When you buy a Monolith egg from the rift, and you already have a regular mono of that dragon, will you always first get a twin (non rifted) if you don't have one yet? 100,000 Etherium awarded to the person who can actually understand my question:)
only if you get that specific monolith, and have regular/non-twins of all of them. It's random which monolith you will get. But if you have one of each, you should get a twin from the egg. And since I had twins for all of them, I got twin rifts.
I'll take that 100 k E3M via wire transfer now 😂 Lol
Thanks a bunch! Etherium is now being transported.

Hmmm, I had all norm V monos and all V twins, all norm peds but not all twins, and then kept getting a mixed bag of duplicate norms in the rift (like 6 mono 5's) and some rifts, for about a week. I think I only got twin R monos??? Gonna trot off and check... no, got a mix; I'll check later and see if I got any twin Rmonos w/out having a non twinRmono... 🙃

So with the Hooded going away at reset tomorrow, I bred up to 15k yesterday and again just now. Finally got a water trait one on the final breed!
What combo did you use?
I kept switching up the combos, just using the 4 elements. Spore was my highest level dragon with metal and plant, but when I tried to use him it seemed like I was getting a spore every other attempt. It was cactus and forge, level 16s, that finally got it.

I wonder if that's a thing now, with BFS, that we don't get the newer R dragons unless we spend more E? That would fit with what seems to be a tougher stance on 'cost' generally... Anyone with a mature park had luck at low E expenditure?

Do you have a secret sauce combo for Clover? Using Forest+Moss with Plant/Earth traits respectively but no luck yet.
Has anyone else noticed that you can’t level up the Rifty Monoliths using Tiamat or Bahamut? Or is it just my park that’s broken?

Once you have any two of the Rifted Monoliths just keep breeding them together to get the rest. ♻️
EDIT: You are correct that you have to buy Mystery Eggs to get the twins. Hopefully, BFS will change that soon.

I just noticed that today. Spent way too long looking, thinking I just couldn't find my Rift Monos in the list after activating Tiamat and Bahamut. Strange.
Bahamut and Tiamat only level up dragons with one of the 10 standard elements. (5 each.) Monoliths, like any dragon with only Epic elements, have to be levelled the old fashioned way.

Yeah, nah, my point (poorly articulated) was that it seems the newer R dragons (all the newly Rfited dragons) are not being bred for lower levels of E expenditure; folk have reported getting them at E10,000 but not at lower, in the past wee while and many of us don't breed over E5,000, and me, once I get 3 non rifteds in a row, I stop. Don't think I've spent higher than E5,000 since the beginning of the Rift. Prefer to buy eggs at that point.

While it took me til the very end to get Hooded, I did manage to get rift Ovalith on my second attempt when it first came out. I think it's just random still, even when it feels harder to get some of the dragons. The issue is we're missing so many now in the rift, that some are bound to just fail in the time available.
I do wish they'd offer the ability to breed in the rift for gems too as an option. That's what I had to do in my main park in the old days, spam half my gem stash on the last day to get some rare dragons. Once I run out of E and hit the 10-15k range, I'm just done with no other options.
As usual I find myself agreeing with Quil, and have little more to add except to anecdotally note that after a bit over a week of breeding up to and including the 5kE attempts, my Ovarift was bred on a 220 attempt, as was my Rift!Hooded. I suspect that people just mention the cost of successful attempts more when it's at the high end.

Ah, well that's a nice adjustment to the 'sarky streak' that was beginning to occupy my thinking 😀 Id prefer to believe that there are just so many it'll take time i seem to recall either Bloodstone or Greg Darcy or similar venerable players, back in the day, saying something to the same effect to calm the paranoia of those times 😀

I have to agree that technically that is probably true. Or perhaps when they mention all the E they used to breed something they are adding all the unsuccessful attempts on previous days into the calculation.
I bred a traited cumulus in the rift today on a 220 attempt. However, if I count all the previous failed attempts for a cumulus when my rift was aligned to air or water (I used a rain dragon switching traits between air and water and of course mono 2), I spent way more than 220 E getting this dragon. Waaaaaaaay more. So I suppose I could say I bred it on a 220 attempt, but that would be a far from accurate assessment of its real cost.
However, that said, I certainly don't think there is some kind of built in counter that keeps track of how many different times using however many different combinations one goes through getting a specific dragon and when one reaches the magic number spending the requisite E or gems or whatever then one gets their dragon. Humans in general have a problem with randomness, I think. We are uncomfortable with it. We prefer order. If we must have randomness we struggle with assigning some kind of order to it. If we get too much randomness we think the random generator is broken or rigged or something. LOL. I think it's just random. Within certain parameters of course. That's where the rub lies I think. Probabilities muddy the waters.

I managed to get my rift Quartz around the 2,000 or 2,500 breed. I don't think that's too expensive, and it was the first day I tried for it too.
Regrettably, I had not been trying for a rift Hooded because I thought it would stick around for awhile, and now it looks like I'll miss it, unless I get it from: the golden egg around the park, the 2nd community reward I have yet to open, or a mystery egg. I've got like maybe one more 5,000 or 10,000 breed left for the day, but I hate gambling those because it's so expensive and with my luck I usually get rift cactus, firefly, or something I don't want/need instead. The real insult today was when I bred a non-rift Hooded in the Rift. 😢 But....mystery eggs. I'll probably get one that way. BEB is soooo far away, so I can't really even hope for that relief. And I've already missed rift Dusk, Midday, and Winter... blah. Sorry this post just turned into a whine! I'd bring extra riftified cheese and crackers if only I could get a rift Hooded!
I have been using Storm/Frostfire since Blue Moon became available. So far that has gotten me Spring and Sun. Seems like a good combo if you want to include Spring, doesn`t have all that many fails.
