So the best combinations for the Gold/Bronze are Air + Quake/Crystal? Or Butterfly + Earth/Earth hybrid?

I think that the Olympus dragons are limited. On the subject of your breeding discussion - could someone please explain again why, according to the current rules, there has to be a permanent dragon? I didn't really understand. Sorry :ermm: I'm a little slow sometimes...
The best combination for Olympus would be Sakura+Sonic or Love+Sandstorm or Butterfly+Tree/Moss/Clover.

The reason some people think that 2 of those dragons are permanent is because of the breeding between Limited Epic so and regular epic dragons. When bred together, those 2 would result in either of the 2 dragons when it's the appropriate time of the year for the limited, or the normal Epic at any other time. So what would happen if you could breed 2 limited Epic of a different kind together? The easy answer would be to speculate that they would react the same as during their expectedbreeding time but it's not that simple. They would indeed need to break a rule to be able to do that.

Ahh! Ok. That would be like Bronze Olympus + Silver Olympus = no dragon, if both were expired. Thank you.

Yeah. The rule break is quite plausible though - it's a new element. They did have different rules for the Gemstone Dragons (such as not being able to breed), but it was okay because it's a whole new element. The same thing could be true for the Olympus Dragons, and I'm thinking that it would be more likely that these things are limited. The % of success is really high for a rare. It's like they want to give these things away. like they did with the LYD.

New element, new game - technically they wouldn't be breaking the rules for that particular element, since we haven't seen the element before. Even if the other limited dragons acted a specific way, they were all bred using vanilla elements. Gemstone dragons cannot breed, even with each other, so the "can't breed limited dragon without a pair after expiry" rule does not even display itself for them. Moving forward, it would make sense to drop assumptions about current known rules when a new element is introduced until we have full confirmation.

So, I'm changing my opinion - I believe that the Olympus dragons are going to be limited. It's why I'm scrambling to breed a Gold pair and hoping for one Bronze.

Advance apologies if I'm just not seeing the light of day here, but I'm going to say that I think the Olympus Dragons are going to be limited.

Consider it like this: we know that breeding like with like yields like. LYD x LYD = LYD, and that holds true no matter when you're doing your breeding. Similarly, breeding Plant x Plant is always going to give you Plant.

Now, where we have a limited (LYD, Rainbow element) and a normal (Rainbow, Rainbow element), you can interbreed the two. However, outside of the limited breeding window, such a pair will always result in the normal dragon (Rainbow).

But Olympus Dragons are their own element. There are no other normal dragons that they can breed with. The element is, essentially, closed. Leaving aside the fact (for the moment) that there are three varieties of Olympus Dragon, we are looking at a straight elemental breeding. Plant x Plant = Plant, and Olympus x Olympus = Olympus (with some minor variation in the subtype received).

I do think we could be looking at a rule change specific to Olympus Dragons, much like the rule that Gemstone Dragons cannot breed at all. Because all Olympus Dragons are the same element, and they are all (theoretically) limited, they may be able to continue breeding past the limited breeding window. In this case, the window would only be in effect for using the Air/Lightning/Earth elements to achieve entry to the Olympus element. (Possibly the window would also affect the breeding of the subtypes. Right now, we know that breeding different subtypes will usually, but not always, give you the lower subtype. Perhaps they might eliminate the chance of getting the higher subtype, once the window closes. Then you'd have to breed like subtypes within the element to get a like subtype, but any breeding within the element would still give you a like element result. This would match the behaviour observed between LYD and Rainbow.)

@txr13, I think it would be the biggest break in any of the rules if it was changed so that you couldn't breed different Olympus dragons after the expiration date. So I think that if they are indeed limited, then they will follow what they are doing now for breeding within type, but you will not be able to get new dragons from basic elements.

I'm thinking that the dragons will be limited, but perhaps not the habitat. After all, you can still continue to breed the dragons with each other, but where would you put all those babies?

My current medal count is 0 Gold, 2 Silver, and 4 Bronze, with an unknown in the EBI. I... I just want a Gold.

So I believe I have a Gold. What would be the fastest way to get Silver and Bronze?

There is no fast way to get Silver or Bronze. Bronze is the most "common" of the Olympus dragons so you should get that pretty easily, but they are all bred by the same combinations so it's just luck what you get. You don't know what dragon you have until you see the egg.

Can anyone confirm if breeding a silver and gold has a chance at getting gold?

It does have a chance. I think the rate was something like a 4% chance of that resulting in Gold.

Hm, got me a Bronze this time. Three Silvers and a Bronze now. Hoping for a Gold eventually.
