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!

my birthday isn't till December....

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

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

So irritated! Apparently 14 is my number since that's all I seem to get anymore! It seems like all my fails are 12, 14, and 24 with a 48 and a handful of 6. Is there any point to getting a second of emerald since they can't be bred?

I think we all agree, this is a "challenging" breeding combination due to the 14, 24 and 48 hour fails. I am fortunate to have one Emerald, both kids are still trying for their first Emerald. Because I am having soooo much fun playing other gameZ while waiting through two 48 hour fails (EBI has 30 more hours and Normal Cave has 22 more hours) I will still try for a second to put a level 10 baby on the island as well or may make the 2nd a Pedestal Egg and remember the fun this has been. Was very happy to pedestal my first 48 hour fail (a moon) and should have a sun and maybe a Rainbow or Moon breeding.

Everybody is giving great suggestions. I wish I had more 31 hour luck and less 48 hour!

Very challenging! I am spending time with other gameZ as well. Lol. Which is much more fun since you helped me with the crashing, hasn't done it again! Thank you.

As long as I get one emerald I will be happy. Good luck to anyone trying!

Ugh... Tried a new crystal with a new lichen, leveled them both to 10 and bam! Another 48h fail.... Sick of this game now!

Just tried leveling my second crystal to 15 and stuck it with a level 10 lichen and got another 48hr. Well, maybe this one is a rainbow. I really hope they take this emerald into next month a bit!

Just used a new crystal, leveled her up to 25, bred her with an old lichen (lv 15) and finally got a 31 hour timer.

Feels like forever but it's only been a few days.. I'm sure most people will get it before the month is over..


I haven't really had gems to waste on speeding up fails.. I've pretty much waited out all my fails..Apart from each day I'd use my colosseum gems to speed up whatever I could..but I never had hoards of gems.. Maybe 5 a day max..alot of days I only got 2 gems from the coll.. Think in total it would have been about 16 tries (including EBC and normal breeding cave)

I got about 3 24hr fails. No 48s.

Mainly 6 hour and 14 hour fails.

Probably pointless info but I like to know as much info as possible when I'm trying to breed a dragon so I thought I'd share.

I'd also try mixing it up, using new crystal and lichens, swapping one new for one old, etc. Not sure if it helps but I tried the same crystal and lichen for ages and kept failing..wasn't long after switching that I finally got the lucid emmie.

Can't wait til Junes dragon.. Junes gemstone is pearl..so imagine how pretty the pearl dragon will be.. So far I think the bloom is the cutest dragon but I'm sure the pearl dragon will give it a run for it's money!

I'm also a bit annoyed they didn't launch gemstone island in April.. Diamond dragon would have been god damn gorgeous..I bet they speficially timed it that way, so that the diamond dragon will be the final gemstone dragon, the most awesome and sought after I bet it'll be

Try bumping the lichen to be higher than the Chrystal ...then place lichen first. That's how I finally stopped the 48 hr streak and produced my emerald.

Lichen 15 + Chrystal 10 in the EBI
