TOPIC | Can we try this as a scroll?
The admins have stated they have no plans for this.
It comes up from time to time and can be a rather divided topic within the suggestion forum. I personally do not want to see a sex change scroll that would allow you to change the sex and then be able to breed according to the newly assigned sex (IE You have two males, you change one of them to a female and then you would be able to breed the male to the female). I'd rather not see this for a couple of reasons:
First of all, it could probably involve having to recode a fair amount of the breeding/display system which I think could be better spent adding new features rather than recoding a system that works perfectly fine the way it is. The reason I say it could involve a fair amount of recoding is depending on how the lineage is stored in the database the system could have a fit over trying to figure out how to display the parents when one of them has been sex changed so they are now the same sex since there is no longer a male and a female parent to display first and second.
The second reason I don't like this is because it would remove some of the challenge involved in breeding since sex is the only thing you can't change and something should remain static. You can change color by using a scatter scroll and you can ensure the hatchlings are of a particular element by breeding it in the appropriate nest
I'd personally prefer to see a cosmetic change (changes the image to the opposite sex, so your male dragon displays a female dragon image, but he is still a male dragon so he still can only breed with females so the breeding pool for him doesn't change). Alternatively if there wouldn't be a coding issue like mentioned above (or there were additional restrictions like must never have been bred to avoid the entire potential coding issue) and it actually changes the sex then that individual becomes unbreedable.
Edit: Another possibility is a gender skewing item that can be applied to a nest and influence the odds of getting a particular sex. There could be two items, one for each sex

This is a very diversely discussed topic.
If you want a sex change scroll (so that you can breed the dragon) it would likely break the game coding wise. If they code in all the restrictions to even make it possible it would break the economy.
If you just want an optical change (a male sex dragon looking like a female) then a pose change scroll is usually supported.
Basically though you can assigne a dragon any gender you want since gender isn't bound to any physical form. So you can just stat in the dragons bios what and who they are.

Sorry No we can't.
1. It would remove one of the static elements of the game that would take from the challenge
2. It would in essence break the game.
3. The Administration has already stated NO.
We have no plans to release an item like this.

4. Since you used the word "GENDER" over the word SEX there is a way to change the "GENDER" of a dragon by putting something in the dragon's bio.
5, As far as changing a male into a female or a female in to a male for breeding purposes see the above 4 reasons why not.

@Twistymisty You can change your dragon's gender by stating its gender in its bio
