Disney Magic Kingdoms

Well, I didn't need to get Minnie's costume, but I did want it. And I was able to get all of her fabric without slowing down the process of getting what I needed for Li Shang. (I didn't send Mickey for her fabric until I after had everything I needed for Shang.) In the same vein, I'm still collecting tokens to level up Elsa (from 9 to 10) by sending all the Frozen characters after her items rather than collecting dragon currency for the Mulan event. I'm getting plenty of dragon coins from other characters, so I'm devoting the Frozen crew to where they can do more good, if that makes sense.

Same here. Fabric came pretty quickly for me and it wasn't holding me off from getting any other tokens. I'm welcoming her now, have Hans waiting to go to level 10, Mushu to level 3, and I'm just a few tokens away from welcoming Li Shang. So far so good.

I am slowly sending characters to fight Zurg (really just Rex, since he doesn't drop anything for this event). That being said, how long after he's defeated am I am able to welcome Minnie? I'd love to get her lunar costume, but not at the expense of not completing this event. So what I'm trying to figure out is, is it worth it to send more characters to fight Zurg to defeat him sooner? Or is Minnie out of reach for me during this event?

Welcoming Shang now. This event is far less stressful than the Frozen one so far. Anyone notice that the Lantern Attraction doesn't say complete Mulan Quests? Hope it doesn't cost gems. I used up most of my gems on Mushu.

Not that I am trying too hard with coin event but the leader board never loads and when off line it says need to be online to access

 

[Windwaker4444]

Haven't had any issues with my leaderboard. I'm on this leaderboard where no one is really collecting very much. I waited about 10 hours before I collected my first coin. I've been in first place without really trying. Wish is was like this when the prize was 40 gems!!

Can someone please explain the parades to me. They cost more then what I get back. Are they even worth it???

Mine is the same. I'm online and yet the board won't load. I have no idea where I'am on the board.

It depends on how what you define as worth it. Sometimes I get more magic back then I spent, sometimes less. I also get gems and items I need to welcome or upgrade characters. Given I'm sitting on 1.5 million magic so it's worth spending the magic/potions to get the items and potential gems.

I only have 24,000 magic. I was running 3 parades at once and that used 1,450 magic and wasn't getting enough back. I read that if you run a parade in the morning before you collect from the buildings that you get a higher %.

Yes, you get a higher % on collections so it's best to run parades when you'll be playing for awhile so you can take advantage of this perk.

I accidentally started the coin event way early on, and without much effort, I'm in the top 20. Either no one is playing the coin event or something weird is happening.
Welcoming Li Shang right now, got Minnie's costume last night. This event is definitely less stressful than the Frozen one.
I'm going away for the latter part of next week. Really hoping I can get Mulan or be close to it when I leave

Are you saying that I can get a higher rate of return on dropped items if I collect while a parade is running?? I've been playing about 4 months and I had no clue! For some reason, I've always chosen to start my parades after I do all of my morning collections.

Parades give you 5% bonus magic from all of your buildings while in progress, so starting a parade should absolutely be the first thing you do before collecting anything else.

Thanks so much for the clarification!

If I click mickeys house I get 6 magic. Its the same during the parades. Are some buildings exempt from the % bonus

 

[aussiebill10]

Well I decided to send Li Shung on his 6 hr task while I go to bed and the training barracks takes 4 hrs to build
Most ears he needs for level 3 are 4 hr tasks for others except Musha
So good night from Australia catch up tomorrow
Wow just noticed I have earned my ears and now a Mouseketeer lol

Mickey's house is a bad example because it only gives 5. 5% of 5 is .25 which probably gets rounded away to nothing. Take a look at a higher-magic building, it should have an additional bonus beyond the +10% happiness bonus during a parade.

So does a lottery ticket, and that how is you should consider the parade. You are paying magic for a chance to win a token or gems. It's the only way to convert magic to gems, and many of us have more magic then we could ever use. So yes, they are worth it even though they don't pay out most times.

When the event is over, you will still be able to level up the characters right. I can upgrade mushu to 3, but want to focus on li shang

Since Mulan will be available on Monday, I would advise getting Li Shang to at least level 3, THEN get Mushu leveled up. If you look at the task list for each character, you will see that some of them say level up to level X before it activates. Usually those are the levels required to do certain quests or won't start dropping character tokens for future characters till you are at that level, so for Li Shang, there is a quest at level 3, and then at level 6, so I would focus on those targets as goals around trying to welcome Mulan. Once the event is over, try to get all your characters to level 10 around your main storyline quests, as often characters from other stories will drop certain tokens once they are level 10 and you will be in a better place, token drop wise, for the next event.
