genes im allowed to give him - i prefer to keep his secondary as shimmer i think.. unless you can come up with a look which is better :D :

Primary Genes: Basic, Tiger, Clown, Speckle, Ripple, Bar, Vipera, Piebald, Cherub, Giraffe, Jupiter, Iridescent, Falcon

Secondary Genes: Basic, Stripes, Freckle, Current, Daub, Paint, Peregrine, Toxin, Hex, Saturn, Shimmer

Tertiary Gene:Basic, Underbelly Smoke, Spines, Okapi, Thylacine, Stained, Contour.

plus special for his pack : Crackle, gembond and runes.

Petals, Butterfly Skink, Spinner,Glimmer, Poison & Toxin are allowed but only where the genes don't add a too bright hue to the colors - and i would like to stay away from gem genes :P
I kinda like his tiger and okapi, but if you want to steer away from that falcon/shim/contour look really good, spines will always look good, ripple is handsome on him, jupiter and smoke is kind of a cool look.

Scatter!! Because it is not at all frustrating ;-). I would scatter if I were attached to the dragons.. else chuck away and buy eggs for the gems.

I haven't played in... a long time. I know they've added a lot of new colors, a new breed, new genes.. etc, but is it really worth it to come back?

Breeding gave minimal money and most ended up as exalt fodder. This to me killed the whole getting dragons in the colors I wanted, geneing them up and breeding them to make beautiful offspring... only to have them sacrificed for the weekly exalt. While I may still own the pretty dragon, it just ruined breeding for me. Why breed? For 2-3k a baby? I didn't like to exalt myself, but honestly it was worth more money in the end. Not enough people to take all the babies put out.

The grind of getting the gold to buy the genes and breed change scrolls. Baby making, as mentioned, became piddles for that. So we have games. Spend a while playing games and get your maximum a day. Some scrolls ran 4-600k and that's just for one scroll. It was a bit much for casual play. Then I was running into the issue where I FINALLY got enough for the gene I wanted.. out of what few that were available... and then a new one I liked better got released. I understand that this is what keeps the whole thing going, constantly saving up for new things, but it gets old. Like WoW does after a while.

I was also a first gen collector. I know a lot of mine would be worth quite a bit to some people as there is a demand for "old" dragons, specially first gen ones. I have several of the first release Nocturne's as well, a few I never managed to trade off for better colors.

Did they ever add a Tert Scatter only? I would love to get a better Tert for my starter dragon since we couldn't pick that and I don't want to get rid of him or risk his other colors I picked. Although... hard some of those colors been there at the start I might have picked differently.

Sadly they dont have atert scatter... There is A LOT of demands for old dragons, but the rules about them is kinda strict.. the id number needs to be under 3 million. But I am sure if you decided to sell them you could make a good deal of money them being gen 1´s.

I breed for myself mostly. I love seeing new hatchlings. And you make a little money doing it so why not. Genes are the same thing pricewise and the games has really not improved so it is still hard to gene stuff.

If you decide to return you need to get your mindset wrapped around that nothing is selling.. really.. sometimes even dragons with the latest gene dont sell. I´ve gotten use to it but it can be a hazzle. What keeps me going is my plans and scatters :D


My friends and I will help you with food if you need :D

Yeah, as discouraging as it can be to be excited about a pair and have nothing sell, I've admittedly found more enjoyment in viewing breeding as a fun bonus. Most of the time, on FR, I'm dressing up my preexisting dragons, searching out lairs with cool lore/unique color combos to stalk, and doing my typical daily tasks- I'm actually shocked by how much money I'm making just by bonding with familiars every day and getting chests from them. (Getting back into the coliseum has helped too!)

First gens are fun, and old dragons are awesome, but be warned that those are two of the most expensive possible kinds of dragon to collect- I think they're absolutely rad, but personally I don't have the FR budget to do that kind of thing. But the pittance I make selling/exalting and the significant amount more I make from opening chests/selling stuff from my hoard makes me enough to buy a gene here and there, which is enough, when what I'm doing is just buying pre-gened dragons with pretty colors and changing one or two genes here and there. At this point, I view a lot of the higher end breed changes, especially, as a luxury I'd rather not wait for- I could just as easily wait for a dragon to be bred of the right colors and breed.

Of course, I know this won't work for everyone! It's just how I've come to enjoy the game. 8) I focus more on the lore and storytelling aspect of the game anyway.

So I was browsing the AH and came across this gorgeous first gen Noct for 25k. (Man first gens are cheap now...) I went and scryed him a bit to see what he'd look like with genes. I found a combination I liked, but it didn't look right on Nocturne, so I tried a Bogsneak. I LOVE it. Like, it works so great. Then I tried some of the other dragons.. now I'm torn. He looks so great as several breeds that I can't decide which to make him in the end.

ImageImageImage

The only things he doesn't look good as is Noct, really. Some of the others aren't as good because of where the Contour line runs through the spiral of Cherub. I LOVE this combo on Tundra, but I have a few male Tundra I'll probably give Cherub because it looks awesome on them.

So.. which breed should I do? I have a Coatl scroll from before I stopped playing. I was saving it for a Fae girl I had but I wanted to find her a mate first. I don't have a Coatl pair yet.

I also love Wildclaws and would love another Wildclaw pair, but would have to find him a mate. I do have some extra females that might work with him.

I of course don't have a Bogsneak pair as they're new.

Argh. I can't decide. They all look so great.

I don't know what to do with this girl :/ I've resorted to covering her with a skin because I hate her colors so much, and no gene combos I try look good on her (I'm also not fond of female tundras to begin with)

I want to scatter her, but I've already tried that 3 times in the past and they've all caused her to look ugly. I could try scattering her again and hoping for something workable, but it would just seem like a waste if her colors turn out crappy...

I'm thinking of throwing her up on a 6-digit swap board I'm planning to make later along with a few other dragons I wanna trade away, but I'm hesitant because she's level 25, and because of her low-end ID :/


edit;; i caved and scattered her -- only took two (fuckin' thankfully) for her to land on colors i am infinitely more fond of and can actually work with

Its a hard choice... i have never had much succes in low digit trading.. so usually i just scatter because the interest is solow...

Hey guys. I've been on the lookout for honey/honey/pear dragons for the petals/butterfly colour combo and today found a good project pair to make one such dragon. One of them needed regening and still needs a tert while the other was already pet/butt/glim. But that's the thing, should I go with glimmer? I see most pet/butt colour combos with glimmer yet I feel the flatness of underbelly would work better. At least with this combo. What do you guys think, glimmer or belly?

I like the glimmer better, the tones match the green accents better than the underbelly version
