We knew they were coming and Dragon Mystery Bags are finally here (1). Dragon Mystery Bags replaced Harvest Mystery Bags which replaced Gold Mystery Bags.They are the same things with the exception of the special loot item inside select bags. The Home Page banner claims that they will be available for one day but we saw the other bags hang around for sometimes up to 72 hours.
If you missed the banner, there is also a half ad on the Ad Module.
It looks like Zynga made a mistake and place Gold Mystery Bags on the flash header for Free Gifts. At the time of this post, only Dragon and Gold Mystery Bags were showing.
You can find Dragon Mystery Bags on the Free Gift Page.
Use the link below to go directly to the send page. The more you send, the more you will get back. You can only accept 20 per day but you will want as many as possible in your ZMC to increase the odds that you will have 20 tomorrow or the day after Zynga turns them off.
I had a ZMC full of these things. It may be difficult for players who get a lot of gifts to store 20 in their ZMC as old gifts get bumped when new ones come in. To help, stay on top of your ZMC and clear it out regularly. It will also be a good idea not to gift blast other gifts until the Dragon Mystery Bags are removed from the game. If you want to use the Gift Blaster, make sure you only blast Dragon Mystery Bags.
The contents of Dragon Mystery Bags proved to be the same as Harvest and Gold Mystery Bags. These special bags offer the same items as Blue Mystery Bags but the good items are better. You will get +5 energy, +5 attack, +1 skill and +1 reward points, a stamina boost and an item on your wishlist. You will still be able to get the good items from Blue Mystery Bags as well so make sure you have utilized all your stamina before opening.
Dragon Mystery Bags contain loot items as well. Any loot that you get from Blue Mystery Bags will also appear in Dragon Mystery Bags. The difference is you will get 2 items instead of 1.
You can also get one of the first 3 items from the Disco Collection.
The best loot item which replaced the Canister Rifle from Gold Mystery Bags and the Mayflower Compact from Harvest Mystery Bags is the Chinese Dragon.
Not everything is great. I haven’t seen anyone report Thai Bhat, but that is still contained in Blue Mystery Bags. I got “some Fear and Loathing”. It sounds cool but this item has stats of 24/17!
Once you open 20 Dragon Mystery Bags, you will be told that you hit your limit for the day. Your Dragon Mystery Bag will be converted into a Blue Mystery Bag and the fun it over.
If Zynga imposes a limit on a gift, they should offer us a way to track how many we have opened. As demonstrated by the images above, that is not preset with Dragon Mystery Bags. If they can do it with Artillery Shells they should be able to provide us with the same for Dragon Mystery Bags.

"Some fear and loathing" is from one of the first scenes of Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. We're entering bat country :)
ReplyDeleteI got Thai Bhat.
ReplyDelete@First Anonymous, You're absolute true. I love that movie!
ReplyDeleteone day only and they imposed a limit? Cheap Zynga!
ReplyDeleteA Yo Eleven!? Sweet! Wait a minute.....FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWhy put a limit on a one day deal?
ReplyDeleteI fear the new bags brought a new glitch/bug. I was only able to open 12 gifts today before it said I had maxed out on *all* gifts. So precious few dragon mystery bags for me. Sux, and I'm seriously thinking about quitting the game over this. Every time there's a new feature, I get screwed out of whatever it is while most others get all the goodies. Unfairness in who can get what is a big factor in my friends all quitting the game. Sad thing is, Zynga doesn't care and you can no longer reach ANYONE in customer support. It's like they've shut down.
ReplyDeleteI just got Thai Bhat from a mystery bag(May 20, 2012)...I was kind of confused!
