I have some updates for the sandbox. A couple of these were reported by players in various DV communities.
• Flowerhop is showing as unavailable. • Flowerhop had the plant element added to it. It’s now a four-element dragon. • Narcis’ breeding combo is Ouroboros + dark + metal. The sandbox is showing breeding pairs for Ouroboros + dark + water. (See two posts below for updated request) • Terradiem had the plant element added. It’s now a four-element dragon. • Gargoyle’s elements were changed to earth, water, plant, lightning. • The sandbox is showing single-parent cloning is possible for the evolve dragons: Aubergine, Blotato, Curlyleaf, Glyph, Hedera, Karroot, Minchi, Pixie, and Vidalia.
Thank you so much, Drow!

Isn't that because Ouroboros gives metal + water (and lightning) already, so you don't need to repeat metal and it doesn't matter if you add in water? I looked at the parent finder and the main Sandbox and neither of them seem to have issues with recognising that Ouroboros + a dragon with dark + metal (no water, e.g. Chitin) can result in Narcis.
Unless you were referring to something else?
Narcis was pointed out by a Discord player, and I did not double check. Yes, Ouroboros contributes metal. I’ll scratch Narcis from the list. Cheers!
But it does bring me to another point I was going to mention later…

drow, for dragons like Narcis, when the breeding combo only needs one primary element, because the other parent dragon is contributing the other required element(s), is it possible to have the primary dragon show first? It might alleviate some of the confusion. Similar to the Narcis complaint, there was also one about Glasswing (but I did double check that one).
For example:
1. Narcis = Ouroboros () + dark + metal
So the top result could show
Narcis = Ouroboros + Dark dragon
2. Glasswing = Daydream () + light + dark
So the top result could show
Daydream + Air dragon
The old version of the sandbox had combos with the primary dragons showing first for both breeding and cloning. I assumed it was because there were a lower number of breeding fails, since the primary cannot be cloned, and there’s a breeding bonus with elders. Now, I see that’s not why they were listed first, but it does make sense to have the combos with the primaries at the top of the list, since many players use elders.
Sorry about all the requests. And thank you! 😊

Hi. Quick note on Terradiem. It's showing with the plant element in the all dragons tab, but when using the parent finder, the plant element is missing from the suggested combos. The plant element was added to the breeding combo as well as the info card. The same is true of Flowerhop. The parent finder does not recommend the newly required plant element in the suggested combos.
if the site's down, its probably going to be for a few days, sorry. its not responding to any remote requests, and i'm currently a few hundred miles from the on/off switch.

If possible, please could an over-arching Epic element be added to the All Dragons page? I think it would be most useful if, for example, someone was looking for epic dragons that have a specific shown primary element/hidden element. At the moment you'd need to select each epic element, then deselect that one and select a new one, to only get epic dragons with that element, or not select any epic elements but that will then also show the non-epic dragons with that element.
Also, this isn't about the Sandbox itself, but is there a mistake in the Crossword? The only plant/earth hybrid, even with BeB selected, that has 6 letters is Forest, which means the second letter of the air/plant hybrid is t, which isn't possible. Across 7 (plant + earth) is the only one I'm missing.

oomagooma25 noticed Dapplethorn is showing as unavailable in the sandbox.
I’d love to start seeing Dapple in breeding results to begin collecting all 10 traits!

LOL! I missed this GIF earlier. I love this show!
If anyone hasn’t seen it, it’s called The IT Crowd. Go check it out!

It looks like the breeding odds were removed from the Sandbox, perhaps that's causing an issue with the parent finder (if it's trying to sort by odds, etc). I know there has been some chatter on discord about the odds being inaccurate, but the reality is that they were really close programmatically. What was missing was the cloning odds and the dragons with no set breeding odds (like normal hybrids). With those missing, it can potentially throw the other numbers way off despite most of the data being in place. I know you made a lot of changes in the past year to bring in all of the correct weights, and that was the majority of the work needed for final numbers.
If you ever want to discuss those last steps, it would be awesome to get those numbers adjusted if possible. The Sandbox really is so much easier to use than other sources for quick breeding checks, with availability on pretty much any platform.

Since yesterday the Parent Finder does not come back from “Loading”, tried multiple browsers. Anyone else having this problem?
Yes, I have also had this problem
It's happening for everyone. I imagine it's something to do with the odds being missing/having been removed. On the subreddit, adlerist said that Drow knows this is the case.
Any news on when Drow may be able to fix the sandbox - I would love % chances to help me to decide breeding activity during the current mini event
I messaged Drow the other day, not on the Forum, on another platform, so he should be aware of the Parent Finder bug. I’ll reach out to him again today to check the status.
As Robin suggested, use the Compendium. It has the game’s percentages. The sandbox had approximate percentages, and it appears they have been removed.
