Haven't posted in a while since I've not really had anything to show, but I ran into a wonderful surprise today. Rather than a hatchling, I'm showing off what I managed to snag from the auction house. For context in this little story, my goal has been to make a "zebra" based off of a porcelain figure I found back in May.

I had twelve random dragons in my den that were specifically set so that I had six breeding pairs that included all three colors that I wanted, with minor variations that were close enough to my goal (antique and white, and tan and brown). I kept getting colors that had NOTHING to do with the colors I had, such as random greens and purples, and I got annoyed today. I looked into it, and I learned how color breeding works; you get colors BETWEEN the two on the color wheel. So, since I had dragons with two colors I wanted and a third unwanted, I kept getting dragons with colors between what I wanted that were wildly out of place. So, in a fit, I threw out all but one of my breeders. That one specific breeder though? It was a male with White/Dirt/Sable. While not Antique like I originally wanted, white is a VERY close match to my goal, so I decided to stick with that. Dirt is non-negotiable, so that was good. Sable was only a few colors off from Brown, so that got me wondering. I went to the auction house to look for colors as close to what I wanted, and I found a big surprise surprise; a female Moon/Dirt/Brown dragon! As a result, this is my new breeding pair:


Now, my chances look like this if I breed these two (bolded for goal):
- Primary: 50% chance between White or Moon
- Secondary: 100% chance Dirt
- Tertiary: 1/7 chance between Sable, Umber, Soil, Hickory, Tarnish, Ginger, and Brown

If I did the math right, that's 14 chances at the color combo I want. The downside is that I had to fork over 1000 gems to buy this dragon. Unfortunately, I don't play the game a ton outside of daily crap and breeding, so my gems barely go up. Fortunately I had a ton of chests to open, so I managed to scrounge up the gems I needed to buy it. This is by far the closest I've come to my goal, and I'm actually hyped. Sadly, I have to wait til the 15th to be able to breed them since the male was just used, but that's fine. A little patience is all I need now. I have my "zebra" genes ready to offload on the offspring when it's time, and I WAS debating on giving both of the breeders the genes so I could just see the goal when it appeared, but for now, I'm just waiting to start the process.

God I sure hope I didn't misunderstand how color breeding works, because all this effort would crush me if it was for naught. Predict Morphology shows that it does indeed cycle through all the colors I listed above, so I'm praying. I'm ready to just get my goal already.

Oh goodness, Werebear, that's really unfortunate that you didn't know how colour breeding worked! I'm glad you found out in the end but as someone who has tight-ranged breeding pairs who still miss the mark I can very much feel the pain! 1k gems is a lot for a dragon though, roughly equating to 1mil treasure with the current conversion rate. If the dragon was worth it is completely up to you though, and I hope they'll pull through!

If you like, there are a few different sites that show the possible outcomes which might help understand better how it all works. My go-tos are the Flight Rising Colour Predictor, Flight Rising Breeding Tool and FR Colour Wheels depending on the exact info I want from them.

Also worth noting is that the colour range is split in half. If you were to find a dragon with a, say, ruby primary and paired it with one with a Caribbean primary, it will only go through the red, grey and blue range. However, if you paired the ruby dragon with a teal one (right next to Caribbean on the wheel) it will instead go through the browns, yellows and greens!

Werebear - Hope your new project works!! As Varethyn mentioned tools like Flight Rising Color Schemerversion really helps when working out colors

@Varethyn: Appreciate the resource links. If I ever try to do this again, I'll keep those in mind. The dragon pair I have now is fortunately REALLY close to my desired goal, so the 1k was worth it. It definitely bore a hole in my pocket though lol.

@Aha: Thanks, I hope it works too lol. Driving me nuts to log in every day only to find failure again and again lol.
