I've been trying Blue Fire and Tree for some 20 times but still no luck. Paper is not something easy for me - following my wife's success on the first day of release, my daughter has reported today of her luck on Paper. I am the one who is left behind!

Autumn equinox is Sept 22nd, I thought the dragon might change then.
very sad addict here. Been trying for the seasonal and sapphire for weeks, days, hours and nada. My seasonal habitat is baron. Sold plenty of rainbows, those long fail attempts are a beast. Boohoo me. Time is ticking and this may be my worst month ever.

Try the month with my luck...I was using the wrong combo for the Sapphire. Had to breed the Rain before I could even get started on my REAL gem quest for the month. FOURTY-TWO fails before that. YIKES!!!!

Still need one more Rose and one more Gift to complete my set.
I have been testing boosts and have found that putting Bloom and Paper in a Cold habitat with the Lightning, Plant, and Earth boosts works well. I also slipped in an Earth habitat with Quake dragons on the same island. I have a Panlong island with several Earth habitats of Pans, and the Fire and Water boosts. I am not using my Cold boost for anything, as I have Plant/Cold dragons in a Cold habitat with the Plant boost on my soon-to-be Paper/Bloom island.
I'm trying to save gems for the next Seasonal dragon that should follow on the heels of the Paper dragon, if not overlapping it. Autumnal Equinox is just around the corner! So far, I keep spending a few to speed up what turns out to be a Moss. 😒

They've been releasing dragons every Thursday evening for weeks now. Fair bet there'll be a new one this Thursday, and if it's not the rare/limited Equinox Dragon we've been expecting it will probably be a normal hybrid (or two). We haven't had an ordinary dragon released since Rain, more than a month ago, so we're about due.
Therefore, you should all quickly go to the Hybrid Naming competition thread and make some picks for the chance to win gems.

Great call on saving for the next one! If it's an Autumnal Equinox then I'm sure I'll be spending gems like crazy again.
I try to refrain from spending gems on non limited time dragons...but my finger doesn't always listen to my head.
I have repeatedly breeder for Paper since it came out, both in the cave and in the island. So frustrated that all I can breed were Tree, Moss etc etc. I once, and only once, had an equivalent 12 hours breeding time for my enhanced cave but it turned out to be Moss again. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!
It has been said a certain amount of whinning here is helpful. I have seen this tactic work on multiple occasions and ihave known it to work personally.
So my game timed out about 3 hrs ago so i just locked my phone and forgot about it. When i unlocked my phone the game seemed to be working fine. I put a mountain and rain in to try for my second sapphire and then the game reloaded. When th game opened back up, its showing the breed bar as half done with only 3 hours to go, but i only just put them in there! And my mountain egg that was incubating And still seen to have a while to go is now finished! Has this happened to anyone before?
Ok that is strange. No but I had a 5:36 hr fail with Air/Flower and it should of been Pollen but it turned out to be willow. Huh? lol I thought maybe I made a mistake but no way to make a mistake. My other cave was in the middle of a breed still and I am trying for Sapphire so no willow fails there.
I've just put a red egg with a brown B on it in the nursery - needs 12 hours incubation - used Bluefire level 11 on left and Tree level 10 on right. Paper? Initially I thought it was a new type of M&M!
Oh wow. You guys are right. Hopefully they will make it available for their anniversary every year but then again it could be a different one for the 2nd.
Maybe he next two anniversarys will be rock and scissors.

Happy Monday Morning! (I'm retired - I can say that! ;-P)
I'm weary of beating my head against the wall of the breeding caves for every last little dragon BFS releases. I went rogue yesterday, bought more gems than I want to talk about, and have been breeding only for Paper.
After 21 attempts in the EBI and the EBS, I am down nearly 300 gems, but I have two Paper dragons in Cold Habitats, a Paper display egg on my Treasure Island, and a Rainbow which will hatch tomorrow. Hoo-YAH!!! I got both Paper Dragons from Blue Fire + Tree.
Oh, yeah. There's that Garden of Fails, too, vigorously blooming away on my nursery island. Dozens of them. Very colorful. It may be time to sell off most of those. I need lots of income to convert into treats for my starving dragons.
Like my first Rainbow, this one was a fail on the way to something else. Love those 39-hour accidents.
Hey, congratz to all who had a successful weekend of breeding! I'm sending waves of encouragement and good wishes to all of you who are still working on Sapphire and Paper.

My dragons love sharing the party wealth with new friends, but all the gems are spoken for. New friends are welcome, but no gems are left to shar
Well, it's official. Or, NOT!, depending on how you look at the outcome thus far, as it is after 12AM, but hopefully fixable. (Meanwhile still really disappointing!) ...I didn't get the free anniversary gems nor did two of my DV pals. And I know about completely logging out of DV, Game Center, closing active browser(s), X'ing out of any extraneous possible residual stream activity, etc., and even turning off my iPhone for a complete shut-down & re-boot, some with lengthy wait times just to be sure, which I did several times. Is there anything that can be done? I've never contacted BFS & was wondering what the correct protocol is if anyone can make a suggestion, it'd be greatly appreciated. I am happy for those of you that were able to benefit, of course:)
If you keep careful track of your gems and are certain you didn't receive them, then you would probably want to contact BFS Support. www.backflipstudios.com/support/
Perhaps they opened up the gate for the moment. I JUST got both mt second papers or both accounts! With four elements, this is gonna really make the shrine grind go faster. I have yet to get a gold shrine yet bit I'm getting close to #1. . koala to those still panicking.
Congrats on your 2, that is pretty exciting! Way too early for people to panic yet, we have until the 24th.
Awoke at 6:30 this morning to hatch Paper1 and feed it up to level 15 then tapped the red heart on the overnight breeders (Bluefire level 11 and Tree level 10) - another Paper! Now I'm breeding Magnetic dragons to increase Dragoncash then I'll get back to attempt the 40 fails for September's Sapphire dragon!

Whooooot I think I finally have my first silver dragon!
Got paper the first time I bred mountain and flower but no luck so far on seconds
Congrats on both the Silver and the Paper, hope that 2nd one comes soon.
