Not knocking the dragon (I like the flavor and think it looks kind of cool) but is it safe to say that the Firework dragon is the limited dragon whose breeding window's END we've most looked forward to?
A qualified yes here, but I'm afraid of the longer breed fails once the Fireworks dragon is gone. If I'm going to have a fail I much prefer the Fireworks to a Forge or Rainbow. **shudder**
I'm still trying for the Malachite...send me some of your luck please?!?
Edit: spelling
Me too! Am having very little luck with malachite or pollen for that matter as only have one of the latter. Keep getting willows
Surprised you aren't getting more Pollens while trying for the Malachite. I was throwing them away right and left using Chrome + Willow and Dodo + Willow.
Can I just say how sucky it is to be unemployed I've put in many apps, and today is only the second day. And I still need to file for unemployment. I cry every morning when my husband goes to work because I feel absolutely useless.
On a brighter note, I get to hatch my first ruby in about 4 hours. Still can't get that elusive malachite yet though. And I still need a rainbow!
Hope the rest of you are lucky getting some rubies soon. At least the firework dragon is only around for 10 more days.
If a good friend was in your shoes, what would you do? Give that same support to yourself, be your own best friend.
Hey guys just put my second ruby on display now if I get any more they will earn me more gems lol koala everybody!!

How do you think you are doing this month with the Ruby compared to last month with the Pearl? Are you getting them at about the same rate, or can you tell?
i think it's slower for the ruby.. I posted in the beginners thread that I think you can only go so long without getting one then you might have a run of getting at least two in a row. The odds are all over the place. I wish if it was like a 1 in ten breed that you would get get at least one every 10 breeds but you might go twenty breeds with nothing then all of a sudden you 2 or 3 lol
Really struggling with the second Hulk dragon for display... anyone else have some success with other combos besides Metal/Willow and Metal/Pollen?
People have had success with any Plant Hybrid bred with a Metal. The % does not change with different dragons. Metal + Wilow/Pollen have the shortest fails, but feel free to mix it up to break the monotony. I needed a Steel egg for my display so gave Metal + Lichen a shot at it ... and I got my Steel Egg for display.

Thanks Fletch. So you have eleven to go now? Getting close on the eggs
Tried Metal / Flower and got the second for display.

Still waiting for that 2-3 in a row thing, has never happened to me, except for Fireworks dragons, do those count?
No Ruby for me and no Malachite, either. I am going to switch back to the cave trying for Ruby, I think the odds of Fireworks are lower in the cave? I don't need more Copper dragons and Fireworks? I can't wait for the 21st. I think it is an ugly, annoying dragon and having two, I don't need any more thankyouverymuch!

The odds of Firework are lower, but so are the odds of everything else. You should end up with more vanilla dragons.

How can the odds of everything be lower? The dice never land suspended in midair.
I think that this Malachite dragon is proving more elusive than any other since I began playing Dragonvale. I'm swapping over to another hybrid, just so I can see something other than willow or chrome eggs sitting in my hatchery.
I wouldn't feel so frustrated about it if I could convince myself that when I finally succeed, I shall have a new beautiful dragon to add to my islands - but the Malachite is so very ugly that he's going to be given a quick breakfast, and then it's STRAIGHT TO THE DUNGEON.

Tanyon got tired of getting willos this morning so he put a metal/clover in and got his malachite. Well his EBI just opened up so he tried the same combo in there too, he now has two malachite in the breeding caves.
After only 1 in 9 days, I had two Rubies trigger today. Funny how that works out. I guess its back to Panlongs and the shrine grind (but only like 10 more of those). I think I'm going to pause to grab some of the opposite hybrids before I start the Bloom march. But I'm glad I'm doing the hard one first. 13 is wayyyyyy less than 36.

I meant the odds of dragons with a set %, so Ruby, Malachite, Forge, Copper, Pollen and Firework. You'll get more Willow, Magnetic, Brass and Blazing to fill in the gaps.

Hi Jaine, wanna join our I HATE THE RUBY DRAGON COMPETITION? It's a comp to see who will be the last to breed the Ruby. Go check out the details in the impromptu contest thread! You might win some gems.
Finally I got to level 17 and have my metal dragon incubating... sadly to get to level 17 I spent loads of money growing sarjin peppers so I can't afford the metal habitat yet. Rookie mistake!
My rabbitting on about no Malachite earlier today, seems to have done the trick. After a succession of a out 40 metal/willow fails, I was desperate for a hatchery which wasn't full of more willow eggs, so I tried first metal/cactus, which at least produced a pollen egg to sit among the willows, and then put in metal and pollen - and hit the jackpot!
I was a bit worried that having stated any malachite was going straight to the dungeon, may have completely put the kybosh on my chances.
Good morning or good evening ! Say when I reach 50 dragons which is two more for my fire shrine will the shrine turn gold? And then will I see little balls on the heads of the fire dragons ? Also if I breed enough panlongs and enough rainbows. Since they have most elements in them. It should start calculating to the shrines right? I've been hatching all the dragons so I can do this grind shrine thing lol. Doesn't sound right lmbo. Domb question but when you say hybrids do you me combined dragons right? Still trying for another Ruby and Malachite. Do you all keep at least 2 of a kind? I think I read that somewhere....
Hi Stormy,
Rainbows are special dragons and do not count toward any shrine. Panlongs, on the other hand, count towards 4 shrines. When you click on a dragon and bring up its description, it shows what elements make it up. The rainbow dragon is of the "rainbow" element, for which there is not a shrine.
Yes, when you get 50 level 10 dragons of one element, its shrine turns from bronze to silver. When you get 50 level 15 dragons of one element, its shrine turns from silver to gold. The ball over the dragon appears once a dragon is more than level 10. Once a dragon reches level 20, it sports a crown over its head.
And yes, hybrid means a dragon made up of more than one element.
I like to keep 2 of every dragon, just to be prepared. The real key is having 2 of the limited dragons so that you can still breed them together after the leave the market. Common hybrids aren't as important to keep a pair of because you could make one any time you needed.

Wow thanks! I got my little balls and yes the food is sooooo expensive! So if I mate my panlongs then I can get rid of some my dragons that are in the hibernation! Except for two of the same for instance my pearls I have two! Trying for my second ruby, that little stubborn jewel lol. And two firecracker and so on? Thank you
