Former Apple Store Blurb posted:It is a large adventure at a puzzle! Credit also to DACK FAYDEN, messagemode1, No Friend of Gravity, Omelette du Fromage, jarch3r, Reiterpallasch and others from IRC who worked on this OP. 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). 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=QOwn9eGXGNc (Yes, the US version of the game is in English.) 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, current for 6.3. THIS LIST IS ALWAYS UP TO DATE. IT HAS NEVER BEEN OUT OF DATE, EVER. WE ARE BIG NERDS AND UPDATES TO THIS LIST ARE ALWAYS READY IN ADVANCE FOR ACTUAL GAME PATCHES. YOU CAN TRUST THIS LIST, DON'T WORRY. If the monster you roll from the Rare Egg Machine at the end of the tutorial isn't listed below, reroll!
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! 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://pad.wikia.com/ 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!

TO EVERYONE WHO WAS IN THE GOON SPREADSHEET: It certainly still exists, but PADHerder has more or less supplemented it - the wiki we're using for the New Player Guide above has a direct padherder friend finder linking system built in, for instance - so you should make a PADHerder with, at least, your leaders, and then be searchable.

New thread! Seriously, make a Padherder account; it's more efficient than spamming your friend ID in the thread. (Which, by the way, can we cut that out?)

Quoting to point out that padherder has some friend finding features now too. Also IRC works really well for getting specific leaders up etc.

The part about rerolling should be larger. It should be the entire OP, given how people never stop coming in to ask if it's okay to stay with whatever it is they rolled.

Also if anyone is thinking of jumping in: I played this game totally for free for ~7 months, and did a lot of the content in that time. Just because you don't have THE best team for something doesn't mean you can't figure out how to do it with what you have.

So, what's the consensus about rolling Hello Kitty REM if you're starting to play PAD right now? It's not my case, but I see it being a decent idea since it gives you a decent shot at an out-of-the-box (starter dragons take an ulti) 4-2-2 leader in three colors or a 12x almost non-conditional leader if you're really lucky. Might be a good option if you're not willing to reroll for an optimal monster.

# ? Jan 27, 2014 06:57 |
Once I get through Challenge Mode, I'll have a bunch of stones, but I doubt I'll roll the REM with them. There are monsters I want, sure, but the odds of me getting them are just too slim. I certainly wouldn't pay money at this point. I would, however, seriously consider dropping some more cash on this game if there were a way I could be more confident about getting something I actually want... Never going to happen, though, right?

Probably, but the starter dragon series from the Hello Poor Impulse Control REM are barely better than the regular starters (with exception of the green one, which makes for a decent sub) and I'd still place them behind regular 4/2/2 god leaders like Artemis/Freyja. I'd say that both TAMADRAPurin and Princess Valkitty are good starter rolls. In the case of Valkitty, you'd have enough offense to power through most early dungeons even off of unskilled goblins and carbuncles, and by the time you hit Castle of Satan you can start max-skilling orb changers off of survey dungeons and hopefully roll for better subs.

Might be a good option if you're not willing to reroll for an optimal monster. If the reroll dance is too for someone, sure, the kitty REMs are passable. But they're okay tier at best; someone settling for them will be worse off than someone who grinds through for one of the upper tier gods. Also bear in mind that the event REM monsters require evolution as well; you won't circumvent the need for pumping evolution mats into them to reach their full potential.

If I enter a dungeon with increased drop rates on something, and then I go do something else and the time on the increased rates runs out, do I still get the good drops or is it based on completion time?

Your drops are defined when you enter the dungeon, so I'm guessing you'd still get the increased rates.
