Oh thank you! I have been afraid to get rid of anything because I didn't want to do something I'd regret later when I'm in the "know". I appreciate your prompt reply! I'm going to go experiment now. Tee hee!

That's how I was for the longest time! Then they finally updated it where it shows with those bars if they have a use. It is SUPER helpful ^0^ You can also check the game database and it will show the uses for items too :3

building your alchemy level at the Brew is a great idea. sometimes it's the only place to get something unless you want to pay though the nose for it. Speaking of, if there's anything you need, for the ingredients and brewing cost, I'm happy to brew whatever you want.

Baby feed back: someone will always desire everything. LOL So first batches and experiments are great. My advice it to go on the dragon asking forums and see what people are asking for, and trying to get into that. But new breeds and genes are a must. anything 'matchy' is a must. Since you're breeding in Ice, I suggest sticking with whites, greys, blues, and blacks. Though eye color doesn't always matter to me, it does matter to a lot of players on FR. I also suggest exalting the unmatchy babies (don't worry, they're just pixels) and making some money to invest in dragons off the Auction House that have gem genes, which more people desire. Although I have some mixed gem/market gened dragons that I love. The biggest thing: don't breed for the fickle tastes of FR. Breed what makes you happy!

Final note: I've got two extremely adorable couples on nest for the Winter Egg trade and I will have a LOT of left over babies. I'll be offering winter themed babies on Sunday! It is too late to join, but they have one with the change of seasons! You can be added to the pinglist, and join in next time.

My mixed gene wonderkind: Capra. I love him.

Wow! That is a lot of helpful information! I really appreciate that. I think I'll have a look at your lair. I am beginning to notice the more expensive dragons are indeed the shiny crystal/gem types. And dark. Very dark. I've picked up some amazing sets in hopes of recreating them. I absolutely LOVE this pair:

Your Venus reminds me of my memorial dragon for my mom. Let me know when they hatch, I have a special love for spirals. :)

So sorry for the ping but I just had to show off this beauty I just hatched OMG! I've never had a hatch this amazing before 😍 I'm in love! XXY and the Arcane eyes match the Tert color 😭 It's basically the Glitch Subeta colors lol!

:o He is perfect! I love him too! The eyes even match, wow (usually Arcane eyes are such a curse and I'd know, being in Arcane lol). Congrats! :D Do you have gene plans for him yet?

Lemme show off my lucky Nocturne hatch too...I finally got the radioactive baby of my dreams! 💚 (Now I can't figure out what to do with him though. I have several scries on his page ranging from "I already have most of the gene scrolls for this" to "I don't want to buy gems but for this guy I'd make an exception", but I'm not sure I actually prefer the more expensive genes even though they're usually my favorite. I just can't decide! I don't even know what to name him yet.)

freakin' cool! I love him to bits! I'm probably the only one, but I'm lovin' number 2, the spotty ridgie!

I got a XXX Copper to Pharaoh. I just have to get emotionally ready to spend 1500 gems.. LOL

Ooh, that looks fantastic! stares at that primary, wondering what it is OH! NEW GENES, I didn't see the news! Those are amazing...of course they're gem genes, ugh. Totally worth it for that derg though!

Thanks! I'm actually leaning toward that one myself, but it's so hard to commit...

Wow, a Glitch baby, congrats, so cute! <3

That's a beautiful color scheme and with new genes, wow! <3

I tried the new genes in scry yet all my draggies look kinda blackish with it, LOL Glad to read you! Is all okay? <3

It is really dark, some of the lineart gets lost in it. I'm having a hard time fully appreciating Sarcophagus but Pharaoh looks pretty nice. I think these are the kind of genes that will be just right for certain dragons in certain colors but may not have as much universal utility as others.

I am good, thanks! 💚 I just have an unfortunate habit of going radio silent for no particular reason sometimes 😅

Then I hope you switch on the tune now, LOL! <3 Great HA by the way!

Okay, I am looking more into Pharao as a single gen, then!

Lol I'm not musically-inclined enough for tunes but you might get a little more chatter out of me. XD

Thank you! Gotta love the ability to mismatch shoes now!

Yeah, like I was just playing around with one of my dergs and this looks awesome to me: but this (with Sarcophagus) is too much...dark blob But hey, if dark blob is what you're going for, it's perfect!

Chatter is okay, too, LOL More going for pastels, you know me..... :-)

Yeah, that's pretty much the opposite of these genes lol

I tried it yet they all went completely dark, LOL

Using Stained in a light color works to lighten it up a bit...this Ivory/Ivory/Rose is kind of nice...

It's beautiful - yet utterly expensive then, LOL

Well, yes. X'D But I wasn't likely to buy the new genes anyway for that reason, it's too much regardless of the tert lol

The idea to combine it with Stained is genius, though!
