    I get that they are attempting to add a mini-game element to DV, something people were asking for. They need to somehow at least make it fun. Sitting tediously tapping in these boring races is not a way I want to spend hours of my time.

    The wheel is silly. Your prize has already been determined before you spin. They need to just show your prize when they show your dragon up on the 1st Place pedestal. The wheel just makes people feel ripped off because they actually think they have an equal chance of winning anything that's on it. Not to mention the time wasted watching it.

    I really wish they'd figure out that 2700 or 5000 food is insulting and ridiculous considering how much food is required to get a dragon to level 15. A 250,000 food prize on the board wouldn't be bad, I always need food!

    And no more duplicates, I need 2 more pieces to finish the first stage and have probably raced 50 times since last night, nothing.

    I like that it's a long-term thing too. My secondary issue is that I don't have hours to just sit and play (I'd play Angry Birds or something if that were the fact) but I can live with it as people have been wanting things you can actually do with your dragons. However, my primary issue with it is how boring and tedious it is. If they are going to make us spend hours doing it, then come up with something that is fun and engaging. Otherwise get back to making it a game I can pop in once an hour to check on and then pop out.

    They probably put them in so we wouldn't complain about winning worthless exp points while spinning the wheel at the race track trying to get their Legendary Dragon pieces.;) Well, that's my theory anyway. At least I'm getting a little better at racing..up to three pieces.

    So I'm pretty sure that the 6 hour timer is still somehow in effect. I think you can get cheaper pieces anytime but you have a better chance to get harder pieces and pieces you need every 6 hours.

    I base this on the fact that I set up a 6hr timer after I get a piece I need. I played for hours and only got pieces I already had, quit for a while. My timer went off and wouldn't you know it the first race I got the final piece for the first relic.

    So take that for what it's worth.

    First, you need to update your phone. Then, you need to buy his perch from habitats.

    Once you have his perch, you click on it to enter races (or buy pieces for an exhoribant amount of gems).

    You will want to have these dragons handy:
    Blast Furnace - Forge
    Cherry Road - Sakura (also heard Flower works well)
    Dramoria - Steel
    Electric Skies - Sonic
    Marshlands - Seaweed
    Shimmering Faultine - I have been using Rainbow, but I heard crystal is also good
    Ulster Meadow - Clover
    Year of the Dragon - Panlong, I have also used Paper

    I use Quake for Shimmering Faultline too.

    Just got the final fragment of stage 1, and 5 fragments of stage 2 in under 1 hour. 3 duplicates also. I think that 6 hour timer is out of the window now?

    Also, I think it stinks that we don't get anything for these new levels. Just got level 37 and got nothing again. I think Jtfields is right about the single habitat once you reach 40...

    6hour limit is bogus, my friend got 3 in an hour and I got 3 in 2 hours. 1 more for the 1st stage for me.
