Board Thread:Dragon Story Breeding/@comment-27957947-20180607064502

After feeding my first dragon up to level 15 (finally😄), I am ready to branch out into Primes.🎉

My newly level 15 Diamond Dragon needs a mate or two. Just did a bunch of research on pairings, food costs, etc., and have narrowed the main contenders down to two: Flamingo and Dark Omen. I need opinions, please! Here's the pros and cons:

Flamingo •Flamingo is the cheapest of my black/pinks to feed •Flamingo X Diamond has a large number of Prime offspring: Power, Loyal, Magic, Eternal, and Void. •It can produce all of the black/diamond hybrids (I have none), plus Beryl, Anubis, and Angel. Goblin and Pixie, too. •It has a lot of long fails: Bubble, Titan, Moon, Wizard, Peumbra, and more. Ick. But, also lots of low-timer super rare fails for trading. •The longest common fails are Luck(17) and Charm(16). Not great. •Food Cost: 304,500 (currently level 10). Ouch.

Dark Omen •My Dark Omen is already level 12, so the food costs are much lower than Flamingo- only 178,000. •The trade off is Diamond X Dark Omen has far fewer Prime offspring: Energy and Eternal. On the plus side, these are two of my favorite Primes. •The combo can also produce all the black/diamond hybrids, plus Beryl, Anubis and Illusion. •Longest common fail is Mist (14). Not bad. The others are 10 hrs. or less. •Not as many long fails as Flamingo (and at least Social is a super rare, unlike many of the long Flamingo fails) •Clown fails for trading

Looking at the pros and cons, they seem pretty evenly matched. My favorite Primes are Energy, Void, Eternal, and Life, so basically both parings offer two Primes I really want. And, of those, Eternal will be damn near impossible to breed. The rest (Power, Loyal, etc.) would just be for collection purposes. Neither Flamingo nor Dark Omen will do much in the Arena, so that's not a consideration.

Other dragons I've been looking at are Curio (already level 14) for Prime Energy and either Leaf or Seeker for Prime Life. Need some Prime Chrono breeding ideas, too. Whichever dragon(s) are chosen, it's gonna take a lot food, so I want to do this wisely.

Any suggestions/recommendations/opinions/sharing of experiences would be greatly appreciated!
