I know the mods must get soooo tired of answering this question...know i have seen it posted (or one like it) w/the explanation but i STILL have trouble understanding how it works ... Question: Could i breed my ragnorak or zombie w/ my lone apocalypse to get a second apocalypse right now? Tried all thru BEB for that 2nd apocalypse with no luck... Know that 2 apocalypse parents could give me one (even though they are not available now) .... But could i get that apocalypse with just 1 apocalypse paired w/an apocalypse "type" ? Thanks for your insights (and patience) ! :0)

Yes. Limited epics can be rebred out of season. There is a higher chance I think if it's of the same epic kind... Not sure.
However the non- epic limited dragons cannot be bred out of season without cloning (using the same dragon, I.e. Pan long + panlong)

As far as I know you can breed an expired EPIC limited with another epic and have a chance for the expired limited. This means that with the coop breeding cave you don't need ANY dragon of the expired limited to be able to try for it you just need any epic dragon and a friend with the wanted epic limited dragon. Exceptions are Monolith and Snowflake dragons. This is cool isn't it ? Takes a lot of pressure out of the breeding. And gives new meaning to a second park. In the past I always was miffed when I had succes in the second park but not in the main park. Now I'm able to let the main park take profit of the second one.
This can't be applied for NORMAL limited dragons though ( normal as opposed to epic, e.g. Panlong or Arbor or Butterfly). If you want to breed an expired normal limited, you can only do this by cloning, which means by combining two of this dragon. Here also the coop cave can be advantagous. During the period of a breed for a normal limited dragon you only need to get one of it, and then you can clone it with a friend whenever you want.

Am I doing something wrong? I am breeding my Acturian with every other kind of galactic dragon my friends are showing, and the only Galaxy dragon I get is more Acturans! I have 8 of them now! what am I doing wrong or am I just a ridiculous statistical outlier?

It doesn't matter high type of epic you use, you have the same chance of cloning one of the parents. Back before the Valentne Event you had to use an epic of the same type as they are the only ones that would breed together but now it doesn't matter.

Yep, it's just statistics. Best of luck with future breeds.

So I only have one Shadow and one Mirage. If I breed those opposites together do I have a chance of cloning one of them? What about breeding them with the light or dark rift dragons?

You aren't doing anything wrong, these dragons are just hard to get. However, breeding Galaxy with Galaxy gives longer average fail times than breeding one of your epic dragons with a friend's Galaxy. You can look at the Breeding Sandbox to see which epics are best for each Galaxy. I was able to get a Bizurian by breeding my Celtic with a friend's Bizurian; the only Galaxy of a different type I have been able to breed. Hope we are both able to breed these dragons soon.

Thanks so much, crumble, james & fletch! :0) Appreciate your explanations...is very difficult for me to wrap my mind around the changing rules... seems like i just get it in my noggin & then the game plan changes ! lol! :0)

Would it help if I put my mirage up for co-op breeding for you?

Kipper008 thanks for the TwinMoon dragon. Need to add a celestial habitat to my Twin Island now.
Three hours ago my Crystal bred with your Lichen again to produce an Emerald. Here's to hoping that 28 or so hours from now, we'll have realized this twin goal. - ____________

And, drum roll please ... [anticipation builds] ... [to spend or not to spend, that is the question] ... 30 gems later ... NOT a twin Emerald. *sightext*. Back to the drawing board, I mean Cooperative Breeding Cave.
This would be a whole lot easier if lots of people were trying to breed for the same thing. Would anyone like to join us in our quest to breed a twin Emerald? I'll keep my Crystal (her name is New) available and will very happily accept GC invitations at Stopped playing DV.
Koala!

I've been trying without success, but have also been helping in the twin and Galaxy showers.
