I know I'm behind... a lot of people but I FINALLY got my hands on my first pair of skydancers and the potential babbies in 20 days are making me nuts. I want them now. These are the rarest dragons I have and it's a miracle I even got one out of a raffle.

I got one egg from one of my pairs I put up reserves for.

So sad.

picked up a speckle gene to check out on my planned Plague Rats pairing and my only regret is I won't be able to afford a second speckle before they breed:

i think i'm more annoyed by the people crying about "why can't we all just get along" re: internet drama than by what's actually causing all the internet drama

welp, i think today i learned my lesson about breeding pairs that i don't like just because they might produce popular colors. namely: don't do it.

now i'm stuck with two hatchlings that i think are ugly and that i probably won't be able to sell for much anyway.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 11:29 pm (UTC)(link)
i previewed a couple genes i'd been thinking of putting on my hideously bright pair

and of course half the pair looks awful with them

(Anonymous) 2013-09-12 11:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Speckle/Freckle is so ugly, unless you're purposely going for a stone dragon look.

Wow, there was a prize in my cereal! I was entering my newest saved-from-the-exalt-bait hatchling into my spreadsheet (how could anybody exalt splash/fire/caribbean with Plague eyes, I ASK YOU), and I noticed something I'd overlooked: he's first-generation.

yes, yes, my pet, you shall have lots and lots of lovely unrelated-to-anybody-else babies. Each and every one a sight to sore eyes. No, not "for". "To."

jfc i have a gened common up for 50k and a doubled-gened common for 110k and they are not selling

is the economy really that bad

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 01:02 am (UTC)(link)
It occurs to me that all of the goddamn bumping in the sale forums means the little "number of posts" stat under your name is pretty much meaningless.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 01:08 am (UTC)(link)
Have you ever gened or breed-changed a dragon and later regretted it?

I have. I gave one of my favorite dragons Tiger so that her offspring would have a guaranteed primary, but I think she looked better basic... I also feel increasingly "meh" about a dragon that I recently changed into a Pearlcatcher.

Anyone know what happened here? Anon is curious.

So today I did the thing where I fucked up an existing planned breeding by getting excitable on the forums, and as a consequence this girl has no date for sunday

Scylla here THOUGHT she had a date lined up, but her boyfriend has made "other plans," and now she's left to fend for herself! Can someone help a girl out?

Why is the price spread between items' price in gems and their price converted to T (even using the lower conversion factor of 1:140) so pronounced? Does anybody get it? I've only just started taking advantage of it, so not complaining, but.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 01:40 am (UTC)(link)
i got inspired to try hatchling-flipping and then i just bought this 6500 t guardian and realized he'd be a way better mate for my progen (obs/seafoam) than the random progen.

here he is:

ugh i am weak

maybe i'll just list him for like 20k because maybe no one will buy him but i'll feel better for having tried

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 01:44 am (UTC)(link)
I now have enough gems for a circuit or a shimmer scroll.

If I get the shimmer, I'm one step closer to this fuckmazing pair (http://trollslum.net/fr/?id=9,12,66,65,64,67,1) being ready to breed, but I'll still have to grind up a spiral scroll for one of them first and hope that I can sell single-gened spirals at all once they're finally ready.

If I get the circuit, I can apply it to a dragon I've been excited to see it on, but she's a fae so her babies are unlikely to sell well.

Decisions, decisions.

Has anybody tried flipping pendants for treasure?

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 02:00 am (UTC)(link)
Damn, there is a lot of fugly exalt bait with eyespot.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
I'm still kind of annoyed at myself for taking this hatchling off auction when my lair is so crowded but really what was I supposed to do when I noticed she was white/sky/sky?

She's just a tundra though and I'm not a fan of female tundras. What should I do with her, anons? Right now I'm liking the idea of a pearlcatcher with the new belly gene, which would distribute the sky tone all over her body b/c pearlcatcher fluffy bits.

I'm not sure I can see her as something badass like a ridgeback or snapper, but who knows.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 02:32 am (UTC)(link)
So, newbie here. What's breed popularity? I keep seeing people saying Pearlcatchers are ugly, but they're some of my favorite. :c It makes me wonder about my taste in dragons.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
i love it when i'm selling a highly desirable dragon and buyers try to rip me off like i don't know any better

i get an evil sort of glee from shutting them down, especially when they offer me almost 100k lower than my already extremely kind price

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
i want a brown-range pair, but i feel like between my lack of lair space and the plummeting prices picking up another breeding pair would be a bad idea

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
Newbie boon reseller from yesterday here. Now I see why people are always bitching about undercutters- my boon never did sell, and the AH price has gone down by nearly 4k since yesterday- so I'd have barely any profit left if I tried to use the funds to buy gems for another boon.

I don't have the funds to start flipping treasure scrolls instead, so this is pretty frustrating.

(Anonymous) 2013-09-13 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
can someone explain to me why wildclaws are the "best" for breeding with imps? is it just because imps are so expensive in general? the cooldown for wc's is so insane though. it seems more effective to just mate between imps.
