So the sandbox tells me that I can breed a solar flare in the rift. Can galaxy dragons be bred in the rift? I thought the only place to breed an outcome of a galaxy dragon was the Co-op breeding cave.
I’m working on pedestals, could one of my friends put a vibe in the co-op? Works for two of the pedestals I need, vibe and solar flare.
Most rift galaxy dragons don't have true breeding rules, the only way to breed them is to clone them from the social cave. Solarflare is one of those dragons. The Rigel dragon is the only rift galaxy dragon that can be bred in the rift, it requires a rift cave and owning all other galaxy dragons first and then using two galaxy dragons. And Rigel can't be cloned in any way, in any cave. The only way to get other galaxy dragons in the rift is through mystery eggs/rewards. That gets you the twin version, I don't think you can get a non twin rift version today.
You can breed Galaxy dragons in the rift together, but they'll only produce the occasional Rigel dragon if you meet the requirements and no other galaxy dragons, only other dragons that contain their elements.
Hi All, It’s Elf The Lurker. ☺️ RL is going pretty well today. And DV life surprised me just now. In the rift I just bred my first Shockproof immediately followed by my first Bouldershock! I got another one two tries later. I used Thunderbird and Tempest, each level 11, for all four tries. Cool, huh?
Thank you Lurker! I have been trying for a week. I tried your combo and got two bouldershock right off the bat.
I feel it would be helpful for me to choose a new avatar. Dear adlerist , you have excellent taste in draggies! And I would like you to have Sumi to yourself. Would someone send me an idea for a new sweet one? Thanks!

Quil, would you mind clarifying the breeding rule for Solarflare? The way I understand what you have written is that the only way to get a Solarflare is to have one as a parent in co-op. When Solarflare was first introduced there were reports on the Wiki that Solarflare had been a successful outcome in co-op using a Galaxy Dragon plus a dragon with the Sun element. Maybe it was a bug when it was first introduced and has since been changed?

Solarflare differs from the other Galaxy dragons because it has the Galaxy and Sun elements. To breed Solarflare in the co-op a Sun element dragon is required (so Vibe will definitely work, lisgie) and a Galaxy dragon.
MinyaZ, the wiki link you posted is slightly incorrect. It’s true, Solarflare can be bred using a Solarflare because it has the Sun element, but wiki is implying this is only way to breed Solarflare, when in fact any Sun element dragon will work with any Galaxy dragon.

You’re very lovely, Elf! Sumi is magnificent enough for all — I can envision a whole forum full of Sumis. I don’t mind sharing the artistic dragon with you at all, but I understand how you feel. I admire Seed and Starwing, but I couldn’t use them as an avatar because I identify those dragons with Arkynos and Amos. If I ever relinquish this Sumi image for a different version, I’ll message you and let you know. And I’ve added you as well. If you want to add back my Friend ID is adlerist#5274.
The good news is all the dragons are absolutely stunning, so any one you pick is a winner!
Solarflare is actually a bit different than that. A sun and galaxy dragon will not produce a Solarflare, it requires a Solarflare + anything to breed one in the social co-op cave. Looking at the data file, there is no hint for the dragon which means that it must be cloned. The cloning chances are set for both 1 and 2 parent cloning, so you only need one.
The breeding hint for Solarflare says: "The breeding pair of dragons must contain the solarflare dragon and any other dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave"

That’s interesting, because my secondary account bred Solarflare in the co-op with Sun + Nova several months ago. And my main account breed Solarflare in the co-op with Dawn + Nogard’s Andromedan on 9 June 2018 (I had to search back in my notes — hah, such a dork!). Back in 2018, there was still no in-game friending system, so I was relying on Nogard for almost all my co-op breeds.
I really don't know what to say on the Solarflare. I have access to all of the historical data for this dragon, and he's changed often through the months. When he first appeared, he had no hint and no breeding chance set at all. As we've seen with our testing, no breeding chance defaults to a certain percentage. When I say no breeding chance, I mean that the chance element was left out of the file completely.
Soon after a hint was added that both parents must have type galaxy. Not long after that, that requirement was removed.
Looking at data from August 23 2019, they still have no hint but a new line was added: Breeding chance: 0. It's remained that way since that time. From everything we know of how the files work, and going off their current in game breeding hint, it should be impossible to breed now without cloning. If it still works, it's probably a bug and I would guess it deals with having no requirements set on the dragon at all.
Could you have bred him in 2018? Certainly, with the above rules, and it makes sense. For the other time, if a few months ago was 6, then that makes sense too. If it was less, then he's probably bugged. It's also possible the rules changed again sometime, if even for a few days - I only spot checked every few months.

Yes, I bred Solarflare on 9 June 2018, but more recently in November 2019. At some point, if I have a chance I may try again in my secondary account with a Sun and Galaxy dragon. I’ve never bred Solarflare with a Solarflare + Galaxy dragon combo, because there are way too many fails. Solarflare holds all 10 elements.
It's also possible the rules changed again sometime, if even for a few days - I only spot checked every few months.
It seems odd and exceedingly unfair if BFS repeatedly changed the breeding rules or combos for a dragon without notice. Maybe it was a mistake by BFS to let all the Sun element dragons in, but it doesn’t appear they’ve corrected it over the years. And since Solarflare has both the Sun and Galaxy elements, it does makes sense that a Sun element dragon and a Galaxy dragon would fulfil the breeding requirements. Perhaps the error is quite simply with the written in-game breeding hint.

It doesn’t look like there will be a Valentine’s Day event, not that I mind. I am looking forward to the first event that Deca gives us, just to see what they do with it.

What I really missed was the twin weekend after BEB. 😔

I just came here to check on this! I guess they changed their mind and aren't going to do Valentines. It could be a while before we see an event like easter in april. It's been so long since we've had a break between events. I almost forgot what it was like to relax and just play the game.☺

I breed solarflare with dusk and a galaxy dragon I can't remember which one. I asked someone on Reddit or Facebook what they used and that's what they told me. All this time I thought a sun dragon and galaxy dragon was the actual breeding combo lol. I'm surprised it's not. I learn something new every day. I was lucky they didn't tell me to use solarflare with all those extra fails but they thought a sun and galaxy dragon was the only way too.

Is there always a twin weekend after beb? We haven't had one in a while. 🙁
The good news on cloning anything, including Solarflare, is that the number of outcomes has no impact on the cloning chances based on all of the tests that we ran. It certainly impacts breeding chances, if there are enough outcomes with high enough percentages to go over 100, but the cloning chances are checked outside of that calculation.
If the hint and data are both wrong, as it appears, then using a solarflare + elder would have so many results that it gives you roughly 1/4 of the base odds, where using sun + nova will give you the full base odds. So if the base chance is 4 percent, using the solarflare as a parent gives you 1 percent, while avoiding it with the sun + nova is a full 4 percent.
On the flip side, adding solarflare as a parent also adds in the cloning chance, which is 1 percent with one parent or 20 percent with two. If you just have the one in the combo, then with the above numbers it is 2 percent with solarflare vs 4 percent without. Still better to not use.
But what if the base breeding chance is 1 percent? Then you're looking at 1.25% with and 1 percent without. Unfortunately I can't tell you what that base is, since it's missing from the data. So it really just depends on the numbers to determine which way is better.

P.S. Added you!
Was just browsing the dragonarium babies....baby spellmason is cute... i just picked my birthstone, didn’t like it at first cos i think opals are glorious, but he’s grown on me over time 😁

Yes! This ^ I’m actually able to have a look around my parks and get to know what the last 10 or so dragons LOOK LIKE! Loving mystic Spellmason 😊 totally enjoying some relax time in the game 😝

Yes! Relaxing...and giving me a chance to try breeding the Ghostlies I’ve been missing this last year or so and doing some ‘redecorating’ of my park.
I’m currently missing 8 Dragons: 4 Ghostlies and 4 Enhanced, which are “Not Available”. I know I can’t breed one by myself but can I breed one with someone who puts one I need in the COOP or must I wait until the next BeB?

Any of the enhanced dragons can be parent cloned in the coop. 😊
