I am taking my kids on vacation until New Year and most likely a lot of you won't be online as much for next week and a half, so why don't we start speculating.

1. I do hope that BFS developers are on vacation too, so I am guessing we wouldn't see garnet until January 2nd
2. Reading wikipedia - this is a tough one to guess! Nothing obvious from chemical composition (and BFS doesn't seem to pay much attention to chemistry anyway). This gemstone comes in many colors, even worse - it changes color depending on the light! A chameleon dragon, anyone?

Without sneak preview and the description - I am not sure what to suggest.

"The gemstone varieties occur in shades of green, red, yellow, and orange."

Finally have my first cooking. Now on to the display egg.
Dang, I completely misread something last night (or something funky happened). I swear after I bred it said 25 gems to finish breeding. So I went to bed happy thinking I finally got my first Garnet. I just checked and my island showed they were already through breeding. So I tap the heart and I have a Bone. Anyway, I'm assuming my eyes played tricks on me. So I'm still Garnetless and feeling dumb.

As for February's Dragon - just wondering what are folks opinion on if they would use a dragon that has been previously used. So far Crystal and Cactus are the only two that repeated. And in both cases those were Level 11 dragons with a therefore much smaller selection to choose from.

There are only 3 Level 11 dragons that haven't been used before. However, that jumps up to 7 Level 14 and 10 Level 17 dragons. Just looking over the grid of Water/Air and Metal and seeing a whole lot of possibilities and trying to come up with a place to start.

sigh... loaded up both breeding grounds - ghost and mountain... at least they clear up by the morning

My wish (sort of, not very serious) for 2013: I got 2 emeralds at the time they were announced. I understand they cannot breed. how about in-vitro? sterile eggs? just for display, pleeeeease. I can't take any more LYDs

Whew... Finally got my 2nd Garnet Dragon for my display egg tonight! I count myself lucky that I managed to do it without getting a single SED fail considering what some of you are going through trying to get your Garnet Dragons.

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this:

When breeding for my 2nd Garnet Dragon tonight on the EBI (non-upgraded), I put in my Obsidian and Smoke Dragons and my game freezes before the timer bar appears and reboots on its own. As soon as it loads up again I check my timer and what do you know, 31 hours.

I have had this happen when breeding for some of the previous Gemstone Dragons and Epics too, I load the island, my game freezes, reboots and I have something rare breeding.

Anyone else?

Finally, emerald! I got this "drop-ipad-on-the-floor" feeling when I saw the clock :)

So, I'm done with bring'em back. To complete the egg collection still need plasma, current & seasonal. Seasonal was very tough for me, to the point that I missed the whole summer season. But at least, it is not limited

Congrats to Forge and Scarreddragon!!

@Forge - I know how tough that Emerald is! I missed it the first time around and it was not easy getting it during this "bring em back" period.

I finally got a Garnet breeding last night. : ) After 2 SED fails and a bunch of Smoke and Bone dragons! Still it's only the 9th of the month so I feel pretty lucky to get it so soon.

I'm with you, it's still early enough in the month that I'm not worried about not having garnet yet. Waiting on an SED to clear out of the island so I can continue. Hopefully today is the last day for bring em back.

After several unsuccessful tries for Garnet, I remember someone asked if you could breed for more gem dragon if the Gemstone island was already full. I move one of my gem dragons from my full Gemstone island into the hibernation cave to make one slot available, and my next try for Garnet is ... successful! I know this is likely coincidental since I was able to breed for an Emerald earlier with a full Gemstone island, but I'll keep one spot open until I get my second.
