September Release

[dancing_serpent]

Last release before Halloween, according to TJ! Two different eggs, they are found in the Desert and the Coast biomes:

Desert: The air shimmers around this egg, as if from heat.

Coast: This egg is wet from the waves and has bright red stripes.

Interesting how different it is for everyone. I didn't have much trouble catching Bloodscales and Blusangs, but I had no luck at all catching Thunders. All of mine except one have been gifted or traded for.

I mostly hunt on the xx:59h to xx:00h switch. Those first few seconds are the best, there's often good stuff and less people in the biomes. As soon as the clock switches to xx:01h I stop hunting.

I missed the initial blusang release by a day or two, and had absolutely NO luck getting one on my own. I got whatever else came at that time (I think it might've been olives and brimstones?) by myself, but the blusangs were impossible. I was gifted one thanks to New Release Gifting, and then have gotten a few bred ones here and there, but I needed a female CB for a shimmerscale lineage (which still hasn't yielded anything *grumbles*) and didn't have one.

At the time of the Trio eggs, I managed to get one CB Thunder. Had better luck with the magmas and icicles. I still only have one CB Thunder, but thankfully, I don't have any major lineages to worry about there. I do remember the Trios dropping for several days without any other eggs at the time, though.

I find that from :59 to about :01 is a nightmare -- even when there's not a new release, the cave just freezes up and I can't get it to refresh at all. It's like everyone runs there and starts refreshing like crazy and it's impossible to get it to do a bloody thing for me. :-/ I'll have to try a minute or two earlier! Thanks for the tip. :)

I can't catch anything of the trio or blusangs either, luckily I got some in the initial release - that's always my best hope.
Coppers I didn't get that many of during the release, so I can only hope that someday they'll be easier to catch!

I was lucky with the trios, but I remember spending a lot of time, late at night, trying to catch them at my friend's house cos it was over Thanksgiving. Blusangs were just a nightmare. I missed the release by a day or two, then had NO luck. I'm shocked that I found one a few weeks ago and actually caught it. I saw one today along with a copper (Alpine one), but missed them both. Still, proof that they do exist!

I got 2 of each copper during the release, but my mom only had six slots and so she was short, so no greens. Plus she ran out of pinks, so they gendered weird -- both her browns are girls, both her reds are boys, so she can't breed reds either. She as a lot of 2Gs now, but she'd assumed she could find more since TJ was all "oh, you don't have to worry, they're permanent.". Sheesh.
