dragonZone Research Orbs
I see the faeries have been busy. Happy Easter and thanks.
A question
If you trade for "facades" do you lose the points you are keeping for the "Blaze Materialiser" dZtrophy?

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Yes. The wording has been updated to reflect having a current balance vs. just having collected.
Bronze, Silver and Gold materialisers have now been added, so you should see if you can collect them while the going is good.

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Thank you faeries for the new trophies. I am lucky to have got them all when I checked but there were no points awarded. A touch of fairy dust might be needed so the points materialise.caughtatwork wrote: ↑11 April 20 12:33 pm

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Noticed that the Easter Egg Icon has disappeared from the GCA Home Page
Was wondering how to look at the Easter Monday Research Points and how to make a claim for Monday
Cheers OldSaint

Ditto
I found the link in my history but there's nothing there either except a heading.

"We hope you enjoy the orb research materials as they move you closer to trading for in-game and real-world items."
Real-world items?
Real-world items?

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Sooner or later, when the coffers build, yes, you will be able to trade for a real-world item. They will never be for sale and so the only way to get them is to build your bank of research materials and splurge when they are offered. We do have some other non-tangible tradable items on the way but they may take some time as my artistic and design skills need lots of help to get to the right result.

Do you need help with this, or just time?caughtatwork wrote: ↑19 June 20 10:29 amWe do have some other non-tangible tradable items on the way but they may take some time as my artistic and design skills need lots of help to get to the right result.

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Just time. They're all vectors (.svg) and need to be created in a way that has no transformations or matrix manipulations. They also need to be grouped and set as a symbol to work as a single file that has a viewBox into the specific areas. It's not impossible to learn, but they are quite tricky to create as I like to try and minimise the size of the file as well.
e.g. Raw SVG file
https://geocaching.com.au/pics/dragonzone.svg
Processed SVG file
https://geocaching.com.au/pics/dragonzones.svg
Output which displays the images, but does contain spoilers.

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Yes these orbs are cute. It is fantastic to get some bonus research points. I thought we had one to claim today? The orb has disapeared though from the GCA page.
Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Mine has disappeared too with one day to claim - hope it re-appears today Cheers

Re: dragonZone Research Orbs
Sorry, but the solstice orbs are now complete. They run for 7 days through to end of the 24th of June. We may have missed the first day, but the solstice is now over and there is no catch up.

Thanks for letting us know the situation. I appreciate the bonus points I received.
