After the 12th attempt, the costs get out of control really quick, which is something to keep in mind if there is ever a limited time rift dragon. Can't just grind it out on the last day.

Here's how many rifterium ecstasy magic shards it takes to breed...

Hopefully there will never be a limited time rift dragon. Limited timers in the regular park is plenty...
It looks like Viridian and Zaffer both require opposite dragons with specific traits. If the rules of opposite breeding apply in the Rift, then it'll be a slightly longer process to breed these dragons. For example, to breed the Viridian we'll need to breed a Dodo with fire trait and a Malachite with light trait. This means we'll have to breed a plant hybrid so we can breed it with a Metal Rift on a light alignment day. Since it looks like the next reset will bring us to a light alignment day, it might be good to start working on the Malachite with light trait at reset.
By the way, did anyone notice that the rift habitats resemble the metal habitats? My guess is that they will change their appearance according to the alignment of the rift! We'll find out soon enough...
I am so confused... does this mean I should breed a Malachite with my Light Rift in my regular park? Or can I only get this breed in my Rift park?
I think only in your Rift park! Since my park is still on metal alignment today, I'll work on getting a Plasma with metal trait so I can use it to breed a Zaffer!

Hey all, I've been missing a lot on here lately as things are pretty crummy with RL. I honestly don't even have time to read all the recent posts or any of this thread. The next five days I'm driving 12hrs to attend a funeral and then back, so won't be reading much then either.
I was really hoping that maybe someone could help me out with this whole Rift bit. I can't focus enough to figure it all out myself right now. If you could link me in a PM or something to specific posts I would greatly appreciate the service.
Miss chatting with you all, hope to be back to it by next week. Just trying to make it in game once a day for now.
'til then, Twelve
PS: already learnt the hard/hasty way that rift feeding takes a fudge load more food than normal park... I could have made 10 lvl20 dragons with the food it took to get one to 19

Dear 12/XII/7+5 etc Sending warm support from the valers it's tough when RL out-toughs the Rift ;(
We have a Totally Rifted support club started for the permanently be-rifted valers; feel free to join
There is absolutely no urgency to dive into the rift; no deadlines or ticking timers.
from my PoV I would transfer all your high rift type dragons from DV habs into however many habitats you can afford in the rift at the mo, so they can earn you the Rift currency, which is named variously as E, etherblah, or E3something ( sorry sbf have forgotten already cos it wuz MATH based (makes sign of banishment)) which is the kicker limitation. Tap on all the wee purple whirlpools you can find as they pop up, they give you more Eblah, and that's sufficient while you work your way though RL
Think of beginning in DV and it's like that, but with the leg up of already having some starter dragons from DV to contribute. The wonderful drow is working on adding the new 100's of variations of dragons ( spare a thought!) Meantime, play in DV, explore Riftie as and when you feel like it Keep an eye on the wonderful Cyn's OP of this thread
And look after yourself and others who RL is biting 🐨🌻
Help! I need advice! I haven't updated my park yet, so not sure what I'm missing. I read last night to level up Rift dragons, which I got to level 17 before maxing out of DCs. Should I do anything else before updating?
*Never mind. I just tried to update and open this Pandora's box, but it's not yet available for my Kindle Fire, it seems. I'm not sure how I feel about this- a little relieved, maybe? I'm going to enjoy my park for now...
So I updated on my iPad, but was waiting to update on my kindle until it just updated automatically, but it didn't update today and man now that I CANT update in want to lol. But it's all good really. My iPad park is not really doing much for me lol. I'm just gonna collect "the stuff" that we can't decide a name for until I have a big enough stash that will actually feel fun when I spend it. Otherwise it's like going to an arcade but only have 2 tokens :/
The cost for clearing the fog gets expensive fast. 1st: 250 2nd: 320 3rd: 405 4th: 515 5th: 650
I was curious, so I plotted those data points up and then added a trendline (using Excel). It comes out to be an almost perfect fit for a 2nd order polynomial. If the pattern fits, that gets pretty pricey fast (if it holds, it will be 800 for the 6th and potentially a 1000 for the 7th)...I'm hoping that the price plateaus at some point or the rate of increase decreases!
Looking for New DV Facebook Friends, Please Send a PM for ID. Thanks!
Hi. Susie Spieler here. I had to create a new account because ... reasons. This is my 5th day without power thanks to Irma so I'm a bit disoriented. I finally got a chance to logon to find this Rift craziness! I'm so confused!
I'll explain a bit of the Rift dimension that may be confusing:
Rift alignment is like weather in the Rift dimension. It affects every Rift breed, so whatever alignment is active might be a rift trait that's passed down to the offspring that you breed. It changes daily, although there was a glitch today where it repeated the same as yesterday, but normally cycles through all 10 elements.
Also, only the basic hybrids (first 90 or so dragons using the 10 elements) can have Rift traits, at this time. Golden hybrids, limited hybrids, epics, galaxy, and gem earning dragons all cannot have Rift traits. The primary element rift dragons and the house mascot rift dragons cannot change their singular rift trait.
Rift traits are basically a way that a basic hybrid dragon, such as flower, could be a "third" type, and a rift dragon. I have a flower dragon that has a metal trait, which means that, when breeding in the Rift cave, it contributes plant, fire, and metal. The traits change the dragons' appearance too.
I hope this clears things up a bit, let us know if there are more questions.
Okay, because lots of people are confused about them, I'll try to write up a thing. xD
Traits
All dragons that have the new Rift element now have a trait. This includes the elemental Rift dragons and the House Rift dragons from the last event, but there is a new source of this as well.
When a standard (non-golden) Hybrid or Opposite dragon is bred in the Rift, there is a fairly high chance that they will be born with the Rift element in addition to their normal ones.
The trait that these Rift dragons have can be any one of the 10 basic elements. A trait is not an element, however, and that dragon does not contribute their trait's element while breeding* or gain the ability to be placed into that type of habitat.
Basic elemental Rift dragons and special Rift dragons are locked to a single, pre-chosen trait. The trait that a Hybrid or Opposite dragon gets can be inherited from the traits of either parent, or can be the current element that the Rift is aligned to. You can see the current element of your Rift space in the bottom icon bar while in the Rift, and from the colour of the firefly effect present there.
The aligned element of your Rift changes every day at the daily reset. (When it's not bugged, this wasn't working yesterday.) You can change the element yourself by pressing the elemental icon in the icon bar and paying a substantial amount of Ethereum. This changes your element to the one of your choice until the reset after next.
Aesthetically, possessing a trait alters a dragon to have part of their body's colouration replaced with a shiny elemental effect. The effect is different depending on what element the trait is. Eggs with the Rift element also are shiny, but this does not vary depending on the trait. There is therefore effectively 10 new variations of each standard Hybrid and Opposite dragon and 1 new variation of their eggs.
When you discover the Transfiguration Tower, you can change the trait of a Rift element dragon to any trait that you have previously hatched that dragon with. The traits that you have unlocked for each breed of dragon can be viewed in that dragon's Dragonarium page.
Some special dragons may require their parents to have specific traits, or the Rift to be set to a specific element in order to be bred.
*This could do with additional testing. Be cautious with your dragons. Terms and conditions apply.
Think that's it. Did I get anything wrong or miss anything?
EDIT: SBF got there before me!

hahahaha. You mean E3M? Crypto currency. I just like calling it that, since it sounds similar and is also "virtual currency".

beautifully articulated. Lol I'm glad we as a community all want to help each other out and share the information.

Thanks. Yeah, how it all works in the Rift isn't the most intuitive thing I've ever seen. I can well understand why people are struggling with it, I'm not even quite sure of all the details myself, but that's what I've pieced together since the update.
In other news, the Rift elements getting stuck worked out in my favour. I was stuck on Earth element, and managed to breed an Antumbran dragon which needs that. Wow! I really love how it looks, it reminds me of my favourite digimon from years ago...
Actually I rather like the designs of all the Rift dragons so far, they're very flashy. More of them to collect is a good thing in my book, but being able to breed them rather than having to collect event currency is better.

by attempt do you mean using the rebreed option? Or is this for every single breed???
Rift traits are basically a way that a basic hybrid dragon, such as flower, could be a "third" type, and a rift dragon. I have a flower dragon that has a metal trait, which means that, when breeding in the Rift cave, it contributes plant, fire, and metal. The traits change the dragons' appearance too.
Hmm, I think your metal-trait Flower will contribute the plant and fire elements but not the metal element to the breed. Metal would only be contributed as a possible trait to the resulting breed, so if you bred two Flowers with metal traits, you wouldn't get a Brass.
To my understanding, I think the standard rules of breeding apply in the Rift: all regular hybrids and opposites are bred exactly the same way as they are in the regular park. The only difference is the addition of traits, and each breed has a pool of 3 traits it can inherit: 1 from each parent and 1 from the Rift's daily alignment.
So as an example, my Rift is still stuck on the metal alignment, so I've decided to work on getting a Zaffer, which requires a metal-trait Plasma. I bred a metal-trait Seaweed yesterday, which I'm now trying to breed with my Lightning Rift. My Lightning Rift will contribute the lightning trait, while the Seaweed contributes its metal trait. The Rift's alignment is now metal, which gives my breed a potential 2 traits it might inherit. Zaffer also requires an air-trait Blue Fire, but it looks like the air alignment will only be coming in 9 days' time, so I might try breeding a Snow or a Blizzard with the air trait, which I can then breed with the Fire Rift to try for an air-trait Blue Fire.
This sounds confusing, but I think it's not so bad once we get the hang of it!
And can't we just call it "etherium"? Why are we racking our brains thinking up new names for it when we have so many other things to figure out (see above)?
GCID: rionhow Thanks to ElektronX for my Light Rift avatar!
New dragon has metal/plant trait breeds water trait can the new dragon have all 3?
I miss the old DragonVale
Each dragon can only have and contribute 1 trait at a time. You can unlock a trait for a specific dragon, then use the Transfiguration Tower to switch to the traits you've unlocked for that dragon.

This is for every consecutive breed within a single day. At reset the prices start from number 1 again.
GCID: rionhow Thanks to ElektronX for my Light Rift avatar!
So is it possible to breed any of the epics with a rift element? Like could you make a rift rainbow dragon, or are only the special rift dragons and the 90 hybrids the only possible outcomes?
