Thanks for reminding! I have reached gold status for my Metal shrine and so I left that out. What I missed out is the eighth one, Water shrine! Will rethink of the alternative to Sonic after the Paper.
Any suggestions from friends and experts here?
* 8 elements : plant(P), earth(E), fire(F), cold(C), lightning(L), water(W), air(A), metal(M) * M is already gold * If you have Bloom you can Cover the remaining elements best with Panlong (EFWA) and Bloom (PLC) * If you don't want to use Panlong but Paper (PEFC) this will leave you L, W, A Which you should split up in 3 groups ** L + W (Current or Plasma, both with long breeding time) ** L + A (Sonic) ** W + A (Fog or Rain) Depending on how much dragons from each element you already have the quantities of these groups will differ. * don't look at the shrines to get the amount you already have but for all your dragons are fed to 15 and none of your 15ers sold, better to make a list.
Many thanks for the detailed analysis and advice!
Without the Bloom, I will need to take the remaining options for the 3 outstanding elements of Water, Air and Lightning.

This week has been really insane...My luck is really holding and my wife is very upset with me so I need advice. Since Sunday I have breed a Gold, Silver and today a Rainbow Dragon, insane I know huh? So my wife once she sees my nursery will get mad at me so I need a place to hide, any thoughts? I was thinking either the Hibernation cave or maybe in the Colosseum, can get lost in the crowds lol.
Name the dragons after your wife and kids if you have them. If no kids, wife's middle name or in-laws.

Unfortunately, no changes for me, my game still crashes when I access the friends list on my iPad Maybe my iPad1 needs to be upgraded this Christmas?
After I updated yesterday, I was able to visit friends for the first time in 5 weeks. I visited 4, then the game crashed. I went back and visited 3-4 more, then it crashed. I made it through my list, 3-4 at a time. Now I understand why my cash earnings for the past month have been so much lower than my projections...don't know why it didn't occur to me sooner.
New iPad 3 arrived yesterday, MOTH prepped it for me last night. I'm loading it up today. I'm very eager to see if the list crashes go away, if the painfully slow loading times for HC and breeding venues improve (more lists!), if my entire game begins to move faster - my dragons move as if their arthritic joints are SCREAMING at them.
So, I guess I'll start moving everything to the new iPad. MOTH will be home for lunch in a few hours, he can repair the damage I wreak as my fingers stumble through the transition, lol.
Oh how exciting! I'm sure you will love the new iPad and I'm pretty sure it will take care of your annoying DV problems
I had a really nice surprise today. When my air and quake finished breeding I found a Gold Olympus egg in my hatchery. Didn't even realize I had any Olympus cooking. Must have put them in just before I boarded my plane yesterday
Sped up the egg, and got myself the last outstanding display egg. Yay! All done for now

Gratz on the Gold. I have been trying for a bit on the Olys, and now have, wait for it, three Silver Olys. I was so disappointed. I wish that the Oly times were off by one hour for each medal Oly so I could know what's in the egg versus waiting for a day and a half only to find out that it's another Silver Oly.

I know, right? I dont know off the top of my head how many silver and bronze Olys I had as failures, but it sure bites each time! Hopefully you get your GO soon!

Oh lucky you. Yeah I can't tell you how many bronzes I got before my first gold oly. But I can tell you I have a bunch of crystals and quakes trying for the second oly. Have I mentioned how much I enjoy getting crystals? The 19 hr wait time is totally awesome.

Give her a chest of gems and tell her you love her. I am assuming she is in to it so it beats a dozen roses....
I can't believe I finally have a Panlong in the nursery! Been so panloooooong..
That's actually super huge IMHO!,,, (hah..I luv that I now know what this stands for!), 2 panlongs are the most important dragons to get in 2012. One more and your set for the next 12 years.

IT IS! I've been stocking Earth habitats with papers thinking I dunno when I'll get them.. And finally lucky today. Already looking forward to the 2nd..
Perhaps BF should come up with dragons that are called "extinct" dragons rather than limited then.
There are going to be a lot of disappointed players if they don't bring the limiteds back, most players were not around when the first one (bone) came out and have been waiting for October since they started. Should they change or not release Reindeer, Love, Clover, Leap Year and Sakura too? Paper is a different issue all together since it's based on anniversary gifts, but I could see BF making Paper be a fail option for the 2nd anniversary "Cotton", assuming they stick with "Traditional" gift themes.
The one thing most players don't take into consideration is BF is a business and being a business they need to make decisions that are economically viable to their bottom line. That being said, what makes the best financial decision for BF? Bringing back the original bone dragon, potentially upsetting the small group that started playing those first couple months and were lucky enough to acquire a bone dragon, or bring a modified bone dragon back and risk potentially losing a much larger portion of your customer base, or not bring it back at all and likely really take a financial hit?
Being a business owner the answer is a no brainer to me.
The flip (backflip?) side to that is which is going to make them more money: All the players trying to get a brand new dragon, or just some of the players trying to get a rerelease of a dragon the don't have yet?
I don't think anyone will stop playing if they don't rerelease Bone, Reindeer, etc. But less gems are going to be used in the search for each rerelease because of the players that already have them.
IMHO (hah) there are way more players that don't have it then there are that do. the Big spenders want everything...and BFS doesn't want to lose them. If they really want to make money they will put out double limiteds ie. a bone and then one that needs a bone in he breeding pair say a "ghost"....That would kick A..!!!!

Now that I am thinking about nit a bone / ash = ghost would be pretty cool plus i would have to hurry my opal breeding to get both the others as of now i am content to spend nada!

I'm also thinking two limiteds will be out this Halloween. Ghost would be cool. Especially if I get one before Tommy.

Not sure if congrats or sorry is in order. Maybe we will get a new dragon tomorrow and give you something else to do for awhile.
Just thought I would let everyone know that backflip studios doesn't physically remove any dragon from the game ,they write a certain piece of code into the game itself and when the time is up on each particular limited dragon this removes it from the market. Having said this it is almost certain that the bone dragon will be back as they would have to change the code altogether to NOT have it back at the same time of year. The code that they put in for every rare/limited dragon is (" legacy 1 ") this is what's written behind every rare/limited dragon inside the game code and when it is removed then that dragon is available back in the market again. I know this because I use it to get all dragons and also all rare/limited decorations as well. Hope this gives those wanting the bone dragon to come back a little piece of mind. :-)

I actually believe the flip of your flip side (double backflip?) is true. I don't think anyone who has Bone and is still playing will stop because they rerelease Bone. The players that want to have one of everything may stop playing if they realize they cannot get the dragons they missed, AND these are the types of players most likely to buy gems.
IMHO, I don't think there is any question that Bone will be rereleased. PixieWA reminds us why every time she posts:
"It is possible to breed every dragon with the right combinations and enough patience."
congrats! I'm patiently awaiting bone As I believe that's the only dragon I've missed..
