Wow! Thanks. I kinda figured I had started playing DV within a year of when it started… I’ve gone from the basic iPad to the Air 2 & now the Pro, mostly to keep up with DV’s expansion… it’s been a lot of fun. Met so many nice people. We really should have a ‘Meet & Greet’ somewhere, sometime.

I wasn’t sure if you wanted baby Huddle or adult Huddle, so I added both, since they look quite different. Thank you for the request, Huddle is a great avatar addition!

Thank you! I love my new avatar. The baby is cute, but I like the adult more. 🙏
Hello 🙂 If possible, would it be okay if you could add the baby form of Florea as an avatar?
(As we all know, plant + earth + air + fire is the best, Sumi's one of my other favourites 😉😂)
Baby Florea has been added to the list of avatars — great choice! I love Honuhonu too.
And yes, Sumi is quite spectacular. 😊

I would like the Standstone from the splash screen for an avatar.
Wonderful choice, theresa! The adult Standstone dragon has been added to the Forum’s avatars. Enjoy!

[I'll be adding to this as I go along, so apologies if I accidentally send it before it's finished.]
[Also, this used to be formatted properly but then the page decided it wanted to reset and I had to paste from a word document and the formatting of posts on this site is waaay too complicated so I'm not bothering again.]
• I'm not certain, but according to the DV Wiki, Dream is light + dark + another two elements, but the post only has light + dark. Is this because Dream is actually light + dark + two elements (meaning the two elements requirement is covered by light + dark), or is it specifically two non-light non-dark elements? If it is the latter, I think this needs to be added.
• Also, the Ironwrought has an additional 'any' at the beginning of its hint. It's technically correct but since 'any' isn't used elsewhere it could end up being confusing.
Also, there are some dragons with repeated elements in their combo: • Amalgamate: Bone + earth + fire + dark, becomes Bone + dark
• Ariesian: Solarflare + fire, becomes Solarflare + any dragon
• Buttercup: Giddle + air + light, becomes Giddle + air
• Clover: Moss + plant, becomes Moss + any dragon
• Crawler: Manomano + water + dark, becomes Manomano + any dragon
• there might be some more, if there are they'll be after Ponkipong alphabetically, I will reply again if I remember more. • Twinkle: Winter + air, becomes Winter + any dragon

Formatting on the Forum is very different from Reddit, Discord, and FB. Markdown isn’t used, but you do get the hang of it after a little while, and the formatting buttons on the posting page come in extremely handy for those who don’t want to use BBCode (I prefer adding the code, but this can be very tedious).
Regarding the list of breeding hint changes, starting with Amalgamate, the Encyclopedia Dracontine (ED) is providing the breeding hint as it’s written in the game. Amalgamate doesn’t need earth and fire in the breeding combo, since Bone contributes these elements, and a lot of players mentioned this to Deca on Amalgamate’s Rate a Dragon thread. But this is Amalgamate’s breeding combo, and the ED needs to be consistent with the game; otherwise, it will be extremely confusing for players.
The DV wiki, other DV resources, and all DV communities have Amalgamate’s breeding combo as 'Bone + earth + fire + dark' for the same reason.
Ironwrought’s breed combo is correct. In the game it reads: metal + earth + water + air.
I’m not sure what you mean by 'any' for Maze and Orlena. The lower case element (fire, plant) indicates the element is required. Upper case (Fire, Plant) indicates the Fire dragon, Plant dragon is required. 'Any' isn’t necessary.
I’ve added '+ any two other elements' to Dream. Cheers!
EDIT: Under Limited Dragons: Rare Dragons, Ironwrought is listed correctly. Under Anniversary Dragons the word 'any' slipped in. When the ED was created, 'any' was in the breeding combos. I removed the word, because it’s unnecessary. It looks like this one was missed and snuck through.
MinyaZ maintains the ED, if she wants to add 'any' to the breeding combos again, I’ll leave it to her.

Thanks for replying in regards to the 'any', I meant any dragon. (I'd got a bit bored by that point cos looking at every combo was very tiring 😅)
No worries then, if it needs to be consistent with the game. But perhaps there could be a note at the end of the post saying that repeated elements don't need to be present in the second dragon? For example, when I saw Amalgamate's combo was bone + earth + fire + dark, I'd thought that meant the other dragon had to have all three elements, and it was only when someone else had managed to get it with dark element only in the second dragon that I was sure that I could get it with the combo that I was using (which was Bone + Char, so char doesn't have earth).
I just thought it might be helpful for people in the same position as me, who don't really understand how everything works in-game, but I get that it would be confusing if it wasn't the same as what it said in-game.

Thanks for the clarification. To keep in line with the game, Orlena’s and Maze’s breeding combo will need to stay the same. But MinyaZ may add a blurb at the top of the ED posts, indicating that if a parent dragon contributes some of the elements in the breeding hint, it isn’t necessary to use another dragon with those elements. We do remind players of this when a new dragon is released and the contributing elements are in the breeding combo. But of course, new players joining later, will not know all the various breeding rules in the game.

I have put a comment in the ED specifying that if a parent dragon contributes elements in the breeding hint, the elements do not need to be repeated in the other dragon.
It isn't always easy to remember what information that a newer player might find confusing and need clarification on. Hopefully this will help. 😊
