    Gotta love the mini rant! Or even the full blown all out rant. Worked for me in the past, and in another BFS game - Ragdoll Blaster 2.
    Yeah I'm not even minding the long Rare wait - especially since I've only done it once before. At this writing- now down to 33.5 hrs. This one happens to be in the non EBI cave.
    As for EBI, I'm waiting a little longer then gemming out a Lava 11/Fog 4 combo to make room for Air 10/Mud 4. I keep giving lava/fog a try since my daughter got her 2 Pans this way. This latest effort looks like another Mud. Boy I've really got a level 4 Mud stockpile now.

    Just got a 36 hr timer

    WHOO HOO, just got another 36 hr timer....should be my second Panlong :D
    Been trying for this in one cave and Frosty in the other.

    Well still trying for That Frosty...turning out to be very challenging....but soo happy to get another Pan. I had tried blazing / mud as it worked first time...then every other combo that had worked for others...then back to blazing / mud.... then I just decided to go back to what worked the first time and bingo.

    So it was lvl 4 blazing / mud lvl 10 AGAIN!.
    Now it's just that Frosty....and a second Rainbow.

    QUESTION: Has anyone bred a second bone dragon using the one you have plus a hybrid at all since it BFS took it away? I would love a second one, couldn't even breed my first and ended up using hoarded gems to buy it before it was too late.
    May have to search dragon wiki posts, but just thought I would ask you all first

    @ Alyjens....hey congrats on your second sandstorm and another 48 hrs huh....you are also on a roll my friend...I did notice you were breeding an air/mud combo when visiting recently, but the muddie looked bigger than a lvl 4 size...looked like your smaller muddie was with a blazing in the EBC at the time... Was interesting to read on wiki - Sandstorm, that this combo lvl had also been noted as a successful option too ;)

    Haha, I just realized these are the same lvls that have also netted me two pans, but with blazing / mud of course...hmm that's interesting

    Grats Aly!! Snow/Fire- musta been trying for Frosty. A nice weekend indeed.


    Hey I just looked at my hibernation cave, it seems that the dragons are losing money while staying in there. Is that how it works?! I thought while they were in there they'd be not earning .. but negative red means it's costing to keep them in there. Correct?

    And grats to girlpower! #2 Panlong! That's great!!

    Well, I was using my bine dragon in attempts for my Panlongs and kept getting lava dragons. The only way I got my third was to level my lv. 3 to lv. 6 and breed it with my lv. 10 so I guess you will have to wait for next halloween or the dragon trading post.

    Congrats on you 2nd Panlong! Come join the club! Lol jokes, there's not actually a club. (didn't mean to get your hopes up! :p)

    And perhaps we've found the magic numbers? Something to test!

    Challenge Time!

    Ok, so I have an idea for a DV challenge;

    First, put all your valuable dragons onto storage. Next, sell all other dragons. Buy one of all the base types of dragons ie. Plant, Fire, Earth, Cold, Lightning, Water, but not Air. (Have to breed it) And have them all level 1. Start with 100,000 Food and however much money you have. Now the fun can begin!

    See how fast you are able to breed every single available dragon!

    Feel free to take up the........ hang on, it needs an awesome name........ I know! The Insanity Challenge! So, feel free to take up the Insanity Challenge! If you dare! Post progress if you feel like it, and if you're on multiple forums like this, spread the challenge! Good luck if you try! You will need it! Hehe

    Thanks Fox :)

    Regarding the hibernation cave.....I do recall reading in the last update that while the dragons are in there they will not earn any coins, so you are correct.
    I have checked all mine and they are in the black (neutral).
    So I went and checked where yours was, cause I had an idea....and I saw that's yours was on an Island that also had boosts.
    Mine is not around any, so I am guessing that's why your dragons are showing negative.
    It probably just means that they would earn negative if you took them out and put them in habitats on that same Island? You could test that out by moving your hibernation cave to a boost free Island OR temporarily move your boosts just to see

    THANK YOU! >slaps forehead< That makes sense! I'll go move it to a neutral island. I just liked the feng shui thing I had goin there. Ha. Have to do a little redecorating. And thanks, girlie, for visiting and helping me out with that!

    Btw, I got so excited about your Pan success that I forgot I was going to try Air 10/Mud 4 on EBI next. Doh! Stuck in another 8 hr Blaze breeding (Blaze4/Mud10). Oh well .. Really happy to hear all the recent successes, great encouraging news!

    Come visit

    Be sure to come visit my park. I'm on vacation right now with sporadic cell phone coverage, but when I do have service, I'm doing my best to gift gems every day. So for all those in my circle, I'm trying to keep up!

    Happy breeding. :)

    @Girlpower-great news on your #2 Pan success!!! That Frosty is a bugger though, huh? BTW- I was using your Air 10/Mud 4 combo several times. Wasn't working for me so I tried leveling up the Mud a bit. ;) Now I think I'm gonna try breeding a new Cold & see if that will breed a Frosty for me. Thanks for visiting me & for the gem! :)

    You got two Fires from Blue Fire/Cold? And a Cold? Maybe I'm losin it, but I thought an elemental dragon couldn't be bred, only purchased? Except for the Air dragon.

    EDIT::
    Nevermind, bet you were talking generally not specifically. Me duh

    Just so you guys are aware - the negative sign next to a dragon's "earnings" means that they're earning less than they could if they weren't negatively affected by a boost. It doesn't mean they're costing you money.

    And if you have them in the hibernation cave, they aren't affected by anything, since they're not earning you money at all.

    I'm going to start posting some YouTube videos showing successful rare breeds so you guys can try the same combo, and see proof that the combination will work. Hopefully it will help out a lot.
