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: ?

Mardi Gras Approaches with New Creatures and New Habitat

Well, I was sorry to see the beautiful St. Valentine's Day creatures vanish from Age of Pyramids and Creatures of Olympus but there are some new additions in both games.

In the Underground in Age of Egypt, we have a new Scorpion/Frog Hybrid called Scorpioheq. Breeding time is 23 hours. (Credit to Shimoo)

In Creatures of Olympus, there is both a new Creature and a new Habitat in the Water Kingdom in the form of the Coral Habitat and the Ancient Turtle who inhabits it.  The cost of the Coral Habitat is 9000,000 Coins.  Evidently, it unlocks at Level 38 because a player who is a member of our Group at Level 30 who does not have the maximum number of habitats yet in the Water Kingdom found it locked with a prompt to the effect that it will unlock at Level 38.  I first bred the Ancient Turtle using a combination that included all four basic types and it took 1 day, 7 hours using a Polipodelphi with a Crayhorse.   I now have discovered the basic combination which is simply Seahorse and Dolphin which means that, provided always the Water Kingdom has been unlocked,  even players at fairly low levels can breed him although you will not be able to house him until you have reached Level 38.   He is quite a feisty character for his advanced age.  He breathes out fireballs and does rolls.

There are advantages and disadvantages to using two hybrids that include all four basic parent types.  The advantage of course is that you have a better chance of hitting the right combination EVERY time you breed.  The disadvantage is really where guide-writing is concerned, as the precise parentage is not established with this method.

The habitat takes 2 days to build and gives 60,000 Experience Points.   It can house two creatures.  You can upgrade it for 80 Diamonds.
