Draconius Go - Who's playing ?

Yes, I'm still getting to grips with it all. I messed up this morning and put a low level frogus in a library thinking it was an arena! As far as I can work out he now has to stay there for 5 days then I will be able to change his moveset which is pretty pointless when I shall probably bin him anyway! Oops learning curve! I also tried battling someone in a library and nothing seemed to happen except I got some xp for winning. The creature stayed there. I wasn't sure if I had to beat him more than once?!

I am on level 15 and also annoyed all creatures returned . I don’t get libraries either . Changed an attack but no real idea why . It’s nice to see new things though

I don't think many people are playing near me after all. Most of the arenas I've come across are empty except for one.

I'm still not quite sure what I'm doing and I'm mostly playing because DS loves catching the monsters.

The portals are good, different creatures and stops on different places.
Look for the mother of dragons and leave an ancient egg with her to hatch.

I've been in s couple but either not seen her or not been able to get to her.

Runes are for casting spells. You get one spell at the start of the games and can collect more from completing quests.

Not a notion, I tried to find a guide similar to the Pokemon go one but the only one I found was so badly written I gave up on it.

Does anyone know what runes are for? I have over 20 now but don't know what to do with them.

Well this has fucking pissed me off- I level up to level 15 and had all of my creatures returned from the arenas back to me. We spent hours yesterday walking all over the place putting creatures into arenas.

I thought you could collect from 25 arenas?

Managed my first successful golden egg hunt today! Only had three squares of the map, and I could tell that only about 5 out if 9 were going to be accessible unless I went tramping around the fields after dark, but I was lucky enough to find it on my 4th shovel. Golden egg hatched a 4 /4 Hydra.

Oops, I got pillars and obelisks mixed up, it's pillars I'm seeing gardens.

I am finding the location of obelisks and pillars quite random and not that well thought out- often they are inaccessible as they are on private land or in a middle of some field. There are loads along a train track, for example, but no way of accessing them as the train moves too fast.

We used a dragon's eye today- it was amazing! Seeing and catching all those creatures was great fun! I caught several new ones such as Kelpie, Airver, Flamy, Flowy, Gardrag, Parabeast, and Twigo.

I also got kicked out of a gym after being there for a week. I am guessing that's to stop people from gym hogging. The coin system is bizarre though- I have no idea how much you get for each day. I was in one gym and had 14 coins per day. Then I was in 4 and was getting 24. Now I am in 3 and am getting 14 again.

Just downloaded this and went for a walk with DS. I got so bored of pokemon go after they changed the creatures to list the ones at pokestops.

I have a obelisk thingy in my garden and looking at the ones nearby, they're all ones in houses where there's a fair chance there's a player. Is that how it works?

I’m so glad there’s a draconius go thread! I’m level 17 and really enjoying it. I haven’t got any really good creatures yet, my best is a 651 cp harpy. I have a basilisk, which I think is supposed to be good, but it’s only 218 cp. I have 2 pillars on the way to school, which is nice as there are no pokestops on that route! I’ve managed to enter a rift quite a few times. The first time I struck lucky and the mother of dragons was right next to it! Unfortunately, once my egg hatched it was only a dummyween! Other times there has either been no mod or she has been inaccessible. I got lucky today though and found her, she is currently cooking a 10 hour egg so I’m hoping for something better this time. I also like that 2 times when I’ve entered a rift, it has placed pillars right in my house. I stayed in the rift all day just stocking up on balls! I’m currently in 8 arenas. I was in 10 but got booted out when I entered silver league, level 15 I think?

Libraries don’t seem worth bothering about yet as I don’t have any good beasts yet. I haven’t cast any spells yet, I’m not quite sure how that works, but I’ve got lots of the runes. So far I’ve only spent 200 coins on a bag upgrade so I could stock up on balls.

Obelisks I’m finding quite annoying. There’s one really near my house but it’s inaccessible due to being behind a gated housing development. I managed to access a different obelisk and got a quest which is to catch 40 air element creatures. It’s taking blooming ages though as I hardly seem to see any. I’ve tried the golden egg hunt too but there’s no way I can get to 9 different obelisks! I managed 6 and could work out where it was but ran out of time before I could go there to use shovels. I’m currently waiting for my second hunt to time out as I can tell from the first square that 3 of the squares will be inaccessible due to being a river!

It was weird today. I decided to travel over to the town next to me to see if there was anything new there...except there was absolutely nothing! I mean no pillars, no arenas, no libraries, no obelisks, no creatures on nearby, just nothing! It didn’t make sense as this is in a highly populated part of London.

Sorry, that ended up being a much longer post than I intended!

Just downloaded now getting bored of pogo.

I’ve just downloaded it. Getting a bit bored with Pokemon Go at the moment although I’ll keep checking in with it and pick up again when Gen 3 launch. Thought this might be fun until then!

As a rough guide to which creatures are 'good', click on the pokedex bestiary - green creatures are common, blue are rarer (or stronger?), red are the most rare (or strong?). the higher numbers might also apply to rarity, or strength. So creatures numbered 120 - 125 are probably the business. I've only got 2 red creatures, Basilisk and Smoargh, both from eggs.

Of course a lesser creature can evolve into a big strong beast - keep at eye out for a sweet little purple cat called Cheshir, it evolves twice into a really powerful creature called Bagun. Even in it's first evolution it's a really good fighter, and when you power Cheshir up he rolls on his back and plays with his tail.

Thanks whitehorse

I've been for a walk and got up to L5. Beats being on L33 for 2.5 months!

In the absence of much clue about what I'm doing, I'm going for the collect everything then work out what to do with stuff approach.

I don't understand the little crossed swords symbol in the top right corner. You can change the colour, but why would you?

Swords mean the creature is best at attacking, shield means it's a better defender. You can use the colours as a personal organising system, set up how you want. I use green for a creature that can be evolved on my next lucky egg (or whatever it is!), red for my good fighters / high value creatures, and yellow I don't use yet. Once the creature is assigned to a 'colour' it can't be deleted until you remove the colour - so it's like favouriting it. You should definitely assign a colour to your best creatures even if just to stop them being deleted by accident.

Horse, how did you cast a spell?

Hi Dillite, I gaven't cast any spells with runes and altars yet, but you can permanently enchant a pillar to give only eggs / balls / potions / treats... it costs 300 coins and the egg one is recommended as people say it gives a lot of 10K eggs when enchanted. Click on a pillar (one you can visit regularly) then click on the little menu thing on the bottom right. I've done a potion one now as well as I'm always low.

I'm loving this at the moment, as a rural player I'm finding it much better- though the spawn rate seems low compared to Pokémon. I could catch about 10 Pokemon on the school run if I wanted, but today I only came across one creature.

The creatures are cool though! And there's loads to do. And as the only player in the village, at the moment I'm raking in the coins!

I don't understand the little crossed swords symbol in the top right corner. You can change the colour, but why would you? (I could google, I might later and let you know what I discover!)
