Just a quick question, are event dragons still breedable until the event market closes, or at this point can you only get them by buying in the market?

I assume you are asking about Cocoahollow, Rosebud, Cumulus etc? Yes, they should still be breedable for another day. I haven't checked the Dragonarium, but they should have a green hourglass beside them. The Chrysalis and Monolith dragons are permanent, so always breedable. The new event dragons are not breedable unless you have one to clone - Minchi & Glyph require two the same as parents.
It would be nice if DECA could give an announcement about the Runic Caves closing. Every event like this, people get caught out and don't claim their dragons in time. A timer on the caves would be a good idea - rather than under the eggs which notifies everyone when the event is ending.
Or, perhaps they could leave the event island up, but make the games, Runic Caves etc inactive for the final two day countdown. Then it is obvious that there are only two more days to claim your dragons from the Runic Caves.
This would have been really helpful, especially when they were being so secret squirrel about when the event was actually going to end. 'We'll let you know a couple of days before the end' isn't really good enough when that notification is after the event island has disappeared.

Yes, this was me. I can’t keep up with anything now anyway, and we were trying to do stuff as a family while also social distancing... and I just forgot that the short notice about the end of the event meant the runic caves would close. So I was given random eggs; instead of being able to redeem the Minchi egg as a rift that I’d planned, I have a twin rift Ash with metal trait. Bummer for me.

This was a good event got the twins and rift twins of all the new dragons so I liked it a lot but I would’ve hated it if I missed claiming my eggs because DECA didn’t have the date in the game. I emailed them and told them to add it or players will not get their eggs in time, but maybe programming a new announcement was too time consuming or difficult. If that’s true, I think changing the event island would be way too complex, not that they can’t do it but it would take too much time and they wouldn’t think it was worth it. But I totally agree with what you said these are great ideas they should be thinking about. I hope they can come up with something because they keep forgetting to tell us about the last day we can gain event currency (when the event island leaves).
Deca has started replying to emails about the event end date by confirming 24 May as the last day to collect Magic Eggs. The time isn’t included in their response, but based on the end date mix-up from the last event, the current pop-up messages, and the email I posted, we can conclude:
The last day to collect event currency and claim eggs from the Runic Breeding Caves is 25 May at 11.00am MDT.
I’m not entirely sure why this date could not be disclosed in the email from Wednesday, five days before the event is to end, but it was recently mentioned that the possibility of an event extension could’ve been the reason. However, there’s no confirmation of this, so it remains speculation.
I’ve asked Deca to state both end dates (last day to collect currency and day the event store closes) and their times in the event FAQ and in-game messages for future events. Several other Game Reps requested this as well, and also added the outstanding point that event extensions are viewed positively by players, so they should never be a reason to withhold the event’s end date.
TY so much for asking DECA to put the event dates in the game and faq and TY to everyone who emailed DECA and asked them to do this.
adlerist thanks for letting us know the 25th was the last day. There are A LOT of angry people on Reddit who missed getting their eggs because the Reddit event thread says the 26th is the last day and it doesn’t say the last day to claim eggs. That’s because it doesn’t say it in the game or faq and no one over there is emailing DECA over and over to get the dates because why should they have to?
It’s annoying that we have to email them for this basic info. I play other games and the event dates are always shown it’s ridiculous to hide it and to tell players you can’t disclose it when they email you days before the event ends. But I know DECA is new to Dragonvale so I’m not going to hold it against them (unless they keep doing it). I think overall they’ve done a great job and this is a really easy problem for them to fix, literally all they have to do is what you suggested, show the dates and times for the event. What could be easier than that.

Thank you, adlerist, for your efforts & help!!!! I have just sent my request to Deca support & will let you know what happens. I really appreciate the efforts both you and Deca are taking to work this out for us.
Hi mishkamom, and all. I remember you from here when I was more active. I just started up again for this event and had the same circumstances as you. My "undesirable" reward dragons are plants, other elementals, and easy breeds. Nothing exciting. I am taking the advice, writing DECA, and using it as an opportunity to thank them for continuing with DV, as well. On a side note, I do need more frequent gem exchanges. I am attempting to add Bex#3365 and Lumi's accounts. (We were friends previously.)

You’re very welcome, but it’s not Deca and I. All the players who contacted Deca made the difference. And the other Game Reps too. It’s the power of the people.
I hope your eggs are delivered safely and soon!

I can’t spend my last event currency because of errors when trying to log in. There were a bunch of glitches with new event info and I was spending my currency and got kicked out.

Same here. Still had 16,000 eggs to cash in. Even tried the power down but no avail.

Same here. Wanted to contact Deca about runic cave selection, but I can’t get into any of my parks. I wonder if it has anything to do with the new loading screen- “Suncrest Soirée”. I was in about 15 minutes ago and noticed that all of the headings in the eggsquisite market are changed. I took a screenshot, but don’t know how to attach it.
These are the prize tiers for the next event (see Updates thread).

I have been trying unsuccessfully to breed a rosebud dragon, for what seems like forever! Not only have I been trying for over a week now, I also tried during BEB. I think my dragons heard that I am allergic to roses. So although I have rose dragons, they don’t want to compound the problem and cause an allergic reaction. I wish they would believe me when I tell them pixel roses do not cause me any problem, only the real ones with their pollen.
My dragons stubbornly refused to give me a Rosebud dragon. I tried almost constantly in the runic and my main park. I even bred against my baby park in the coop to get a Rose dragon, so I could get a rift version from the runics for both parks. Even in the rift I was not able to breed a Rosebud. I have decided my Rose dragon must have been jealous and afraid I would like the Rosebud more than her. However, no matter the reasoning, I now have a Rosebud to enjoy, I just had to buy it with event currency.
Bravo, Deca on introducing your first dragons to the Vale in the Spring Shellebration!
It doesn’t get more marvellous than this.
As Hedera, Minchi, Pixie, Glyph, Woodvine, and Clairvoyant perfectly merge into the Vale, Deca’s DragonVale is now officially in full swing.
