I just did this a few days ago as well! I'm so glad to finally be done with buying and upgrading and making space to fit them all. Now it's nice to just sit back and earn E3M. Plus, since I've got my blue fire breathing dragonarium back, I'm gonna focus on getting those rift traits and pedestals completed.
And to answer cecilia 's question/post, once you have either spent the amount of E3M you want to buy mystery eggs, change traits with the Transfiguration Tower, or rift breed to get missing dragons, or saved up E3M; I would clear enough of the fog in the rift dimension to prepare for when BFS introduces more rift habitats, which I imagine they will at some point but probably not for a while.
Thanks for all that good advice! I have just a few missing dragons in the rift and I thought I would be able to breed them during BEB, but it's so totally not working that I'm beginning to think some dragons aren't available at this time - Garden, Faire, Feast, Steel and Nosferatu are some of them. I've tried various combos suggested by the Sandbox, but wonder if I should be also changing traits on my breeding pairs?
Any advice O Wiser Ones?

All the dragons are available now because it's BEB. For the ones you are inquiring about, you say you are missing them "in the rift". Do you mean you are trying to use the rift breeding cave in order to cut down on the breeding/incubation times, or are trying to get rift versions of them? Because at this time, only garden, feast, steel, and nosferatu can have Rift traits, not faire (this is designated by the grey or gold rift symbol - a circle that has an oval inside with a line slash through it - in the upper left corner of the dragon photo in the dragonarium, not the hourglass symbol that can also be in that same spot, meaning a dragon is limited).
If you are trying to get rift versions of the ones you mentioned, try these combos: •Garden - plant rift and earth rift (there will be tree, moss, clover, forest, and motley fails) •Faire - while it doesn't have Rift traits at this time, it IS a good idea to try to breed this in the rift, to save time since it normally incubates for 54 hours. Any combo that has plant, metal, cold, and lightning elements in it should get it at some point, but there are also ~35 other fails, so patience is definitely required for this lovely dragon. If you are trying to double up on getting any other dragons, breeding spore/ironwood/malachite + zaffer/storm/hail or lycan + metal rift would be good combos •Feast - any combo of light, plant, and earth should do it, but again if you wanna double up, Garden should be a possible outcome here and you could try sand/glass/alpenglow + plant rift, tree/moss/garden (if you get it first) + light rift, or luminous/meadow + earth rift •Steel - just cold rift + metal rift. Also should be an outcome from the Faire combos •Nosferatu - people have said that it's not required to breed thus at night, but I would change your Twilight Tower to Nightfall, starfall, dusk, or spooky just to be safe, as it couldn't hurt. Combos here include decay + fire/cold/earth rift, bone + ghost/spectre/Frostfluff, or lava/obsidian + mountain/glacier
The rift traits of the breeding pairs you are using won't matter for any of the ones you've listed, but do keep in mind that since it is BEB, there will be lots of extra unwanted fails, including the dreaded Auroras and Motleys. Koala!! 🍀

Well, in my impatience to get the whole rift habitat thing going, I spent the etherium I had on two habitats ladt night....
Completely forgetting that we would likely be getting the viridian bundle today. 😳😡🙄😂
Now, instead of happily seeing and enjoying some fancy smoke on my dragonarium, I must wait a couple more hours to collect enough etherium to get the bundle. I may stay up late tonight just to spend quality time with the smoke. 😂
Stay frosty, dp, stay frosty 😈😈😈😈😈

Question for those of you who have paid the 4000E to change the rift alignment. I only need Frostfluff to have all the special rift dragons, so yesterday evening I changed the rift alignment to Cold. It said it would stay that way for almost two days (I think 1 day, 22 hours or something). And the timer reflected that. I was unsuccessful last night, and this morning before the reset it still had a timer of over a day. Now (around lunch time, about 3 hours after reset), the alignment has changed to Lightning. Is this a glitch? I'm now confused about how changing the alignment works...?? Has this happened to other people? Am I missing something? Thanks!
I would definitely consider this a glitch. I haven't changed the rift alignment but I have heard of this happening before.
This also happened to me a few days ago.
I'm only missing Zaffer at the moment. Tried to breed him for days now, but nothing happened. Maybe a little wine will help...?
Sorry Michou, I do not know the answer for sure, but my first thought was no, traits only affect traits, not DNA. Hopefully someone will answer your question better than this.
~~~~~~
I now have 24 Regal habitats. No space for another, so am thinking of buying habitats but only upgrading once or twice until every speck of space is used, then clearing more ether. Not sure how sound that is, lol.
This is correct. Traits only affects possible traits for the child.

Vonfirmath,
Traits CAN be passed down into offsprings' DNA! Here are the two dragons I bred together the other day: (air+metal, with a water trait) and (cold+lightning, with a plant trait). The result was: fire (the other day's rift alignement) + plant (one of the parent's traits). Perhaps this only happens occasionally...

It sounds like you bred the Motley Dragon, which can happen regardless of the parent dragons you use. So that was just a coincidence.

Of course all families members take part in choretime and we presently have an opening cleaning the Sulpher dragons habitat 😁 I will supply all necessary equipment to help you survive the noxious miasma but newbie on board always gets this job.
I have treats 😃. How about a lolly jar full of Pineapple Lumps, Chocolate Fish, Jaffas and Jet Planes. Or maybe you would prefer the temptation of some pavlova or hokey pokey 😁?
Consider yourself officially joined to my whinge 😁🤗

Many thanks KiwiChris. I managed to get m Steel, Feast and Garden rifty dragons this morning. Now just need rifty Nosferatu (thanks for those suggestions), Evergreen, Harvest and Trick. Any suggestions for breeding them would also be appreciated.

I used the storm dragon + meteor dragon, and I indeed ended up with the motley dragon.

KiwiChris?? I see how it is, I offer advise and he gets the credit huh? Lol just kidding around.
Here are some more recommendations for the rift versions of the ones you mentioned: •Evergreen - cold rift + plant rift outta do it, but reindeer and motley will join frostflower, conifer, and lichen as fails during BEB •Harvest - any combo of water, plant, and earth. Mud/river + plant rift or seaweed/swamp + earth rift are good options •Trick - any plant, fire, and earth. If you have a rift Ortreat, it's the same elements, or you could try your new rift Garden + fire rift. Or even bone/lava/obsidian + plant rift.
Feel free to message me if you need any other combos. And it is possible to get the spooky rift dragons from the mystery eggs in the rift market.
What dragons were they exactly? The habitats a dragon can live in is not necessarily an accurate picture of what is needed to breed them.
I used the storm dragon + meteor dragon, and I indeed ended up with the motley dragon.
motley can be obtained from any breeding combo, it's the one dragon that has that, er, *fun*, ability to pop up when you least expect it. It was released for April Fool's Day, so it's a prank that it can show up when the fire and plant elements are not even in the breeding combo.

I have had a Frostfluff dragon + pedestal for a few days now. One of the Rare Egg Of Mystery's that I bought today was another Frostfluff. I -=THINK=- it had a yellow border. So I hatched it, and it was no longer a twin.
Should I contact BFS support?
I have a yellow-bordered rifty Tree, Lotus, Meteor and Wind in my social menu just waiting to be hatched, but I am scared they'll lose their twinishness if I hatch them.

you must have looked at a different egg because there's no way there could have been a twin version of frostfluff. There's no way to get twins of any of the rift dragons that can only have 1 rift trait (rift uniques), whether it be from rift breeding or mystery eggs. magpac has bought over 600 mystery eggs and not one of the rift uniques (zaffer, viridian, lacuna, antumbra, etc) have been twins. Sorry. And emailing BFS will only result in them telling you that there's no way to get twins of the aforementioned rift dragons.
You CAN get twin rifts of any of the 90 basic hybrid dragons, 11 spooky rift dragons, and 2 harvest/autumn rift dragons (that can have up to 10 elemental rift traits unlocked) though.
Sincere apologies to SBF for mixing him up with Kiwi Chris! But in my defence - you are both extremely helpful to us lesser mortals so I consider you joint mentors-in-chief. And of course Arkynos is also a mentor-in-chief. And I'm sure there are others I should add to my list.
