Dragonvale: Strategies/Tips (NOT an add me thread)

[Noob382]

My 48 hour turned out to be a rainbow which isn't a bad thing as it can join my army that I use to help bear (or bare?) the costs of food. Still after that elusive moon (grinds teeth!!). I think I shall turn my attention to plasma/current now as butterfly took me almost 2 whole weeks and by then emerald was already out so I never had a chance to breed it. Does anyone have any good combinations apart from lightning/rust? (using this cos of the high paying rust/magnetic fails).

Water + Scorch worked for Current

Lighting + Ice or Iceberg for my two Plasmas

Magnetic/Water got me at least 2 of my Currents- good fail values there, too.

Lightning/Swamp = my one Plasma

Thanks for all the helpful Emerald tips, guys! Workin my 2 Crystals to the bone, - switchin the order and pairing every chance I get. Sped up the 14 with 2 gems, (thanks to gifts from friends)... 5 hr wait... oh well not too bad.

If next month is Pearl, we prolly won't have to use Crystals.. hope to give em a rest, like hibernation retirement! Whadya think.....Pearl from Water types?

Whoop whoop.....way to go Yashy!... awesome news, happy for ya
Hehe, come back and visit now....Esmeralda is now all grown up, happily flying around her gorgeous gem Island admiring all the finery on display

Congrats on your Emerald & hoping this 48 hr egg is a Moon!

@Girlpower, congrats on your second Sun!

Thanks Aly ......
Really wish I could offer a perfect solution to you, Foxy and those still trying for your first Emerald......you just gotta get your Emerald, you just do!

I will go back and have a read through wiki just to see if there's anything that may help....maybe a certain level or anything really, don't know what else I can do to help.....except sneak you both an early little red present tomorrow.,.shh, don't tell those next on my list

I still have a bit of a gut feeling that successes will really start to flow within the last few days....if only we knew for sure when the cut off date is? Logically one would think it would be before they release the pearl to keep it at one per month but if this is the case I still think it REALLY stinks that they didn't release Emerald at the beginning of May....(My opinion has not changed on this even though I now have my Emerald) I'm sure they delight in seeing players squirm (no doubt secretly hoping they will end up caving in and buying it) hmm...and yes, it's already happened with some.....eek

Okay.....I will bite.......so are you gonna share what day your birthday is with the rest of us then?

I think they should gift you one on the big day and if begging gets the job done, hey swallow your pride and lower your frame towards the floor
This means Aly should also be gifted hers too
Hmm, actually.....I think the rest of us should get our birthday dragons gifted to us too, how cool would that be plus that's one month we dont need to concern about gem dragons! I've still got 4 mths to wait....c'mon Sapphire!

They could let emerald continue till mid June, at least I hope they would. I doubt they'll make them easy to breed.

I was actually trying to get a sun or moon.... but never did with this combo.

I used both lvl 10 FIRE/STORM.
Got two back to back Blueys....5th & 6th tries....sending good luck vibes to ya

EDIT UPDATE
Eek, I just re read crirstles post above and this same combo has resulted in a 48 hr timer.....
Leave the decision up to you on this one LOL

Hi all...
Congrats to all those having good luck and for those of you that aren't, I suffer with you...still only one butterfly and zero luck on current, plasma or emerald. My daughter on the other hand got her emerald and just got her first blue fire yesterday with lvl 10 fire + lvl 10 steel in regular cave! Still got more pages to read...and back to the grind...good luck everyone!

Luminous crystal, can be bought for 50,000 DV cash.

Nerdy, quoting myself here, but I totally missed the gemstone flag too.
