Just thought of another possibility... if I have Coal as my Sharing Dragon and someone who does not have it breeds it with their Lava, wouldn't the only possibilities be Lava, Obsidian, or Coal?
If the Co-op Cave doesn't allow them a Coal outcome because they don't already have it, could I breed my Coal to their shared Lava and possibly get Twin Coals thereby gifting them a Coal they did not yet have? We need to test this.
I would be very surprised if this worked. Since Coal is a limited (not currently in season) and not an epic, I would expect a pairing would need Coal+Coal to have Coal as a child possibility. Using Cooperative breeding, someone could get a second coal if they only had one. But the first? Is more of a problem. IF true, then you could not get a twin Coal in a Coal + something else pairing either.

I took a break for all the oly's and snoly's trying for the bizurian, that I switched to something else, and I have managed to get a sorarian on my second try thanks to vp_2006 I took advantage of the gem sale this morning to hatch it and have made it available for breeding. Back to trying for the bizurian.

This is my feeling too. I suspect that one would need to already have a Coal to breed with your Coal to try for another.
Probably correct, so, PAGING FLETCH! You may want to try the Coal in your test account as I know you need it in your main account. Let me know if it is unattainable and I'll change it out.
Thanks for the offer, Cyn. But my truest account was just as neglected as my main account, so no Coal there either. Feel free to swap it out for something else, unless someone needs a duplicate or an egg.
Not quite! I changed out my Sharing dragon to Coal as I took the liberty of checking out your Dragonarium and saw it was missing. Not sure if it is possible to breed an Arcturian or Antarian (they all have Fire and Earth) with Coal and get a Coal if you don't already have one. Has anyone reported getting an unavailable Epic if they did not already have one?
If it is possible I also saw that you need Dawn, Dusk, Leaf, Nightmare, Nosferatu, and Sunstruck and can switch out to those whenever you wish.
Thank you. I certainly do need those. Nosferatu is regular, so nothing I can do about that, but I will be putting calls in for the others at some point. Probably after I have the galaxies so no real hurry at the moment. :-)

Coming back into the game after an eight month absence last year I was able to get one Dawn and one Dusk during BEB before they were not available again. I was then able to breed them together for the second and egg for each one. So 1Epic+1Epic can get you either one, you do not need two of the same. Coal is not an Epic so that wouldn't apply.
I think we will need a lot of testing to see if/how using the Co-op Cave yields dragons that are not available and also the Twin rules. I think most people are focusing their breeding on the Galaxy Dragons. Until someone needs me to Blue Heart Coal or any limited Epic for testing I have changed my Sharing Dragon back to Bizurian. Would not want to confuse someone who is not reading the boards.

Just let me know when you are ready as I'm sure there are other players who may have missed those same dragons.
EDIT: And I'm sure you have Lava in both parks so we could try my Coal with your Lava to try to Twin you a Coal.
Whoo, got a 45 hours, hoping for a Sororian! Think I'll go back to trying for Bizurian after this... let's see if I can't manage to hold back and spending gems. At least until my nursery frees up a bit!
Congrats! I got a 50 hrs! Just what I needed...a Dream...NOT! Lol

I'm just a little curious, but does anyone else have the great falling star still in their park background? Mine never disappeared once the event was over, even though it's gone from a few of my friend's parks.
If you want lots of cash, the top earners by habitat are:
4 Dreams in a Dream habitat , 50hr breed time, $150M habitat cost : 2256 DC/minute, takes 46 days to pay for the habitat, and 8+ days to breed the dragons.
4 Daydreams in a Dream habitat , 29hr breed time, $150M habitat cost : 1960 DC/minute
4 Seasonals in a Seasonals habitat , 48hr breed time, 7.5M habitat cost, but an 8x8 habitat : 1804 DC/minute
4 Apocalypse in a Apocalypse habitat , 20.2hr breed time, 4.5M habitat cost : 1792 DC/minute, 41 hrs to pay for the habitat.
Apocalypse are a good earner, quick to breed, and a cheaper, smaller habitat than Seasonals. The 25% increase in earnings for Dreams is majorly offset by the cost of the habitat.
Double Rainbows earn more as individual dragons, but the habitat only takes 2 dragons, so only 1464DC/m

I have all galaxy dragons, but what I really want are the Monolith dragons. I wasn't able to get enough eggs to get even one, and I really need help getting them all. I keep breeding my Sorarian dragon with one of my friends Monoliths, and I have yet to get a single monolith egg! I've been breeding them all day! Is there anyone who can help me? Do I need to have at least one monolith dragon already in my parks for a chance to get another? Or do I at least need the habitat?
I watched the tutorial on the DV Facebook page and found out that if you breed a dragon too high level for the level of your park, it will be stored for you until you get to that level and then it will be awarded to you in that screen that says "you've earned: (habitats, new dragons etc). Cool stuff for new players to know!
I'm also wondering if maybe BFS was testing this new version at Christmas when they allowed players to send eggs to other players. Maybe it was a test run to see where the eggs would go and their data showed max parks went to other veterans and new players were not as successful.... So they awarded the galaxies to fix that and to mix things up? Just musing while I unclog my breeding sites....
I've changed my shared dragon to Sorarian. lemmyloop, Fletch_smf, vonfirmath if anyone could update the list please.
Really happy with my gorgeous avatar by ElektronX! GCID: Andr3i4 Any and all friends for Cooperative Breeding are welcome. Gladly accepting any twins also.

As far as we know, you need at least one Monolith/Snowflake in your park to get more. The habitat shouldn't matter, but you can buy one in the Market anyway.
It's a pity about Monolith and Snowflake. With the other Epics it's possible to get one even if you don't have it, provided that you have a friend sharing that dragon. At least I think so. But it can help people that only got the first Snowflake or Monolith.

Interesting update.
I am making a "Twin" Arcturian available for breeding. GCID:Edmondsona
As for new goals, my main goals have been a Level 20 of every dragon and an egg for every dragon. I feel like space in the hibernation cave is more constrained than pixels on the island and that it is more achieveable to obtain twins of every egg rather than trying to keep a twin dragon of every dragon. So currently I am turning twins into eggs and if I get a second twin I will plan to hatch it and collect the dragons. The Level 20 twin "crown" is very nice, but I have already started aiming for normal crowns and don't really want to switch that as a goal for now. If twin dragons begin to have some special property I will reconsider getting the eggs rather than the dragons. I agree that we need an upgrade for the hatchery. I bet most would be willing to spend a hefty pile of gems to have an additional space or two in the hatchery.
Eggs (Dragons) to Collect: Vortex (1), Barite, Pyrite, Quartz, Celerulean, Nebula, Rayleian, Teidian (1) Twin Eggs (Dragons) to Collect: Many

When you display the egg, does the portrait in the Dragonarium change too? I'm doing the opposite and hatching the first twin I get. For now I still have room but it will surely become a problem.

Yes, the dragonarium entry also changes for the egg pedestal when you display the egg rather than hatching the dragon.

I dont know how to put this mildly, and not sound obnoxious. Can only hope you see my view.
My coop breeding friends,
You need to have ONE Snowflake in order to coop breed w/ my Snowflake 1. Snowflake and Monolith are the exception to the rules, maybe Coal as well.
I have few twins from same players, it prompted me to check your parks...only then I realize you don't have a Snowflake dragon. I also recognize some of you have thousand and thousand of gems, ie. 179K, 635K, 999K in gems. You sped up your breeding and now I have too many twins waiting in my Gift list.
I want to help, and will....but you need at least one Snowflake.
Have been accepting FRs left, and right w/o a 2nd thought. I am so sorry I have to use this forum to relay my message.
Some friends touch your heart in a way that you can never erase.
I've changed my shared dragon to Sorarian. lemmyloop, Fletch_smf, vonfirmath if anyone could update the list please.
Your Sorarian & my Polarian gave me 45 hrs, so a Sorarian for me, I think. Don't know yet if twins; I'm happy.
Regardless of it being a twin or not, I am very happy for you. If it's a twin, I'm even happier.
