3 days of breeding the same 2 dragons (firefly & seaweed) on the breeding island and still no rainbow.

The only rare has come from the breeding cave. I deleted all boosts and got a sun on the 5 try, have since put the boosts back and got no rares from the cave in 3 days. Using the same combo (mud & storm). Could this be coincidence.

So I really don't understand the whole shrine thing....? And when do you get the epic breeding cave? And what purpose does it serve?

Yeah, I've been trying blue fire and crystal... Got me two suns! Still can't get rainbow

Things that "seem" to work are deleting your boost buildings, and having your habitat on the same island as the breeding cave. Also, order matters. Storm+Sonic didn't get me anything but Sonic+Storm got me 2 suns and 3 moons. So if one combo isn't working, try flipping it around.

Thanks so much for your suggestions! I really appreciate that you took the time to answer.
I have definitely tried swapping the order of my pairs so I'll just continue with that but I hadn't heard of removing the boosts until now (also got a PM from GT500Girl suggesting the same!) so I've removed them (sold one and moved the other) and will keep my fingers crossed that it helps! Dont think I'll move my habitats just yet as I just finished rearranging my islands and am really happy with the way it looks (plus I didnt have the corresponding habitats on the breeding island when I got my Sun or Reindeer) but will keep that in mind if the 'lull' continues.

Really, thanks again

Yeh, me too! It states something about rares being easier to get or something like that..uh huh...yeh right! Lol. Not for me

Me either I sure am getting everything else. Just need Moon, Sun and Rainbow then I can start working on the shrines. Just guess I will keep at it.

Me too just hatched WooHoo after many many attempts scorch and seaweed

Congrats...

Thank u x

Ive been using hybrids because u get a point for each element so u can double up without having used twice as much food. I used the flower dragon for plant as fire as its only a 1 hr incubation time. Im currenty using mountains and storm dragons to do my earth, cold and lightning shrines. It saves u food to use hyrbrids, just takes a little longer?

So I really don't understand the whole shrine thing....? And when do you get the epic breeding cave? And what purpose does it serve?

Basically the shrines are a new 'building' for each element (cold, plant, fire, earth etc) and once you have them on your islands they will keep track of how many dragons you have raised to level 10 (whether you then sell them or not). Once you have reached the shrine goal of 50 level10 dragons you will be able to raise the level of that element's dragons to a maximum of 15 (rather than 10 now) which will then mean the dragon earns more coins.
To get the most out of your food (the major cost in reaching the shrine goal of 50 level 10 dragons) its a good idea to breed hybrids as they count towards both element shrines - e.g, for every Poison dragon you raise to level 10 you will get one counted towards BOTH the Fire AND Plant shrines (as opposed to only one point toward the Plant shrine for a purebreed Plant dragon). The Poison is also a good one to breed because it only takes an hour total from breeding to hatching.

The epic breeding island is available if you go into the 'Islands' area of your market (though I'm not sure if you have to already have the third island and/or be at a certain level to purchase it as mine was available immediately when I updated my game)...it can only be bought with (125) gems. It is really just another place to breed your dragons (helpful if your existing cave is busy with a long breeding pair) BUT it also says it might help with breeding the rare dragons - though there seems to be conflicting evidence as to whether it really does (it hasnt helped me yet but others swear it does).

I hope this is helpful.

It could be, heh, but who knows with this game. I have also just deleted the boosts on the island I have my breeding cave on, as per the advice of two players who have all the rares themselves, because I have had a huge lull between getting my Sun and any rares since.

Hopefully we will both have some luck very soon :thumbs:

Ok so I have a big question. I just unlocked the air shrine, and it's the last one I need to complete. I have hatched 6-8 air and sandstorms in the last day, not counting all the air and air-hybrids I already had on my islands level 10, but my counter only says 5/50 in the air shrine. Kind of confused, because I know I should have a lot more. Anyone else have this problem? (mostly aimed at Brooklyn haha)

-EDIT-
So I just bred another air and another sandstorm. My counter still says 5/50 -.-

Could this be because I haven't bought the air shrine yet? I assumed all dragons raised counted even if the shrine wasn't bought yet. Reasoning behind this is when I bought the plant shrine, it said 13/50 and when I bought others it said whatever I actually had. I'm going to be very mad if I've wasted like 50,000 food or more raising dragons that weren't being counted.

-SECOND EDIT-
So I just bought the air shrine. Thought I would have enough gems to speed it up lol cause I had 9. Turns out its 12 hours to build it. I'll update again in 12 hours to let you guys know if the counter changed. I'm not hatching anymore until I see.

Okay, I am not a shrine expert, hehe, but I think it only keeps track of the ones at level 10 that are still on your islands when you first buy it...then only once you already have it will it keep track of the ones you raised and sold from there on out. Have you sold some before you bought the shrine?
It could also be a glitch (and something I wondered about/worried would happen if we didn't pay enough attention) of course. Do you still have them on your island? If so, contact the developers because that's pretty obviously not right!

Good luck :thumbs:
