I can't wait to see what it will be....I think I will hyperventilate if it's a rainbow....I WANT ONE TOO I see you already have a moon, so let's hope for sun or rainbow
All we know for sure is it WILL be a moon, sun or rainbow....now the loooong wait....in the meantime (if you have the EBC) you could still try for your Panlong.......or that Sandstorm.....already mentioned this but again....MaLiesa made a point of saying the two levels (10/4) and I followed her advice to a the letter as well as using a brand new muddie just to maybe boost my luck.......she didn't say they had to be old or new.

I will be forever thankful to her posting this and my little MaLiesa is doing well, made sure I fed her straight away cause she is very special.....unlike Thorn!!!!
Won't ever sell this one, even if another Sandstorm comes along....haha, now that ‘Thorn' could be replaced though....see what DV can reduce us to

PS see what a mini rant can do.....had worked its magic AGAIN!

Gotta love the mini rant! Or even the full blown all out rant. Worked for me in the past, and in another BFS game - Ragdoll Blaster 2.
Yeah I'm not even minding the long Rare wait - especially since I've only done it once before. At this writing- now down to 33.5 hrs. This one happens to be in the non EBI cave.
As for EBI, I'm waiting a little longer then gemming out a Lava 11/Fog 4 combo to make room for Air 10/Mud 4. I keep giving lava/fog a try since my daughter got her 2 Pans this way. This latest effort looks like another Mud. Boy I've really got a level 4 Mud stockpile now.

WHOO HOO, just got another 36 hr timer....should be my second Panlong
Been trying for this in one cave and Frosty in the other.

Well still trying for That Frosty...turning out to be very challenging....but soo happy to get another Pan. I had tried blazing / mud as it worked first time...then every other combo that had worked for others...then back to blazing / mud.... then I just decided to go back to what worked the first time and bingo.

So it was lvl 4 blazing / mud lvl 10 AGAIN!.
Now it's just that Frosty....and a second Rainbow.

QUESTION: Has anyone bred a second bone dragon using the one you have plus a hybrid at all since it BFS took it away? I would love a second one, couldn't even breed my first and ended up using hoarded gems to buy it before it was too late.
May have to search dragon wiki posts, but just thought I would ask you all first

@ Alyjens....hey congrats on your second sandstorm and another 48 hrs huh....you are also on a roll my friend...I did notice you were breeding an air/mud combo when visiting recently, but the muddie looked bigger than a lvl 4 size...looked like your smaller muddie was with a blazing in the EBC at the time... Was interesting to read on wiki - Sandstorm, that this combo lvl had also been noted as a successful option too

Haha, I just realized these are the same lvls that have also netted me two pans, but with blazing / mud of course...hmm that's interesting

This has been a good weekend! Now just need Frosty

Grats Aly!! Snow/Fire- musta been trying for Frosty. A nice weekend indeed.


Hey I just looked at my hibernation cave, it seems that the dragons are losing money while staying in there. Is that how it works?! I thought while they were in there they'd be not earning .. but negative red means it's costing to keep them in there. Correct?

And grats to girlpower! #2 Panlong! That's great!!

Well, I was using my bine dragon in attempts for my Panlongs and kept getting lava dragons. The only way I got my third was to level my lv. 3 to lv. 6 and breed it with my lv. 10 so I guess you will have to wait for next halloween or the dragon trading post.

Congrats on you 2nd Panlong! Come join the club! Lol jokes, there's not actually a club. (didn't mean to get your hopes up! )

And perhaps we've found the magic numbers? Something to test!

Ok, so I have an idea for a DV challenge;

First, put all your valuable dragons onto storage. Next, sell all other dragons. Buy one of all the base types of dragons ie. Plant, Fire, Earth, Cold, Lightning, Water, but not Air. (Have to breed it) And have them all level 1. Start with 100,000 Food and however much money you have. Now the fun can begin!

See how fast you are able to breed every single available dragon!

Feel free to take up the........ hang on, it needs an awesome name........ I know! The Insanity Challenge! So, feel free to take up the Insanity Challenge! If you dare! Post progress if you feel like it, and if you're on multiple forums like this, spread the challenge! Good luck if you try! You will need it! Hehe

Regarding the hibernation cave.....I do recall reading in the last update that while the dragons are in there they will not earn any coins, so you are correct.
I have checked all mine and they are in the black (neutral).
So I went and checked where yours was, cause I had an idea....and I saw that's yours was on an Island that also had boosts.
Mine is not around any, so I am guessing that's why your dragons are showing negative.
It probably just means that they would earn negative if you took them out and put them in habitats on that same Island? You could test that out by moving your hibernation cave to a boost free Island OR temporarily move your boosts just to see

Darn, okay thanks Herp...it was a long shot....oh well hopefully next time round I will be able to breed one of my own.

Haha, yeah the Panlong club....good of you to remind me that theres not actually such a thing....just in case I were to believe you or something...aka wolf boy

THANK YOU! >slaps forehead< That makes sense! I'll go move it to a neutral island. I just liked the feng shui thing I had goin there. Ha. Have to do a little redecorating. And thanks, girlie, for visiting and helping me out with that!

Btw, I got so excited about your Pan success that I forgot I was going to try Air 10/Mud 4 on EBI next. Doh! Stuck in another 8 hr Blaze breeding (Blaze4/Mud10). Oh well .. Really happy to hear all the recent successes, great encouraging news!
