what helps me a lot, with my strategy of upgrading shrine to gold level, is blog here: http://dragonvale.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Lotrtfotr/Shrine_cost The user Lotrtfotr made a lot of beautiful work, for which i am really thankful. But i found little improvement. Even if there is two wisest choices to upgrade all shrines to gold (Nr.1 and Nr.2), because they requires least dragons to be leveled to level 15 (134 dragons total only). I do not like these much. Here they are (h-hours, m-minutes, s-seconds): Nr.1 : 50 panlongs(36h), 33 blooms(13h), 17 mines(10h), 17 magnetics(4h), 16 malachites/ironwoods(12h for both), 1 plant(15s) Nr.2 : 50 papers(12h), 33 libertys(29h49m), 17 fogs/rains(8h for both), 17 rusts(6h), 16 currents/plasmas(16h for both), 1 water(4h) Nr.2 saves 570 hours of breeding time ! Both ideas require 134 dragons to be leveled to level 15. But as i said, i do not like any of those theories, because both requires 2 limited type dragons. My idea require only 1 limited type dragon. I found out nice idea. It will need little more dragons to upgrade all shrines to gold (150 dragons exactly) so it is less efficient, but I think it has nice ratio cost/breeding times, where cost is total cost for upgrading all shrines to gold. So here is my theory: My idea: 50 papers(12h), 50 magnetics(4h), 50 fogs/rains(8h for both) I prefer rain rather than fog, but it is up to you. This is my improvement to strategy written by lotrtfotr, where he recommends 50 rust(6h) and 50 sonic(8h) instead of my idea including 50 magnetics and 50 fogs/rains (my idea saves 100 breeding hours). best regards fun145
