New Sorcerers for Spring in Age of Pyramids and new breeds in Creatures of Olympus

Last updated on Monday, 22 May with new Sorcerer and new Coral Habitat Salamander.

As of Monday, 3 April, there is a new Underground Habitat in the form of the Sorcerer Habitat and two new Creatures to inhabit it in the form of the Sorcerer Nugera and the Sorcerer Tsiskha.  Breeding information below.

In Creatures of Olympus, we recently experienced the addition of a new Habitat in the Water Kingdom in the form of the Coral Habitat, where the Ancient Turtle and now the Jellyfish live.


Age of Pyramids
xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sorcerer Habitat:
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

This Underground habitat is unlocked at Level 47 and costs 1900,000 Stones to build.  It takes 4 days to complete and when completed, will house two Creatures.  The cost of upgrading this habitat is 2500000 Stones.

At present, there are TWO new Creatures for this habitat in the form of the Sorcerer Nugera. and the Sorcerer Tsiskha.   You will see the breeding combinations below...

I purchased and cloned my first Sorcerer Nugera.  Breed and clone time is 1 day, 18 hours, changing instantly to 1 day, 17 hours... so now I have two of these gorgeous creatures.  Frismos confirmed that the breeding combination is Scorpion and Bennu.



Thus:
Sorcerer Nugera
  Bred from Bennu and Scorpion
  Breeding time: 1 day, 18 hours, changing instantly to 1 day, 17 hours


Sorcerer Tsiskha
  Bred from Scarab and Serpopard
  Time: 2 days (confirmed now by me)



Sorcerer Nenet
  Bred from: Frog and Bennu
  Breed time: 2 days

Sorcerer Ahmar
  Bred from ?
  Time: 2 day, 6 hours

Obtaining Stone
xxxxxxxxxxxxx

The farthest location on the Map where you can send your Ships for Stone is Thinis where in 2 days for the price of 400000 Coins, you will receive 40,000 Stones.

Your ability to purchase additional Ships as well as your ability to send them longer distances on the Map depends on your Level.  The Ships are very inexpensive at any Level, although the price of a new Ship increases gradually.

A far more efficient way to obtain Stone is via a Stone Quarry in the Underground.  A Stone Quarry costd 300,000 Coins to build (giving 5000 XP) and the original Stone Quarry has two options:

Small Pack costs 200000 Coins and gives 10,000 Stones after 6 hours.
Medium Pack costs 400000 Coins and gives 20000 Stones after 12 hours.

When you upgrade the Stone Quarry, you will have two more options:

Large Pack costs 11000000 Coins and gives 60000 Stones after 24 hours.
Extra Large Pack costs 2000000 Coins and gives 90000 Stones after 36 hours.

As you can see, you receive more Stones faster when you use a Stone Quarry than you will with your beautiful Ships but it always is a good idea to keep both Ships and Quarries active at all times.  You never know when more Stones will be needed in this game.  A good example of this is the new Sorcerer Habitat!

Creatures of Olympus
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

In Creatures of Olympus, there is a fairly recent addition to the types of Habitats you can purchase in the Water Kingdom.  The new Habitat is the Coral Habitat that houses the new Ancient Turtle and a new Jellyfish.  Do not confuse this Jellyfish with the Olympic Jellyfish!

The Coral Habitat costs 9000000 to build and gives 60,000 XP when completed.  It houses two Creatures at present in the form of the Ancient Turtle, bred from Seahorse and Dolphin and the Jellyfish, bred from Seahorse and Octopus.  Breed times below.  The Coral Habitat is unlocked at Level 38.

Ancient Turtle
  Bred from Seahorse and Dolphin
  Time: 1 day, 7 hours

Jellyfish
  Bred from Seahorse and Octopus
  3 days

Manta Whale
  Bred from Dolphin and Octopus
  1 day, 12 hours (changing instantly to 1 day, 11 hours)  (Aeriawyn and Queen60)

Salamander
  Bred from ?
  Time: ?

St. Patrick's Day in Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus




(Above, screenshots of St. Patrick's Dragon in Age of Pyramids, St. Patrick's Dragon in Creatures of Olympus and finally, St. Patrick Lady and Man together in Egypt)

As of Friday, 17 March, St. Patrick's Day Creatures are available both in Egypt and Olympus.  They are Creatures that veteran players may have from a previous year, but for new players, you may find the St. Patrick's Lady available as a special 24 hour promotion in both games and the St. Patrick's Man available in the Market, which means that you can obtain him through breeding as well.  In Egypt, there is a new St. Patrick's Dragon Vizier Creature.

N.B.  The St. Patrick's Dragon is a rather sweet green Creature who abides in the Nature Habitat and tosses shamrocks into the air periodically.

The following is a new creature but it appears to be a permanent addition to Hades:

Feeding your Creatures
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

This has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day but I thought it would be amusing to share some photographs of the tremendous differences that can exist between a 'baby' Creature at Level 1 and a fully grown one at any Level from 4 up to 20, depending on the habitat or habitats of the Creature.  Below are two screenshots of the most terrifying Creature in Egypt.  His name is Shezmu and most players adore him.  He scared me, frankly, and his size was a little off-putting as he towered over all the other Creatures... he is one of the Revive Creatures that you create using Tokens from Creatures you have sacrificed by literally sending them down the river in a boat.  I did not revive him until now, partly because he frightened me and partly because I wished to save my Tokens for a possible seasonal creature.  I finally caved, though and revived Shezmu... so here he is as a fledgling, newly sprung from his cradle and here he is at Level 10 as well, tossing his enormous scythes in the air.




Well, I have had my fun with the poor Creature.  I suppose I ought to feed him and empower him!
