just in ur personal opinion do u care a lot about the genes your dragons have being rare and expensive or do you just care more about what they look like on the dragon . i usually dont care that much but i just tend to find the rarer and more expensive genes look better anyway

i care more about what looks nice on the dragon, unfortunately what i think looks best usually happens to be expensive

This!! Most of my dragons have iri/shim because those genes look really nice with my favorite colors, and that makes most of my g1s very expensive. I'd be a lot happier if they cost treasure :')

i really just ball it sometimes what i want for a dragon looks good but is expensive its truly a curse

I try to go for what looks best- and I specifically avoid even trying gem genes unless it's a very special derg. I like having money lol
I just do whatever. I’m very malleable on any plans I have and I absolutely do not have memorized what’s a treasure gene and what’s a gem gene. If I wanna use sarcophagus but find out it’s running for over 1kg—and I don’t have 1kg on hand—yeah, I’d be open to using trail or something instead.

This. Absolutely this. Most gem genes just look so nice, which is why they are gem genes I suppose.

It's more important that it looks good then how much it costs, but sometimes this means paying 1.5kg for a gene instead of like 150kt for a cheaper but similar version :'] I make a point to not allow for too many gem genes on one dragon though, because like others have said, I do like money. The dragon has to be particularly special to make an exception, although I'll admit I make more exceptions during NotN then I do the rest of the year haha

precisely this, haha. no substitutes here, if the best thing also happens to be the most expensive thing then so be it [emoji=skull size=1]

It's always about what the dragon looks like, and how much the genes cost is secondary. It literally does not matter if you've got a triple gem gened dragon if none of it actually looks good or is coordinated well together. Granted if I'M gening a dragon or doing a scry for someone else I'll generally try to avoid using gem genes as much as possible to cut costs.
There are no "rare" genes, not in the sense that only a few dragons have them from a one off event or something. That's not really something we really have here strangely enough. Even the coli and swipp genes. They all become highly bred and readily available to most fairly quickly. Rarity really only means something during breeding.
