A twist on the Prism Flower method for events...

For those unfamiliar with this way of getting more dragons in events, the usual method is -- to buy the prism flower (10 gems), farm for dragon tree leaves, merge up to Lvl 4 dragon tree, farm tree for logs, merge logs to cabin for bushes, merge bushes up to wonder (Sky Palace), tap wonder for eggs/nests. If you're really lucky, one of the bushes might yield a nest vault in the midst of that grind. [edit: I have been informed this is incorrect.] Realistically, you'll probably get two more dragons from the Palace, but maybe not. It's not uncommon to have to do two or three.

This, and my variant which follows, are most effectively done once you have your twin flowers and your second dragon. Keep the first (slower) dude farming the twin flower while your second (faster) dragon farms the prism/etc.

Now...if you're like me and find this a bit too fussy and all those little mushroom caps lying around your event board to be aggravating, or if you've just been having rotten rng on your bush grind lately (also like me) here's an alternate version I've used for the last 3-4 events which has proven very effective --

• Farm the Prism Flower for leaves as before, in this case merging up to a level 6 Aged Dragon Tree. Farm the tree for Ruby Fire Mystery eggs, selling or merging logs and leaves as you please.

Technically, a level 5 tree can also yield eggs, but at a much lower rate. Lvl 5 = 1.8% drop chance, Lvl 6 = 3.27% chance. official wiki source

One additional benefit with this variation is that it keeps the fast dragon contributing more to the orb grind, since it has to spend more time on the prism flower for leaves. In fact, if anything, this is probably the reason I keep going for that level 6 tree even though I tell myself every time, "I'll stop at level 4 and try the Sky Palace grind this time." But...those purple orbs when all you have are twin flowers are just...so nice.

Would love to know people's thoughts, experiences, variations, etc...

PS: How many dragons are enough dragons? I prefer one per highest-level life flower. This usually equates to 4, total.
