A highly-specific request

Posted by: krait

Would anyone happen to have a (named) male CB Black from the pre-Biome days? I'd love to have a 2G offspring from one, paired with a female CB Black from the Alpine Biome, for a lineage project of mine. I'm willing to catch and gift the mate needed if necessary!

Pink Sapphire

2021-06-05T17:11:17Z

Posted by: codyne

Anybody need a Pink Sapphire? I just reflex-clicked one from the AP, when I've already got five, and don't really need another. It's second generation from two blue sapphires.

EDIT: Traded! If I catch any more, I'll put them up for trade, too.

If you have any of these to trade, I'm still looking for:

1 CB Electric egg or female hatchie (to be stunned to turn blue)
2 CB Sapphires (to turn yellow)
Any Cantormaris eggs or white, green, or orange hatchies
Any of the new bred-only Florets
CB new Gemshards (amethyst, aqua, or citrine)

If you don't have any of these, but don't have any Pink Sapphires yet, just offer anything and you can have it.

Market question

2021-05-24T21:50:06Z

Posted by: unbroken_halo

One more question...for now. LOL! What is the trigger to unlocking the eggs in the market? I know it is tied to the encyclopedia, but what exactly does that entail? If the dragon is no longer shadowed on my encyclopedia, should it be unlocked in the market as well? Does each image need to be visible for the market egg to be unlocked? Thanks in advance for any help?

Birthday Dragons, with Spoilers

2021-05-24T13:49:54Z

Posted by: krait

Let's have a post for working out the mechanics of obtaining all the new eggs! I've been editing my initial post a bit, but then I thought it might be better to have an official "here be spoilers" post for anyone who prefers to work things out for themselves.

( SPOILERS and speculation below! )

Where possible I've linked dragons I produced myself as confirmation of breeding/mechanics. Share your discoveries, experiments, failures, and successes in the comments if you're interested in working out these new challenges.

Questions and help, please??

2021-05-23T20:33:56Z

Posted by: unbroken_halo

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.

Sprite replacements announced

2021-05-09T00:49:15Z

Posted by: krait

TJ09 has just announced that all sprites for ten breeds have been replaced, and some breed names have been changed. The affected breeds are:

2011 Holiday Dragons | "Winter Magi" (renamed Blizzard Wizards)
Electric Dragons
Dark Myst Pygmies (renamed Mistlet Pygmies)
Dayglory Drakes (renamed Sunbeam Drakes)
Nightglory Drakes (renamed Moonglow Drakes)
Red-Finned Tidal Dragons (renamed Tideweaver Lindwyrms)
Seawyrm Pygmies
Seragamma Wyverns (renamed Serrati Wyverns)
Soulpeace Dragons (renamed Sophrosyne Dragons)
Two-Headed Lindwyrms (renamed Ciriax Lindwyrms)

TJ's post states that DragCave has severed all ties with the artist who created the original sprites, and that artist has been removed from the site:

The individual in question [...] expressed views which are detestable, and which have no place on Dragon Cave or its community. [...] Let me just take a moment to be extremely clear: There is no room for racism, antisemitism, xenophobia, sexism or any other form of discrimination on Dragon Cave, and there will be no tolerance for people who express such hatred.

( New sprites beneath the cut! )

What am I missing?

2021-03-13T05:52:35Z

Posted by: unbroken_halo

I finally named all the dragons on my scroll and was looking to see which dragons I was missing because this has become like a Pokemon thing of gotta have them all! This lead me to wonder just how many dragons are there, in total? How many are there with the variants that we can get on our scrolls? Mine says 265 unique breeds. I know for certain that isn't all of them because I know I am missing several. Also, are the variants included in the numbers?

Any help in how to acquire said missing dragons would be greatly appreciated. When I can, I've been purchasing some of them from the market but there are several I don't have unlocked, so that's how I know I am missing some. These are the ones, for certain, I know I am missing:

Jester Dragon Hybrid: my dragons all neglected to produce an egg this time when they have done so in the past. I accidentally gave them away thinking I could produce more later. Having no such luck now.

Neglected Dragon: Not even attempting this one yet. It took me forever to even try for my Undead Dragon and now I see there are like a ton of variants for the Undead as well.

Alt Yellow Undine Dragon: So far my dragons have bred only other Greens and the hybrid Amalthean Dragon. Is there a secret to this?

Cantormaris Dragons: Totally missed this release, so all four variants are needed.

Stratos Dragons: Dawn, Day, and Dusk forms are still needed. Or is this a cave time thing like the Nocturne Dragon?

Xenowyrms: Missing Aquilo, Aso, Obidar, and Staterae.

Sakuhana x Silver Herald?

2021-02-15T03:43:02Z

Posted by: krait

Is anyone here looking for a Sakuhana from Silver LunarHerald?

I feel like I saw a post on the DC forums with a familiar name, but couldn't find it again when I went looking today.

I have one I'm happy to give away, but it grows up in six hours so hopefully whoever it was will see this right away!

Valkemarian Tales Event

2020-10-25T19:06:59Z

Posted by: krait

Halloween is here! I did my first round of breeding and trading in the wee hours, and now I'm doing the sprite adventure.

Has anybody solved the mana orb puzzle? I'm stumped and don't have the patience to figure it out by brute repetition.

Can confirm that the first orb is NOT blue, at least. I tried every single 4-colour combo staring with blue before I gave up in disgust, so unless it's custom-set for each player (like the doors) then at least I got that much. :D

New eggs released!

2020-09-22T14:07:07Z

Posted by: krait

New egg alert!!

One new blue/purple egg in the Coast & Jungle, with the description "You hear a soft melody as you approach this egg."

One new green/yellow egg in the Forest, with the description "This egg shakes slightly when taken out of the light."

August Release

This egg reminds you of the night sky. - Alpine

This plain blue egg almost seems to float. - Alpine, Coast, Forest

July Release

2020-07-26T07:46:12Z

Posted by: dancing_serpent

Starlight shimmers across this egg’s iridescent shell. - Alpine.

It almost looks like there are claw marks on this egg. - Desert.

Right now they're flooding and easy to catch by speed clicking, despite the huge number of people in the biomes.

June Release!

2020-06-27T09:07:37Z

Posted by: dancing_serpent

This time on a Saturday, which I didn't expect at all! I had to abandon eight eggs for this, which would have hatched before Sunday morning.

Anyway, new release. Looks like it's six new variants of Xenowyrm. Yeah, the text is exactly the same Mana courses throughout this glassy egg., and there's a differently coloured egg in every biome.

Happy hunting!

ETA: Also, there seems to be a hidden Xeno, too? I'm not so sure about the mechanics yet, but the description is Mana flows like a current through this glassy egg. I caught one from the Volcano, but I've seen it in other biomes, too.

But we all remember the Gusties, right? That was the July release last year, I think, and it turned out TJ made a mistake. So...we'll see if that egg disappears from my scroll and gets replaced with a normal Volcano new release.

I have to admit, I wasn't prepared. I only have four open slots, two more will open in about ten hours. But hey, at least with the hybrids I can take my time. *g*

Five new cave breeds!

The brilliant blue spots on this egg stand out. - all biomes

This soft egg was carefully nestled in feathers and snow. - Alpine

This shimmering egg was hidden far from the others. - all biomes

This tiny egg resembles a seed. - all biomes

This egg’s shell is slippery and clean. - Forest, Jungle

And two new hybrids!

This egg has a checkered shell. - hybrid between Bauta and Blancblack

This pristine egg sits in a clear pool of water. - a hybrid between White and Undine

An aura of serenity surrounds this iridescent egg. - Alpine
This dull egg feels cozily warm. - Volcano (Incubate changes the colour of the egg.)

I woke up just now, so I don't know how easy they are to catch.

Hello, everyone! I'm desperately hunting a Magi egg from the Forest biome for a lineage project; if anyone has one, or spots one and manages to grab it, I'm willing to trade generously for it!

I bred a couple of random 2G metals as trade bait, and if anyone here would like them, just let me know! They are:
2G Silver from male Arcana
2G Gold from Garland

Early this time! I was rooting for next weekend.

This icy egg sparkles with frost. - Alpine
This egg is very large, but light for its size. - Alpine, Desert, Jungle

Right now it's still easy to catch them by speedclicking, haven't seen any old eggs mixing in.

Zombie Question

2019-10-16T15:22:35Z

Posted by: dancing_serpent

If I want to kill five adult dragons, and have both the kill slots and the tombstones available again (still) on Halloween, on which day do I have to do it?

I'm guessing the 18th, but maybe it's the 17th? That counting down days thing always messes with me.

ETA: The 17th was the right date, and I got five Zombies out of 18 attempts.

Surprise for September

2019-09-02T03:46:36Z

Posted by: krait

Two new breeds available in the Coast biome! One pygmy and one (presumably) regular-type dragon.

Regular: Water glistens on this egg's shimmering shell.

Pygmy: This tiny egg is striped and feels coarse.

Both are some combo of pink and blue.

Good hunting, everyone!
