I just got my fifth 48 hour breeding with swamp and sandstorm!! I hope it's a rainbow!!!(fingers crossed)

Yay! Congrats! Hope it's your rainbow! :thumbs:

 

[GT500Girl]

My second Sun. Alright. That's two of the rares (well one rainbow, but I'm sure I'll get a 2nd by breeding it with my LYD).

Congrats Fletch! :thumbs: You know, I didn't think of that but if someone does have one of each the 2nd rainbow should ba a piece of cake now.

Guys Poppy's right. Remove all other elements other than plant and earth to increase your chances. I used plant 10 left and moss7 right. Both times got me a clover. Adding extra elements means more options. Thanks Poppy.

Congrats Smurfette! :thumbs: Will try that next. Thanks!

 

[GT500Girl]

What's up guys? Haven't checked in in awhile, not much to report, no clover yet but I did manage to get my lightning shrine to silver just have my cold shrine to go. Don't know why the clover dragon i's hiding from me. Oh well I'll keep looking lol.

Your not alone. It is alluding me too but it is only a matter of time...

After 2 flowers, 1 moss and 2 lavas, I finally got a 7 hour breed, although I'm currently waiting for my nest to finish with those damn lavas. Did it with a level 10 moss and a level 7 (just in case) flower. Hope the second one is easier!

Yay! Congrats! :thumbs:

 

[GT500Girl]

UGH!! Trees in both caves! Not-so-lucky-clover.

I've been having the same luck. We'll get it...Ha...I was thinking the same thing.

 

[GT500Girl]

So I haven't kept up with the thread today but before I joined I put plant earth in my BC (12 hour) and moss tree on my ebi and got a 7 hour wait time. All were level 10

What has the success rate been? Am I lucky or was it as easy as the first LYD for some?

Yay! Congrats! :thumbs:

I speculate that when they first release a dragon they allow so many for the first try and then it's pulled back a bit. Not sure though but there had been some that got it pretty quick, maybe not as fast as LYD and then there's others like me that have to take so many tries just to get one. Haha

 

[GT500Girl]

I'm do happy just hatch a egg thinking it was a sun and it was a leap year thought I missed it!

Wow! Congrats! :thumbs: That is a nice surprise!

 

[sunfresh]

You guys are fast! I keep getting moss or lava or poison... No clover yet

 

[GT500Girl]

Gone through 300 collected gems in the last 2 days and my results are 2 clovers 1 leap year 3 rainbows (1 inside my nursery) 1 sun and my gc and bi are both with 48 hour dragons. Excited. Hahaha, I think that was a pretty good way to waste them.

Feel free to visit my island and gift gems if you like.
Gcid: Jayredc

Lol Congrats! :thumbs: Glad you got somethng out of using them! I wasted about 500 on LYD but it didn't get me anywhere. It was only when I quit using them that I got my 2nd. Go figure. Haha

 

[GT500Girl]

I think Poppy is right 'bout 7 theory. I try seaweed and Moss lv 7 and I got Clover first try (My gems also 7 at that time ) Thx for the tips. One more clover than back to level up my shrine... I know to get faster and more money we should put a lot of rare Dragon and panlong in earth habitat. But I have to admit it's kind of hard to delete other habitat

Oh wow! Congrats! :thumbs: 7 has been good to you! :thumbs: That is my exact plan too but I need 2 clovers still. Lol

 

[GT500Girl]

Me too! I haven't had any luck either thank god we have more time than we had with the LYD

Yeh, I hope we have more time anyways. We just have to....

 

[iBunda]

Oh wow! Congrats! :thumbs: 7 has been good to you! :thumbs: That is my exact plan too but I need 2 clovers still. Lol

I have to thank you tho, ur the one who told me about Poppy's 7 theory (hugs) . After my EBI finish with another Lava (ugh) I try my 2nd clover. Cross our finger for everybody

The Turbo Tortoises: Leap Year Dragons as Coin Producers

With a limit of $1,000,000 and a production rate of $400/minute, Rainbows are great gold coin generators. However, there's that 48/48 breeding and hatching time to get started. With a 15.5/15.5 breeding and hatching time, the new Leap Year Dragons offer a nice alternative and are a nice complement to the Panlong gold coin production approach (the Chinese Gold Coin Factory - GGCF). Here's the math:

Assumptions & Basic Data

- You have 2 Leap Year Dragons
- No gems used to accelerate process
- 3 leveln15 Panlongs in a fully optimized Earth environment produce 411 coins/minute
- 1 Level 10 Leap Year Dragon produces 400 coins/minute *
- Optimal return from Pans requires hourly sweeps
- Optimal return from LYD's requires sweeps every 41 hours
- Level 15 Pans have the potential to produce $1,775,520 in a 24 hour period
- A level 10 LYD has the potential to produce $576,00 in a 24 hour period

Conclusion

It all depends on how frequently you sweep for coins.

Nothing currently rivals an Earth habitat with 3 fully optimized level 15 Pans (except 3 level 15+ Pans, but that's not realistic for most of us). But it requires that you sweep hourly, which is also not realistic for most of us (you would have to be recovering from major surgery or somesuch to even come close).

LYD's produce at a lower rate but it's realistic to assume that you will be able to sweep frequently enough to capture the full potential of $576,00 a day.

What we need to calculate is the crossover point: how frequently do you need to sweep for coins with Pans in order for them to out-produce Goldie's?

- Pan hourly production: $73,980/hour
- Leap Year Dragon hourly production: $24,000/hour
- $73,980/ $24,000 = 3.1 hours

So if your interval between sweeps is more than 3.1 hours, the LYD's deliver a higher payoff. They keep chugging along after the Pans hit a wall and stop. Turbo Tortoises to the Pan's Hare.

The key for me has been to observe how frequently I sweep for coins and to set a mix of Pans and rares that fits that frequency.

* That's a little bit apples and oranges compared to the higher investment required to get the Pans to level 15, but I've set it aside in order to keep things simple.
