Opal Dragon; Mud + Lava

So on Monday, we will be hitting the halfway point for gemstone dragons! I'm hoping for a pretty awesome dragon, especially excited for what it's egg and design will look like. Any guesses on what the combo will be? Mud seems to be a popular choice in the other thread and I agree completely.

My brother is getting an opal! In my family, it seems like we usually breed them in someone else's account, not our own. My brother bred mine; my mom bred my dad's; I bred my brother's. Apparently my dad needs to learn how to breed dragons so that he can get my mom an opal. :)

Woo hoo! Opal number Two. That means I have my opal pretty for the habitat and an egg for display. Now, I can work on breeding missing dragons until the Bone or some other limited comes out.

Now if only I could manage even one for my sister's park.....

Haha, my technique of complaining on the forums worked! Either that or wapatango's well wishes. My EBI hit a nice, solid 31 hr wall. Looks like I can work on Ash now.

Congrats lemmyLoop. I am so happy for you. I hope that you get your ash quickly. I just realized that I am an idiot. :) (Okay, I'm not an idiot, but I was foolish.) I was using plant & lightning to get an ash instead of continuing butterfly & tree in attempts to get seasonal & a second gold olympus (my olympus turned out to be bronze.) This combo also gives a chance at ash. What was I thinking?

I'm probably going to go the Plant x Lightning route. Maybe once I get my first Ash I'll switch over to Butterfly x Tree as well. I still need a second Gold Oly as well as a second Seasonal. When Bone comes back it'll be a fail for that pairing as well!

Considering I got my Emerald on the last few hours it was available, and the Sapphire three days before it expired, I really don't expect to get my Opal any time soon. Luckily, I'm only after one, although if I get my Opal early, I will keep breeding for it once the Bone Dragon becomes available.
The same thing was happening to me, then magically after upgrading my breeding island (I know it is not related, but it is a funny thing that it happened right after that) I got my gemstone dragons before the half of the month, and now on the 4th of the month. So anything can happen ;)

Yea I just bred my first Opal last night. One of my luckier gemstones, the other being Pearl.

I also bred two Ash Dragons back to back after that... >_> I guess I have some free time before Bone comes out. Neat! Back to Fire + Brass for my second Gold. The money from Brass failures will be nice.

I know I would save sooo many gems upgrading my EBI, but I refuse to do it. I just really dislike the EBS art and can't bring myself to do that to my island.

Couldn't you breed silver and gold for your second gold?

I refuse to upgrade as well. The EBS is just do dang ugly. I already get enough Nursery backups as is.

I don't like breeding epics with epics to get seconds of any epic. I like doing it with normal dragons. I get much more money overall doing that. Not only does an epic fail sell badly compared to the amount of time it took to breed and hatch, the breeding epics get 100% of their income shut down while they're in the cave. I prefer to leave my epic habitats generating income and put breeding dragons in the lowest max habitats possible. (Like I put Snow x Chrome into Air habitat to breed both of my Silvers.)

I also like the satisfaction of seeing the epic timer after breeding normal dragons over and over. It's the same reason I did not breed LYD with my only Rainbow once LYD expired for a guaranteed second Rainbow. I got my second Rainbow by using another 4 element pair. For similar reasons, I don't like to breed Epic with Epic to get an egg. If there is a possibility that I will be using combos that can yield that epic in the future, I just wait until I get a failure epic for the egg display. I don't go for it purposely, and for good reason :P My island has a few accidental Rainbow, Moon, and Olympus eggs. I've got an accidental Sun egg too.

The only time I've ever bred two epics together is LYD + LYD once they expired to fill up a bunch of Rainbow habitats for money.

I sure hope my mom gets her opal today. It's been a discouraging month for her. The rest of us have an opal and my dad has a panlong and a rainbow now too.

@ Sylvandyr That totally makes sense. I didn't breed my second rainbow using leap year, b/c I figured I'd get one as a fail, and I haven't bred my second moon w/ blue moon or equinox for the same reason. If I have every other dragon I needed I might do it since coins aren't a huge priority for me. However, the chances of me having all the other dragons I need seem to be pretty slim these days.
