First ime in ages I have had quests I can get and I have four out of ten bats.

I should have just time shifted and got Diggs early.

Just time travel one day back and see if you get any bats. Then go back to the present day. Rinse and repeat until you get all bats you need.

Agreed. As long as you're prepared to regularly check the game, the quest rewards shouldn't be about luck. As for the relevant companion purchase - double the bats my arse.

Thanks for that. I capitulated.

As for checking regularly, I errrrr......... check my game a little too much.

While I am here I have 1,750 odd gems, 35,000,000 coins, I am on level 40. 12 B&Bs so I don't think I need houses in the near future. 25 shrines when they are working.

I was thinking of getting Diggs and maybe Quigley for the convenience or is there something better I should be doing?

Thanks

If your 25 shrines doesn't include at least three of each element, you'd be mad not to max out each element for the measly on sale cost of 75 gems each. Quigley was the LAST companion I purchased post-level 40, but with experience again counting for something, I'm finding him quite handy now that I've actually got a use for him. I've never been fond of anything that takes 100 taps to do what one tap should.

With Diggs, your 35 million gold is now worth about 1100 gems. So at the original 1000 gem price for Diggs, absolutely. At the new and 'improved' 2000 gems for Diggs, not so much, although once bought, he'll convert your future gold as well.

You don't mention if you've got all the skylanders, or whether you could spend some of that 35 million on more characters. For example, getting the new and sole earth swapper and finally guaranteeing that every set of bats gives off 2 gems has been VERY handy for me.

I should add that Diggs doesn't just convert gold to gems - he gives you the flexibility to SAVE gems.

Cost to spin for one skylander - 5 million gold. MINIMUM Diggs conversion for 5 million gold - 250 gems (and more likely 350 or even more).

Cost to buy one skylander with gems (on sale regularly at 50 per cent off) - a LOT less than 250 gems.

I have all shrines except air but I use my air Skylanders in the bird houses and HQs so they don't get a bonus anyway and never plant air crops.

Isn't Diggs half price brefore he disappears?

I forgot to add that I have all the Skylanders.

If you check frequently make sure that you are exiting the app (not a hard shutdown). In my experience if the game is running in the foreground, even on the lock screen, the bats can spawn and chew through the timer before you check back. If the app is running in the background chompies/bats don't seem to spawn until you enter the app.

Pic,o I followed your advice, opened the game after 6 hours, zero bats.

This would explain all the "crumbling" sounds I've been getting. I am completely paranoid about things timing out, so I know I fully search my islands each time before closing, but, over the past week or two, I've been getting the crumbling you've missed something sound regularly as soon as I turn the iPad on and return to the island.
