I forgot to claim my egg from one of my Runic Breeding Caves before it expired. Can I still claim it?
Yes, once you have activated a Runic Breeding Cave you can claim your free egg from that cave at any time during the event, even if the cave is no longer activated.
Great catch! I probably should have read the FAQs instead of just skimming them.
See BOLD below:
Every player will have one Runic Breeding Cave to start with and will be given a bonus Runestone to activate a second cave during the tutorial. This bonus cave will be available to use for a period of one week.
On double Flower days, players will be given an additional cave to breed in. On Triple Flower days, each player will have two additional Runic Breeding Caves available to use. Each cave will generate Flowers, and you can claim 1 free egg from each Runic Breeding Cave you have activated.
You can also purchase Runestones in the Market that will allow you to activate more Runic Breeding Caves. These caves will last for a period of one week from the time of activation. It is important to note that reactivating the same cave will not allow you to select more than one egg to keep from that cave.
So kids, keep track of which Caves you have activated so you don’t activate the same one twice. No chance of that happening to me as I stink at Wheel of Chance and Dragon Drop so those Rune Stones will be few and far between! What happened to Name That Egg? That I could do. 🥚🥚🥚
The event is currently set to a night theme, Dusk. If you change it with the Twilight Tower because Sun is a playlist element and breeding Sun dragons makes complete sense, every time you leave the game or switch parks, the theme reverts back to Dusk. Remember to change the theme to a daytime version before you breed in the Runic Caves.
Thanks for the reminder, adlerist! Rookie mistake: I was trying Sun+Sun set on Nightfall. No wonder I wasn’t getting Sun!
But Sun and Sun at night might still result in a Sun yes?
I really like the look of this event but I'm not excited about having a bunch of pedestals lying around in order to get the new dragons. I just collect one and done.
I don't think they'll be "lying around". This seems to be referring to the extra caves that appeared and the pedestal scoreboard that comes with it.
An idle question: am I the only one puzzling "why all the ads about other games?" if, as Dreki points out, it seems we'll only be playing this one?

Very good to know, thanks! So that's four free claims, and a maximum of ten. And there's no rush to breed something cool to claim, though it's something worth doing at some point over the next month.
If anyone reading this gets a Runestone from a Golden Chest, would you kindly post and let us know? It would make sense as a possibility, but with the games being Drop A Ping Pong Ball Into A Box Of Armed Mousetraps Simulator and Wheel Of Land On The Sector Next To Win, I can't imagine it possibly being worth spending gems to find out.
I suppose Backflip could always be kind to us and give us one in the daily gifts... Wait, do those words belong in the same sentence as each other? 🤔

So we only get to keep 6 of the eggs we breed...am I reading that correctly? Poop I already cant visualise how many caves there are in total 👣👣👣👣👣 checking 🤣

I was gone most of the day and still managed 7000 event currency and already claimed two twins from the caves. ♥️ This event so far.
The guaranteed pick of a dragon that I need may be the tipping point for me to spend some money on the game again. And it seems so much easier to clone a dragon in those caves even with just one. 😊
Speeding up the breeding in the rustic caves cost the amount of gems equal to the number of hours remaining if breeding in a regular cave. Not according to the time remaining in the rustic cave. I didn’t notice at first
Rigel is a limited purchase with no timer. Anyone have a sense of how long it will be offered?
When I first looked at it shortly after reset, I'm pretty sure it said 10 days, though of course it doesn’t now. Hard to say whether that was an “oops, revealed too soon” or a wrong number altogether.

Thanks. I guess I just don't fully understand how to unlock the new dragons. For instance, I have multiple Sun dragons but just one pedestal displayed. So my goal should be to breed more in the new caves?
But Sun and Sun at night might still result in a Sun yes?
I bred Sun + Moon in the rift and got a Sun even with nightfall time Thats cloning, and it works
unknownlance and crumble608 are absolutely correct! I know because I bred a Sun whilst set on Starfall. At least it was Starfall when I first bred and changes back to Dusk EVERY TIME I log back in! AND the FIREFLIES show back up with EVERY LOG IN! I was wondering why logging in was taking forever each time, they better fix that.

From the BFS FAQs page: All breeds in Runic Breeding Caves are reduced in time and can be sped up with Gems. Please note that the cost to speed up a breed will increase with each use.
I can attest to this as I sped a few up and now the Gem price has really jumped. Question is: What happens to Dragons mid-cycle being bred in the new caves when the cave timer deactivates? Does it complete the cycle and give you the dragon and you just can’t start a new breed? Or does it disappear the dragon since it did not finish in time before the deactivation in which case speedups would come in handy? Time will tell.

For Sailback you need 3 sun dragon Pedestals, 3 moon dragon Pedestals and 1 sunscorch dragon pedestal. For Monte you need the same 3 sun and moon pedestals and also 1 party pedestal. You can breed them them in the rift or in your breeding caves or try to clone them. Personally I wouldn't focus on breeding them in runic breeding caves because you only get to choose one dragon to keep from those breeding caves.

Susan, you can unlock one dragon per new caves, so that’s not a good way to get pedestals. Go for pedestals in the rift. I had 2 rifted Sun dragons, and since time is different the rift, was able to clone them for pedestals pretty easily. Can only move 2 pedestals at a time, so be prepared either to wait 2 hours if you need more than 2 (I only had one each Sun and Moon, so I needed 4 new pedestals), or speed the move with etherium. Koala! Monte and Sailback aren’t limited, so there’s time to get the pedestals without using tons of etherium, doesn’t have to be done in 1 or 2 days.

I found all the flag bearers in one game but the pink border is still there around the visitors icon. What am I missing?
And thanks so much to all the folks working on this thread! I’d be lost without everyone’s input!
It means you found all of your regular flag bearers but still have some event visiting Elemental Flag Bearers to find.
The problem with the last event was the way it was set up to make you afraid to spend the event currency until the very end. Sad because there was no joy in getting something new until the very end. This time they have done it right by front loading the event with a triple day and having NO DAILY LIMIT on Flower collecting! I was able to collect so many Flowers on the first day that I bought MONTE who is now blue-hearted for your Co-Op cloning potential. Every Flower will count in this event so... LEAVE NO FLAG BEARER BEHIND!
I managed to collect 7500 flowers, but I don't think this will be sustainable unless real money on runes is spent or unless they have an inordinate amount of triple days where you get 2 extra runic breeding caves. On regular days it will be tough going, especially when the time to have the extra cave for the rune we used in the introduction runs out ( I think it's 6 days? maybe) and your working with only one cave. I'm not sure when this event is supposed to end. I do know there are 36 days of prizes being held by the tidal timekeeper but apparently the endings of events are not readily shared. Not sure if that means they are open ended or if they are just a secret. Another possibility is BFS is now into to keeping their options open. Or maybe the ending is clearly noted somewhere and I just missed it. Anyway, I would consider spending money but I really don't want to lose my gems from watching Tolzar's Optical Oracle ads. I really count on those, especially considering how often the events force you to throw gems and caution to the wind.

Oh, thank goodness! For minute I was afraid I'd have to spend gems on all those sun and moon pedestals (I only collect the Halloween pedestals for the purpose of decorating my autumn/Halloween themed island, and a handful of light pedestals for my light/dark themed island).
