I'd send you luck Siles but I only have bad luck myself and I don't suppose you want it. Lol sounds like you have enough of your own. But koala to you!
I was my mother's caregiver in the last few years of her life. She passed away January 7 of this year after a nasty fall. She actually shattered as she had, among many things, severe osteoporosis. She was 90. My son had given me an iPad for Christmas and to help pass the time, I would show mom my accomplishments in DV. She could barely see the screen and really didn't understand computers at all. The reindeer dragon was her favorite, but I never got it last year. After she passed I didn't play DV for a long time. When I finally started again it actually gave me comfort....I was needed again!! I took care of pixels instead of Mom. It was my all consuming goal to keep playing until I could get the dragon for Mom.
Thank you for sharing. I do hope you're not going to use this as an excuse to leave the game and us, though. For you are needed here, as well.

That made me tear up. Thanks for sharing.
I'm having a hard time getting that second Reindeer.

Got two Reindeer! Now to breed 7 more for my Christmas display island. I was surprised, I literally got the second one the very next attempt. I hope this streak of luck keeps going!

Well I bred LE and Solstice and got another Solstice twice. I keep trying for Reindeer and getting Lichen and Evergreen. Can someone send me some luck. I really hope this whining works. lol
If you are hunting only for the reindeer keep away from the combo Plant + Cold which can also give you an evergreen. Stick to Lichen + Plant or Evergreen + Plant or Lichen + Evergreen. With theses combos your only fail will be a Lichen and not the longer Evergreen.

Just crowned my first dragon! Stoney, a Paper Dragon. Two more to crown and I will have every element covered at level 20. It may take a while though.
You are welcome Pixie, glad to help.
Congrats on all the successes and Koala to those of us still trying!
Congratulations! 👏

Hatched my second Reindeer earlier today, and now the egg for display is incubating. Threw Solstice and Lunar Eclipse in the cave, and voila! Second Lunar! Won't be able to breed for the Lunar egg display till Friday, but that's fine. I'd probably use the Island to try for another Topaz till new dragons come by... or till end of November, whichever comes sooner.
After my last post explaining my quest for the Reindeer dragon, I went out for the evening. I just got back and as is my custom, checked the forum to see what was new before opening DV. I was touched by so many responses and kind thoughts. I opened up DV to check on my park and emptied the island and the cave of more Lichen dragons ( really starting to dislike that guy), reloaded with Plant and Lichen and the first one was , you guessed it, a Reindeer! Never under estimate the power of friendship! Thanks guys!! Koala to all!
Solstice is actually 30 minutes shorter than Equinox.
I can confirm that this pairing works. LE number two is cooking now from a solstice/LE pairing.
Glad you've had luck with LE and Solstice. I've tried 3 times with LE and Equinox and have had 3 Equinox dragons. Think I may have got my second LE with Smoke and Mountain which is what gave me my first but need to wait til it heads to the hatchery just to check.

Thanks for sharing your personal story. So sorry your mom had such a terrible fall, it must have been terrifying. Will never look at the Reindeer dragons in the same way again. Very touching.
I think your story has just made the Reindeer a very special dragon indeed. So sorry you had all of that happen over what is supposed to be a happy time of year. Very glad you came back to the game though and it's given you solace.
Thanks for the all of the responses about iPads. Will stick with my original plan and update my Macbook, it's just that the smaller iPads are so tempting and you can't play DV on a laptop.
BOT: Am now debating whether to be very bad and speed up my 39hours with Smoke and Mountain just to make sure it's a LE. Have 1 Reindeer but still have 1 to go and am certain there will be another limited coming soon for all of those that got Reindeer first time round, and then there's Turquoise. Me thinks December will be a high gem spending month.
Also can anyone set a poll up on here or does it have to be Mod/Admin? I was just interested to know what everyone's favourite dragon motion sequence is? I've noticed I've become somewhat lax at taking the time to watch some of the dragons but get completely mesmerized by Equinox every time I see it.

Good poll idea.
Besides equinox, what are other favorite dragon motions? Let us know some of your favorites, and we'll get a poll going soon. I likeSapphire's napping.

I like the Mud Dragon's expanding and contracting neck when it eats. ;D
