I just got hit with the disappearing island glitch, too.
Luckily the two dragons I managed to breed for that I really wanted were double parent bred. So getting them again won't be too hard. But I do want that 2nd island reactivated.
Yup, the bug got me too! This is going to be quite a problematic event unless DECA figures this out quickly!
Well, at least one of the dragons that I was awarded was a traited Alayzem, which is one of the ones that I wanted.

I've never been sure if dragons can be bred in the Runic Caves even if they're not carrying the green timer in the Dragonarium? Cecilia at the Duckpond
If a dragon is not available (green hourglass) they cannot be bred in the Runic Caves using their combo, but they can be cloned - ie using one as a parent. If you have two the same the breeding odds are better than just using one as a parent.
The exceptions are all Rift exclusive dragons, Galaxy dragons, Solis and Lunis cannot be bred in Runic Caves. If a gemstone/crystalline dragon is available it can be bred in a Runic Cave using its breeding combo.
Thanks for all that information.
I'm trying to breed to fill in any I don't have rifted versions. If I already have two of the same dragons, one of which is a twin, then a third one will be rifted I think?
At the moment I'm breeding in just two Runic Caves and have claimed a rifted dragon from each. If I continue to get new rifted dragons in these same caves, will I be able to claim them from a newly activated cave or do I have to activate a new cave and breed it there?
If I have the answer to that, I think I'll finally understand how the whole system works.
I had already bred 6 target dragons. There were, I think, 15 options. Did the auto-claim Gods shine down on me? Not a chance. I got two normal hybrids. Boo.
I sent a ticket to Deca, so at least I’m in the system. Thankfully I’ve been screenshotting all the good stuff, so hopefully I can move on with breeding and don’t have to redo those 6. stinks the second cave deactivates. I always buy Runestones, but wait until the last week of the event. Hopefully by then they’ll have this sorted.
The last time we had Runics and this-ish happened, it was strongly recommended that we didn’t use the caves until it was resolved. I haven’t read that anywhere this time around. So we think we’re good to essentially start over and keep breeding in them?
The first of Tolzar's three ads completed, but before I could collect them the reward the game crashed and when I relaunched it I could only collect two.

It's taken a few years, but that's OK.

Yes you are correct. If you already have a twin dragon the dragon that you claim from the Runic Caves will be a twin rifted version.
Each activated cave will give you one claim. If you have claimed two dragons already, you have no more claims to make. (I'm pretty sure that you already know this.)
If we are given another rune stone, be sure to activate a different cave than the ones that you have had open. From the new cave you can claim any dragon that you have bred previously. It will show in your Egg history in the runic cave.

Just a quick question- do we know if event currency can be obtained growing crops this event please? I’m about to see if you can earn any at the racetrack also but didn’t want to waste any time trying for different crops!! Page looks fantastic as usual Adlerist! 😊
This morning when I log in to Dragonvale, in the first couple login the event island disappear.
After several login attempt, the event island reappear, but my bonus runic breeding cave is deactivated and the breed I was doing in both cave disappear. I also receive a motley dragon.
I have created ticket to Deca.
The bug hit me a second time and I lost all the dragon I have bred in the runic cave. So disappointed. If there is no solution soon, I don't think I will purchase rune this time.

I wonder if we can take advantage of the bug by breeding dragons with short times, and if the bug occurs, we can score the 100 iceberries again. I didn't notice if the iceberries earned with the additional runic breeding cave were taken away.

No, earning event currency from growing crop is for the “harvest” event, not winter. Generally if there is another way to earn event currency ( RBC, eggy hatchy, bingo cards) the racetrack does not give event currency. Sometimes they forget to turn it off when the next event starts after earning at the racetrack has been in an event. I checked first thing in this event, no currency.
Anyone else disappointed it is not a twin weekend? I would’ve put money that it would be.
Maybe next weekend? I reckon with the buggy RBCs (I know I’m holding off on buying rune stones ) they might be working on that rather than doing something else.

Currently breeding for whatever twins I can possibly get my hands on
Today, one game session, three crashes - one on game start just after the daily reward box appeared and two crashes mid-game with automatic game reboots following all three crashes. After both mid-game crashes I found new player gifts waiting in the Social area that weren’t there before the crash. The game crash-reboot-new player gift arrived phenomenon has occurred often enough long enough to make me think there is a problem in this area of DV. My park does not like to be interrupted with notifications about new player gifts. Is anyone else having this experience?

I have also experienced problems with the game crashing on the daily gift screen, then receiving gifts in my inbox.
It's been happening since the hack that occured on Halloween.

So to be specific, Lambovian can't be bred in a runic cave because it's a galaxy dragon?
Yes, that’s correct. Galaxy dragons can only be bred at the co-op. Lunis and Solis are the exceptions. But since they bend the Galaxy breeding rules, they cause the game to crash when they’re bred at the RBCs. Therefore, they are not available when the RBCs are in the game.

When the Daily Rewards are 3-6 gems (and sometimes 25 gems), it causes the game to crash. This is a bug with the Double Rewards feature that was added over a month ago. The bug was discussed on the Bugs and Glitches thread. If the game instantly crashes, you’ll receive the gem reward in your Gifts, but it’ll be 25 gems, not 3-6 gems. If the game doesn’t insta-crash, you’ll receive the 25 gems minus the 3-6 gems you were supposed to receive.
I reported the bug the day after Double Rewards was introduced because it caused my game to crash. It hasn't been fixed yet. Just enjoy the extra gems. You can save up for the Omegatat!

The last time there was a bug with the RBCs, and the Egg History was wiped, players could breed the dragons again and earn the 100 bonus EC for a unique breed. So, I believe you’re correct, and players can earn some easy Iceberries from primary and hybrid breeds. However, with this bug, the RBCs that were activated by a Runestone (including the tutorial) are inactive, so it wouldn’t be possible in those caves.

During the spring event, there was an RBC glitch, but it was a little different. Everybody who opened the game was affected, and we were midway through the event (closer to the end). It cleared the Egg History and the RBC eggs were auto-claimed. Deca asked players not to use the RBCs while they tried to fix the problem. The issue was that if players bred desirable dragons, when their Egg History was restored, those dragons may not be included. Some players went ahead and used the caves because they needed the EC and couldn’t wait for Deca to fix the bug, plus it was a Double Day.
Deca hasn’t provided any info to the reps about the bug. It started on Thursday when the event began. We asked for an update on Friday, but they were still working on it, so no word. We won’t hear anything until Monday at the earliest.
Taking screenshots is very smart! I believe Deca has our Egg Histories retained, but you never know. Every bug hits differently.

And now for something completely different. Saw these at a local Christmas store. They are expensive now but I am hoping to pick them up on sale after Christmas.
They are really cute. Don't let adlerist know which shop they are in, she may beat you to them! 🤣
Too late, I already nabbed the polar bear decoration. Thanks for the tip, obijuan!

I figure the loss of that cave is about 5k of event cash. Not to mention the event cash I would have had if I spent rl$ on runestones. Which I am scared to do (not just a Scrooge). I expect this to keep happening, so I expect that purchased runestones would disappear as well.
On the funny side, when I logged in this morning, half my friends had ghostly cold in the co-op (including adlerist) because of her post last night.
Oh, sorry about that! Sometimes I forget to re-blue-heart the co-op dragon. I did realise the error and changed it back to Shaper about five hours later. But I have now switched to Grandeur. Shaper and Icecarade were quick. I got them on the first try and used up all the winter luck. Grandeur took over a dozen attempts, including two Snowy Silvers and a Double Rainbow. 🙄🌈🙄

THIS DRAGON CANNOT BE BRED DURING THE EVENT. USE THE BREEDING HINT IF THE DRAGON IS RELEASED DURING DRAGON’S WEEK.
Breeding hint: CHOMP + BLOOM Breeding percentage: breeding hint 3.75%
Is this the first time that rare dragons have had contributed elements that aren't shown?
It’s not the first time. Deca did this a lot a year or two ago. The reps complained about it, and they changed the dragons’ info cards and stopped the practice. Now it’s started up again. It’s been flagged. I imagine they’ll correct it, and hopefully eliminate some of the elements. Five and six elements are a bit excessive for a rare dragon.
