First attempt with Sakura and flower, got 10 hour timer so thought, yay! Not to be, got the dreaded Lava!! Second attempt with plant/Sakura and got a 14 hour timer so probably a tree! I give up...

Patience, My child.

I bought the first I still had to use flower and tree to get my second dragon. I use the Sakura with others it does not work. I finally got a second like I said with flower and tree. My fingers are crossed for you and all who have not gotten one.

I will slink away and hide my face in shame now

Good luck to you Aly, hope you get yours soon and hope you're not as week as me........

LOL, I saw it last night, so was wondering when you were going to fess up.
Considered for a moment whether you either bred or bought...I was swaying on the latter cause I was thinking if you bred it, you would have had posted in CAPITAL letters of excitement

All good Jazbo, you gave it a good go and only you know where your cut off point is....as long as you can justify your decision within.....you don't need to do so to us.....so hold you head up and celebrate your Sakura

I tend to agree with TIMELESS about using your Sakura to get breed a second one.....not saying it won't happen, but knowing BS....wouldn't they think this is what DV players will do, so let's make that even harder to achieve?

Just a suggestion here......why don't you try the lvl 15 flower lvl 10 tree more than just a couple of times.....heck after trying quiet a few other lvls etc it still took me a few goes to get mine even doing back to back with this.....of course I got a tree, lava etc first....up to you of course.

As for DODO, I just keep trying with chrome/earth over and over.....have just tried same levels this time, but another 5 hr.
I am starting to wonder it this combo may just not end up producing the desired effect like it has for others purely because I have been using this same combo consistently.....but then Sandstorm enters my head....say no more.
I have used new chromes now and then but no go so far
I know quiet a few incl Andy (thanks for the info) have been successful with earth/fog combo....I will try for a few more days, then maybe switch to this combo again for a bit.

I also still want a second Steel......

@girlpower , second try on the Flower(15)/Tree(10) was a Lava

On the first try of the 15/10 combo that gave me a Sakura I had just leveled up a Flower from 10 to 15. So I leveled up my other Flower to 15 and got my second SAKURA!! Thank you. Good Luck to everyone else trying.
Now back to trying to get my second Rainbow (a month and half and still trying). Any tricks for a Rainbow?

For my first (and only) Rainbow, I used Mud (level 10) and Blazing (also level 10) at my friend's suggestion. I think I put them in the EBI too...

Aww Dean, that's great news....those lavas are such a let down.
LOL, I was going to reply suggesting you give the combo another few goes...that was before I finished reading your post....so nice to see it helped you as much as me....gotta be very happy with two Sakuras

Hmm, rainbow.....couldn't get a second one till I got my only LY, bred that with my only rainbow.......

I remember my rainbow combo was firefly/swamp or in reverse.....can have a look at ny notes if you want me to?
Good luck with this one

Don't be ashamed...I figure if you are like me, you are saving $$ in the long run since DV takes up time that could be spent socializing with people...
I promise we won't love you any less...

I am in the same boat. Wondering if earth/chrome is not the combo for me...
I guess I got lucky with my second steel as I thought breeding the first with metal was a sure thing. Tried new earths and leveling up...now to try one of my many new chromes

LOL .....love your anti socializing humor comment.....I'll even go as far as to say ‘Apple' have pretty much taken care of my social life (it's almost non existent) thanks to both iPhone & iPad ....think I am turning into an anti social hermit and my most used line with hubby is....‘yeah, I‘ll be there in a minute, I just gotta finish something on my iPad'....he seems to have perfected the ‘art' of eye rolling these days
