Haha! My mini-whine for Herald worked! Thank you, Whine Gods. 😊💕 Just got him in the Rift with Storm X Lacuna. All the light hybrid fails have produced a nice little DC income these past couple days. Only 1/2 billion more till my next island- and then I'm going to reorganize my entire Park. Should be fun!

How do you choose between breeding, island buying or clearing in the rift? I haven’t cleared much ether (my next patch will cost 7500 to clear,) I have twenty-one islands all at the upgrade with 5000 point, my next island will cost 5000 ether to buy, and breeding is kind of boring right now even though I have several rare breeds to do. Ether seems to take forever to earn (most of my dragons are at level 7 or 8) ....... Anyone else annoyed with the rift?

Kedas , I'm sure you'll get better number crunching help from those valers skilled in that For my part, as an approach, I followed the map (OP) to find the three buildings, then shifted between: clearing ether (E), save for new island, buy new island, breed ( to limit of E at the time, and now v rarely to 10k level, get eggs instead) and keep all dragons to earn E, feed to low levels ( under L10) from food stash (cleared me out, that in turn meant juggling DC and food production in the Vale) fill island, save and clear ether, new island, breed etc.
Am only now selling ( if worth lots DC) or releasing duplicate and non R dragons, cos am at max habs and all are full. Don't have near all R dragons yet lol.
I continue to use 'Bathmat' twins for feeding up R dragons only ( at this stage), always selecting the lowest level R dragon The early R days were a fun juggling challenge of multiple factors for me, cos I don't have a wealthy park.
Heaps of 🐨 to you 😄

Ok, I'm officially submitting a WHINE for a rift Spirit. Days of breeding rift ghost + rift spectre, without even a non rift spirit. The only silver lining is I've virtually unlocked every trait for glacier, mountain, arctic, and permafrost...
Sounds like my attempt for Dracabra... I know I am running out of time for BEB, but somehow I am hating and wishing for an end to BEB.
I'm 99% done with rift dragons. The only one I'm missing is a traited Gargoyle, which needs a monolith in the breeding combo, so I can't actually finish up. Mildly infuriating.
I hope Backflip has some sort of plan to address this, other than "just buy mystery eggs". Getting any specific dragon from them is like a 0.6% chance... which is only going to get worse over time.

58 limited new Rift dragons released at BeB. 53 breedable. 5 unbreedable: Gargoyle, due to Monolith parent required. Bounteous, Teozinte, Plumpkin and Seraph; all apparently too recently released to be included in BeB this year?
My progress (as of opening the reward egg tomorrow): 41 obtained. 17 remain. 13 of those are breedable. Am wishing I'd saved 2 million Etherium before BeB for eggs rather than the measly 100k I had.
Finally got Bicentennial after today's reset. I'm going to call it and Century out here for being mean. Mean being taking over a week each to breed a traited one, and teasing me with their untraited counterparts as fails. Came this close to posting whines for them. Also for giving only untraited Icy Torrent and Mountain Sun/Hidden Bolt eggs during that time. Those are in my 13 left.
I think I'm out of time to complete the set before BeB ends now. Too many awkward dragons left. Will probably cut the breed count way down for a bit when it's over, clear the rest of the clouds and build a sizable Etherium stash. Don't want to get caught out again if, say, the Rift expands or Epics get traits... Oh boy. Don't even want to think about Rift Epics yet. Gargoyle is bad (should have been left out, like Shield) but there's just so many Epics that lack an elegant way to get them in the Rift. Monoliths, Snowflakes and all Chrysalis dragons for a start.
In retrospect I think I'd have preferred if only the winter limiteds were given traits for the event/BeB as expected and the rest got them throughout 2018 as they were rereleased. It's probably Epoch's fault: this is the correct release window for it, but its locked parents necessitate the release of Bloom and Bearded to prevent the Gargoyle issue, and it cascades from there to just releasing everything.
...This became a blog post again, that means I'm breaking my new year resolution. Oh, by the way, Happy (late) New Year if I forgot to wish everyone one!

My thoughts as well. I think they could have easily got around the Epoch issue by only releasing dragons along that have had the required parents released and then the next year as more parents have become available release the rest. It would have given a constant stream of something to work for and not so overwhelming at once.

Totally agree; it felt like a dumpster truck move, not a thought out strategy... And I'm wondering if they would have gathered more revenue by piecemeal releases over time...
A few good days in the rift gave me traited Bloom, Love, Rose, Icebound and Teozinte limited dragons. I also managed Frostbite, Sonic and Abyss which I needed as well. Teozinte traited was a mystery egg, all others were bred.
So I've been thinking about the winners and losers regarding the Rift and BeB in my park.
Winners
- Some really good traited dragons. Dark Flurry is beautiful and just as I wanted it. Metal Icebound and Plant Spirit were surprising hits. Honourable mentions to Neoteric, Ironwrought and Gourd too. - Rift Variety. No duplicates in there now, makes it look really cool. Looking forward to seeing it after I've cleared the rest and organised it. - Mystery eggs. Responsible for probably half of the limiteds I got. Gotta give credit where it's due here.
Losers
- Disappointing trait results. Some of the limiteds don't stand out much in the trait I got them in. Probably my fault, I got Light everything for some reason. Light Paper is the epitome of this, basically indistinguishable from the regular. - Rift capacity. I'm at 212 unique Rift dragons now. Send help, and also more habitats would be nice. - Mystery eggs. Rift specials seem to appear disproportionately frequently, and they've been lousy for new twins. A thought I keep having about that is that maybe there's a certain chance for it to try and give you a twin you don't have yet, but the game doesn't realise that the reason I don't have a Twin Snowsquall is because they don't exist. Would explain both things.
...It's really the same things on both lists, isn't it. 🙃

After spending most of the event trying to breed a Mistletoe in the rift with the same results over and over I literally gave up breeding in the rift at all. So I have no idea what I don’t have of rift dragons. That being said my I have all dragons and have red fire 🔥👍🏼😁. So I’ll just start slowly breeding for the other rifties as they become available through the year. Way less overwhelming and more opportunity for surprises. 😊
With the demise of game centre I just started in FB to be able to friend people from this forum and join in on the fun. Please message me if you want to send a friend request so I know to watch for you😊, I never check FB otherwise. I'm deleting random requests way too many of those 😮.

Just got 2 mistles in rare egg purchases in Rift.... Maybe try that? Koala!!!

Siiigghhhh it is not to be 😂😂😂😂. Bought 4 rare egg but only 1 was a rift egg. All were twins. Oh well, I may try some rift breeding again during whatever is left of the BRB but NOT for a mistletoe 🤨

Don't think anyone's mentioned it yet, but with the Om of Noms dragons available for the rest of BeB that gives everyone a few days of opportunity to breed Rift Seraph, Bounteous, Teozinte and Plumpkin... Leaving Gargoyle temporarily as the only mystery egg exclusive Rift variant. Bred Cold Seraph today myself, very pretty.
Rift Orchid has gained eyes now, which is nice, especially if you're a Rift Orchid.
Oh, and displaying TwinRift eggs gives you the trait now. Don't know when that was fixed, but tried it again today and it worked. Thanks, BFS!
Anyone know the combos for the oms of noms dragons that now available?
The new rares are all just their elements: Fire/Air/Light for Seraph, Plant/Earth/Fire for Plumpkin and Bounteous, Plant/Earth/Cold for Teozinte. Bogberry is... Bog + Berry, in what is being described by scientists as "obvious in retrospect".
I got a Plumpkin in the rift a couple of days ago while trying to get a rift Cotton with Flower and Quake. I hadn't even read the message that the Om of Noms dragons were available, so that was quite a nice surprise! The sad part was that it wasn't in my main game, where I can't even get Ironwrought yet, and most of my active friends are apparently permanently gone since my Game Center glitch and Backflip says they have no access to my Game Center friends. Still happy for my Plumpkin though!
Help. I'm trying for a Rift Gourd since after getting a Rift Panlong. I kept getting useless hybrids bar that one traited Snapper. I'm whining hard right now. Chanting give me some Thanksgiving spirit right now! I hunger for Rift Gourd, Plumpkin and Bountiful!
