Questions and help, please??

Is there someone out there that can use maths better than I can? I'm really confused now because I am trying to see what I am missing. Are alts counted in the running dragon count type? And if so, then just how many dragons are there in the cave now? I've lost track again. My scroll says I have 276 unique breeds, but I was told there were 274 breeds. Also, when is the egg/dragon counted towards the total? When it is stolen or when is it successfully grown?

Anyone having any luck with the new breeds? I've managed to breed the new Nilia Alt and the Royal Purple Alt. Sending out good vibes to all.

Okay this helps so much and I understand why I have the spread of dragons I do since I was just going off the clock on the site.

Now I can help the bestie, who I just dragged in DC with me, get her day/night dragons and better time my own sets to fill out my scroll. Thank you so much for all your help!!

You're welcome! And be sure to invite your friend to the comm, too; we're always happy to help new players here.

Probably the most "math-y" thing to work out is bred times, since the others are provided on the page to you. For bred time, one has to remember that all eggs have 7d,0h when first bred, and then figure out from the Time Left when that would be.

For example, say I pick up a Solstice egg with 3d,5h from the AP at noon Cave Time, and want to know if it's going to be a bluewing or rosewing Solstice. 3d,5h + X = 7d,0h? X= 3d,19h - the egg was bred 3d,19h ago. To find the time of breeding, I would count back 3d,19h from noon of the day I picked it up.

However, since I all really need to know for a Solstice is whether it was bred during DC "Day" or DC "Night," I can ignore the days (counting back 24h will just put me back at noon) and just count back the 19h. 19 hours before noon would be 5PM, so the Solstice will hatch as a bluewing!

I did! She works a ton but she subscribed to the comm. So I'll probably still be a go-between as I work less even though we are at the same place.

Also, ugh Algebra. LOL! But understandable. So after we clear up some space from this release, we will work on the day/night types. Thanks again for all your help!

Not really algebra, but I'm borrowing some algebra "designs" for simplicity... So it's fake!algebra in base 12. Eeek!
