Very, very small. Better off just breeding for Olympus dragons. |

(I was the guest post, now a registered member) Thanks for that, I guess I'll just keep trying for that Gold Olympus with one of the standard combos but I'm going to keep it to 3 element ones so I eliminate the Rainbow fails. |

Okay, revisiting this topic since the update. Once they decided to make these dragons permanent, it got a lot harder to get a Gold Olympus, but I did get one just before this update 1.10. Now I've been trying for a second one and I can't even get a Silver Olympus. All I get are the bronze with their fancy new design. So, I am wondering, do you think they changed the rules on Olympus again to make Silver and Gold super hard to get? That may explain why they raised the sell price on the egg? So, if that's true, I really don't want to waste my time sifting through fails to be excited about a 28 hour breeding time (I have upgraded breeding cave and island) that will just be a bronze. I was thinking that I would just breed Gold +Silver Olys until I get a Gold. I know it will take longer, but I have the time right now. My question is do you think the Cave still has the higher percentage chance for the Gold Oly? I remember seeing a post earlier in the thread that said Gold appeared more in the Cave than on the Island. |

No, the post actually said that the EBI boosts the chance of Silver and Bronze Olympus, but did not boost the chance of Gold. That's why it's better to use the NBC instead when going for Gold, so that you don't increase the likelihood of getting the other two dragons. I believe I got both my Gold Olympus Dragons in the NBC, but then again I was using the NBC exclusively for Olympus breeding (I was using the EBI for attempts at the Gold Dragon). I had to go through a LOT of Silver and Bronze failures (more than 10 total) before I saw my first Gold Olympus. (This was quite some time after the Olympics were over.) Fortunately for me, the Olympus following my first Gold was another Gold, so I'm done with them. Aside from being time-inefficient, I think that the chance of Gold in a Gold x Silver breeding is lower than the chance of straight up breeding a Gold Olympus without the epics, but don't quote me on that. I know it's frustrating to sift through so many Silver and Bronze failures, but it's probably better all around. Edited by Sylvandyr, Sep 4 2012, 10:52 PM.

What is the combo everyone is using to breed Olympus dragons? Air + Quake? I got lucky and got a silver when I bred Panlong + Storm but that's probably not the best combo to use over and over due to the high number of failures, right? |

I use butterfly and tree because it also gives me a chance at seasonal which I still need. It also has a lower average fail time than air & quake due to the inclusion of some short fail times. (I don't include rares in my average fail times since they are rare.) Also, I think you made a mistake. You said you used panlong & storm and got silver. However, neither of those dragons has the metal element, and silver requires cold & metal. |

I think the Silver was a Silver Oly. I get confused with all these Golds and Silvers and Olys... |

Yes sorry when I said Silver I meant Silver Olympus. I just started in August so unfortunately I can't get a Butterfly. I hate how some are expired. I would love to be able to collect at least 1 of every dragon

I used Air x Quake for all of my Olympus Dragons. You can add Plant and Fire to the mix to reduce the average breed times, but that involves having some three element dragons (Butterfly, Love, Sakura - all expired limited dragons) and also introduces the chance of Rainbow and Seasonal. You could do Cactus + Panlong to introduce Plant and Fire, but the extra Water element would introduce additional failures like Swamp, Seaweed, Mud, Fog, etc., which, to be fair, aren't too bad as far as failure time goes. It's extra padding against the dreaded Crystal, at any rate. Edited by Sylvandyr, Sep 5 2012, 01:41 PM.

@Societal Jester - I've used Sonic + Lava to get a bunch of my Olys. Just to add another combo for you that you could use since you don't have any limiteds. I rotate my breeding pairs. I'm sure that has no impact on what I'm doing, but it makes me feel better. LOL : ) |

Thanks. As soon as I get this Sapphire I will be going for a Bronze and Gold. |

We've had good success with both Sandstorm and Sonic as a pair and Sonic and Dodo as another pair. We've bred all three Olympus dragons between our family's three DV accounts using one or the other of those pairs. |

I just noticed that myself when I was doing inventory on my egg displays. Yes, I agree much better this way. |
