I'm stoked that I got a rifted Cansian today, but I checked the breeding combo for Ariesian and... SOLAR FLARE??? Yeah I'm not getting that any time soon 😭
I'm the opposite. I have two (or three?) fire-trait Solarflares, one of which at level 20, and due to this I immediately started trying for a rifted Ariesian once the event started. Too bad solarflare contributes all elements, so that's going to decrease my chances.
One of my parks also needs a traited Ariesian. Frustratingly, I managed to breed an untraited one during Dragons Week. Hopefully, we can both breed one before the limited dragon arrives next week.

So, how do we get a rifted Solarflare if it can only be bred in the co-op cave??

The only way to get a traited Galaxy dragon is via the Galaxy Egg of Mystery in the Rift. It is a 'bit' of a gamble.

The first time I was able to purchase a Galaxy egg of mystery, I said: "sure, I'll get one for the Rift dragon." Unbeknownst to me, it ended up being a Solarflare dragon with the Dark Trait.
That Solarflare Dragon remained my only traited Galaxy Dragon for a long time-over a year perhaps-which was both awesome being such a rare galaxy dragon and frustrating considering it gave every element when breeding.

PSA: Information about Time Skip Tokens and adverts
The ads to speed up breeding and incubation for 30 minutes and 15 minutes are still in the game. There’s a new interface, so the video arrow indicating an ad is available has been removed from the eggs and breeding caves. As a result, it may look like they cannot be sped up by watching an advert.
To speed up an incubation, open Gaia’s nest. The eggs will show, but the arrow is missing. Click on the egg you would like to speed up (Snootroot egg).
The Speed Up interface will show. There are now three ways to speed up the incubation. The first option is to use a Time Skip Token. The second option (with the video arrow) is by watching an ad. The third option is for gems.
To speed up a breed at the Cooperative Breeding Cave, tap the cave, and then the breeding timer.
Select your method to speed up the breed
Will the Time Skip Tokens expire after the event concludes?
Initially, when Deca first informed us about the tokens, we were told they would expire with the event. Since this critical information is missing from the token’s in-game description, event FAQ, and official announcements, it appears they won’t expire. I asked Deca today, and they were not able to confirm. Until Deca lets us know if the tokens will disappear with the event, it would be advisable to wait before buying them. Players should have all the details about a new feature before purchasing it.
It was noted on the subreddit that the option to watch an ad to speed up 30 minutes of time (5hrs left to 2.5hrs left) was removed. I think the ad to reduce the waiting time by 15 mintues (which appears under 2.5hrs left) is still there. Is this a bug/decision based on the time skip tokens?
I would personally like it if the ad option could be put back (regardless of whether it was a bug or a decision).
One question I have, that I don't think was answered on vibelily's post or the page they linked to, is whether the time skip tokens will stay after the event. I assume they will do but wanted to make sure as if they will I might buy quite a few, but if they're just a one off thing I might only buy a couple as I need them.

Yeah, one galaxy egg costs almost 90 000 for me now 😢
Wow! There goes all my E!
The Galaxy Egg of Mystery is capped at 562,500 Etherium. So there’s quite a way to go before inflation stops.
Galaxy eggs are too expensive and the cap is way too high. They desperately need to be reevaluated.

So I was speeding up breeding for Scorp and noticed that all breeds over 5 hours no longer have the warning about spending gems.
It’s been reported that the message was removed from speeding up incubation breeds. @metaphoricalrobin posted about this on Bugs and Glitches.
I just tested this in my game. When I click on the breeding timer at the co-op, the Speed Up pop-up shows. If I select to spend gems, it speeds up the breed with gems. There were 5 hours and 11 minutes left in the breed. Same with incubation. Maybe the warning was removed with the new Speed Up interface because the interface itself is supposed to be the warning. I’ll ask Deca if it’s intentional or not.

I completely agree! I just blew through over 400k etherium & STILL didn’t get a Solarflare. It took a long time to save up that much. I am not very happy right now.

I will get over it, eventually.
Solarflare will likely be one of the dragons to select from the final daily reward prize. It was last year. So if you have a twin, you could claim a traited-twin. But of course, that is totally unhelpful if you need to breed Ariesian.

Here is Scorpionian with his best friend Construct
Scorpionian also has a ghost form that leaves his body 😳
And to top it off, he retracts into his tail like next level turtle!
Scorpionian is easily my favourite of the three new Zodiac dragons. He is currently in the co-op. If you’d like to try and clone him, and we’re not already friends, by Friend ID is adlerist#5274. Let me know if you add me, and I’ll add you back. Lucky scorpion to all! 🦂

Even after the changes made to the Time Skip Tokens, I feel like they are still very underwhelming due to the limit of one token per timer. The skip value of 30 minutes is a pretty good choice (making two tokens = 1 gem), though I kinda want them be further increased to an hour per token to make their time-skipping properties equal with gems.
The limit on breeding timers is something I just dislike. For most breeding timers, a single token (30m) is not enough for there to be a huge difference, and as a result it deters players, including myself, from purchasing them using EC. I was hoping from the start that there would be no limit on how many tokens you could use to speed up breeding, so I could use my spare EC on a useful item. If there was no limit on the amount of tokens able to be used on timers, DECA would-for sure-see a drastic increase in EC being spent towards tokens.
Another idea would be to decrease the breeding time by a set percent rather than a set time, as it would make them much more useful for long timers. For example, tokens will decrease a timer by 20% (as if you bred in an upgraded cave), though can only be used once per timer.
Either way, the time-skip tokens might have improved a tad since the original release, though currently they are still not worth spending the EC.

For me personally, I see them as an extra way to speed up a little amount of time, and that that's better than no extra way to speed up time. At the moment their use is very situational - say, if the timer was 10 hours 29 minutes and you only had 10 gems, you could use a token to be able to afford the speed up - but it's still something even if it's not game-changing. If they stay after the event, they'll be a pretty useful way of spending spare EC, especially for people who have enough DC already so don't need to spend their spare EC on the best EC-DC exchanges.
With that said, I certainly wouldn't mind if they were a little bit more useful. I personally don't mind them not being as useful as gems, especially since they're pretty cheap EC-wise, but I think it would be cool if you could at least use enough tokens to speed up an hour off a waiting time.

I really like the look of Scorpionian (although he could do with having a shorter name 😂 ) Retracting into his shell is fabulous and I love how his crown remains. He is a little like a hermit crab. 😊

Scorpionian and Capricornian both have excruciatingly long names. I would have enjoyed them to be called "Scorpian" and "Caprian" instead.
I just hope the Sagittarius Dragon isn't named "Sagitarriusian".
(I think it might be "Sagittarian", which is also long, but not quite as long).
I don’t know if anyone has posted about the weirdness time skip token implementation has on the Fountain of Youth - it no longer has a completed icon, the timer just disappears and you select it then “speed up” to finish. I left my Dapplethorn in there for like a day because I didn’t realise it was done!

I was also about to ask about this. It's not a massive issue but it does mean it's not obvious when it's finished.
I believe I found the quest for Capricornian. It's called Headstrong and lists The Zodiac and earth elements. I would have took a screenshot, but I mistakenly chose Taurian without even thinking.
