<p>@Myrnin7 It's Infinity. </p><p>Use Diamond&Quetzal. It is slightly more difficult since you only have a 50/50 chance. You could also get another Quetzal wasting 32h. Don't use Diamond&Crusader because if it fails and you get another Crusader your stuck for 44h. </p>

<p>@Tialoco congrats. First  time that someone suggest a better combo. The Failtime  of Malachite&Laserlight is only 7h a significant improvement over the Justice&Fuzzy combo. Which by the way also has 3 commons 3,5,8 hours but there is big difference in the times for Rares. </p><p>I can't play the game anymore myself. It crashes before I can even get in but good luck with your Diamond. No doubt you'll have the other 3 easy diamonds soon now that you have your regular diamond. </p>

<p>you can't get  a Quetzal without a Diamond so it was probably something else. </p><p>Better work on that diamond  then. </p><p>Last time I calculated Justice&Fuzzy was the best combo and Dino&Scareceow a close 2nd. </p><p>Justice is easy Virtue&Fire if you don't have him. You will probably get some Love dragons first but they are only 5h. </p><p>Obviously you can use other green/red/yellow dragons instead of Scarecrow. </p><p>the Metal&Goodwitch combo suggested above is one of the better combinations but with an average failtime of 10.2 still much higher than the 8.7 of the Justice combo. </p><p>Note that 'the fewest possible offspring' argument is only valid in the rarity class you're aiming for. Since for a Diamond that is always 1 it is irrelevant. Actually that is not completely true, if you use a 4 type combo with Wizard there 2 possible Ultra Rare offspring (Diamond and Infinity) which is why the Wizard combos rank among the worst possible Diamond combo. </p>

<p>There are  worst things you could have done. Quetzal is one of the easiest dragons to get. As long as you have a  Diamond. Just pair it with Forest.  I would be amazed  if it takes you more than an hour. </p>

<p>Hi Icepick1e, </p><p>I like Diamond&Diamond it's a great combo. </p><p>As for Crusader it's one of the easy ones. Usually takes only half an hour although 2 of my neighbours complained it  took them over 2 hours  ;-) </p><p>Just put Diamond and Fire together. Sell the extra Fires until you get 44 hours on the timer. You should be able to hatch 3 per minute so about 100 tries in half an hour which is on average sufficient. </p><p>See you don't have Infinity.  He is useful in fights against champions. I often  used him in batlle 15 and 20 of the tournament. Use Quetzal instead of Fire in the above combo. You run the risk of  getting another 32h Quetzal but it can't be helped. </p><p>cheers </p>

<p>To breed a plain diamond the number of possibilities is irrelevant. Only the number of diamond offspring is relevant but that is always 1 (with the exception of Wizard breeding pairs which could give you  Infinity so avoid those). </p><p>That said Goodwitch&Metal is not a bad combo with a failtime of 10h14minutes. Still quite a bit more than Fuzzy&Justice which is only 8h15min at the moment or Scarecrow&Mythic at  8h32min </p><p>Most people don't have Goodwitch while Fuzzy and Justice are very easy to get. </p>

<p>@ DreamlandQueen. You're very right most of this thread is not useful at all. People saying I got Diamond using this or that. It's like saying I know great lottery numbers my neighbour used them last week and won big. Do try them!
You're right again when you say it's luck. Any 4 colour combination has the same chance of getting a diamond AND it is the same % each time. (Except combinations with Wizard there your chance is cut in half because you might get Infinity.)
So it may surprise you some combinations are a much better choice than others because they have low failtimes. I'm tired of explaining why but bottom line Scarecrow&Mythic is the best combination with a failtime of just over 8 hours. Fuzzy&Justice has a failtime of just over 9 hours. Almost every other combination has a failtime between 12 and 14 hours. A big difference. Instead of buying 2 lottery tickets per day you can now buy 3 tickets. Each ticket has the same low chance but because you have 3 you just improved your chances by 50%. Say from 1% to 1.5%.
PS. Obviously you can substitute these dragons by similar colour dragons eg. Falling Leaf instead of Scarecrow or Pegasus instead of Fuzzy. </p>

<p>Hi KrystallineInfinity, I agree and disagree. You're right you don't need to know all the calculations behind finding the best breeding combinations. People have done that for you all you need to know is what they are. Unfortunately they are burried between a 1000 post of people saying "I used this or that combo and got a Diamond the first time". It's like saying I have great lottery numbers I tried them last week and won a million. I recommend these numbers to everyone. It would be nice if they were on the Wiki itself but they are not allowed there because... well I don't know why but I remember Hyper ch being banned from the Wiki for revealing too much. Anyway glad you have a Diamond. To prove to you it's not all luck I'll give you the Quetzal combination. It will give you a Quetzal Diamond in probably less than an hour and on average less than half an hour. Just put Diamond and Forest together. You will get a Forest, that's OK it takes only 20s to breed. Just sell it. Put them back together, and again, and again. You can try about 100 times in half an hour. Usually enough. When the counter says 32 hours you know you have him. I would say good luck but you won't need it. If you need more info about other Diamonds contact me directly inside the game. </p>

<p>@Cherrysagewolf </p><p>the number of outcomes is irrelevant ONLY the number of outcomes in the Rarity class your aiming for counts. In case of pure Diamond breeding that number is always 1 (except for Wizard combo's - to be avoided like the plague). </p><p>What really matters is Failtime. Your combo is better than most with a Failtime of 10h 5min but  certainly not the best. Plus Goodwitch is not a dragon that most low level players have. As said  by Knj00 breeding a Diamond is not easy but you can certainly improve the odds (by about 50%  compared to popular combos like Island&Firestorm and most others). </p>

<p>Thanks but I have 3 diamonds already. :-) But you're right Metal&Rising Sun is not a bad combo. Didn't calculate exactly but Commons bring the fail time at 8.5 hours (5+12)/2. Rares and Super Rares will bring the overall failtime above 9h but not a bad alternative. I know there is a common misconception that the number of outcomes is important. It is completely irrelevant. The number of outcomes only matters in the category your looking for. In this case Ultra. Both combos have 1 Ultra a pure Diamond. This is why Wizard combos are such a bad idea. you have 2 Ultras cutting your chance of one specific in half. </p>

<p>You can use any 4 color combination/type you want. Except Heart that doesn't count as a type. The other one you shouldn't use is Wizard. Mega already gave the explanation above. If you get a Diamond using Wizard it will be a pure Diamond 50% of the time but the other 50% it will be an Infinity. Infinity is not as bad as it used to be. Since a few months you can breed with it. So you could use it to get the other Diamond hybrids but NOT a pure Diamond. If you get a Diamond on the other hand it is very easy to get Infinity. In short Diamond is hard enough to get as it is. Don't risk your chance on an easy Infinity. </p><p>The only thing that really counts is how often can you try and how often you can try depends on how long your dragons need to breed on average. A simplified example. If you breed Water and Fire your going to get mostly 20h Magics and a few Rare 11h Tropics and Athletics. But on average it will take you over 18 every time you put them together. Another extreme is Fire and Fire. The only offspring is Fire which takes 10s. In short you need to use a 4 color combo with a low fail time. Best I've found is Scarecrow and Mythic (less than 9h fail time). </p>

<p>use Diamond & Deep (or Mercury  and Night). Fail time is between 12 and 13h only. Can also give you Dark Angel. If you don't have the Astromancer use Leo & Diamond (or gold & Leo). Anubis is one of the fails. Just got 2 of them in a row. Golden rule always go for the difficult ones first, the easier ones show up more often than you like. </p>

<p>No secret. Just consistency. I only have 6 farms so if you have 7 you can add 1/6 </p><p>Before I go to bed I plant Diamondates (5h). During the day I plant Rushrooms  (16 x 1h) and in spare moments (train, watching tv, on the computer) (3h = 18 x 10min) I plant Upgrapes. Set an alarm! This results in </p><p>1 x 800 x 6 = 4800 </p><p>16 x 300 x 6 = 28800 </p><p>18 x 100 x 6 = 10800 </p><p>For a total of 44400. In addition I only do the Food Quest on average a 1000 day. Breeding and evolving will yield 6 dynamite and 6 bombs/day for another 3000 food. A grand total of 48400. Often it's more but I try to make sure it's at least 40000/day. Took me about 3 weeks to reach a million. Anything above 1 million I use to feed Dragons. </p><p>If you have 7 farms the total is 55800. You can increase that number by planting more Upgrapes but for me 3 hours is enough even though it means only 18 harvest or about 6 minutes in play time it tends to get boring ;-) </p><p>@SolomonG </p><p>the Diamond Temple increases your chance to get a Diamond 6 times. Not sure what the chance is but I suspect it's between 1 and 2%. I'm seeing 1 in 9 with the Temple. Hyper ch data seems to suggest closer to 1% </p><p>Boosted Breeding (as far as I know) increases your chance to breed a Rare Dragon but several people have given me negative feedback  on it. </p>

<figure class="article-thumb tright show-info-icon" style="width: 400px"> <figcaption> <p class="caption">3 Diamonds in a row</p> </figcaption></figure><p>After 4 days of Temple Time with Deep and Diamand I got Mercury on Day one next Anubis, Mercury and Dark Angel. Mind you the last three one after the other :-) I now have a nice screenshot with 2 Hybrid Diamond eggs and a Counter that says 23h (=Dark Angel) :-D </p><p>If you're wondering about the food. I'm trying to harvest at least 40000/day, after a while it adds up. </p>

<p>Bottomline you can only gift 3 a day. So whatever list you keep it's only going to get longer. I you have 3 daily gifters stick with them. If you truly want to avoid getting gold you can't give back post something on the gifters wall like: 'Dear neighbour I'm already trading gold with 3 other caretakers so I have no gold to give back. Lotus, maps, info as much as you want' </p>

<p>It takes 18h to do the quest and most of the time you get nothing. When you do get something it's mostly a small gem of any denomination. 6 gemtypes out of 8 are very easy to get. So say you get something once in 3 quest tries then one in four will be marginally useful. So it boils down to a small Onyx or Quartz once in 216 hours or 9 days. </p><p>Unless you've done all the other quests and got all the food you ever need I wouldn't bother. </p>

<p>Actually 3 temples are needed to able to evolve all. You need  to evolve a dragon 3 times to get it to level10 vs only once in the breeding den. Of course you will sell off most of your dragons at level 1 after a while (why keep double). On the other hand you will evolve some to level 4 just to trade them. </p><p>So I guess the reasoning is that after a while it evens out. But I agree that  Evolution time is your most valuable commodity. Never understand it  when I see an Evolution Temple sitting idle. </p>

<p>You need to go to the topic Mining on the Wiki (not the Forum). Type Mining in the search box above right. </p><p>Just above Notes there are 6 photos (currently). It shows only one photo  but you can scrol through it. It's the 6th photo. </p>

<p>@Absback </p><p>I agree that the number of possibilities is a factor in the category in which you want to breed. Eg. If you want a specific Super Rare Dragon and the combo has only 1 Super Rare you have 9% chance of getting it. If there are 3 possibilities you still have 9% chance to get a Super Rare but only 3% of that specific Super Rare you want. </p><p>So when you're gunning for a Diamond it is only relevant if your combo has several Diamond possibilities. </p><p>The Independence combo has a fail time of 10h 6min. Not bad but more than an hour longer than the Dino combo. </p>

<p>@Claire246 </p><p>Congrats with the Prism and as far as the Dark Angel is concerned see below. </p><p>@Absback </p><p>thanks for the tip about Deep. Definitely a good combo the fail time for Deep is 12h 28m versus 16h 09m with Night. I overlooked that one perhaps because I don't  have a Deep ;-) so I'll have to work on that one first. </p><p>Winter is not a good idea I think. The fail time using Water was 12h. With Winter as the  only fail it also is 12h but you could get an Angel and the Fail for Diamond and Light  is only 9h. So better to try to get those seperately using Water resp. Light. Note that since the Blue Moon Dragon is available the fail actually is 12h19min. Of course as long as you don't have a Blue Moon yet you could just as well use this combo since you get the extra chance of a Diamond and if you don't have the Blue Moon yet it's not really a fail. </p>
