Thanks Fletch. This weekend I'm breeding Panlongs in the Cave so I'll use the Island for your recommended combos. W.r.t. Gem dragons, I've decided that one for each month is sufficient for me - allows me to escape the race as soon as possible and focus on other dragons.
50 Panlongs, 8 Papers, Rainbows, Double Rainbows, Leap Year, 2 Equinoxes, SE, LE, 3 Solstices, 2 Apocalypses, Gold, Platinum, 4 Seasonals, 6 Bronze Olys, 6 Silver Olys, Cyclops, Sandstorm, a healthy Gemstone Dragon Island and Kairos. Lvl 45 --- Gizmonauts: started 1/Nov/2012. Lvl 50 9 Astros, 1 Steam, 2 Thermals, 2 Hydros and 4 Nuclears --- GCID: guiriguanche AKA: Dave

Hi, I'm new here. Totally addicted, been playing since very start of sept, at level 25, 14/16 achievements completed. I've got nearly everything, have upgraded everything, but I'm stuck on a few last dragons. Would you help me please?!!
All I need to get the last 2 achievements (all dragons and 2x rainbow) is:
Gold Oly (I have lots of bronze and silver using Moss + Sonic, Crystal + Water or Quake + Rain. Have been trying to get Gold using Silver + Bronze in the Enchanted Breeding Cave with no joy).
Gold + Silver Treasure (Been trying Fire + ironwood; cold + any metal)
2nd Rainbow. (Been doing seaweed + firefly constantly on Epic Breeding Sanctuary for a week. Fluked the 1st one while breeding for a Blue Moon with ice + scorch).
I have successfully bred every epic and limited dragon that has been available since September, (suns, moons, seasonals, rainbow, blue moons, sapphire, opal, equinox, bones, lots of papers and lots of panlongs, both of which I used to bump up the shrines to silver).
Up to this point it's been easy but I've hit a wall. Been stuck here for many levels now but I refuse to give in and buy the last few.
Can you offer any better suggestions please?

Hi Sarah. Welcome. Good to see you here.
First up, any combination that will give you a rare/limited dragon is the same as any other % wise. There are no better combinations in that way. The only thing you have control over is how many fails you have, and what the average fail time is. And also, what combinations you can use that cover more than one dragon, which is what we do in this thread.
Copper/Magnetic + Panlong Olympus, Gold Treasure and Rainbow
Copper/Magnetic + Paper Silver Treasure, Gold Treasure and Rainbow

Thank you. I was using firefly + seaweed for that reason, because the fails weren't too long. (And anything to avoid getting another crystal keeps me from tearing my hair out). Love the idea of using 2 combos to get all of them. I'd been trying to get each one separately with different recipes but it's been slow and painful. Much appreciated. Thanks again!

Well to end a really crappy few weeks here I might've known I can count on DV to cheer me up. I actually have the best hatchery I've ever had and have a Gold, Current, Scoria and Dodo currently incubating - go me! I suppose something has to make up for our car being written off and my injuries and this has gone some way towards it. Thanks again Myke for your help. My list has been reduced quite markedly and I only need another Frostfire, Sandstorm, Quicksilver, Seasonal and a Gold Olympus before I have 2 of everything, well except this new little ghosty dragon. I'm pretty sure I've got to solely try for these dragons now rather than hope for multiple outcomes with certain combinations.

Hello Tanzanyte. If I were to agree with you that there are no double-up combination opportunities, then we'd both be wrong.
I'm sorry to hear that there is some poopie-poop going on in your life. I'm here to help Check these out:
Ghost and Olympus = Mountain + Butterfly, Bloom + Dodo/Standstorm, Paper + Sonic (lots of long fails in here, though, so maybe stay away)
Ghost and FrostFire = Bone/Lava + Cold
Sandstorm, Ghost, and Seasonal = Air + Paper (a mix of short fails and medium fails, but also a Rainbow)
Aren't things starting to look up already? Yeah, I have that affect on people.
Okay, I'll bet there's no easy way to do this, but I still lack Frostfire, Ghost, Opal 2, and Ironwood. Any ideas?
Opal is Opal is Opal, so that one is Mud and Lava, and we all know what the fails are for that.
As for the others, there is one double-upping possible.
Ghost and FrostFire = Cold+Sakura or Cold+Bone/Lava. Technically, Cold+Sakura has a shorter average fail time, but there's a risk of Rainbow and a bunch of stuff. I prefer Cold+Bone/Lava as there are only three fails (Bone, Lava, Mountain).
As for Ironwood, nothing going there. Try working it into your shrine grind. Which Metal hybrid do you need for your grind? Mine/Steel? Magnetic? Add a Plant Dragon to the mix for a chance at Ironwood.
You are awesome, Fletch. Just settled in to start these after working on Kairos all weekend and got a 36 hour, then a 48 hour from copper + panlong after only a few tries. (Edit: and after 2 more tries now a gold treasure as well!!). I'm very impressed and awfully happy. I'd send you a gem in appreciation but because you don't want one, here's a big thanks: THANK YOU![/size]

I started a couple of weeks ago, and I just want to get the ones that will go away. I've gotten Bones several times and I'm at level 20. I would think I would have gotten Opal by now.
I think I need to work solely on Opal and Ghost, I'm I on the right track?

Hello and welcome! Just wanted to let you know Myke is off a lot on the weekends, and Fletch is still fast asleep in Australia. Didn't want you post to sit here all alone for hours. This is one I can handle. Yes, both of those dragons are limited so you will want to concentrate on them.
Regarding the Bone dragon, it is also limited. You say you have got them several times, did you keep 2? You will need 2 if you want to breed them after they are out of the market, or if you want to create an egg.
Happy to have you here, hope to see you in some of our other threads.

Yes, I've only sold air for gold and a couple lava/mud as they were a visible reminder of failure.
Do you have both the breeding cave and island? If you do, I'd recommend the ghost in cave, opal in island....until you have the number of dragons you want, of course. (2 ghosts, unless you don't want a pair for some reason) (Note that opals, like all gemstones, cannot breed so it's common for people to just hatch one and get a display egg if they have no time for spares...)
