As if I didn't have too many challenges to do already, here I am with another crazy one! The Extreme Patience Breeding Challenge. I'm ready to be broken...let's go!

This challenge was originally proposed by @/CelestialPrime in this thread, and I really like the idea so I asked their permission to jazz it up a little and here we are!
The Extreme Patience Breeding Challenge
(aka Breed out the Basic)
1) Choose an all basic dragon of a plentiful breed (mirror, fae, tundra, or guardian)
2) Choose a mate for them with a common breed and all common genes (there is a rarity guide in this thread [edit 12/2019] but it hasn't been updated for a while. Please tell me know if you know an up-to-date one!)
3) Breed them until you get a hatchling with the common breed and all three common genes. No more basic/plentiful!
4) Keep track of your frustration by earning Patience Points (PPs?) for every failed hatchling. See the next post for the scoring system.
5) Suffer OwO
The probability of succeeding this challenge is 0.81%, which, honestly?, is ridiculous. I have an incredible respect for anyone who attempts this wild goose chase with me.
2) Consider picking a pair with a very wide color range to make it less boring, or choosing a pair with a color range that will make a lot of beautiful hatchlings!
3) DON'T TRY TO KEEP ALL THE FAILURES! Your lair will fill up faster than you can keep up with. Don't feel bad about selling or exalting dragons!

Tips
1) Take time picking your parent dragons. Choose breeds, colors, and genes that you like. You'll be seeing them a lot over the course of this challenge and you don't want to get sick of them.2) Consider picking a pair with a very wide color range to make it less boring, or choosing a pair with a color range that will make a lot of beautiful hatchlings!
3) DON'T TRY TO KEEP ALL THE FAILURES! Your lair will fill up faster than you can keep up with. Don't feel bad about selling or exalting dragons!
The next order of business is the scoring system. It is as follows:
Quote:
Scoring Patience Points
For every hatchling:
Note: every hatchling before the winning one counts!
1 point for the basic/plentiful breed
1 point for each basic gene
2 points for the common breed
2 points for each common gene
Also: 5 points for a nest with only 1 egg, because that is the worst!
For every hatchling:
Note: every hatchling before the winning one counts!
(aka, winning hatchling and any hatched after it don't add to the score, but ones hatched before it in the same nest do!)
1 point for the basic/plentiful breed
1 point for each basic gene
2 points for the common breed
2 points for each common gene
Also: 5 points for a nest with only 1 egg, because that is the worst!
