You're right, it has since disappeared from my market.

Had it in the market, bought it because I'm still occupied with the love rifts and Carnival, and now it's gone from the market. My second park never had it in the market. Strange thing...

Glitch 😈 Gratz to those who pounced !!! ( not me 😢)
I was so pissed at the annoucement (and prepare for Chinese / Oriental New Year) that I jumped both specimen and egg - set Etherium stocks back by 1 day, but I'm not working extra anymore just now!
Got it! Moss w Bolt trait x Garden w Earth trait, 4 tries 🐨🐨🐨🐨🐨everyone!
Thank you, Kiwichris! Using your Moss/Garden combo, I got a Tumblethorn, no kidding, first try. Strangely, I couldn’t find it in the market, wanted to see about buying a pedestal, but not there. But I’m happy I was able to breed the dragon so quickly.

I am a member of the Utterly Rifted Club, so I feel I can ask this question: are the traits crucial when trying to breed something like Tumblethorn? I ask because using Moss (dark) & Garden (cold) created lots of mosses & other sundry dragons, but nothing close to a Tumblethorn (or anything else I wanted). The Rift is like the Co-Op; I rarely get what I'm trying for. Now I'm going to sit in the corner & cry into my Razzleberry tart.

Either one of the dragons or the rift itself need to be earth element to get Tumblethorn. That should be the only thing you are missing.

If a dragon is Rift exclusive then the traits probably matter. You can sort those Rift uniques into 4 different categories. In all but one case they're something you need to pay attention to.
1) Requires a specific trait in the breeding mix. e.g. Kampos, Plumewing Fairly easy to get by accident. Inherits its trait from the mix but not necessarily it's elements, which is unusual for DV.
2) Requires specific elements and a specific trait in the mix. e.g. Thunderbird, Tumblethorn It doesn't matter precisely where, but at least one parent's trait or the daily alignment must be aligned to that element at the time of breeding.
3) Requires specific elements and a specified Rift alignment e.g. Antumbra, Frostfluff If you're targeting these you'll either have to wait until the alignment revolves to the correct one for the combo, or change it with Etherium.
4) Requires two specified dragons, each with a specific trait e.g. Zaffer, Viridian All three of these have so far had two opposites as the required dragons, but that pattern won't necessarily continue.
You can pretty much ignore the parent dragons' traits for type 3, but they are pretty vital for the others.

Greetings to a fellow member 🤗 At the significant risk of being chased by a Luggage made from Sapient Pearwood; I've started to be a bit intuitive (cos I can't understand the rules let alone follow them 😂.... UR, after all) So I look at what elements the desired dragon has, and in the case of Tumblethorn both parents I picked were earth and plant, so I added Bolt just coz its V time ... No idea if it was important, but it's worked for a few Valers... and you added dark and cold into the mix... Maybe... So can you use the Trans Tower to shift the traits of your parents?
Ps feed the soggy tart to the birdies, and have a fresh one 😜

Thank you both, so much! I don’t Have earth or plant traits unlocked for either Garden or Moss, so I guess i’ll wait for the correct Rift alignment. Thank you for explaining all this again! I wonder how long it will take for it all to sink into my poor brain? Getting a fresh tart, as suggested.

In the meantime, You could also use the cheaper R breedings, the first few each day, to try for an earth or plant traited garden and moss; check the sandbox for which parents; i just checked, for Garden and tataaa top of drows list is garden x moss soooooo id just keep persisting breeding those two, and as soon as the right pair are produced, a moss w earth or plant trait or bolt, and a garden w earth or plant or bolt you'll be able to switch traits of your levelled up breeding pair, in the trans tower...et voila! (Crossing fingers for you 😊) Let me know if I've babbled and this doesn't make sense, UR after all 😜

Kiwichris, I took your advice, bred a Moss w earth trait; that didn't get me anything. This morning, I changed the Rift alignment to earth, still nothing. Then, leveled both Moss & Garden up to 15. Three breeds later, TUMBLETHORN IS MINE!!!! Thank you so much! Now to try for a pedestal.

I got a tumblethorn pedestal breeding for Satin using Love and Earthrift.

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 😮.

Hi! So I’m new to the forum. I just picked dragonvale back up again after deleting it for a few years... I was level 40 and stopped when the metal dragons had just come out! But I’m interested to hear your thought thoughts on the rift... feeding these dragons is crazy expensive and I don’t really see the draw in rebreeding a bunch of these dragons that I already have on the islands just for the rift trait. Obviously I want to get the rift only dragons though! Just wanted to know if people were trying to get them all again? One in every trait? I think I’m going to do the bare minimum with to get the rift dragons, but that’s it.

Many of us who have been playing for years have all the current dragons, so the rift is a new opportunity to collect more, in a different way. There are also advantages to having rift dragons and building up a large park over in the rift world. For one, you get more breeding opportunities to get dragons you need, I can often do more breeds per day in the rift than I can in my main park. I just got the new Satin dragon with my rift breeds today. You also can get instant breeding there. Breeding a 2+ day rainbow type dragon is no big deal, it's ready immediately for hatching.
While it may seem daunting at first, the rift is new enough that you can catch up to the old timers in the rift in a very short time. Follow the rule of only clearing what you need to clear to make room for a new island, and keep buying new islands and upgrading them as soon as you can. Keep them filled with any/all rift dragons you can make, even if you can't level them that far yet. Pretty soon you'll have many islands and a constant source of Etherium, making that side of your park more efficient than your main park. At that point, you can start buying the mysterious eggs and getting dragons you've missed, catching your park up on all the dragons of the past few years.

The fantastic thing about the rift is when you breed there, you get the new dragon RIGHT away -- so when we have limiteds that are breedable (like this last weekend), it gives you 5-6 more chances to breed the dragon everyday. And without clogging up your nursery with long fails. (I usually breed through 1500 essence. Sometimes the 2000 level if I'm desperate). Also, harvesting essence in the Rift gives you good results for gaining your daily supply of roses or whatever the current activity currency is. (Esp important when you get a late start on collecting for the day)
