Yup, Any 2 of the SAME dragon will breed that same dragon.. doesn't matter if the dragon isn't breedable anymore like the bone, reindeer, love and soon to by lyd.. as long as u have 2 ur set!

I became hooked on this last Sept. when my son and husband wouldn't leave the crazy game alone. All I did was help my son and husband better their game, until I realized I should have my own. Love playing it but did boycott it a while back when it was going no-where. My husband accidentally deleted my son's game and he had to start over.

He has been trying for so long to get a rainbow. I stayed up at night to keep trying for him. Then along came a panlong and while trying to breed for a second panlong... he got his rainbow. The boy was ecstatic. Sadly, when he went to hatch the egg, it accidentally was sold instead. My son has autism and this not only crushed him, but it left him crying for hours. I held him bawling and everyone in the family had to not mention the DV word, let alone play it.

I continued playing and saving gems for him. I also wrote the game-makers who said they were terribly sorry but they couldn't reinstate the game (although they did send him a gift which helped lift his spirits). When I found that the LYD came out last night, I was determined to get him one. How else to bring him back to loving the game but to get him a rare 4 year dragon.

I have not been able to breed one, have used all my gems up & have one last try. But after 149 of my son's gems, he has his egg! He was utterly thrilled and jumping off couch screaming this morning. It was so awesome to have my happy litle boy back! I could care less that I don't have one because seeing my son's happiness is so much better. He was so devastated about the loss of his rainbow... he talked about it in his sleep or would cry if someone said dragon.

He thinks so highly of the "magical people" who gift him gems. So KoleKade wants to say thank you to you "magical wizards." (meaning his Game Center friends). If you are one of his friends, thank you for making my son's day. Autism can be difficult at times and other times, there is so much contagious joy that oozes all over when someone with autism is happy. Best Feeling EVER! Thank you again for all your tips that you've shared. They have made the difference in the life of this child. Great game for kids to learn about patience and consequences.

By the way, we used Love/Cold... He flipped out too because he accidentally got a frostfire in one of his fails.

Sent a friend request to KoleKade.....I'd be honored to one of his magical wizards to gift gems

You can not trade I wish. It took mamy times, many times breeding firefly and snow to get 2 rainbows,2 suns and 2 moons. It's all random Good luck

Huge congrats, so happy you got one in time.....for a very small % of us forum posters who certainly didn't have an easy time with this dragon, the pressure can really ramp up the stress can't it.....hope you have a well deserved good nights sleep now, pressures off....

So, here in Sweden midnight passed about 53 minutes ago and the Leap year dragon is still in the game market.

That makes med glad for those of you who haven't been able to breed it yet, but it makes me really mad that BFS makes such a fuss out of a very short period of time and then it's still here after the stated period has ended. They sure did fool me into spending av LOT to get that dragon before it disappeared.

I know, it hasn't passed midnight March 1st everywhere and the world doesn't revolve around Swedish clocks. Anywyas...
I feel a bit empty. What to breed now?!?

I still want my first, bred Frosty. The one I have has been bought with precious gems. I seem totally unable to breed one, no matter what I do.

I wish there was a function in the game, allowing you to give away or at least trade dragons. Maybe some day later on you will be able to buy a trading house? Like put one dragon in slot, look what you're being offered in return in the other slot and either accept or reject the trade.

I think I was getting a bit frantic, panicky and stressed trying for second one yesterday and I actually gave in and bought one lot of gems!! WHAT WAS I THINKING? It's only a game, the dragons aren't real.........are they???

Haha you would sure think so!

THe thing that makes me a little mad they say we have 3 days and make the dragon so expensive to buy and so hard to breed.I could never buy that many Gems at once but I spent 700 gems I had saved getting both. I hope every one was able to get one anyway.

I'd say the LYD dragon is quite easy to breed.. way easier than any other rare dragon. Even if it took the majority of us 10-30 tries, for me and a lot of people that's still way less time it took to get a rainbow, let alone 2 rainbows. Took me months of speeding up breeds and doing firefly/seaweed to finally get my 1st rainbow, then it took 3 weeks to get my 2nd.. I got the LYD on my 2nd day of trying and most of you got it on your 1st or 2nd day of trying.

Backflip was smart though, they knew the demand for the LYD would be huge and people would be scrambling to breed it while it's still there thus buying gems, I can only imagine how many hundred thousand dollars they made the past few days alone.

I'm not complaining though, I luckily didn't have to buy gems to get it.

Sorry for all u who don't have it, don't look at this post as me bashing u for not getting the "easy to get LYD" I'm just comparing it to the other rares that's all.

I hope all of you get it before it's gone, and I hope u get another after u get ur 1st!

When I go to send gems or visit anyone it just says invite people from Facebook and GameCenter to play. I had a whole bunch of friends yesterday. Has anyone else had this happen?
