Oh well.. Just smile and nod and buy the EPC upgrade ! Weird but cool. Was about to buy more gems for the EBC upgrade glad I didn't!


Pearl dragon is a joke. I thought these gemstone dragons were actually going to be rare. No longer having the desperate urge to check DV when there's no challenge and everyone already has about 5 pearl dragons.
Just bred my 6th today and it's only been a week since release LAME!

Good god!! Stop hogging all the luck, man! Sounds like you've got some kinda magnetic glitch that sucks Pearls and gems in. Or you're living somewhere in the Bermuda Triangle?

Thanks Jaz! Gonna try those combos when I get a chance.

EDIT:
Oh yay! Got the chance but got your combos mixed up - lol. Firefly15/Brass12 = 20 hr. At first I guessed Forge, but it's Copper, right? Funny, cuz there's no water in it.
EDIT EDIT: oh nevermind - see now that Copper doesn't need water.

Still no pearl, I'm hoarding all the seaweed and snow I get! Hope fresh ones will work. Seems like the only fail time for this combo is 8 hrs, at least I can't think if I have gotten a smaller one. Good luck everyone still trying! This is going to be a long year if they keep these gemstone dragons so hard to get!

I think the shortest fail I got with Snow/Seaweed was 5 hr. (Seaweed). Lichen is shorter too - 6. But yeah, mostly 8's. Seems like I had a 9 or 14- but I'm a little fuzzy headed (sleepy not drunk ) so can't think what those might have been.

Yeah 8 hour seems to be the most common. Had a few 5, 6 and 9. Just got my first 30h timer in the EBC. Snow (11) / Seaweed (11). Names didn't make a difference this time, my original pair (Khione and Oceanus) were victorious!

[Deeneez]

Gave myself a scare this morning.... I couldn't find my level 15 Forge I started to believe I accidently deleted it, but low and behold it was sitting in the collusem LOL

Getting that second forge has been harder than I thought ... But I'm not sweating it. I got a second Pearl, so life is good.

Oh! Do not despair you patient padawanbreeders.
It IS possible to get a second pearl! (and a first of course).

It takes mastering a high level proficiency in waiting, hair tugging and pure boredome.

I got my first pearl with Seaweed lvl 15/ Snow lvl 13 on EBI after less than a day.
After that an enormous number of fails, (no 48 h though and I'm grateful for that), also giving me new pairs to breed, but finally, a week later, my lvl 15 Seaweed sired another pearl with a new Lvl 10 Snow in what now is called the Epic breeding sanctuary. aka EBI enhanced. A 24h timer, should be apearl, shouldn't it?

So far so good. I'll keep breeding pearl combinations in June, but I really am happy as it is with one on the gemstone island and one on display. I kind of feel like a spoiled brat, wanting more.

Now I need a Copper to display, the Forge is almost ready. And when there's nothing else to do I can always busy myself with breeding the other dragons to display.

I'm kind of happy I didn't fall for the first urge to upgrade the breeding facilities at once. And I do feel sorry for those who did spend that huge amount of gems since they discounted it greatly now.

Sending lots of breeding luck for pearl for those of you who haven't got it yet.

Hoping this will be my pearl....yay
Looks like lvl 11 dragons has been popular lately
Been using this pair of 11's sine June 1, reversed the order a few times along the way.....

Got mine with seaweed/snow (in that order)

Think I will just stick with this pair for the rest of June and now have a break in the other cave by trying for a copper and forge or two

So pleased BS lowered the gem value of the breeding cave upgrades, at least its more realistic now, I would never have been able to upgrade my EBC with the ridiculous asking price.....it's pretty bad that they were so greedy to start with but I guess it's always about choice...no ones forced to do it.

My grateful thanks goes to my gem gifting buddies, without your generosity my upgrades wouldn't have been possible

Congrats to those who recently got their pearls too....Foxy, Andy both have yours cooking too (so pleased you got one before you go away Andy, I was really relieved to see that)

@ Eugekava...thanks for the reply on your levels...haha, didn't get to try them

To those still trying....sending you best wishes for a pearl real soon.

Congrats on your pearl GP! Good things come to those who wait! My favourite band here in the UK is Take That, and they sing a song called 'Patience'. I think it's become my anthem! I am learning well finally......

I treated myself to the cave upgrades too, I couldn't resist after I saw yours, they look so pretty

Can relax and get back to the Tribez now!!

You guys and gals are so lucky!! I'm still waiting on my Pearl dragon with two caves filled with Seaweed/Snow or vice versa! I hope I can get mine soon, I'm already tempted to use up my gems in order to speed up the fails...
