Is it worth keeping going with the Metal + Sakura and Paper + Chrome combo's until I get my second Malachite and Gold or changing the mix?
Actually it's probably worth me coming back to this given that Opal will be making it's appearance later today and I doubt I'll get chance to breed other dragons. Am just over the moon that I got 2 of my PITA dragons. I tried for Malachite in both breeding caves for a total of 3 weeks and got nada so I think these 2 successes will keep me going for a bit
Love + Metal gives you a chance at Gold and Malachite. If you don't have a Love Dragon, you can do it with Metal + Flower. I prefer Love + Metal because of the higher average $ per fail, and slightly shorter average fail time.

I don't have the Love dragon (t'was before I started playing) but I got my second Malachite last night when I gave up trying, failing and waiting for the Opal combo and put Metal + Sakura back in my island. That combo is on fire!
Oh and as I have my first Opal I maybe do need some different combo's to get me my other dragons, if you don't mind? Off the top of my head I still need (will go check and edit if it differs) Frostfire Scoria Dodo Quicksilver Sandstorm Seasonal Gold Silver Current Plasma I still need Gold Olympus but not sure if you said that fits in with anything else.
I have a question about the Silver dragon. After lots of fail I finally got one. Now if I want a second, could i breed it with a Gold dragon? And is this like the Olympus, that I have a greater chance for a Silver, or would it be 50/50?

Hi Evans,
Breeding Gold Treasure and Silver Treasure together gives you about a 50/50 chance at either. It's a long fail if you get a Gold, but it's likely faster than trying for Silver with hybrid dragons.

Hi again, Tanzanyte. You've had a pretty successful week. Good on you.
Just as with my previous post to you, your options are somewhat limited by the number of opposite dragons you have on your list.
Silver and Scoria = Cold+Iron Silver, Scoria, and Quicksilver = Ice+Iron Current and Quicksilver = Copper/Magnetic+Water Plasma and Quicksilver = Rust+Lightning Gold and Seasonal = Butterfly+Malachite Gold and Olympus = Copper+Panlong or Butterfly+Iron
If Fletch is right, that a new Earth hybrid is soon to be released, or the Bone Dragon, you'll have some double-up shots at Dodo and Sandstorm.

Thanks Myke. I certainly have had one lucky week. Am looking forward to getting on with the combo's you've listed above in the cave whilst I try for an Opal egg. Thanks for the heads up on Dodo and Sandstorm being possible fails. I really want a Bone dragon so imagine I'll be frantically trying for that one which means it'll definitely be a bonus if I manage to get one of my wanted dragons as a fail.

Hi Evans,

Breeding GO with SO gives you a 99% chance of getting SO. Breeding GO with BO gives you a 99% chance of getting BO.
Sorry...
Bummer. Do you know the percentage of breeding a gold? Is it more than 1%?
GCID Debstoy
Olympus dragons are rare epics with a 15% breed chance. How that 15% breaks down between the three Olympus dragons, I don't know. Perhaps Fletch has some insight on this?
I have a question! So by luck, I now have a silver dragon breeding away on the island grounds.
Which method is faster to breed a 2nd silver? silver x gold (I have 2 gold dragons) or to continue trying combinations like chrome x evergreen
or plant x mine metal x pollen (since i still need 2 ironwoods and malachite)
Thanks!
Good question. As said above, the odds are about 50/50 when you breed Gold and Silver (Treasure) Dragons together. So even though the fail is 48 hours, it's still a better way to go then trying to breed another Silver the hard way.
If Ironwood and Malachite are all that you are trying for, Metal + Pollen/Willow and Plant + Chrome are the best way to go for the short fail times.
well, I really do have 2seasonals, 1 gold olympus, and 2 plasmas other then those already mentioned, but they don't form combinations well, if at all, so... well, that.
