Day 7

[alicit]

The new egg is dropping in the Volcano:

This plain-looking egg has faint speckles.

ETA: I have clicked on the Breed action of the new Bloodscale dragons (mine just grew up), and the old Splits appear on the list, yay!

Got my two! Whew, I'm glad that's over. Now I need to try to trade for one more each of the Red and Green coppers. I can probably catch the others, but the coppers look to be rare.

[dancing_serpent]

Got one, have to wait one/two more hours until my coppers hatch, then I'll try to get another. I hope I'll be able to catch another red and brown copper today, too.

[alicit]

I generally try to collect three CB pairs of each breed, so I still need at least another week to get all the eggs I want - more with 3 different copper eggs.

[alicit]

I got my daily three, plus the last of my copper eggs is due to hatch in seven hours. I'll try to catch another copper then. There's a lot of talk about the coppers being rare, I sincerely hope they are not.

[dancing_serpent]

Argh, please no. I already have enough trouble catching rares as it is.

[codyne]

I try to get two CB pairs of each breed, so I still have some collecting to do, too. But I think I'll just try for one pair of each color of coppers for now.

Ah! Quote from Fiona Bluefire on the rarity of the coppers:

"I"m just going to go on record now and say these are not classed as rares. They were never intended to be rare, despite what some think they remember seeing. They were intended to be fairly common (not cave blocker common) and I checked with TJ to make sure I was allowed to say that THEY ARE NOT RARE! Cuz they're not. A bit uncommon, maybe.

I can't control how hard they become to catch due to popularity, but they are not gold/silver rare."

Whew! That's a relief!

[dancing_serpent]

Oh, good to know! Thanks - I'm a lot more relaxed now.

[alicit]

Definitely a relief! But I'll still try to catch them as soon as possible.

[dancing_serpent]

Haha, yeah, my first just grew up, too - and that's the first thing I tried, as well.

So excited that the Splits can be bred with something other than each other *finally*!

Am trying to catch one last Plain Looking one for my mom since she's egglocked, but I've got one last copper that refuses to hatch. *kicks it*

I still need one last green copper (oy vey) and to find some time/space to breed Hell Horses. Thank goodness I went on a Horse spree when they first came out and needed CB Hellfires for a metal lineage way before this. :)

[ragdoll]

Oh, that's great to know! I just hope they're not Blusang Rare either. I swear those are harder to come by now than Silvers or Golds!

[alicit]

I am afraid that, being spread through all the biomes, getting them will be more difficult than if they were all in one place. I tried today for two and a half hours and didn't even see one. The Coast is still blocked, TJ doesn't seem to understand that to make this biome more dynamic, what he needs is to reduce the amount of caveblockers, either change the ratios so they are not so abundant, or move some of them so they show somewhere else too; the Jungle moves slightly faster, but I didn't see any Coppers. The Desert is as fast as usual, but no Coppers there either. Today's new eggs are falling in the Volcano and, though there are other eggs mixed with the new ones, not a Copper to be seen. No luck in the Forest either (very slow) or the Alpine biome so, in the end, I just grabbed another of the new eggs.

Also, the lag! It improved slightly after I installed the add-on "NO Google Analytics" for Firefox, but it was still annoying.

[ragdoll]

Ugh, yeah, that's probably going to be the problem over all. I just tried to look for one for my mom (we just swapped a Day 7 egg for her sole green one), and didn't see one anywhere. The coastal area was moving a bit -- saw several black caps and several saltys, but I got her another Day 7 in the Volcano area since I don't have much patience today.

I hope that, if nothing else, the Coppers might yield different colors when bred, kind of like the Stripes or the Dorsals. Otherwise...ugh. Nightmare.

I'll try the No Google Analytics on my FF too.

The cave is lagging like no one's business though. I can't even check my scroll without having to wait like 15-30 seconds between refreshes. *kicks it*
