Last Call For - LEATHERY DRAGON

[rion]

Trying for a Leathery plus Cotton in my cave, got either yet another Crystal, or maybe a Paper. Don't really need a Paper though. Either way, have about 15.5 hours left on that breed. This competition is a test in patience for me...

..Cotton is the dragon with the same breeding time as a Crystal. Paper is only 12H

Yikes! Now that was embarrassing... Well then, maybe I have some hope! Thanks, vonfirmath! I may decide to speed it up when I wake up tomorrow...

Just bred my second Rainbow/Moon trying for Leathery. My first is my 18th Rainbow, maybe this one will be a Moon. I only have 11 of those.

Edit: Just bred my 3rd Rainbow/Moon. If this keeps up, it could get discouraging really fast.

Crystal has moved to the nursery, looks like the latest fail is Lava/Glacier. Still mulling what I'm going to do when my foolish Sprout strategy runs it's ill-fated course...

You'll probably hit "retry" automatically. Then kick yourself when you go on elehcim's chart.

As I sit in a corner twiddling my thumbs, waiting for my 2 Rainbow/Moon fails to finish, I edited my post to reflect my daily payment of gems.

I am trying to remind myself that it has not even been three full days since Leathery was announced. I have gotten a scorch, storm, arctic, hail, crystal, glacier, and now another glacier/lava. I don't have any of the anniversary dragons, so I've been trying for Paper on the island (with similar, unsuccessful results so far). This is my first Last Call competition and I have to admit I'm very conflicted. I'm competitive and want to win (but then I remind myself what "winning" means), and I really want the anniversary dragons. And each new fail is that much more depressing knowing there is a whole group of people who have been successful (some multiple times!). On the plus side, the extra gems are nice. Sorry for complaining. Hopefully I'll be in the "loser" category soon!

[vonfirmath]

My main park has Leathwry. I'm out! And good chance at a sparkling dragon atrium at the same time. Will set up pay to list when I am at a real computer

[GregDarcy]

Today's pledges complete.

[ceme]

I need a second Leathery. I am breeding for all three anniversary dragons in both spots, using Sakura + Storm and Carnival + Storm. Both spots now have either Rainbow or Sun breeding. So, I'm waiting.

I updated my payment post. Yesterday I sent a gem to ElectronX and amjbrown. Today a gem to Pixie.

Gem sent to kiyoji.

Hey rachels, you can actually try for all three anniversary dragons at one go! If you have a Carnival or a Sakura, you can pair it with a Storm or a Hail to try for Paper, Cotton, and Leathery! Since each dragon has 4 elements, you already run the risk of getting Rainbow or Double Rainbow trying for them separately, so there's no harm trying for them together!

If you don't have a Carnival or a Sakura, but manage to breed any of the anniversary dragons, you can also pair it with another dragon to try for the other anniversary dragons. Between the three of the anniversary dragons, there are only 5 elements: Plant, Fire, Earth, Cold, and Lightning. So:

- If you have Paper (Plant, Fire, Earth, Cold), you'll need to add Lightning to try for Cotton and Leathery.
- If you have Cotton (Plant, Fire, Earth, Lightning), add Cold.
- If you have Leathery (Fire, Earth, Cold, Lightning), add Plant.

I had a similar conflict when it came to joining the Last Call. But then I realised that winning the Last Call is actually really getting a consolation prize; it's a kind of insurance in case you don't manage to breed the dragon in time. You're going to try for the dragon anyway, so why not get some insurance (and some fun) out of it?

I posted the same thing earlier. Although I am sorry you are in the same boat, misery does love company. It is not quite as lonely.

[GregDarcy]

wapatango, I have my second coming.

Received from crumble608, thanks!

And vonfirmath, it was a Cotton! But my Lava + Hail retry got me another Crystal after all. Sigh...

[Deleted]

Crystal, Arctic, Arctic....

Woot! second Arctic!
Booh! second Arctic...

[Skitch]

Time to get serious. I've lowered the volume to create soft music and used the Twilight Tower to dim the lights, Very romantic. Dragon husbandry can be a tricky thing.

In the meantime, my original Lava/Hail pair and the newly dating Mountain/Scorch pair have yielded two Fireflies, a Storm, and what appear to be another Firefly/Scorch and an Arctic.
