After I breed second one, it'll be time to start on the hidden one.

Iceberg/air did the job for me.

On wiki they said plant/ metal work for ironwood, but I can't confirm.

I think rain is a straightforward air and water combo in that order, got one incubating and another I think in the breeding island at the moment an easy dragon at last!

Just a problem about where to put it!

Thankyou for your kind words, I am so opposed to hackers and cheaters, I can't see the point and it's nothing to be proud of knowing they got to the top of their game this way. I keep saying my gem hoarding is for a rainy day....only had a few light showers so far LOL, but I also decided I wasn't going to keep on purchasing gems (even though its only been a few) cos that can really creep up you....I am happy to support the devs with a small purchase here and there if I feel the game is worthwhile.....I guess for me, it's always about the challenge in testing my patience (I am actually not a patient person) so this game really does test this on a daily basis and I actually enjoy it when I can just resolve myself with auto pilot mode which requires a bit of head talk to get there.

Anyway, your post was so nicely written and lovely to read.
We will get there with our gem gifting....my list lives with my iPad and looks very dog eared by the time I've marked off one page front and back

Sending you good luck vibes with the seasonal too....phew, now I read there's two more new dragons.....drats, looks like Goldie will have to take another back seat, I can't keep up with all these dragons

Seasonal vibes --> Processing --> Puts Firework/Plant in upgraded EBI ---> 39 hour timer!!

Oh great, 2 new dragons. I don't even have the time to get a second Gold Oly and Seasonal yet. Don't get me wrong, I like the Rain's design too, but the devs really need to slow down now at this point in time. I think we have enough dragons so far

Just checked on the wiki, it's still saying Metal and Plant for Ironwood. And the sandbox is suggesting Chrome/Plant.

I'm going to try your combo for Rain after my breeding cave is done with its Seasonal fail. (fingers crossed)

Good luck everyone~

It seems like a lifetime ago but I've yet to get silver or gold Olympic dragon and there's been so many new dragons recently I can't remember the best combo's. Any help would be gratefully appreciated to save me plowing back through the pages on here. ( which I will do of course!). On the plus side first peridot egg is cooking in nursery, tried for second with same pair but 14 hour fail. Have to say am not looking forward to trying for seasonal or gold with potential long fails.

I got my Olympus dragons with Air/Quake, but you can also use Butterfly/Tree or Sandstorm/Quake. You could use Dragonvale Breeding Sandbox to find pairs to use. I've found it very helpful so far in finding good combinations. Good luck!

My lucky combo was Blazing/Crystal for Olympus. 6 out of 11 tries. 2 gold, 1 silver and 3 bronze.

Also just got my first Seasonal with Plant/Firework on 4th try. Tried Plant/Blazing 23 times with no luck.

Good luck.

Woohoo! First try with fog/mud is a Rain (agree- I do like this one). Had a few fails with Pollen/fog before switching the combo.
Sigh. My latest oly is another brass.... pplllpbbbbb. :P

WHOO HOO.....you're on a roll
LOL, yeah I've also temporarily stopped my Gold quest too GRR!

Good news is.....after trying for rain dragon using fog/mud (both lvl 15) a few times, I decided to use another air (lvl 15) / mud (lvl 10) and got two back to back So, looks like a few are getting this one fairly easily.
Juggling habitats and dragons is getting bothersome though...hiding more and more away
