Found Gardenia easily enough, pushing a cart of roses. Forgot to get a screen shot though

I'm loving this event, it's pretty and the extra breeding cave is a nice bonus!!

Here are some more pictures of the event!

Me winning roses upon hatching a dragon!

And again!

And here are the rewards!

In this order!


The breeding cave didn't seem to be there... But the omnitat is the final prize...
So this is the habitat, named the omnitat!

Two thorn dragons, like this! (I really like the egg!)

They've finally got a new type of path up! That's cool!

The initial prize which is a bench!

Berry white breeding cave itself!

The pedestal, showing off its metal roots (?)

The event base,

Ends in 17 days!

So happy because I have the tenth island pending! Yay!?

[jamesvaler]

Some early pictures for all you keen to know about it!








Looks like a new habitat, dragon and breeding area, the berry white breeding site!

Jamesvaler ?

Thanks for the tip about the cart, Bloodstone. I love it that she laughs when you find her. This is my first February event - what fun....

[Deleted]

Thought she would blend well with the surrounding because of her outfits and stuffs, but since she is pushing a cart of roses finding her should be easy.
Can't find her just yet.

Breeding Aurora and Aurora in the Berrywhite Breeding Cave = 54 hrs, 20% discount in breeding time does not apply.

BBC is strictly for this event since it is not listed as one of the rewards.

Looks like no special island theme either.

I had trouble finding her, but i did eventually. She's just to the right of the dream habitat and looking a little blurry.

[moominjules]

Thanks for the screen shot! I've been going a little cross eyed looking for her! *should* be easier now I know what I'm looking for!

[KCfireangel]

So the Berrywhite Breeding Cave is the same as the original non-upgraded breeding cave ie: full breeding times and no increased chances of rare dragons.

Considering the above and the fact that it may be our only chance to breed previously incompatible dragons (unless they add that ability to the regular cave and/or island after the event - which I think is quite likely - but just in case I am mistaken) what should we be taking the opportunity to breed?

Any suggestions?

I wonder if this event is going to be shorter? The list of rewards seems low.

I found her on a path, but the teal color of her hat and outfit might still stand out against green decently well.

With her being worth 20 roses, I think she's probably only going to appear once a day. Maybe twice, but I kinda doubt that.

Regardless, that would cut down on people stressing out over not being able to find her quickly since you have 24 hours to find her once, as ooposed to Sadndakloz who you had to find 6 times, at least two hours apart, over the same 24 hour period.

Probably, but... you will note that it has the little heart boundary marker around it's base like a proper, peaceable breeding cave/habitat. Those are out of the ordinary for a fixed decoration on an event island. They aren't really necessary if there's no plan to ever make it placeable

We also always get a reward decoration at the end of the event, though this time that may have something to do with the tree itself given the language of the event.

Not irrefutable evidence by any means, but worth considering.

Bloodstone, have you figured out what we get for receiving gifts?

"The event ends on February 22nd" per in game info

Odd wording. Normally they would say "through February 22nd"

2/22 is a Sunday.

Based on past events, I assume it will really end on Monday the 23rd around 1030 MST.

But I could be wrong...

Thank you for that, I'd spent 10 minutes looking, and found her shortly after that when I knew what to look for.

First reward collected. Koala to all.

Berrywhite Bench, 2x2 decoration, buy another for $10k

Alas, this unit has yet to receive any gems or treats since the event went live...

(and I totally forgot to list that above...fixing that post now... )
