I have been able to clone just a Grimoire so far using Elder Air. What did you use to get Dortal/Vampire?
I bred Dortal with Dark elder on the third attempt, and Vampir with Sandstorm (level 20) on the fifth attempt. My secondary account used Air elder for both. No elder regrets! 😊
I just got Dortal using my Elder Air, just after failing with my level 17 Wind as suggested. I'll be sticking with it when I see someone with their Vampir back up.

I’m sure Forum members will discover this soon. So here’s a heads up to prevent crashes. There’s a bug with the newly added Ghostly dragons.
It appears Lava, Obsidian, Mountain, Glacier, Nosferatu, Bone, Decay, Ghost, Oni, Spectre, and Spirit can be evolved into their Ghostly versions for 1000 Candy. Just click on the regular version of the dragon and select the Evolve button. You don’t need to breed them.
For those of you who want twin versions of these Ghostly dragons, if you have a twin of the base dragon, evolve it for a twin Ghostly.
Just be sure you do this in the Vale. The bug extends to the Rift. You can evolve a traited base dragon in the Rift, but the Ghostly dragon will lose its trait, and it could cause your game to crash when you click on the dragon, since trait-less dragons cannot reside in the Rift. This has happened to several players already. So if you want to evolve a traited or traited-twin dragon, move it to the Vale.
This bug has been reported.
Happy Evolving!
This is an amazing tip! My alt has been able to “evolve” many of the ghostly dragons and twin versions too. Thanks for the warning about the Rift bug. It would have been so cool if they kept the trait!

jrmur24, I have Vampir in the co-op, and so does MinyaZ. I’ve added you in the game. My Friend ID is adlerist#5274.
I may switch Vampir out with the new dragon that’s released tomorrow. G’luck with Vampy!

Just updated my blog post, and interestingly, removing the water element made Dortal harder/take longer to clone.
But eliminating water still minimises the number of fails. So for each breeding attempt, there’s less dragons that could be a potential outcome. My post states that no water element will 'reduce the number of breeding fails'. This is true.
To be clear, players did not ask for the removal of the water element to make Dortal easier to breed or clone. The request was based on the fact that Dortal is a rare dragon and water was a hidden element. There’s two huge problems with this:
1. If rare dragons are regularly given hidden elements, it further complicates the already complicated breeding rules. There’s no way players will know a hidden element is present. They will obviously assume the elements on the profile card are the only elements involved.
2. The addition of the water element essentially meant Dortal was a five-element rare dragon. Players have been very vocal about their objection to this. It takes away from the specialness of Quintessence’s five elements. So adding water to Dortal’s profile card wasn’t an option. The only solution was to remove it.
I don't disagree with any of think you said. I just thought it was interesting that removing the water element, and decreasing the number of different fails, actually meant that the average fail time was longer. Or to put it another way, adding the 5th element of water back into the cloning combination, and increasing the number of different fails, would result in a shorter average fail time, and make it quicker to clone. (Or cost less gems). On average.

adlerist just got it second try with my trusty Elder Air. Thank you so much for the add!
18:45 seemed like an odd incubation time for Vampir. I googled it. Varney the vampire first appeared in the penny dreadful publications in 1845. Coincidence?

A player on the DragonVale subreddit mentioned this a couple days ago. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. 🦇

Whitbee was casting spells by the Darken Dunes when one went sideways and uncovered the portal to an upside down, inside out, backwards reflecting dimension. At first, Whitbee was unsure if he should reverse his spell to hide the portal. But curiosity overwhelmed him, and he cautiously entered. He was immediately greeted by BROOD with such an angered and lamenting force, he fell back. Brood had been standing by the portal entry for well over a century, longing to pass through. But there was always something beyond him, underneath and on the other side; something upside down and batty that beckoned him back and denied him the ability to cross over.
Brood is in the co-op with all the baby broods. Koala brooding to all!

If anyone evolved a traited hybrid or traited rare dragon into a Ghostly while in the Rift, and selecting the newly evolved Ghostly dragon causes your game to crash, please contact support so they can resolve the issue.
The untraited Ghostly dragons in the Rift do not earn Etherium. Their profile card states they earn 1 Etherium per hour (regardless of the dragon’s level), but they actually produce zilch.
I’m sure Forum members will discover this soon. So here’s a heads up to prevent crashes. There’s a bug with the newly added Ghostly dragons.

• Nightmare has been added to the Upside Down tier of the event market (4800 Candy) - thanks to the FB DragonVale Group for the suggestion!

adlerist I'm sorry If this is off topic, but is it safe to say by now that the mystery egg bug is never getting fixed?
I'd like to know for my planning during this Event/currency management. Breeding through 5k is o.k. when the egg costs ~30k, but not ~12k.
The bug with the mystery eggs only occurred when players were at the cap for a type of egg (regular, rare, epic, gem). They were immediately taken to the new mystery egg cap, instead of gradually reaching the limit through purchases. Deca is looking into a fix. Unfortunately, I don’t know how long it will take or what the outcome will be.

Okay, thank you. I think I'll stick to 2,5k since I can try for the melody dragons another time and only /need/ rifted wilderness now.
*wendigo, I'm not sure why I dubbed it wilderness 😭. Macabre x Bone. That one
If I am able to breed a Terracotta, or not and it expires, I'll be working on my Wendigo right along with you. I'm not going to attempt to try for this week's pair and don't see getting a Wrath in the rift any time soon.
