Hybrid Light Dragons

So there are technically 8 new dragons.

Rift Dragon or I'm assuming Light Rift dragon

Light dragon which actually seems separate or at the very least there is a different egg.

Light is it's own element which can be bought for 2000000 DC

There are 6 light Hybrid Dragons Sand Glass Luminous Meadow Heat Ember

Sand and Glass are E/L, Luminous and Meadow are P/L and Heat and Ember are F/L no word on the other three elements i assume they will start with dark and then over time the other combos will be released.

The Giant light habitat in market place is different from the reward one so if you can Try to get at least that. I would love to know what happens if you breed two rifts together.

I think it will be odd to have the same egg on a different pedestal when the dark rift (drift?) dragon is released. We've never had that before. Except for the glitch when they changed the Firefly egg.

And I understand the point of not releasing all the hybrids at once, but 1 of each element would have made more sense like when metal was released. Maybe they were going for the comedy of having to breed the same combo trying for the opposite hybrid instead of being able to get all the dragons you wanted guaranteed with a single breeding.

@Ruffian and Lemmy. Ha ha. Forgiving "cheating" is one thing. Forgiving those who promote it, is another. ;) I'm pretty sure my teachers in school would have frowned on "40% cheating" just as much. :)

Also, when we were gifted the Light Rift Dragons by backflip, was there an option to turn the egg into a pedestal?
When we accepted the gift, it showed up in the nursery, so I think when it came out of the nursery we would have had the usual options to hatch, display, or sell.

As for maxing rewards, sure, you can breed it, but the rates will probably have dropped by the time I can get to it - I still have to get Topaz (twice). But in my case, I just missed maxing Light by a few thousand MP, so whether it makes any sense or not, by golly, I'm going to max something. :P
Ha! Exactly how I feel! I was pretty close to maxing light. Had I spent that wasted magic on dark, I would have already Maxed dark. So I can't just NOT finish the last level. At the moment, I'm at 10,500/14,000.
looks like I should be able to Max it in time, and with a full bucket when it ends. I want a full bucket after it's maxed. Idk y. XD

Bucket size has just been increased to 5000. :-)

Doesn't anybody else remember that the first Reward listed was the Rift Light Pedestal? When I accepted it, it appeared in the park as a pedestal, no option of hatching.

I have 3 Rift dragons now, and at least 1 each of the others (and Luminous coming out my ears) I Love the ember dragon.

But I can't see me getting the next upgrade on Dark as I'm only at 3500/9999.

@magpac, that should be gettable, try planting shrubs, that 9999 upgrade is worth it. I guess we will also still get a double magic weekend. For the 14000 upgrade which I still need to get... I doubt I am getting it, I am not going to spend much time on this event anymore because all I will get is an extra rift dragon.

In other news... I sold my ouroborous pedestal while clearing shrubs -.-"

But it was separate from the eggs you earned in the habitat, which supports the notion that it was that middle egg, which is gone now. But I find the whole thing a bit confusing. Just to get it strait in my head, we find that:

The pedestal we were gifted when Light came is a Rift Dragon egg on a Light Pedestal. Each element has its own separate pedestal, which means that Dark should have a different pedestal. However, the Rift Dragon eggs in the Dark habitat we've earned look exactly the same as the Light eggs, and as Fletch has pointed out, aside from Firefly when they first released pedestals into the game, no egg has had two different pedestals.

So this leads to a few conflicting conclusions: either we will get a separate Dark Rift Dragon whose egg looks exactly the same as Light Rift Dragons, but the pedestal will be the Dark design (whether we get another gift pedestal is up in the air to me, but you could breed another DRF and display it so you could get a pedestal regardless as long as you earned a Dark Rift).

Or, there is no separate Dark Rift Dragon, and the eggs that come in the habitat will be exactly the same as what we got already, just, because they haven't released Dark as an element yet, that isn't showing up in their info or as one of their elements. This will be changed once they come. Also, then the Rift Dragon pedestal is the same as the Light Dragon's because that was the first element that came through; if Dark had been first, it would have been a Dark pedestal design.

What do you guys think?

^A third option is possible
We get a Dark Rift Dragon (so looks different from light rift dragon) but the combo for both rift dragons will be dark + light and they can be placed in both habitats.

That works too! Then that means that the pedestal and egg will look exactly the same and just the dragon will be different. Have we ever had that before? I can't think of another example where the same egg could produce two different dragons.

At least, not since they consolidated the egg designs and added pedestals... way back when Scorch and Firefly eggs were the same, but that got changed once they finally got the grid thing going.

...does it matter if the rift dragon egg can have two different pedestals, or even two differ dragons? The rift dragon already brakes a few standard rules that other limited dragons consistently follow... I say that anything is fair game at this point. Don't expect the rift dragon to follow other dragon's leads. They haven't so far.

Nah I meant two different pedestals and two different dragons (maybe the same egg though)

Not sure what rules it has broken? Except not being breedable except for same + same?

And yes it does matter, because I don't want 4 the same rift dragons :P

Well, this isn't exactly a hot-button issue for most people who would be reading this, but one rule it breaks is that it's a dragon with no minimum level associated with an element that does have a minimum. This can create a certain amount of weirdness if you're at a low level. To quote my post in the proboards forum:

Quote:
 
I have two gem farm parks that were at level 9-10 or so when the magic started and had been there for months. Inexplicably, I felt like playing them enough to get at least one large habitat in each, so now they're around level 13-14 and each received a Light habitat and rift dragon. I tried to breed the rift dragon with fire and got...fire. Which shouldn't happen. Except that the element the rift dragon is associated with is one with a starting level of 20-something, so by normal game rules, the idea that I could have it at all to breed with also shouldn't happen. I'm guessing they set no level limit on the rift dragon so that everybody could receive one, but if you're under-level for Light and Dark, you can't actually breed the rift dragons and get anything other than a result governed by the second parent.

Assuming Dark has a unique rift dragon, though, and assuming it can be bred with a Light rift, it'll be interesting to see what happens. 100% rift dragons? That would be nice, since my large Light/Dark habitats will have 2 empty slots that are otherwise unfillable.


And if you can breed 2 rift dragons (opposing or not) and never get anything other than rift dragons, then while it's technically following the new breeding rules in the only way it can, in practice it violates the new same+same /= same 100% of the time rule.

Wow, Journeywoman! That's some interesting info. I think Light dragons are level 21, so they won't be breedable for those parks until you reach level, but you can still own, as a Reward, the Rift dragons and breed them with each other till then. That's actually very cool!

Also, since Light dragons are such a high level, I doubt they'll be required for the Winter Seasonal or 3-month gemstone.

I'm even wondering how good they'll be in the colosseum until they add Light competitions (so far I haven't had much success with Lights on the Racetrack, either).
