Bane, I didn't plan on doing more of this stopwatch timing, but since you said you were interested, I suffered through and took quite a few more timings. I reconfirmed that any dragon without a boost will earn at the published rate; however, any dragon with a boost, pos or neg, does not earn at the published rate. When I say "published" rate, I mean when you pull the screen up for a dragon, the dragon will have a number that depicts the amount of dragoncash it will earn in one minute. This number changes as you adjust the number of boosts that are influencing it, both pos and neg. Here are the results of my trials: One positive boost: published rate 49, actual rate 51. One pos boost: published rate 63, actual 66. Two pos boosts: published rate 258, actual 300. Three pos boosts: published rate 237, actual 344. Three pos and one neg: published rate 189, actual 229. Three pos and two neg: published rate 151, actual 172. Two pos two neg: published rate 207, actual 225. In Percentages: One boost performs about 4% more than the published rate. Two boosts perform about 16.5% more than the published rate. Three boosts perform about 45% more than the published rate. Three pos and one neg boost performs about 21% more than the published rate. Three pos and two neg boosts perform about 14% more than the published rate. Two pos two neg boosts perform about 8.5-9% more than the published rate. I do not own any dragons with 4 boosts so I could not do those tests, and I didn't feel like testing the really negative boosts. So there ya have it, BFS really is trying to confuse everyone.
