This thread is to help those who need a dragon or twin from the Cooperative Breeding Cave
If you’re new to DragonVale or the DragonVale Community Forum, here are some common terms you may see in this thread.
Blue Heart - tapping on the heart in the upper left corner of the dragon’s profile card will turn it blue 💙 that dragon will now be available for your friends to breed with in the Cooperative. (Warning: if you Retry a breed or breed with a different dragon than the one that’s blue hearted, you will need to blue heart the dragon again. Otherwise, the last dragon you bred with in the Cooperative will be available to your friends.) Clone - using the target dragon in the breeding pair Co-op - Cooperative Breeding Cave Double-parent clone - both parent dragons are the target dragon OP - original post/poster Single-parent clone - one parent is the target dragon Target dragon - the dragon the player is trying to breed TW - Twin Weekend
On this thread you can make four different types of co-op requests
1. DRAGON NEEDED: Players that need to clone a dragon can post a request asking members to put it in the co-op.
2. TWIN NEEDED: Players that need a twin can post a request asking members to put it in the co-op.
3. DRAGON AVAILABLE: Post what dragon you currently have in the co-op so members can breed/clone with it.
4. DV HELPER: Those who are willing to help others breed or twin any dragon can post this open request. The respondent chooses the dragon. The DV Helper may have some restrictions, like excluding Lullaby (if they don’t own Lullaby), or if they’re helping with twins they may specify double parent cloning, etc. Basically, the DV Helper will help the respondent breed or twin any dragon they request.
Make a Request
At the top of your post, add the type of request: DRAGON NEEDED, TWIN NEEDED, DRAGON AVAILABLE, DV HELPER, then provide the information and include your Friend ID. All four types of requests will be linked at the bottom of this post. So if you need a dragon or want to help a member, you can quickly review this post, see what’s been requested, and click the link.
Sample request
DRAGON NEEDED Seeking the Valeodon dragon in the co-op Friend ID: DragonVale#7890 Thanks!

If you have an extra account or an open co-op, and see a poster you’d like to help, please reply to the post and let them know you’ll breed the target dragon with their co-op dragon. Be sure to friend them in your game and provide your Friend ID so they can add back.
For example, if Sid responded to the above request and agreed to put Valeodon in the co-op for DragonVale#7890…
DRAGON NEEDED Seeking the Valeodon dragon in the co-op Friend ID: DragonVale#7890 Thanks!
Hi DragonVale#7890! I put Valeodon in the co-op and added you. You can added me back at Sid#1234. Thank you!
… Sally could also respond to DragonVale#7890 and offer to breed her Valeodon with whatever dragon DragonVale#7890 has in the co-op.
DRAGON NEEDED Seeking the Valeodon dragon in the co-op Friend ID: DragonVale#7890 Thanks!
DragonVale#7890 I will breed my Valeodon with the dragon you have in the co-op. I’ve added you, you can add me at Sally#4321
Other Important Information
• If a player replies to someone’s offer to help them or asks them for help, please do not hijack the request by responding to it. However, if the request has gone unanswered for more than 12 hours, then it has become an open request and anyone can respond.
• To keep this thread up to date, all expired requests will be removed from this thread. For more information about when posts will be taken down, please see the below post.
• If you have any questions, free to ask them on this thread. Thanks everybody, and koala with those co-op dragons!
DRAGONS PERMANENTLY AVAILABLE
Due to their helpfulness and popularity, the following dragons will be permanently available at the Cooperative Breeding Cave. If you need these dragons or would like to have them consistently accessible at the co-op, please add the park and create a request post on this thread. The park will add you back.
We have some new changes for the Cooperative thread. These improvements will help Forum staff and members by providing an easier process to see what players have available in the co-op and to make a request.
LIST OF ACTIVE REQUESTS WITH LINKS ON THE FIRST POST
Forum admins and mods have been adding each co-op request to the first post, including a link to the request, the requester’s Friend ID, and the status of the request. Due to many players using the thread regularly, lots of alt/mini-parks, and frequent changes to the co-op dragons, we have decided to stop listing the active requests. In the end, it’s not a good use of the staff’s time, most players don’t look at the first post, and the information is already on the thread.
There will only be several parks listed on the first post. These parks have helpful or regularly requested dragons permanently in the co-op. This will ensure players can clone, breed, and use these dragons at any time without concerns that the dragon may be changed. The dragons that will be permanently available are Ocular, Iden, Rainbow, and Plant.
TIMELINE FOR THE REMOVAL OF POSTS
The Cooperative thread is different from other Forum threads. Expired and old posts are taken down, so the thread remains current and prevents players from scrolling through obsolete requests.
Since there was some confusion about when posts will be removed, here is a timeframe for all the different types of requests and how long they can remain on the thread. Please be aware that some posts may stay longer depending on the content and the availability of the Forum’s staff.
OPEN REQUEST: Request with no response or no-one has been able to help
Open requests will be removed after 7 days (player should repost request)
CLOSED REQUEST: A player is helping the requester
Closed requests will either be removed when it expires (the requested dragon is bred) or after 7 days — whichever is shorter
EXPIRED REQUEST: The requested dragon has been bred
Expired requests will be removed by staff at their earliest convenience
CONVERSATIONS / MISCELLANEOUS POSTS
Any conversations or posts that are not a request will be removed after 24 hours or when the parties involved have all logged in — whichever is shorter. If you’ve been active on the Cooperative thread, please be sure to check it when you’re on the Forum.
UPDATED POSTS
Players may have a post with the dragons they need and/or dragons available and it will not be removed, provided that they regularly update their post. If the post has not been updated in 7 days, it will be taken down. If you’re interested in starting a post like this, please contact either MinyaZ, samiam, or adlerist so we can be sure it is not accidentally removed. There are currently one example of Updated Posts by Worms.
Posts are not deleted, so if a player needs their post restored, please inform a staff member.
POSTING A REQUEST
The type of requests will remain the same: Dragon Needed, Dragon Available, Twin Needed, DV Helper (see the first post on this thread for more information).
We would like to ask players to use the following format to make a request (Spinky is used in the examples):
DRAGON NEEDED: SPINKY (text if needed) Friend ID
DRAGON AVAILABLE: SPINKY (text if needed) Friend ID
If players do not use this format, staff will edit the post and add it. This will ensure it’s clear which dragon is requested and that the Friend ID is included. DV Helper is the only request that does not require a dragon in the header.

~Updated Post~ CURRENT REQUEST: DRAGONS AVAILABLE AND REQUESTED: JESTER, PLATE
I've currently paused all other requests while I attempt to get this event's clone-onlies and their pedestals. If I need a particular clone-only I'll update this request.
Request(s) that are currently on hold are placed under this spoiler tag so I don't lose them, but they also don't get confused with current requests. I don't want these dragons at the moment.
DRAGONS AVAILABLE AND REQUESTED: SUMMERTHINGS MAGICAL DRAGONS
I'd like to double parent clone the following dragons for pedestals, in descending order of priority; the ones in bold are ones that people haven't offered to put up already: Professo (20%), Scribe (20%)*, Mushry (20%), Invento (20%), Prestige (20%), Puffles (15%), Fuefuego (20%), Binky (20%), Jumpiplop (20%), PonkiPong (20%), Prestina (5%), Darkmatter (5%), Morphimagus (5%). I'm happy to add you even if you don't have the dragon. Scribe/Puffles is my current top priority. I don't need dragons that aren't in bold to be put up, but I've kept them listed because I'll have them up at some point, so if you want them add me and let me know your friend ID. *Someone might put Scribe up for me but I'm waiting for them to reply.
DRAGONS AVAILABLE AND REQUESTED: ANNIVERSARY DRAGONS
I'd like to double parent clone the following dragons for pedestals (they all have equal priority and all have 10% double parent cloning odds in Co-Op): Embossed, Garland, Ironwrought, Nacre, Terracotta, Tien. I'm happy to add you even if you don't have the dragon but it would be great if someone could put one of them up so that I can double parent clone.
DRAGONS AVAILABLE AND REQUESTED: GALAXY DRAGONS
I'd like to double parent clone the following dragons for pedestals (they all have equal priority and all have 20% double parent cloning odds in Co-Op): Andromedan, Antarian, Arcturian, Celerulean, Comet, Eridanian, Nova, Lunis, Procyon, Sorarian, Teidian. I'm happy to add you even if you don't have the dragon but it would be great if someone could put one of them up so that I can double parent clone.
If you manage to breed a twin of any dragon I want with me, please let me know in case I don't get an in-game pop-up for it. Friend ID: Kaleni#0146

I'm quoting this to let people know I've updated my current request. I have a bunch of Summerthings dragons I need pedestals of, so I'm going to be putting the dragons up in Co-Op.
Added! I'm Wolfjackle#0150.
I've put in Contstruct. It's actually perfect, because I'm trying to get an untraited version of that one!

Hi again wolfjackle , another player got a twin Construct with me overnight so I don't need to breed it anymore. Are you still in need of one? Someone on the subreddit's putting up Mushry for me now, so I'm going to be moving on to that, but I can change my Co-Op dragon to Construct after each rebreed if you still need it.
If you could, I'd appreciate it! I haven't been able to clone Construct yet.

Hi! I just joined the forum (thanks for hosting it)! I sent a friend request to the below permanent accounts and am hoping you can add me back:
Iden (level 20) IDEN#3585
Ocular (level 20) OCULAR#9966
Rainbow (level 20) RAINBOW#9358
My Park ID is Sangrail #2608
And if adlerist is working this account and willing to add me (I saw he also offered for some new users), I'd love to be able to try to breed his most recent dragons in that co-op as well.

Thank you so much for joining our community, Sangrail! We are thrilled that you are here! So sorry it took me a while to add you, it’s been a little hectic lately with the new event. But all the permanent parks have added you back, so you’re good to go with your DC farms.
Don’t hesitate to ask if there’s anything you need, and I look forward to seeing you around the Forum and the Vale. Thank you!
Plate is at level 20 in the co-op serving up a medieval meal. If you’d like to clone Plate, and we’re not already friends, my Friend ID is adlerist#5274. Let me know your ID, and I’ll add you back. Cheers!

Hello, I just found this forum and I'd like help cloning the Nacre Dragon, could I be added to the permanent account NACRE#3462 ? Additionally, I'd love to be added to Adlerist#5274 too if that’s alright.
If you’re using gems to speed up breeds during Twin Weekend, sometimes the game has difficulty keeping up, and you can lose them. Here are some tips to ensure you receive all your twins.
Please use this thread to request a twin and coordinate with your friends. Post the dragon/twin you need and your Friend ID. We’d love to help you!
HOW TO ENSURE TWINS ARE DELIVERED TO YOUR MAIN PARK WHEN CO-OP BREEDING WITH A SECONDARY PARK ON TWIN WEEKEND
I did a number of Cooperative Cave breeds to test the issue of twins failing to appear in a park while breeding in the co-op with a secondary park. Since speed breeding is a large part of the problem, but is widely relied upon during Twin Weekend, I sped up all the breeds with gems in these tests. This is what I discovered...
USING ONE DEVICE
If your secondary park is on the same device as your main park, and you’re trying to breed twins for the main park — you’re in luck. There doesn’t appear to be any issues with the delivery of twins.
I sped up 26 co-op breeds in a secondary account that’s on the same device as my main park.
• After 4-6 co-op breeds, I checked my main account to ensure the twins were delivered. They were all in my Gifts.
• Remember, there is a limit of 10 twins that can be waiting since your last park visit, so don’t leave your park unchecked for too long.
• To be extra cautious, if I received the breeding time for a twin I needed, I switched to my main park to empty the queue for twins, went back to the secondary park and sped-up the breed, then returned to the main park to ensure the twin was delivered.
• From the 26 co-op breeds performed, I received all 26 twins in my main account.
USING TWO DEVICES
This method applies if you’re working with a friend to help each other breed twins, or if you’re trying to breed twins for your main park and your secondary park is on a separate device.
When I initially performed these tests in January 2021, the iOS twin push notifications were disabled, so it was extremely difficult to tell if a twin was successfully delivered to your park. Deca Games has restored the twin notification (thank you Deca!) so I’ve updated this section.
Please note: Twin push notifications have been disabled on Android. Deca is aware of the issue and the last we heard they were working on it.
Back in January 2021, without notifications, I made an interesting discovery about the delivery of twins when two devices are used.
I sped up 33 breeds on an old Android device that has a park, which is not associated or linked to my main park (main park is on an iPad Pro).
If I kept my main park open and bred a twin on the Android, my main account would receive the in-game pop-up message for the twin about 2-3 minutes after completing the breed. After breeding about 5-6 consecutive twins, the pop-up stopped showing and twins are no longer received. Only force closing the app, then restarting the game will allow the delivery of twins to resume. Also, if I closed the main park before the twin pop-up appeared, the twin was lost. And if I continued to speed breed in the Android park before the pop-up showed, the twin was lost.
Based on my previous findings and now equipped with twin notifications, here’s my recommendations.
I. Using Two Devices to Breed Twins for Your Main Park (one person, two devices)
If you’re using a separate device to breed twins for your main park, after you breed a twin, wait until the twin push notification shows on the other device. Then, breed another. If you breed another before the notification shows there’s a good chance the first twin will be lost and never appear in your Gifts.
After breeding and receiving the notification for 5-6 twins, open your device so the twin queue is cleared and check to be sure they’re in your Gifts. Even though Backflip stated that you can have up to 10 twins waiting, my tests showed that in some scenarios this is not the case and you may stop receiving twins sooner.
II. Breeding Twins with a Friend (two people, two devices)
Use this thread to coordinate with your friend and agree on a time to start breeding. Since you won’t know when your friend received a twin push notification, wait a couple minutes between each breed. If you breed a twin before they received the push notification for the previous twin, the twin may not be delivered. When you receive the timer for the target dragon do not complete the breed. Notify your friend so they can open their game and clear the twin queue. After they have done this and closed their game, speed up the breed and inform your friend the twin was sent. If you’re not speeding up breeds with gems, notify your friend before finishing the breed so they can clear the queue.
DOES THIS MEAN I’M MISSING A LOT OF TWINS DURING TWIN WEEKEND OR OUTSIDE OF TWIN WEEKEND?
If your friends are speed breeding most or all of their co-op breeds with your dragon, rapidly and in-a-row during Twin Weekend, you’re probably missing some of the twins they bred. However, if they’re not speed breeding, it’s likely you’ll receive those twins — provided you don’t have more than 10 waiting for you between sessions — but it’s no guarantee. When Twin Weekend is not running, it’s much less likely you’ll be missing twins. The probability of twins eliminates the possibility of receiving a lot of twins in a row, so speed breeding and non-delivery is no longer an issue. But again, it’s no guarantee.
IMPORTANT: After you successfully breed a twin, especially if it’s a dragon that’s desirable or difficult to breed, always take a screenshot. If it’s not delivered, you will have evidence of the twin and a time stamp for when the dragon was bred that you can submit to customer support. Screenshots are a great habit to continue even when Twin Weekend is over.
(For reference, this post is a permanent part of the DV Help Desk.)
To help make your Twin Weekend productive, here is a list of every limited dragon with a double cloning percentage of 20% and 15% at the Cooperative Breeding Cave (double cloning example: Ahoy + Ahoy = Ahoy). I’ve included their breeding times since many players will be using gems to speed up their breeds. The first tab lists the limited dragons with 20% double cloning. The second tab lists the limited dragons with 15% cloning.
If you have one of these dragons and need a twin, or if you need a different dragon, request it on this thread and provide your Friend ID so we can help you. Much luck and happy twinning!
Oh wow. I wasn't expecting Twin Weekend so soon after the last one. Here are the 156 twins I'm chasing. If anyone would like to do some cooperative breeding for any of these, let me know. Best of luck to all with twin Weekend.

TWIN WEEKEND REQUESTS/OFFERS
I don't collect twins, but I do collect pedestals, so if anyone wants a twin of any of the following I can put them up and you can breed your dragon with mine if no one else can offer what you're looking for. Please let me know if you get a twin of one of these with me!
Current event (top priority) Top priority (20%): Binky, PonkiPong, Invento Top priority (5%): Morphimagus, Prestina, Darkmatter
Non-event dragons (high/medium priority) High priority (20%): Andromedan, Antarian, Arcturian, Celerulean, Comet, Eridanian, Nova, Procyon, Teidian High priority (10%): Tien, Terracotta, Nacre, Ironwrought, Garland, Embossed, Bearded, Butterfly High priority (5%): Victory Medium priority (10%): Bouquet
Oh wow. I wasn't expecting Twin Weekend so soon after the last one. Here are the 156 twins I'm chasing. If anyone would like to do some cooperative breeding for any of these, let me know. Best of luck to all with twin Weekend.
I'm pretty sure these are all the dragons you requested that I'm offering, in my order of priority: Prestige, Puffles, Prestina, Sorarian, Nacre, Garland, Aurum.

Prestige would be great thanks. I'm Belorga#5530, but we're already friends.

Got a 30 hour timer. Expecting Prestige, I will take a photo.
