TOPIC | Unexpectedly rare color combos?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
You ever take on a breeding project and are shocked to learn that a color combo you expected to be decently common is actually extremely rare?

Not necessarily talking about the really outlandish combos that people wouldn't think to deliberately breed, but there's only 9 unexalted dragons on site with Abyss/Obsidian/Abyss, and that... feels like it should be way more in demand. none of them have the eye color I'm looking for either aauuugh

I've even had combos with colors all in the same range or heck, right next to each other, and often times there's less than 50 dragons at most in existence. Have you searched for combos that you feel should be a lot more common than they actually are?

jeremy says hi
@SovereignFives Ooooh, those scries are gorgeous!! Especially that Imp [emoji=imperial love size=1] Thistle's closer to the purple range than the white range but it's honestly the grayscale range combos that always surprise me the most when it comes to rare combos, considering how popular they can be

All the time. Then I make a breeding project or two out of it. :P The latest addition to my long list of dragons I've searched for and gone "Where is this" is Shamrock/Shamrock/Eldritch. Thankfully for me, one was on the AH at that exact moment, and I snagged her for cheap!

It took me 1.5 years and a move to Light for this girl [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=2&bodygene=11&breed=13&element=8&eyetype=2&gender=1&tert=128&tertgene=17&winggene=10&wings=9&auth=955b0d756e1ef4a720408417741984749bfecb2d&dummyext=prev.png[/img] White/black/grapefruit. No clue how many active dragons there are now but there were zilch when I started. Update: I went looking. There are a total of 6 unexalted - 2 of them predate her, neither active. 2 newer active ones were born within the last 6 months. Including exalted ones there have only been 23 ever and one of them was a breeding of mine that produced a male instead.

There are [b][i]zero[/i][/b] active chocolate/cantalope/cyan dragons and only two exalted. Why did I make this scry :(((( [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=56&bodygene=163&breed=22&element=5&eyetype=4&gender=1&tert=89&tertgene=152&winggene=163&wings=171&auth=77f635a43be349a1575f66f650befec2a257b6c6&dummyext=prev.png[/img]

i have a dragon solely dedicated to holding all of my future breeding projects. they're all breeding projects because out of the 32 i've put through dragon search there's only about 3 that have more than one page of active dragons :'D shoutout to this one in particular, which has had exactly zero dragons ever [morphology=2397585] but i'm mostly offended by how few thistle/goldenrod/goldenrod dergs there are. they can look amazing!

you'd think that a simple combination of primary colors, especially pre-expansion ones, would be more abundant, but blue range/yellow/red is stupidly rare. and ofc i needed 3 different breeds of male for my fandragons. fortunately, they're all bred now and i can go back home once mistjam is done!

There are 0 g1s with the colour combo Obsidian/ Moon/ White. Including exalted dragons and progens. Rip my dream dragon that never has and never will exist [emoji=ridgeback deadpan size=1]
