Big thanks to Vanilla Mint Ice, Emalde, Zydoran and Tsurupettan for their awesome work on previous versions of this OP! thread 1 thread 2 thread 3 thread 4 thread 5 thread 6 Credit also to DACK FAYDEN, messagemode1, No Friend of Gravity, Omelette du Fromage, jarch3r, Reiterpallasch and a metric poo poo ton of others from IRC who worked on this OP, the wiki and other resources. Meet the largest-grossing free-to-play mobile game in the world, a crack-laced fusion of Bejeweled and Pokémon available on both the iTunes Store (USA) and the Google Play Store (USA). It is now also available on Kindle Fire. There are EU servers, though the majority of the thread is based on NA. Non-US people can also play on the US server: Android iOS Puzzle & Dragons, or PAD for short, is a SOCIAL, FREEMIUM game from JAPAN in which you kill monsters, take their eggs, hatch the eggs and fuse them to other monsters, and then evolve those monsters by jamming seeds and plants down their throats. The main part of this game takes place on a Bejeweled-style board, but you can drag an orb to any location on the board while displacing other orbs to create huge combos. Also the art is rad. Watch it yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zpUSYKN3nA Intrigued? The puzzle part is pretty neat, but there's actually massive depth to this game. Once the training wheels come off, enemies start showing up in larger groups and hitting for thousands of damage. In most F2P games this is just a bullshit paywall, but PAD is fundamentally different from most freemium games, and it's very possible to get deep into the endgame without spending a dime. ...but yes, there is IAP. You do not need it, but it does speed things up significantly. Try not to spend hundreds of dollars every month. The resources available to English-speaking PAD players have improved significantly in the past year, but goons being goons we like to think that we maintain (Click here for THE SINGLE BEST GUIDE if the image doesn't load) --> THE DEFINITIVE LIST OF STARTER GODS <-- If the monster you roll from the Rare Egg Machine at the end of the tutorial isn't listed on the page above, reroll! Extremely generous goons ChikoDemono and Kuros often use events to generate new accounts for newbies. If you're tired of rerolling, ask in the thread if they have any extra accounts! If you decide you want to contribute extra accounts for newbies, post in the thread so you can be added here. You can either have your device rooted or get a device change code from them. For those who would like to try out the Japan (JP) version of the game, MrMoose has a list of JP accounts to give away. NEWBIES, POST YOUR LEADER AND FRIEND ID ONCE YOU'RE DONE REROLLING In addition to hosting the SA PAD Guide, http://www.padherder.com/ (created and maintained by our own Mad Cow Fred) is the place to find goon friend leaders. If you don't have an account, make one! Also, if you're looking for a specific leader, you can consult the SA PAD Friend List! The best place to ask questions is in our IRC channel, #pad on irc.synirc.net. The room is always active, and full of friendly http://padwiki.net/ is the English version of the Chinese Wiki. The best source for the newest content, and the first site to post tomorrow's daily dungeons, often up to twelve hours in advance. Maintained by goons. Thanks Cless and Nendil! http://www.puzzledragonx.com/ is another English database. Has a "friend finder" for those times when goons just aren't enough. Contributed to by our own Unknown_PC!

Anyone on the Vishnu or Sarasvati train? I max-skilled both of them and I'd love to take them out for a spin but no one on my list runs them.

two_step posted:I think the post limit is now 2 Ronias. All you scrubs get out 2 Ronia-havers represent. Also, don't you just hate when you decide you'll spend your last 50 stamina right before leveling up running the dark mechdragon dungeon with your Athena team and somehow forget that the devils bind light monsters? I even had light orbs to kill it with but thought I'd stall. It didn't work out. Sigh. That's happened to me way more times than it should.

She's for real real too: quote:In the Poetic Edda, a famous myth discusses the theft of Mjölnir. Thrymskviða, or The Lay of Thrym, begins with Thor awakening to find his weapon missing. After alerting both Freyja, the goddess of love, beauty, and war, and his brother Loki of the theft, they begin to search the realm for the missing hammer. Loki approached the land of giants to discuss the theft with their king, Thrym. Thrym admits to stealing the hammer, and burying it “eight miles down, deep in the earth,” preventing anyone from himself from reaching it. In exchange for Mjölnir, Thrym wants Freyja as his bride.
