another fail

hope that could have better luck on 31st

[Quinney]

Got a S.1 Ghanser today! https://dragcave.net/lineage/TgnqD

 

19 attempts. A strange thing happened though. I had two revivals and instead if immediately growing up as they usually do, they both now say they will grow up in two days. I can fog them and try again?

All time-out hatchies automatically get 2 days, but if they have enough views to grow they'll grow immediately. They can't be revived again (or traded) so just keep them as regular dragons or abandon them.

Ah, right. I must have had minimal views with trying for stage 1 then. That's never happened to me before!

2 turned and 2 revived (and were in turn abandoned/released). 20 hatchies and 5 adults (+1 from a revival), so 26 attempts in total.

This time around I actually remembered to kill my adult fodder on the 17th so I'll have 4 more chances later today.

[D-wing]

Ah, another 6/6 Disintegrated...

Maybe I need to try the 10x method in 31/8

[Sunrunner]

4 disintegrated & 1 revived from my July 17th set

2 disintegrated, 1 revived, and a whopping 3! turned! (don't ask about the Blancblack's name, I have no explanation )

No adults today. Five disintegrates and lots of dodges.

[MiaLily]

3 of 29 for me so far. I almost forgot to kill the first batch of adults on the 17th, it was literally 5 minutes before midnight when I killed the last one so it will be interesting to try to get the 2nd batch. I was hoping I wouldn't need it but the female wingless Pygmy remains elusive. BUT I got the three hatchies I was trying for so yay.

male wingless Pygmy hatchie

[MissK.]

As usual defying the odds with a 0/18 so far. I have 4 more hatchlings dying later but don't have very high hopes at this point, the last time I got a zombie was after 40+ tries always with nighttime odds. 

 

Edit: Incredible, one of the hatchlings zombified. That's a total of 1/22, still terrible but at least that's one more down.

Got a S1 Ghanser Zombie https://dragcave.net/lineage/snB9q, but sadly no adult zombie, so no chance for a Zombie-Kin offspring again (but I really need a 2nd gen Two-headed from a Zombie father as a mate for him: https://dragcave.net/lineage/Gt1Qf) also had 2 revival hatchlings, which I APed…

[purplehaze]

First of all I forgot to try to revive my dragons that I killed two weeks ago. By the time I remembered it was about a half hour too late and the tombstones were gone. This in spite of having a reminder on my spreadsheet.

Then I tried killing some more of my fodder. The good news is that none of them dodged. The bad news is that all five of them disintegrated. more

[Stormcaller]

I'm so happy today because I finally broke my bad luck streak by turning an adult Gilded Bloodscale.    Despite monthly attempts to make Zombies, this is the first success I've had since November 27th of last year.  That's a lot of dead dragons that could have been a nice addition to my collection...

[Kiyoura]

3/8 Hatchling successes, 3/5 Adult successes! Unfortunately, did not get any CB zombies (for 2nd gen zombie offsprings this time!)

Are some dragons just impossible to kill? I have 4 that have repeatedly dodged the blade -- at least one of them every time since January!

I did get 4 successful kills this time -- forgot I had a Vamp kill that was still counting against me!

I have one that has now dodged 3x, so I'm wondering the same thing.  I only try on the 31st, but she always dodges.

Everything else always disintegrates.

[Ruffledfeathers]

All 4 disintegrates and way too many dodges

Well, at least one of the five that I killed today was one of the ones that I was wondering about that had dodged repeatedly, so apparently it is not impossible.

Congrats to all who are having success today. Hopefully August will be a better month for me.

0/10 adults on 31st 🥲

Question, and sorry if it's been asked before:

 

The higher chances for Zombies are on October 31st and the 31st of any month that has a 31st.

 

For months that do not have 31 days, does that mean that month doesn't have any higher chances? So, for example, in September, no days have a better rate for getting Zombies?

Pretty much. Night time is the only boost that runs throughout the entire year, and it's tiny.  The scale from highest chance to lowest is:
October 31st (Halloween, the full 24 hours) --> the entire week leading up to Halloween (October 24 thru October 30) --> any month with a 31st (January, March, May, July, August, December) --> Night time --> Day time

As I read, some of you have more disintegrated dragons, than 5,which is what I can even kill in one batch. How you do that? Is there some trick? I had long time break from DC and like two months ago started playing again - so maybe I missed something? Can you help me with advice?

Yes, there are a couple of tricks.

 

For hatchies, just hatch them and then fog them.  They'll die behind the fog at the end of their 7 days, and you can do as many of those as your scroll can hold, though it'll take a bit of planning to have them die in the 2 week window between a 17th and a 31st, so you can try for zombies before any tombstones disappear, and they don't take up kill slots at all!

 

For adults, which take kill slots, have all your kill slots free on the 17th of a month that ends in a 31st.  Stab 5 adults any time during that 24 hour period.  The 2 week cooldown will kick in, and you'll get those kill slots back on the 31st at the exact time you used them on the 17th, so you can try to stab 5 more adults for a total of 10 adult zombie tries on the 31st!  I'd recommend trying to stab your adults on the 17th at a time you know you can get back on before the tombstones disappear on the 31st, or you'll lose your chance to revive the 17th batch of zombie fodder.

 

And if you get a lot of dodging, there's a 24 hour cooldown before you can try to stab your zombie fodder dragons again.  So if you ran out of dragons to stab on the 17th before using up your kill slots, just try again on any day in the 2 weeks leading up to the 31st, since you won't be able to maximize your adult kill chances at that point anyway, so you might as well try to get what kills in that you can.
