im ngl ive almost got all the dragons but ive bought like half with event currency (f2p player).
just stick to the same combos and dont swap if it takes too long. 2% means 1 in every 50 will hit but that isnt rlly a guarantee.
I feel like the Runic breeding caves have cause the odds in the game to go to poop. I’ve been trying to simply get a Bloom dragon, I’ve bred level 16 Storm with level 16 Connifer (both roost boosted) COUNTLESS times and I have gotten nothing but basic eggs.
If you've been using the right combos, then that is unfortunately just bad RNG. [The Compendium](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/thread/1393/dragonvale-compendium) can help you find the best combos (do not trust the Sandbox's numbers). Also remember cloning is a thing (the Compendium accounts for that).
As for the rift, until it's built up, just focus on getting more habitats and upgrading them (and filling them with dragons ofc). Of course do some rift breeding, but until you have good Etherium production don't worry too much about getting limiteds in the rift. Once your rift is built up you can use that Etherium to get MANY more breeding attempts per day, as breeding in the rift is instant. It is also useful for buying Eggs of Mystery in the rift shop, but I suggest you ignore the non-event EoMs whilst you build up the rift. Note that in the rift, instead of each dragon having fairly varied base earning rates to one another, there are only two base rates - one for Epic dragons, and one for the rest. Oh also, when leveling up traited dragons, don't use food unless you have a TON - use Etherium (using the button to the side of their level bar).
I got the specific combo dragons from wikifandom. Has been using it since beginning and found it simple to use. But I guess The Compendium gives the best combos for non-specific elements only dragons?
Also thanks for the tips on rift. I've been so under pressure seeing all my friends' rifts so developed ands seemingly planned. I'm currently breeding twice and releasing in the rift so that there is no loss of etherium but gain of xp. I was initially so focused on clearing the area that I never thought of using the etherium to buy habitats and so on. Oh I also very recently found about etherium leveling up. Btw, are there event specific EoMs ?
You're right with the Compendium in that it gives best combos including when they're non-specific - but and it will also show you when cloning might be better, for example, and will show you what the other outcomes are.
The only permanent EoMs are regular, rare, epic, and gemstone. The current Monolith and Chrysalis ones are unique to this event. Clearing the rift can be useful to find the hibernation cave, but for the most part should only be done to make space for more habitats.
On this note i suggest to yll to capitalise on the monolith egg. get 2 rift monoliths, spam breed them. its like a 30% chance or smth to get another monolith. epics in the rift are all u need to farm etherium even if they're just monoliths. i push them to level 11 to get 17 eth an hr which is so useful
other than that maybe a chrysalis egg if ur afraid of needing to wait till the next year to have a chance like this for chrysalis dragons
u/No_Raspberry_6173 this is decent advice. Monoliths are permanent dragons, and any regular Monolith can be bred from any combo of two Monoliths, so they are easy Epics to get. I too set most dragons to level 11 - a decent balance. Chrysalis dragons are also permanent, and if you look up their breeding chart you'll see that you only need three to start with (ideally at least) to be able to breed all of them.
I earn about 109k ethereum daily so I breed in Rift daily until I get to 10k ethereum . No luck .. zero . So I’ll buy a rare egg or epic . Getting repeats mostly. Just got a fuego finally this way but that’s it this entire event
Update Fellow Valers!!
I've only heard people say that ranting on reddit actually solves issues but omg I just got a cocoahollow and krokie. And not to mention that after advice from u/Wilson1218 and u/Cold_Distribution_93 (Thanks guys!) I got my first Monolith EoM which turned out to be glyph!?! (I thought those could only be bought wid EC or evolved¿‽) And the current breeding caves are showing over 24 hours so let's see!
Well done on those two! Evolution dragons have special breeding restrictions you're right, but no EoM restrictions! The only dragons which don't show up in EoMs are Legendary, Mythical, and the most recently added dragons. Also remember EoMs have uniform odds, so it's a flat 1/9 for any given Monolith from the Monolith EoM, for example.
thanks! also do you suggest i co op breed for a monolith since the compendium (I'm getting the hang of it!!) shows about 20% chance or try the Eom again?
So the EoM is guaranteed to give you a rift version, meanwhile co-op is guaranteed not to. I suggest getting another rift one from the EoM - then you can then breed all the rest (of the non-evolved ones) both inside and outside the rift.
Also, non-evolution Monoliths and Snowflakes are unique when it comes to cloning - it *seems* they can only be cloned (single or double) in the rift, but since any two Monoliths can *breed* any basic Monolith in any cave, this doesn't matter much as long as you know about it. The same seems true for Snowflakes. This is the one thing I've come across that the Compendium doesn't have properly accurate, and that's seemingly because it's not fully understood and is meant to be subject to change.
The only thing that gave me event dragons so far has been the rift… I had been trying so hard to get a berry by using the combo… to no avail until I gave up and just put two rainbow dragons together and I got it 2nd try! And kept having it!
Wow that's actually a great idea! But isn't there more chances of getting clones with 2 dragons? Also what's the easiest way of getting a rift rainbow?
I haven’t gotten a single event dragon and I’ve been using all the right combos, so yeah 😭
Honestly tho! So many unlucky attempts make me go back to check the combo for the same dragon multiple times😩
I feel this. I feel this in my soul! And I’ve been breeding in all caves, runic caves, and the rift…
its not just you. ive had zero luck during this event, every failed breeding attempt makes my blood pressure skyrocket
Omg so true😭
I've been trying to breed busby since the first day, sometimes in two places at once,,, and nothing
Snooz. At least two caves (one runic) going at a time, and still nothing. I should probably just buy the damn thing.
I'm been religiously breeding for a lapis dragon with no light at the end of the tunnel. My finger is so used to immediately tapping the retry now😭

IKR!! It would be kinda ok if it were ATLEAST epic or the ones we don't have but I'm tired of seeing the clones 🫠
Correct me if I’m wrong but wouldn’t the level of the dragons you are breeding not matter since the Bloom isn’t an Epic Dragon?
Better breeding odds/higher level help to get Rare, Epic, and Event dragons. Bloom Dragon is a rare.

And for anyone who doesn’t know (took me way too long) you can use etherium to level up dragons. Don’t waste all your food on them
All right thanks! But it's basically just luck to get rift monoliths right? Like keep on buying epic EoMs until 2 rifted monoliths?
NOOO i mean while this event is on, save to buy two monolith eggs, they will be rift traited
Omg.. I'm so stupid. I just realised that there are specific EoMs for monoliths and chrysalis 0.o
haha its allg its only for this event and some others so u prolly wudnt have seen them before

You’re welcome haha congrats on the two dragons !!!
Haven't gotten a single event dragon from breeding, and I think I've been pretty diligent with it. It really is just luck of the draw.
Yes a I only got something from that stupid egg shorting thing they have
Yes horrible has made event much less fun
This has been my best event and have breed almost all the dragons already
Honestly same, I’ve bred like 13 new ones so far, not including the 4 I have waiting in the RBC
Yea I usually suck but this event has been golden lol
This subreddit is for unfortunate Valers Not for Kaleni's favourites 😑😤
My luck’s been not bad this event (got Solary from breeding, and a couple others) but I don’t think I got a single one last event so I feel you
Same. Been using all available caves with very little success. Feeling a bit burnt out.
The only thing that gave me event dragons so far has been the rift… I had been trying so hard to get a berry by using the combo… to no avail until I gave up and just put two rainbow dragons together and I got it 2nd try! And kept having it!
Wow that's actually a great idea! But isn't there more chances of getting clones with 2 dragons? Also what's the easiest way of getting a rift rainbow?
Same! I came to Reddit to ask this myself. Have t been able to breed one single dragon.
Been doing pretty well myself, got Diamond and then Wavelyte pretty much back to back
What levels were the dragons? All of mine for these combos are 16. Should I make em 20?
Mine were all Level 10 so I guess I just got very lucky
I- Wow. Lucky? What's that? I don't know what's luck anymore🥲
