Dragons of Atlantis Pumpkin Dragon Armor

Just before Halloween, Kabam released Pumpkin Armor for your Great Dragon in the mystery shop.  You will need to obtain 200 Pumpkin Treats to purchase the Pumpkin Armor.  You can get Pumpkin Treats from level 4 and 5 hills.  I was able to farm 200 Pumpkin Treats in a couple of hours on a new server where I was under 50k power and did not have my muster point maxed.  If you have your muster point maxed, your rapid deployment maxed and enough troops to farm constantly, you could probably get 200 Pumpkin Treats in as little as 2 hours.

 

You have around 95% chance of getting a treat when you have a victory over a level 4 or 5 hill.  I found you have around 60% chance of getting only 1 Pumpkin Treat and around 40% chance of getting two Pumpkin Treats.  From my limited testing you can not get more than 2, or if you can, the chance would be less than 1%.

Pumpkin Great Dragon Armor isn't the only reward you can get in Dragons of Atlantis Heirs of the Dragon.  You can get multiplier elixirs for 10 Pumpkin Treats.  You can also use one treat to get a Mauve Stones, 3 Treats to get Sun Glow Stones and 5 to get mutton.

You can get 99 elixirs, stones and mutton.  Mutton is the worst choice.  You can get a piece of mutton by attacking a level 1 Savannah and have about a 90% chance.  This means you will have to attack 3-5 level 4-5 hills to get the same thing you would get from attacking a single Savannah.  My guess is that the Elixirs and the Sun Glow stones are the best rewards after the armor.  Mauve stones are not very good except for gaining power as you don't use LBM or Minotaurs after the first month or so of playing at all.  The Sun Glow Stones will be very useful for upgrading your Swift Strike Dragons and Battle Dragons.  I would prioritize the rewards as follows.  Dragon Armor > Elixirs / Sun Glow Stones > Mauve Stones  > Mutton.

When you get the Pumpkin Armor, the description was vague.  I thought you get one piece of Pumpkin Armor.  You actually get all 4 pieces.  You can only obtain one of these sets.

Dragons of Atlantis Dragon Cave Loot

One really good way to get resources in Dragons of Atlantis Heir of the Dragon is by doing the 10 daily Dragon Cave quest.  Each day you get 10 free explorations.  The explorations are random and there are 5 levels.  The lowest is colored grey and called High Mountain, the second is green and called Dark Forest, the third is blue and called Ancient Plunder, the fourth is orange and called Legendary and the last is purple and called Lost Treasure of Atlantis.  You can get anything from resources, beef, mutton and up to 50 Battle Dragons for each time you quest.  You also get speed up which can be very important for tournaments.

You can easily get to where you can explore the dragon cave within a few hours of starting the game.  I recommend you make this one of your top priorities.  Complete as many of the starter quest as possible.  Several of them give you mutton.  Feed the mutton to your dragon and he will reach level 4 within a hour or two of starting.  This is very important because at the beginning troops are hard to come by.  If your lucky you can get Swift Strike Dragons and Battle Dragons as rewards.

Dragons of Atlantis Heirs of the Dragon city farming.

City farming is the fastest way to gain resources in Dragons of Atlantis Heirs of the Dragon, especially as a beginner.  When you first start Dragons of Atlantis, be sure to make several garrisons and a rookery at level 2, and research the required talents for making Shadow Strike Dragons(SSD).  Quickly do the requirements for Shadow Strike Dragons.  These are the best troop for city farming.  They are relatively cheap, fast to build, they move fast and have a decent load to carry.  If you build your city correctly you can make 5k SSD a day pretty easily.

Here is the fun part.  Look around your city for other cities that have 62 power.  This is a city that has nothing built.  There will be no chance of any defense.  Send your SSD's to attack.  This cities can have up to 50k of each resource and it takes about half a day for them to fill back up completely.

Once you have a good amount of resources, and you have a couple thousand SSD's you can start taking risk and attacking cities with some power.  Try to attack cities with under 500 power.  These are the most likely to have no defense.  Some people will rush to get their great dragon, put him on defense and quit the game.  This will leave low power cities that can wipe a lot of your SSD's if you attack.  If you find one of these cities, remember it or mark it so you don't keep losing troops.
