I got the new LP house, and unlock LP Pop Fizz

So Mags will let you use up 5 of your unused traps and summon a villain to be active again. Could we not summon a villain before Mags?

Villains are traped for some time, some for 15 min and other up to 2 days.
My guess is that you can use 5 traps to capture any villain you already traped once.

No we couldn't summon them, we could capture them, though. Now you can choose when to have an active villain. But at 5 traps apiece, I don't think its worth it to do it all willy nilly. Maybe if someone appears on your island, like pain Yatta who gives a chest with every mob, you'd want to summon chill bill so they open faster, or buzzer beak so you get more mobs
Although if you are ABennet with 30traps of each element, you can do that a few times without it making a dent

If you had a lot of wish stones saved up, maybe someone like the Gulper would be useful as you double your luck meter increase with him.

With the rewards timed quests' been getting,send magic skylanders on 24h adventures 30 times? My life is not tied to the game,guys ._.
But Mags could really break the game if you have enough energy and traps. Combine Chill Bill, Painyatta and Buzzer Beak for your easy energy to gem farm; Krankcase,Golden Queen and an existing Ermit and see the gold number rise like you're on a Cookie Clicker-esque game.

well, flynn makes that a 16 hour mission.
but with plenty of balloons, and an empty adventure clock, doing it in just under a week is totally do able, only checking in twice a day.

As for sending trapmasters on elemental missions. those can be real quick. 30 minutes without flynn,

Screw a week. My wife and I will be done all the adventures tomorrow. Without time travel. Active pay time was about an hour doing 22 minute adventures, and once with the adventure clock for the 16 hour ones. They will all be done tomorrow afternoon.

I used my 5 air traps to summon dreamcatcher, which will increase the speed of leveling up L.P. PopFizz, Nitro Krypt King and Lovely Cobra Cadabra as they are not at their max level right now.
It is a nice improvement with mags.

Rage Mage is also very interesting for me as he gives +20 bonus on plants etc. Which reduces the time i need to collect those 15gems each time i fill my XP to maxiumum from 7 days to 5 days.

Does anyone know what the reward is for Mags and the elemental quest is? I am debating getting it just wondering how many gems you get back?

The timed quest reward for Mags is 10 Gems and 7500 Gold.

Logging in once a day to send your guys back out? That's not really having your life tied to the game.

Seriously, because if you have a moderate number of airships that's like 3 days. For people further along it is maybe two. Add in Flynn and the Adventure Clock and the time limit is trivial, the daily collection from Orville once a day for five days is really the limiting factor.

Not every quest is intended to be easily completed by lower level/less progressed folks. If these things are challenging for you to get done, then keep building up over time. This game does not require a significant time investment, maybe a few minutes a few times a day - if you don't have that free time or want to use it for something else other than an entertaining game, then by all means don't play. But don't complain that the game doesn't cater itself to your schedule or enable you to do everything no matter your effort.

No Flynn, no Adventure Clock, no Airships, only balloons.

But it's more because the reward is too small to be checking 10ish balloons for several days at different times; with the full mission time I'd have to be checking always at two times every day, and lately it's been kinda hard to check anything in time(quite slowed down in the Trap Team quest because I kept missing library times) since it's been kind of a rush to get things done before vacations are over. But if you have the companions and the items, it's probably pretty easy, but for 10 gems doing this without them isn't as worth it.

The non-timed Mags quest of harvesting traps means that I will be getting no traptanium any time soon. Which is very unfortunate I'm one trap away from having enough traps to summon the villain that reduces skylander spins by half (forget his name, but he's undead if I recall--don't have the game with me). I would have liked that to reduce the cost of spinning for the new Love Potion Pop Fizz, but oh well. Maybe next time.

My mgardn03 account only has the original island, so no sanctuaries. I can't complete the second trap master quest, so I don't get the trap house that I could really use.

I've actually been getting traptanium more than I was before (or the same as I do on good days...I haven't been getting much, lately). I already have 3 traptanium, and I only got the update, yesterday afternoon. On a similar note, though, I trapped Painyatta, yesterday, so I cleared all my troll and sheep camps to get chests. Just now, I get a quest for Nitro Krypt King to clear troll camps. Sadly only a couple had spawned since my massive clearing, yesterday.

And Wolfgang is the villain you are looking for. Not sure if it's worth 5 traps to save on spins, especially if you have lots of gold.

The only other undead villain is bone choppy...not that I'd use either one of them. I have quite using undead trap masters because I don't care to have either villain. I have enough gold that a full price spin barely shoes up...

Are you not drowning in excess gold yet ?

I can't be bothered to collect gold, so I only have about 20,000,000 coins. I spent the gold in this case. It's no big deal. But I have no use for most villains and Wolfgang (thanks obidawsn!) provides a nice benefit for lazy people like me. I will probably use an undead trap master to collect most traps going forward.

When I see traptanium I pull up the vault and see which element I have the fewest traps in and use that trap master. Easy peasy.

Gold and energy are useless to me, so I think the only ones I'd consider grabbing for 5 traps would be the gem producing ones:

Luminous - assuming I had a lot of time on my hands for some reason, long bus trip or something and could pump out 1 minute adventures for an hour or two
Tussle Sprout
Golden Queen
Pain-Yatta - but only once I'd built up a good collection of trolls/sheep to take advantage of him
Buzzer Beak
Sheep Creep - but only once I'd built up a good collection of 10+ sheep

Can't see any of the others being worth 5 traps.

Thats how I do it . I have about an even number of 10 traps for each element .

Not seen this mentioned anywhere so apologies if it has been.

Yesterday I got the message that my vault was full having trapped 3 villains. Might be a limitation for some of the possible combinations.

Can't remember who I had though; was in shock having not seen a villain in about 9 days!
