I was able to breed Mylio today. I own every dragon except for the ghostlies but my dragonarium isn't breathing fire. Anyone else ?
Last week, Deca accidentally added the Ghostlies to the Elemental categories in the Dragonarium. As a result, the Elemental categories are showing as incomplete if you don’t collect Ghostly dragons.
A couple days later, the FB Game Rep reported the Dragonarium’s red fire will no longer display if you have all the dragons, except Ghostlies. This could be a result of the Ghostlies’ recent addition to the Elementals. However, when I spoke with the FB Game Rep today, she said she didn’t think this was the reason for no red fire.
I have all the dragons and the Ghostlies, and my Dragonarium is breathing red fire and ghosts. So, I don’t know why this is only affecting players who have all dragons except Ghostlies. I’ll messaged the FB DV Rep for more clarity and let you know way she says.
Edit: crumble608, I heard back, and the missing red fire is definitely due to the Ghostly dragons being added to the Elemental categories. I thought the FB Game Rep was saying otherwise, but I misunderstood. Deca was made aware of this issue last week. Since it wasn’t fixed, we may have to wait until their Community Manager has returned from holiday next week, and he can notify the DV team again.

I came here to ask about this. One of my parks has the same problem as crumble‘s park. all the dragons but missing 3 ghostly dragons. I didn’t notice they were in the element section. That makes sense there is no fire if they’re part of the elements. good to know DECA is working on fixing this.

Just wondering ... are ghostly dragons breedable now? They don’t say unavailable and there is no hourglass so have they been made permanent? Maybe we should be sharing them in the coop for those that are missing them?

Ghostly dragons have always been permanent - although they have always had a green hourglass in the dragonarium. You can co-op breed any of the hybrid ghostlies using one as a parent, but you can't breed the base elemental ghostlies this way. You need to evolve a normal Plant, Cold, Earth or Fire when the necessary effigy is in your park. If you want another Ghostly Plant, Cold, Earth or Fire, you will need to breed it with another for it to be a possible result.
Some players made the decision when the ghostly dragons were first released not to breed them as they didn't like them and the Dragonarium would breathe red fire without them.

Just checking in on this. I shared my Ghostly Poison in my CBC to try and get it in another park. Which I did. Then shared my Ghostly Cold in my main park, to breed it with my newly acquired Ghostly Poison. I was trying for any of the other Ghostlies, but have only bred Ghostly Poison.
Is this because, I don't have the Effigies in my 2nd park? So I can only Clone the Ghostly Poison, and can't even get a Ghostly Flower in this way?

The Ghostly dragons don't have the same breeding combos as the regular hybrids - ie Flower is any Fire and Plant. To get a Ghostly Flower you need to breed a Ghostly Plant and a Ghostly Fire together. Check the Encylopaedia Dracontine all the combos are there - Ghostlies are under Limited Rare - might need to change that seeing they are permanent.

The Ghostly dragons don’t have a green hourglass anymore. That’s kinda what started this whole Ghostly debacle. Two weeks ago, the Discord Game Rep said Discord players were talking about the Ghostlies turning limited with a green hourglass (the green hourglass had been there for well over a year, but players thought it was new). Deca removed the hourglass and in the process accidentally put the Ghostlies in the elemental categories.
Obviously, the Ghostlies must be removed from the primary collections, but I think the Ghostlies’ permanent/limited status needs some rethinking.
Either the Ghostlies should have a green hourglass (limited), even though they’re not a true limited, as they’ll never expire from the game like other limiteds,
- OR -
the Ghostlies should have no hourglass (permanent) and their effigies are permanently available in the Market.
The way it is now, permanent Ghostlies with limited effigies, doesn’t make any sense because the primary Ghostlies can only be obtained through their corresponding effigy. Without the effigies, it’s impossible to breed the Ghostly collection. Therefore, the status of the Ghostlies are forever tied to the status of the effigies. They should either all be limited, or all be permanent.
Check the Encylopaedia Dracontine all the combos are there - Ghostlies are under Limited Rare - might need to change that seeing they are permanent.
Before you change the ED to reflect the Ghostlies are permanent, let’s wait and see what Deca decides after I run this past them. They need to make a decision. If they put the effigies in the Market, then change the Ghostlies to permanent. But if they restore the green hourglass, even if the Ghostlies never leave the game, the Ghostlies are still limited due to the limited effigies (it’s impossible to breed Ghostlies without the effigies). So they should remain limited in the ED.

I don't think they should be removed from the primary collections if they are permanents. Putting them in the primary collection makes sense to me. They don't have a special element and they won't be limited, so they should exist under the primary collections, like golden hybrids and rift dragons do. They just need to make the effigies available all year round. If I understand it right, it has been 2 years since the effigies were available to buy? That's super annoying for anyone who started the game since they disappeared.
Unless, of course, Deca plan on continuing with the collection this Halloween Event. That option gets my vote.
So Ghostly Poison in my other Park combined with Ghostly Cold in my mind, should get me a Ghostly Trinket in either park? Eventually, I mean?
Yes, exactly right. Didn't see that outcome.
Quick thank you for sharing your Ghostly Plant dragon, so I could snag a Twin dragon and Pedestal for my park. Didn't take too long with that 5 second breed time. ;-)

After speeding through a few quick fails, I Got a 12:25 with your Evergreen. It’s Gift or Ghostly Gift, and as Gift isn’t available right now, I’m just hoping for a Twin. Will check in, in the morning.

There is a neat little trick since you have been gone to see if you have bred a new dragon after getting the timer but before you send to the nursery. It only works for the first time you bred said new dragon though as the icon you are looking for will be there once bred. It is very helpful when there are so many same timers and you want to speed something up or just wait it out for a fail.
Go to: Social > Invite Friends > Change Icon > Baby OR Adult Dragons > then look for the icon of new dragon. If the picture is there you have the new dragon. 😁 Then you just back out, you don’t have to change the icon.

That’s clever. Does it let you know if you have a twin of that dragon?

No, just if you bred a dragon that was previously unowned.

The Ghostly dragons ABSOLUTELY need to be removed from the Elemental categories. They do not belong there. It was a mistake on Deca’s part, and it’s causing all sorts of problems. Look at the above posts: Dragonariums are not breathing fire, the Elemental category and it’s subcategories are not showing as complete anymore. There are many posts on other DV sites complaining about issues stemming from the Ghostlies being misplaced.
The Ghostlies have their own subsection, 'Ghostly'. They belong in the Ghostly and Spooky subcategories of the Dragonarium.
The Elemental sections are for the permanent dragons: primaries, basic hybrids, and golden hybrids (with three-element Daylily oddly breaking the rule when Deca accidentally made it permanent). Even if Deca allows the effigies to be permanently available, they should not be in the Elemental categories. They’re still considered Special dragons with a special breeding requirement (effigies). They’re not regular or golden hybrids. Also, for the reported Dragonarium issues to be resolved, Ghostlies must be removed from the Elemental sections.
It’s been a year and a half since the effigies were available. With the exception of Ghostly primaries, players can still clone Ghostly dragons, similar to other limited dragons. So it’s not too annoying for those who don’t own the effigies, although they can’t complete the Ghostly collection (Ghostly primaries) without the effigies. Ghostly primaries can be obtained from mystery eggs, but of course that’s hardly a reliable, cost-effective solution.
The effigies may be for sale during the Halloween event. But there are doubts the Ghostly collection will be expanded since they were not well received (to put it mildly) in every DV community — some players’ dislike for the Ghostlies are so strong they refuse to collect them. But who knows, maybe Deca will take on the (ill-advised) dare.
