Oh, yes, I second stocking up on Pinks and Reds. Those two are, in my experience, the most useful ones. Magis too, but you don't need that much of those if you don't plan on heavy trading (I've ever used three at a time max)
I love AP hunting, it's fun. Though sometimes frustrating when there are a lot of messy and CB ones. I'm only looking for EG or stairstep prizefails.

I love hunting in AP for CBs.lol. It saves time.
EDIT:Oh yeah,Thank you Exterminans. It works properly now. xD
-
I´m hording Terraes. Most of them I get from the AP nowadays. CBs, nice lineaged or Tinselfails, no messy ones.
Funny, so far I´ve only seen Terrae-Tinsel fails, but I´ve never seen a Terrae-Shimmer fail... -
I use 2 hatcheries
http://www.pethatchery.co.uk/ms_hatchery.php
this one is for 3, and I belong to all three sitesI also use
http://eatw.net/
this one takes off dragons that are fogged, and if you forget, they may die.... -
idril: Will try AP next time! But I don't know how to incubate, is that the method Mia described?
Oh! I wasn't clear; what an "incubate" does is knock off a day of the time of an egg. So if the egg says it will hatch in 5 days, 6 hours, for instance, then it will change to saying 4 days, 6 hours. I have learned NOT to incubate an egg until it is down to 6 days, 0 hours, AT THE MOST. Otherwise what happens (particularly with EATW) is that the hatchery thinks your egg is OK with getting more views (and it's really not - it IS still under a day old) and throws more views at it. I got a few sick eggs this way until I realized it's better to wait until the 6 day mark passed before incubating. And often I wait until the "big hole" appears, usually right after the 5 day mark, in which case your egg changes to below 4 days and then instantly hatches.Btw, if you have trouble getting certain breeds (some breeds are harder to get than others, and some breeds impossible, they can only be gotten through breeding, like tinsels and shimmers), just ask here, and we can breed you some. Many of us are happy to breed dragons for other people. Just give us a few days, though; many times we're egg-locked and have to wait for our current batch to hatch before we can breed you some eggs.
Btw, the more adult dragons you have on your scroll, the more eggs you're allowed to carry. The maximum is 7 eggs if you have a gold trophy. You earn the trophies by raising dragons, so just keep doing it.

Hmm, you're right. I just checked and all mine are tinsel fails too. Also, pretty much all of the Terrae-paired Tinsels are gold. I only have one from bronze. No silvers
Also:
Claim my eggs/hatchlings!
Black Stripe. Wrong colour for my lineage project -
Maybe the Shimmer owners decided not to breed with Terraes from experiance with the Tinsels, because those pairings hardly give any Tinsels.
I have Tinsel fails from all three colours, can´t say now from which ones more, though. I have so many and I´m too lazy to look at all the lineages. :p I have to admit all the Tinsels look great paired with Terraes. -
Lady Nova, are you fussy about lineages? I can breed you bronze and silver shimmers. I have no terrae though (by choice).
It would need to be after the April release, if there is one. -
and a spring hatchy I couldn't trade lol http://dragcave.net/teleport/a886a…47bf79f27e9aab7
a pink http://dragcave.net/teleport/f3b46…ce4cc09afdadcd0
pink fail... http://dragcave.net/teleport/4de6c…993e0b088e2358f
and another red http://dragcave.net/teleport/30848…be71b820a7c83d4Enjoy
ok 1 more - thuwed anyone? http://dragcave.net/teleport/4f194…68acd5f363ba956

Yeah, I'm somewhat fussy. I don't like messy lineages and I generally ignore the CBs, unless I don't have a CB of that species yet (I want two CB, one for each gender, from every species possible).
Mostly I collect EG dragons 3g or higher. I'm trying to to see how high gen I can get to. Currently I'm at 8g and working on a mate for it. (Relatedly, if anyone wants a silver Tinsel or a Pink with really epic lineage, you can ask me) Another thing I collect are stairstep prize fails, which I then breed together to get prize-core arrowheads.
Tempestsea - I took the Spring. If it genders right I can continue the lineage.
-
Lady Nova you can influence the gender with a pink
-
Yeah - influence - in my experience if I REALLY need it to gender one way influence fails... http://dragcave.net/lineage/zT4cZ, http://dragcave.net/lineage/NVHY9 I seem to have really bad luck lol. Oh and it's already a hatchy - not influenceable.
-
Ok, so my first batch of eggs is ready to hatch (in a couple of hours). So far, no problems, despite early multi-hatchery exposure (but that was done out of ignorance, probably won't risk it again). My question is if hatchlings are equally delicate (concerning views) during their first day. Or is it ok to put them in 1 or 2 low-volume nurseries right away?
-
Putting hatchies in nurseries should be fine. They usually have enough views by then. I hardly get any sick hatchies... expect for Shimmers and Tinsels.
-
Thanks, Idril! Shimmers and Tinsels will be out of reach for quite a while, I guess, but my vanilla hatchlings should do fine, then.
Thank you guys ('n' gals) for your help! -
Plus GoN(Guardian of Nature), which is only obtained by summon.
-
Shimmers and tinsels aren't out of reach for you. Any of us will be happy to (attempt to) breed one for you if you'd like. You just need to let us know.

Also the Legendary Trio (Ice, Magma and Thunder) which you need at least one set of to get a GoN. Even then it can take over a year of summoning.
-
Speaking of Trios...
walkinslow: I just caught a CB Ice. I doubt I´ll get what I want for it, so you can have it when you got room again.
I´ll send you a trade link by PM tomorrow when cool-down is over.And I´ll happily try to breed you some Shimmers, Tinsels, Metallics and Trios, too.
