Quests & Challenges

[center][font=times][size=4]After finding success with my first breeding project, I've decided I want to take on something a bit more challenging. I love me some beautiful colors. Here, I will showcase my attempts at breeding the color combos that I want. If there's a gem gene involved, I'll try to get that through breeding, but the relatively cheap genes I'll slap on the finished product at the end. (saves time and a lot of headaches) There's no rules to this, it's just me experimenting with scries and having fun. [b]If you have any suggestions, tips, or spy a dragon fit for my current project, don't be afraid to ping or PM![/b] -------- [font=times][size=5][u][b]The beginning of it all...[/b][/u][/size] [size=4]On the 1st of October, I finally hatched my dream babe. Before beginning the project, there were no dragons on site with those colors, but now there are several. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45667812] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/456679/45667812_350.png[/img][/url] I'd been pining over that color combo and finally hatched the perfect female after multiple one-off hatches and several brothers born with the exact colors. Her original genes were going to be Iridescent / Shimmer / Lace , but I'm kind of liking the Savannah so we'll see... Now I'm getting cocky; fight me RNG!

[center][font=times][size=4][b]here's the goal:[/b] [img]http://flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=151&bodygene=13&breed=8&element=6&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=109&tertgene=12&winggene=2&wings=151&auth=879d3f9c9846e3e40c6950c10eda81423f723aa1&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [b]Phthalo Petals / Phthalo Stripes / Bubblegum Stained [/b] I'm beginning to realize how underrated Stained is! Never thought I'd like a dragon with Bubblegum. I've fallen in love with this scry so now I must have it. As of now, there are 7 dragons with this color combo. ------- [font=times][size=4][b]start date:[/b] October 18, 2018 [b]dragons bought:[/b] 3 [b]dragons hatched:[/b] 20

[center][font=times][size=4]Searched the AH for potential and it's not the greatest, but I wasn't looking for a super easy project. [i]Let's go![/i] As Imperial scrolls are not readily available, I'm only buying Imps. In addition to that, I'm looking dragons that already have Phthalo Petals if at all possible. Gem genes are hecka expensive. I snagged this guy as the best male. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45920118] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/459202/45920118_350.png[/img][/url] His tert is definitely not ideal, but it was the best I could find.

@LiNaan I just searched the AH too to see if there was anything new added, and first of all: you’re right, this isn’t gonna be easy finding mates, lol. But! I did find this girl. Their bloodlines are far enough removed to mate, and she has petals. She doesn’t have stained, but she’s got a gem gene so if you’re just trying to narrow down the tert range or something she could be a good option. Same thing for secondary: she has a gem gene, so it should be fairly easy to breed down to stripes (or just buy that gene). Their primary and secondary range is really good! 4 possible colors for the primary (including phthalo, of course), two possible secondary colors (not including phthalo, one off :/ ), and a wide tert that does include the pinks. I just figured I’d show her to you! Good luck! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45428507] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/454286/45428507_350.png[/img] [/url]

@JiminxYoongi - Ooo, thanks so much! I was struggling to pick a female but this girl seems pretty spot-on! (or as spot-on as I can be at this point in the project haha)

We have our first breeding pair~ :D

[center][font=times][size=4]Hatched these two bois. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=46912165] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/469122/46912165_350.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=46912166] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/469122/46912166_350.png[/img][/url] I'm liking the second one a bit more than the first. Browsed the AH looking for potential mates for them and spotted this gal. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=46508498] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/465085/46508498.png[/img][/url] ...but she's so expensive! D: I'm cringing as I think of spending that much on one dragon... but then again, she's pretty spot on, colorwise... Ahhhh, help!!

[center][font=times][size=4]Hatched these four dergs from Caladorn and Nathalia. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47951537] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/479516/47951537.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47951540][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/479516/47951540.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47951539][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/479516/47951539.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47951538][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/479516/47951538.png[/img][/url] The first and last gal is pretty close! But I've browsed the AH and all potential mates are like 100g. *sigh*[/font][/size][/center]

[center][font=times][size=4]Got this guy on the AH for 25kt! his wings are so pretty [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=46331685] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/463317/46331685_350.png[/img][/url] Gonna breed him to Erina from the last litter [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47951537] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/479516/47951537_350.png[/img][/url]

[center][font=times][size=4]These pairs are currently nesting with Ice! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45920118] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/459202/45920118.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=45428507][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/454286/45428507.png[/img][/url] Caladorn + Nathalia [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=46331685] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/463317/46331685.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=47951537][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/479516/47951537.png[/img][/url] Kahu + Erina Definitely excited about what they'll produce ~

[center][font=times][size=4]So... Caladorn and Nathalia produced some trash babes that are useless to this project. I mean, I didn't expect anything great out of this pair since they're so far off of the target colors, but I bred them just in case. These babes are all going to be exalted in the future. [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48970061] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/489701/48970061.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48970060][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/489701/48970060.png[/img][/url][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=48970059][img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/489701/48970059.png[/img][/url] On the other hand, Kahu and Erina's first nest was great! Produced some really close babes, so I'll be hanging onto them.
