I'm setting up a challenge for myself, along the lines of the ugly to beautiful and basic to gened challenges. The goal will be to start with a basic, plentiful dragon and to end with a dragon with of a rare breed with rare genes.
Here are some of the rules I plan to follow:
- Start with 20kt spending money to buy your starter dragons.
- Buy a triple basic dragon of your least favorite plentiful breed.
- Find your new dragon a mate! That mate must have a primary or secondary color from the opposite end of the color wheel. For example, if your initial dragon has a pink primary, it should find a mate with a green primary, etc. (I'm going a bit broad with the range here, at most 10 away from the exact opposite colors) You only need to do this complete swap for one of these two colors, the other is completely of your own choice!
- Breed your new dragon pair once and choose an 'heir' from the hatchlings.
- Find your new dragon a mate with a primary or secondary color at the opposite end of the color wheel.
- Earn more money for future dragon mates by selling/training and exalting spares or parents.
- The goal is to have a rare breed dragon with rare genes by the end... that doesn't look terrible!

Meet Afar, my starting dragon. He's a triple basic Mirror with Sky/Bronze/Leaf. He was purchased for 7kt and is luckily ready to breed!

That left me with 13kt to shop for a mate. First I had to determine what was at the opposite end of the color wheel from Afar.

In this case I decided to swap the primary, which made the exact opposite of Sky Tarnish and Ginger. Searching in close range of those colors, I found Cookie, whose primary is Latte, which is just 7 away from Ginger on the color wheel. I purchased her for 10kt, which leaves 3kt in the bank.

The nest hatched yesterday with two triple basic Mirrors. I'll have to try again with one of these two to see if I can get any genes! I'll swap between them and put one or the other up for sale each day. If they don't sell, I'll decide between them and train the other one up when they become adults and exalt it.

I opted to keep the younger of the two Mirrors, Jasmine.

When he came of age I trained her brother and also her mother. They were exalted, adding 20kt to the bank, which put the bank total at 23kt. After that I checked the color wheel, shopped around and purchased a brand new mate for Jasmine, Ali.

Ali is Rust/Vermillion/Cerise to Jasmine's Denim/Tangerine/Banana. He also has common genes, so hopefully their kids will pick up something!
I actually put the two of them on a nest a while ago. Their nest of 3 eggs hatches tomorrow!

Yasmine was paired with Jay (8kt), whose primary color, fire is at the opposite end of the color wheel.

Lex was 10kt. He has a opposite secondary color, Flaxen to Zandra's Shadow. It will be a while before I am able to put the two of them on a nest. In the meantime I'm going to try to sell Jay and Salene.
