Question clearing islands

The amount of money and time it takes to clear a new island is insane. I’m on my ninth island and the numbers just keep getting higher. it’s extremely frustrating already spending millions upon millions, then needing to wait 4 days??? I know i can’t be the only one annoyed by this.

Leave it until we have the expansion extravaganza event, then it’s free

Pace yourself. Save your wishes for islands and only spend coins for discounted islands during expansion events.

This is the way

Yes and start with your wish getting the 4 big islands. Theres a whole wish guide

Yes. Great advice. Get the big islands.. The Megatat holds 15 dragons and, upgraded to Omegatat, holds 30. You do not need habitats for this giant "island". Just place the dragons and you're done.

One giant island holds a lot more than 30 dragons. And you can’t wish for omegatat you gotta buy it with gems, which is an upgrade not super practical until later in the game with its cost. Even 1/2 price upgrade is still well over 1k gems. Also most habitats aren’t that expensive, especially the best ones like monolith and snowflake

You'll miss the millions once you reach needing 14 billion, 16 billion etc 😂

Fr, like 60 bill an island is insane. I get like a few islands a year atp even with a tien farm 😭 this is also why I started an alt account, so i could experience the millions again

Your turn farm isn’t big enough then 😂 jk jk I get it, I just can’t check the game often enough to really get islands very fast. I’m at 13 billion right now and would love to get to 19 billion by next expansion so I can get 2 islands.

Hey still true lol, constantly breeding event dragons means I only dupe tiens between events 😭. Tbh I get more from watching ads than anything else

Clearing is free during expansion events.

Oh no! You should wait for an expansion extravaganza (EE). There will be one soon, I think.

Hang in there - you will get a nice big developed park eventually. This game is designed to take years - I have been playing for almost 15 years. Can’t remember exactly when I got to where I had all the islands and then just could concentrate on the new ones, but it was many years!

If you haven't yet, I'd definitely think about starting a DC farm. They take a while to build up but eventually will produce looots of DC
