is shit. So if you aren't evolving pendras you aren't taking advantage of the stamina you spend on Hunt! as most likely you'd just be deleting the basic dragons after a point as they arn't good feeders in any way by themselves. With a little king luck and some dragon plants that you keep laying around, one run of the pendras and you can be looking at feeding a few hundred thousand xp to one of your rippers. The 4* Rippers take 623,949 xp to hit level 70.

4 same color Kings +32000 xp will max a ripper from 50-70
Which is 8 evolved 45k pendra. Hunt! is where the xp is at, the pendras just make streaky luck in the Hunt! much better time spent since you can leverage the worst drop into 45k xp. Instead of the pendra method, think of it as the Hunt! method.

Yeah, what is the formula for cost to fuse? Like 1,000 gold x Monster Level + (500 x +Stat#) or something? At some point feeding those Carbuncles and what-not for 4.5k @ 40,000+ gold a combine just isn't worth it, plus the farming to get them to level 10 - 14. And that goes for the regular jewel dragons too. At that point they're really only good for feeding Pengdras.

Just realized I have like 0 rubylits and masks to evolve my Naga. Looks like I get to spend tomorrow doing nothing but starter red dungeon and farming five of them. At least I have the Keeper from today and Divine Mask / Mythlit.
