EDIT: So Breeding hints are now available in DV World. You can visit the dragonarium and see what is required for any dragon. This thread should probably be put to rest.

Some thoughts on breeding a Rainbow dragon. It seems likely they would keep the same rule as in DV1, that being you need 4 elements to breed one. The 4th element is released in the game at Level 2, when you get the ability to buy another location. However Rainbow is not available until Level 9 when Air, the 4th Base element is released. So perhaps the wrinkle in DV2 is that you need all 4 Base elements to breed a Rainbow dragon.
A quick reminder that Base elements cannot make hybrids amongst themselves. You cannot simply breed a Fire/Earth Hybrid with a Water/Air Hybrid to get a Rainbow. You need to acquire the rarer variant dragons first. And you still need a Location element in the breed, because again, you can't breed two Base element dragons together. Jungle has the shortest breed times. So I am going to try a combination that has the 4 base elements and Jungle. Earth Variant Flytrap (EvFlytrap?)+ Air Variant Water (AvWater?)for example.
Will post more when testing is underway.

50 breeds with all 4 base elements and Jungle have not given me a Rainbow. The results have been interesting though. Will start a new thread for breeding stats.

Have just discovered that the Rainbow Dragon cannot breed with the Jungle Dragon. This is the same message I get when trying to breed two Location element Dragons (even with a Base element variant) or two Base element Dragons. However it can breed with a Water Dragon. This would tend to suggest that the Rainbow Dragons is made up primarily of Location elements, but it possibly has Variant base elements. As you cannot breed for Rainbow till Level 9, when Air becomes available, it seems possible that an Air Variant dragon is required as one of the parents. It's also possible that two Location elements are needed.
Will run some test breeds with
Water + Rainbow
to see what the results are. The current breed timer is either a Desert dragon or a Water Variant. If it's the latter, that will be very telling.
WvWater x 3
Edit 1: A Water Variant it is, but not the Air Variant I was thinking about. WvWater, which makes sense, as it is the Uncommon Variant, so more likely. There was also the Water element in the breeding pair that made the Rainbow. Another 3 hour breed is on the way, we will see what that brings.
Air + Rainbow
Air x 3
Earth + Rainbow
Fire + Rainbow

3 breeds with Water and they all resulted in WvWater. 3 breeds with Air and they all resulted in Air.
Will do 3 breeds with the Fire and Earth to check the results, but so far the breeding results have been strange, to say the least. It is obviously not just substitutive breeding as it is in DV1.
Edit: But I have discovered something regarding the breeding order. It appears the Spell that is passed on to the offspring is the lower spell of the dragon on the left. I switched the order of my breeding dragons (Rainbow + Water then Water + Rainbow) and the dragons have different spells cast on them. One of by WvWater dragons has a Coin spell and the other has a Seed spell.
Long story short, breeding order matters. For spells at least.

I will check if my theory is correct since I finally started to get some variants other than Cavern and Desert. I don't think element order makes for any difference based on previous breedings of variants.
I'm going to try the below combos and go from there. If I'm correct you would need to obtain 1 Location variant that includes Fire, Air or Water and match it with a location hybrid with the element that is missing.
FvMethane x Lake/Tropical (or Canyon/Oasis) AvLake x Pitch/Magma (or Venom/Badlands)
Love your posts, please keep up the awesome research, and great postings!
Hi there,
We certainly will. Why don't you register an account here at the forum and be a part of the fun. Assuming you're in a country that has access to this game right now, the more info we can get, the better things will be for everyone.
A Rainbow variant that's quite neat. Such luck on first pairing too
Sure is. I was breeding my Rainbow with the Base element dragons, but maybe a variant is needed to make a variant Rainbow ...
Yeah that could be the case. Tried to get a few hybrid variants breeding them to the base element that I wanted and got nowhere. Granted, it was only 8-9 pairings or so. The minute I took another hybrid or variant I managed to get more variants a lot quicker.

I don't know if you're the sort of person that likes to keep records, but if you wanted to start keeping a written track of your breeds it will help us get some info together.

Sure I don't mind to keep some records, I breed rodents as a hobby so keeping track of litters and genetics is something I do daily anyway.
Got any example of an excel? Otherwise I'll just write down combos and results in a text file.
Btw the Rainbow variant was water apparently!
and looks like another mormal Rainbow 2d timer on the way from FvLake x Tumbleweed.

Wow. That's pretty cool. Well this will be exactly like that.

Edit: I can't imagine how a Spreadsheet would work, but if you have any thoughts about that post them here. You could obviously make a spreadsheet to hold the bottom information and do some quick math to auto calculate percentages, but I keep all my notes on paper so I can keep track anywhere.
I just use a text document with the name of the parents and the breeding location at the top, and then a Tally system to show the results. Because we don't know how the genetics work just yet, repetition of breeding types will help us get to know percentage chances of variant dragons and the epics. Also, the way spells are past along. Something like this.
FvLake (Tattered Seed) + Tumbleweed (Tattered Seed) in the Epic Cave. 50 attempts
and looks like another mormal Rainbow 2d timer on the way from FvLake x Tumbleweed.
Awesome egg.
Assuming this is another Rainbow and not one of the other epics, all successful breeds so far have Air, a Variant dragon, 2 Location elements and 3 base elements in the mix.
Thanks for everything so far. Still need to breed the other epics to work out how to breed them. :-)

THANK YOU, Sorella! Finally have a Rainbow cooking on my third try with your FvLake+Tumbleweed combo! I added that combo to post #1 above.
