Zombie Success stories

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.

 

Thank you so much. I was just killing them at 31st as a basic person 😂

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

Thanks for the answer! I didn't know the week leading up to Halloween also had a boost (but also I guess I never try the week before when I can try on the 31st anyways!)

You're welcome!

 

Yeah, the past couple of years, I've been working on zombie hatchies, so the entire month of October, my scroll is devoted to death, and ends up being just a huge graveyard with tons of fogged hatchies waiting to die & row and rows of tombstones ready to start being revived by the 24th onwards 😂.

And you're welcome, too 😁!  Good luck with the zombies!

[Quinney]

Killed my five and got the male Amphitere I wanted 😁 (Couldn't wait for the 31st!)

 

No luck with any of the eight Furor's I had though. 😕

 

Good luck with your kills today!

One exghanser! Hoping I get a male counterpart later so I have a complete zombie set again

[Rosedamai]

2 disintegrations, 3 zombies, and I believe something like 4 evades.

All of my 5 Adults (with kids) disintegrated (0/5)

I had 21 hatchling fodders, 18 disintegrated, 1 revived (and was APed), 2 zombified (lousy statistics as always) 🥺

 

I‘m most disappointed in this zombie: https://dragcave.net/lineage/6S5K1 (because I had 4 female influenced Lindwyrm hatchlings (the only one besides male adult that I need from lindwyrm) and when this one turned I saw that it didn’t gender) 🤨

at least this one is one of those that I needed: https://dragcave.net/lineage/gW7x5

[Quinney]

Got a male adult Drake to go with my female 😁

[Elizabeth Moonstone]

One zombie, one normal revive, eight disintegrated.

I would have loved to get two zombies this month after getting zero last month (I'm greedy like that) but at least, the one I got fills my scroll goals for Drake zombies and has a really cool lineage:

https://dragcave.net/lineage/PfKJN 

[Ruffledfeathers]

4/4 disintigrate. Sad times, at least some deadline dragons have potential mates. 

[Mika]

Done for the day and I got pretty good results. 4 turned and 3 revived (and were subsequently AP'd). I forgot to count the number of fodder I had but I think it was close to 30. 

[Lushwave]

Out of 159 tombstones I managed 25 zombies and 8 successful revives. Not only is this the most tombstones I've had to revive at once, this is the most zombies I've ever gotten at once!

If this alone is indicative of success rates on a 31st, that's a 15% zombie rate and a 5% success rate. Of course, the true numbers remain to be seen...

[Kiyoura]

16 out of 16 failed attempts to revive/zombify today.  🙃

10 were adults, 6 were hatchlings.

[rinoa26]

18 out of 18 dead hatchies disintegrated.

4 out of 4 killed adults disintegrated.

Not one turned or revived for me today

[MiaLily]

Not a good month apparently. I only had 8 hatchies (because I only actually need one more to complete all the sets) and none of them turned. One revival though. I also only needed one more adult and it looked pretty bleak when the 5 from the 17th all disintegrated but with the last of my fodder (of which I didn't have a lot) I managed to get that female wingless Pygmy. So 1/16 for me.

How in the world do you manage to get that much fodder?

I must admit I was thinking the same. I always concentrate on getting as many as I can from day 1 at Halloween, but I've been nowhere near that number.

[tjenni]

I still had 5 hatchlings from my failed zombie parent experiments, which died yesterday, 1 revived and 1 turned: Wingless S2 Pygmy 🥰

If you examine the gravestones, you'll see these are hatchlings killed with sickness.

I did used to let hatchlings time out last year for Halloween, but it's so grueling. Viewbombing them to death is much faster.

 

The combined effort of all hatcheries on DC is not quite enough to kill hatchlings this way, so to do that you'll need to stack on another source of views elsewhere, such as a popular forum which I used. That's about the extent I'll tell :3

[tjenni]

Got a Seawyrm hatchling zombie https://dragcave.net/lineage/03K30

[tjenni]

Just now I got a regular Two-headed hatchling, another set complete 😃 https://dragcave.net/lineage/vNaMV

[Quinney]

23 hatchie tries this morning, and on the 21st managed this stage 1 Furor https://dragcave.net/lineage/G7Ivz 

Thank goodness! I need stage 2 Furor and Ghanser now. 

Five adult attempts gave me nothing, still have a few adult zombies waiting for mates!

Absolutely loads of avoids.

 

ETA: Forgot to mention 3 revived.

[D-wing]

OK after around 50 fails, I finally got a wingless S1 hatchling! ekrRD
I hope I can get more zombies at Halloween, specifically the adults. I need more girls to balance their ratio of gender.

 

[Quinney]

26 tries for a stage 2 Furor zombie this morning, 26 disintegrates.  Must admit, I did expect just one.  Think I'll see if the Ghanser is any easier to get.
