I'm so sorry he is on the negative side of the lucky horseshoe again, poor kid. How is his attitude doing? Sure hope he gets it soon, don't want him to lose interest.
Oh no, he is fine, he just shrugs it off. Got a 4hr and 8hr. this morning.
See, I need to learn how to do that! LOL
I keep getting blazing, firefly, scorch, sonic when trying for my Butterfly. Now going for my 2nd and still getting those 4 instead. I'm still in shock over getting the Rainbow when trying for the Pearl, and since I don't have one of those yet, I can't complain too much. BUT that will stick around, while the Pearl is going bye-bye.
I know he'll get it, as will most likely everyone, it's just having the PATIENCE to wait to get it that alludes me. hehehe
I'm so fed up of trying to get pearl! Is it best to keep breeding the same pair of seaweed/snow dragons over & over or to try a different one every now and again, or doesn't it make a difference? Yet another 8 hours to wait before I can try again - aaaaaaagh!
It will make difference what so ever, but if it makes you feel better, switch them up.
Thanks Fletch. Gosh there are so many variables within this game. Every dragon I want to breed I don't have the prerequisite parents. It's dang frustrating.
On another tack. I want the hibernation cave. It's so pricey. I was trying to breed some 500,000 dragons and sell them but not having any luck there. I figure if I sold ALL my dragons I might have enough, then start again. Option 2 sell all but the frost fire - they seem to earn the most. Buy more frost fire with the money.
How on earth do people make that kind of money? Do they not grow food? Or do most people just buy money?
I bought some gems already - I don't really want to make this something that costs real money every week - eventually I will get sick of it like all games.
Right now I am a bit addicted to it, must admit.... Lol
It certainly is addictive. What level are you at right now?
The money comes with time. As you go up in Levels you get more habitats, they hold more dragons, you feed them up to a higher level, they earn more money and on it continues. Everything you want to get will come with time. And purchases are certainly not necessary. Quite a few people have played the game entirely for free.
If you are purchasing though, gems are the only thing worth buying. Food and money can be got for a better price by speeding up the breed/hatch time of dragons to sell for money, which can then buy you food.

I was so frustrated, I didn't get a Emerald dragon. Or any rares at all. I decided to buy gems to upgrade my breeding caves and on the first try a Pearl. Then I got the Forge and now the copper dragon. I did have one fail on the small cave. I am not sure if was just due or it was because I updated my breeding caves.
Poppy, I was just reading back through this thread looking for something and noticed a post of yours that I missed. You're welcome for the gem I sent you. I've been gifting back to those that gift me, and if not a full 6, then to my neighbors that look low on gems as I'm going by their places. You must've just happened to be one of the ones that looked low.
Fletch, thank you for the gem you sent me. I know not to send to you, but thank you. I needed it this AM. Now I purchased some more with my iTunes card. I double purchased by mistake, but hey, I'll use them!
Now for my question, has anyone been successful in breeding a Butterfly with a Butterfly + Anything? My poor Air/Firefly dragons are getting a bit worn out so I was hoping that maybe if I throw my one and only and very lonely Butterfly in the cave with something I might get lucky, while they are? hehehe

Thank you - I'll have fun trying them all out but suspect my avatar will be a pearl dragon next month! I've just caved in & bought enough gems for an ebi & do I feel happy! Or i may be doubly disappointed if I still don't get my gem dragons! Hey ho!

Firefly + Air/Air Hybrid is the only combo for Butterfly. So Firefly + Butterfly is the only combo with Butterfly that will work.
This will not increase your chances of getting it though, as all combos have the same % success rate.
After all my frustration and fails when trying for an Emerald, it seems my breeding cave and island are trying to make it up to me. First, I just threw a Water and a Magnetic in, thinking I'd need a few tries for a Current and immediately got one. Now, I was trying for a Rust, to get some DC, and ended up with a 14 hour and 24 minute breeding time. I think I just got the new Quicksilver! All it took was a Metal and a Water and expectations for something else.
No Pearl here either. Maybe tomorrow I'll get lucky, gotta think on the bright side, especially since I couldn't get an Emerald.
I saw the sun for the first time today in what felt like weeks, for all of 5 minutes, I was pleasantly surprised. I'm going to think positive that the next few days I'll see more of it. Having over 6 inches of rain over the past month has made me think I'm living in England, instead of NEW ENGLAND. LOL
I just got my first 30h in the EBI. Yay! Afternoon was nice and sunny today, but yeah typical New England weather lately. Severe thunderstorm warning right now. Keep trying on your Pearl.

Congrats on getting Prince Quick! I got rust instead

Both and we will never know. Congrats! It sounds like that was a pretty good purchase you made.
Snow/seaweed had just given me a 48 hr.. Arugh I'm so close.. I know I'm getting nearer to getting a 30 hr.. But... It Soo long!!
Is it in an upgraded breeder? Or, do you have to wait the full 48?
I have upgraded my EBI. So I have a 1 day 14 hours breeding time which makes up to a 48hr timer. I was hoping for a 30 hr timer or rather a 24 hr timer for a Pearl.. But I am not getting it. It's only about a 1% chance of getting a 48 hr timer right? And yet I got it before my Pearl. I need to get my Pearl before going traveling.. Oh my...
I think somebody here waved a magic wand over my breeding caves. Anybody want to fess up?
Last night I got the Rainbow for the first time, and I wasn't even trying for him. My Island is still tied up waiting on him to finish. Tonight, I'm getting the Moon in my breeding cave.
I was getting tired of all the fails trying for my 2nd Butterfly that for giggles I just threw my Cold/Lightning in and figured if I got another Storm, I'd either throw him in Hyb or sell him. Well that thought went out the window when I noticed the breeding time. LOL
I'm not sure I'll make Level 20 in time, so I have a feeling that I'll be selling one of my 2 Plant Habitats in order to get the Moon one. I should make 19 in time to get the Rainbow Habitat, but I think 20 will be pushing it.
Will I ever get this lucky on getting the Pearl? Maybe if I stop trying to get him, I'll get him. Talk about twisted logic, but it seems to be working for these others.
I have a question on which dragons are currently still available to breed but are considered limited, in that they will dissapear.
- Obviously the big one is Pearl, as we all know it is only for the month of June. - Panlong dragon is another one who is here for the year of the dragon but will disappear after the year is over.
Are there others?
What I am trying to do is put together a priority list of which dragon to try and breed, based on time left before they are no longer available.

Could someone provide this list?
Thank you, Zanatar
The only other one I know of is Butterfly, which could go at anytime now.

This. Firefly + Air/Air Hybrid. 12 hour incubation. Try for it while you can.

You and me both. I fought up until the 10.8th hour to get an Emerald, but since I upgraded the breeding Island and cave, I'm getting lucky even when I don't expect or want it.
