I am level 33

83 crystals?! Do you sleep? Wow...

I am at Level 45. And it is here the same.
2 Invasions. 3 villains in total and i would say i have not seen more than 10 or 12 traptanium crystal, and i could harvest 8 of them.


ANother question:
Do those villains always enter the LI with a splash message. Or can they appear silent as well?
If so, i maybe have to take a closer look. Because if there is no splash message i dont look for them.

I've seen three villians and have about seven traps, plus the three I've used, so that makes ten total.

I have got 20 something crystals and only two invasions. The same invasion of chill bill and trap chest two different times.

Invasions do seem to be REALLY uncommon. In a week I've seen two invasions, two villains each with 3 total different ones. I get maybe one to three Traptanium a day.

Sheep Creep, Wolfgang and Pain Yatta all turned up in my kingdom last night - not on a full launch of the game but it was after waking it up from being asleep for an hour or so.

Didn't bother paying 100 gems for Pain Yatta but grabbed the other two.

Sheep Creep was 2500 energy by the way.

So far Sheep Creep has been a worthy investment, 3 clears and received 2 gems and 2 wishstones (second giant sheep had one of each).

So my figures are now 7 villains, 91 traptanium cleared. I don't think running out of traps is ever going to be an issue based on the relative appearance rates in my game!

Oodles of my Traptanium seems to have been misplaced into your kingdom ABennett, you hoarder!

I find one or two crystals daily and about two villiains once every two or three days.

Very sorry for my Traptanium hoarding, maybe I'll let some disappear without harvesting and see if it moves on to other kingdoms!


Here are Sheep Creep and Chomp Chest with their Energy costs:

Edit of the initial posting!

Open question:
Has anybody find out if villains sometimes enter your LI without a splash screen notification? I did not noticed it so far.

Karo, I want to say yes, but I'm not 100% positive. Fairly sure I've found bad guys as I've opened LI, but definitely haven't seen them just POP.

it hasn't happened for me yet...

Also I had an "invasion" while I was playing. About 10 minutes into actively working the iPad, and I still got a notification. One was buzzer Beak, so I ended up keeping it open for a half hour or more!

I scored myself a Wallop and Wild Fire . Crystal forging sounds like fun fun fun .

2 days no villins.

I finally had my first villains last night and this morning! I got Chill Bill and Pain Yata at the same time. They're a great combination, especially if you have a lot of mobs hanging around. Automatic checks that are automatically cleared.

I forged my first earth trap today . Kinda felt like i was fighting sheep or trolls . Not even a cool forge sound effect or hammer banging sound .

The few villains I have got have been just before I am going to bed. I haven't been able to use their abilities and they don't last long enough. The one time I was playing for a couple of hours while having a trapped villain, nothing popped that corresponded with his abilities. Oh well.

Me too. All of my villains (ok - the same 2 over and over again) appear late at night when I'm setting my island up for overnight.

Edit: OK - right after posting this, I checked my island and had Grinnade waiting for me - maybe all I had to do was complain!

found traptanium and made a water trap, but no chill bill.

I've trapped Dr. Krankcase twice, which for me is pretty useful since I'm not one of those swimming in excess energy. I've been hoarding gold waiting for Wolfgang, since I still have plenty of skylanders to spin for. No sign yet.

I have 20 water traps. No chill bill in sight

At least thanks to trading I have other trap masters so I finally got other traps and have trapped other villians lol. But it's funny how I've got all these water traps and no villain. It's like he KNOwS....

I haven't seen Wolfgang or Sheep Creep. But I also rarely get any traptanium crystals. So, oh well. I've paid gems to trap most of them. They aren't worth the gems, but I had plenty to spare, and to me, it was just like I was paying to unlock them. Plus my OCD keeps me from ignoring them. I'm not sure I'll spend gems, again, on any of them.

Yeah gem cost is definitely not worth it unless you have them to burn. I blew 100 on Painyatta simply because you can't get him otherwise, but he popped up again this morning and I left him wandering around. I'll do it once to get rid of the nagging question mark, but after that unless I have a trap no dice. Have fun in my kingdom, dude.

Thanks for this, I WAS confused at first, I thought you needed the Tablet Version of Lost Islands to capture them, otherwise I'd be up a creek without a paddle

Were you meaning the tablet version of Trap Team?

Aren't spins usually 2.5 mil? I caught Wolfgang and it didn't give me the half off discount.

Nope. They are 5 million. The first few might be lower though.

based on past experiences, the costs do ramp up...starting at 5,000, the cost of spins goes up depending on how many skylanders you have.

When we started our first game, it was many weeks after the boys had "put away" the sticker poster. And it was a while after that before we knew how to find the codes, so the first several spins were the only skylanders we had. Those ramped up by just a few thousand gold at first, and then to 1M, 2.5M and 5M

But when we lost our game and had to restart, we first input all our figures, hoping that we'd be able to spin for SLs we didn't have yet.

The first spin was 5,000 but the next spin (with 40 or so codes) was 5,000,000

As I am starting a new game (my old one crashed at level 45) I have yet to build up my stash of gold, energy and gems. Is it worth to use your gems catching villains at all?

I do have a lot of regular skylanders, as well as giant and swapforce skylanders, but no Trap Team skylanders (yet). so I won't be catching traps anytime soon.

The only one I fancy is the one that fills your luckmeter twice as fast (I don't have many wishstones), but other than that I don't see the reason to throw in gems for some uncertain payout.

Any thoughts on this?

Never spend gems in the wishing well. Save the gems for shrines, which will then increase your wishstone production.

While wishing for the Alter-Ego is random, you need to expect it to take around 180 wish stones. With the luckmeter filling twice as fast, it's reasonable to expect 90 wish stones would be enough to get it. So I would say if you have 90-100 wish stones saved up, it's near the end of the month (so unlikely to get the alter-ego through normal wishing), and you really want it, it would be worth spending the gems to catch this villain.

Otherwise, I'd ignore the villains and concentrate on building up.

Nope the villains are not worth your Gems .

I think Swopforce is more important then Trap Team on your Lost Islands

My fave villains are Doctor Krankcase and Wolfgang . I usually have enough wishstones for the Alter Ego . You have a whole month to toss wish stones for the Alter Ego .

They do exist!

You have Blastermind already?! I haven't even finished wave two!

Such symmetry in those trap numbers ... Til you get to that lone magic one... Lol

Haha - indeed. A long road ahead to get the magic numbers up to scratch, my OCD is most unhappy with the present situation!

Holy cow - 34 and 35 traps?!!? I have a hard time keeping 2 of each type around!

You know i get the feeling some of these villains dont do their jobs properly . I dont notice a difference on the villains who increase chance of so and so things happening .

I don't think I have even had enough traps to get that many (including those I have used), and I play daily (multiple times a day). How is that even possible? Lol

I still only get a villain once or less a week. I play all day every day

Yes. I agree....their quarterly performance reviews are definitely lacking. No raise for them!

I think certain villains can be downright scam artists...


I would like a villain that, when trapped, would increase traptanium appearing. I get it fairly regularly, but it would be nice to stock up.

Managed to trap ThreatPack today--he was a low amount of potions like 3-400??

I had several mobs laying around so I got them all--and I have to admit, he's pretty nice. You don't have to go chasing and accidentally miss one when it gets close to a tree or whatever.
