Thanks everyone for the warning and info on the update. I turned off auto-update just in the nick of time. Spending some of my E on Mystery eggs before getting hit with the higher prices. So far a bunch of Rifties I was missing along with a Gemstone twin egg and two Crystalline twin eggs I was missing. Nice haul! I think I will wait until morning to update it case I decide to buy a few more. 💸💸💸
I got it! BFS is going to make the Epics earn more than 20/hr.
Yes? Right???
Actually yes. The rift epics are better earners than all others. They earn 1.5 etherium per level per hour instead of just 1.
One thing I liked about the rift was being able to have normal dragons out on display without tanking my income rate. But now, if you want to optimize your etherium income, you have to go for only epics.
Just ignore the previous post... I meant to say:
I got it! BFS is going to let us use our elemental boosts in the rift so we can earn more than 20/hr with the dragons we already have!
One out of our four games (not mine) got Celtic (Lightning) with Storm + Plant. It is really pretty. It makes 20E at level 13. The only big benefit I see with epics since we are maxed at 200 per habitat is you can achieve higher E income at a lower level.
It will be interesting to see what Ovalith adds to the rift. The larger makeover for the gem island will probably come in to play somehow.
Another thing. Sigh. If you were taking your time and didn’t have 40 habitats. The update changed habitat price. It gradually increases up to 50K rather than staying at a 15k plateau. Sorry to the slowpokes out there
Oh my, that’s me, the slowpoke in question 😳 I only have 24 habitats in the rift right now. How will I every catchup?!? And now more traited dragons as well 🤦🏻♀️ I thought I was graduating from Utterly Rifted to Semi Rifted, but maybe not. Was starting to clear my own purple fogged brain and beginning to finally understand the eggs and twins and allignments.... I feel like I’m falling down the slippery slope to Absolutely Utterly Rifted

Oh ive been a slow poke too and now regret it:( I simply can’t get a grasp on the rift. Lol It just doesn’t excite me.

Same here, just haven’t been able to get that excited about the Rift. It’s been kinda, if I have the extra time for it. I don’t do the airship thing at all anymore. I feel like it isn’t a fair exchange for DC and Treats. On the bright side, the themes are great! Now I can start organizing a bit better 😊

Panicking here....if i did not have this forum to help me understand, i would undoubtedly quit DV at this point ... So many questions i do not even know where to start... Will have to study posts for a bit in the hopes some of my questions will get answered can we get bloom in the rift? (Does not have green hourglass in dragonarium ...) does panlong + bloom get us ovalith in the rift? Just the tip of the iceberg (my confusion) ... Oh, dear! Exasperated is putting it mildly!

Bloom isn't available yet (soon I think), however, if you bred one during BeB then you can breed a traited one in the Rift using Rift!Panlong and Rift!Bloom.
Very grumpy about the egg prices. This was my only way to get twins.
Urrrrrrrr
Well now they will have to give us an in-game friending system so we can get twins the normal way!
Agreed! Getting twins (both rifty and non-rifty) via the 4000E eggs was an enjoyable and affordable side quest of mine. CO-OP breeding for twins is too frustrating IMHO to be a viable option.
Platform : ios GCID : onejoebloggs I love the Double Leap Year dragon
I bought one cold theme for 7500 and put it on one island. To make another rift island cold themed, I have to buy a second one for another 7500.
Thank you for this info. I was just wondering if transforming an island would increase the price for the next transformation, like how everything else in the Rift works.
Guess I know where all my E will be going for the next long while ... (that is, after hopefully breeding a rifty Ovalith).

Exactly, well put calling it a side quest. I actually bought the rare eggs for 7000E. Would buy one, then when I was finished hatching it, I would buy another. Was always looking forward to buying the next one, makes me really sad that I won`t be able to do that anytime soon. This was half the fun in the game for me when there was nothing else to do 😢
Thanks, Arkynos! Only have a non-rift bloom (do have the rift panlong), so i will have to wait for that hourglass.
But we can make rift versions of the hidden dragons (tansy, tulip, etc) and celtic now, correct? So i can work on them 👍🏻
Correct. Rift versions of them are available. Celtic would be a good thing to breed for, particularly if you don't have the Bloom for Ovalith. Breeding the Hiddens will have to wait until some crafty person finds a way to smuggle the Monolith dragons for their combos into the Rift though. Until then... Mystery eggs? I guess? I'm hoping they'll make changes. Or just give us Rift Mono 1 and 2, that'd work nicely.
Anybody know combos for the new dragons in the bucadian breeding nursery? I, too am bummed about the higher prices of E, and I am not going to theme any of my rest islands at that price! I had gotten over my urge to quit DragonVale, but now I’m not so sure again. Seems to me if you are on a fixed income and don’t want to spend money to buy more E, eggs,gems, etc, it is becoming impossible to really accomplish anything.
Perhaps it is listed elsewhere, but I just wanted to provide a consolidated list of new rift additions that came with this update:
_The good_: •The max number of rift islands/habitats increased from 40 to 55 (but the newest ones are VERY pricy to buy - the initial slot anyways. The price to upgrade the habitats from regular to regal are the same, at least from what I've seen and read)
•We finally have island themes for our rift islands!! Currently plant, fire, earth, water, and cold are available. Metal, light, and dark WERE available in the wish market initially, but it appears as though they have been removed by now and are not available for purchase. Air and lightning are currently MIA and unavailable as well.
•Rift traits are now available for: Rainbow, Double Rainbow, Celtic [STORM + any plant], Ovalith [PANLONG + BLOOM], and the Hidden dragons- Stoneshell, Tansy, Plateau, Tulip, Cumulus, and Pond (however, all of the Hidden dragons require Monolith dragons in their breeding combos, and the Monoliths don't have rift traits at this time, so it appears the only way to get these rift Hiddens is via the epic (purple) mystery eggs that are in the rift - your chances of getting a rift version of any of the Hidden dragons goes up or may be solely dependent upon you having both a non twin and twin of them, otherwise you will get the version you don't have from the mystery eggs -- feel free to PM me if that didn't/doesn't make sense. -Rift Epics earn 1.5 times the amount of E3M of the level they are per minute (ex/ a lvl 10 Rift Rajnbow earns 15 E3M/min). No clue about rift Ovalith yet, if anyone knows, please share with the rest of the class.
_The bad_: •It appears as though the E3M cost for leveling up dragons (instead of treats, similar to how you can level up dragons with gems in the non-Rift dimension) has increased quite dramatically (I will post magpac's chart to Imgur/Tumblr and include it here); and the price caps for the rift mystery eggs have also increased, likely due to us having more rift habitats/islands to earn E3M and the fact that rift epics earn more than their non epic counterparts. I'm trying to view this sudden and unannounced price hike with rosebud-tinted-glasses and not think of BFS as being greedy here.
_The other_: •Not really Rift related, but I'm sure everyone has seen the new look for the gemstone island. I personally like it, I know some don't and have seen posts on Facebook stating they would have liked to at least been offered a chance to leave it as it was, or (pay to) update the appearance. I wonder if this change has something to do with the rift Ovalith...
•There's a 3rd chrysalis habitat and all 3 can upgrade to giant - can hold 7 dragons and max DC cap is 2,000,000.
•There's a new gold dragon chest/egg going around, event related, which appears to provide dragons, or a shot at a dragon, and you get to open all 3 chests (as opposed to only 1-2 for Gaia/Kairos quests).
•Event related again- but the new event dragons are breedable using the event only Burcadian Breeding Cave ONLY, and the results are instant like the rift breeding cave, which is pretty cool and interesting, the the dragons still need to go to the nursery to incubate apparently (I have not tried this yet). The combos are: Bilby = COTTON + PLAINS Cocoaholow = SOOT + CONIFER Cumber patch = CACTUS + any Monolith **Be careful though, as it costs 250 eggs per breed. You may spend more eggs breeding for it this way that just purchasing the dragon outright from the prize market if you do are not attentive to how many eggs you are spending to breed. Basically, anything over 24 breeds for Cocoaholow, 30 breeds for Cumber Patch, and 31 breeds for Bilby would cost more than buying it from the prize market. I'm also seeing posts on Facebook that this breeding cave potentially prevents you from earning more eggs, so only do this after you have reached your daily egg limit (1,000 for regular days, 2,000 for doubles).

Is there a trick to getting a 1000 eggs a day. I have played 4 times today and only have 600 eggs.i can’t play more then that so it’s going to be very hard to get enough eggs to buy the new dragons.
