These new breeds are in the Volcano, Coast, and Forest. But that's not all they have in store...

Improved the relevance of descriptions and ordering of results on the help page search. Expanded the Trading History page to show teleports from the last 90 days.

Descriptions that reach a certain threshold of user approval can be seen by others who have opted into seeing "pending descriptions" from their Account Settings. These are the ones that show as "Peer Approved."

The forum software has been updated to the latest version in order to apply important stability and bug fixes. If you encounter anything broken, please post in the Help section.

Fixed an issue that prevented the Pollinate action from loading.

Papillunes from the market are the same as Dorsals or many other breeds with alts: The alt you get is rolled when you purchase the egg. Thus, you may get either variant when purchasing.

Fixed an issue where recent breeds were missing from the Market.

This year's Festival of Eggs has arrived! Eggs created by members of the Dragon Cave community just for the event will pop up in random spots on the site. Click on them and they'll go in your basket. Once you've collected all 48 of this year's eggs, you'll be able to grab any eggs from previous years you don't have yet. The event will run for a full week, ending April 12 at 00:00 ET. Enjoy!

Here at Dragon Cave, I always say that if something is worth doing, it's worth doing twice. Okay, well, I don't always say that—in fact, that's probably the first time I’ve ever said that. But never let the truth get in the way of a good joke, that's what I always say. And so, we've brought back not one, but two of the most highly-rated events in Dragon Cave’s history, according to the single review we have on Yelp. I didn’t even know Dragon Cave was on Yelp, but that's what this cue card I’ve been handed says and I’m just reading it verbatim! Even this sidebar about how I'm reading cue cards verbatim is written on the cue card. Anyway, right: the events. Not only is the highly-immersive RPG “Dragon’s Dilemma” back, in which you take on the role of a poor sod who has found themselves in a bit of a Dilemma involving a Dragon (see what we did there? I hope so, the focus group didn’t quite get it but we spent a lot of money workshopping that name), but we’ve also found the upgraded sprites from our 2020 event sitting around in a dusty box and decided "y'know what? Sure, y’all can have a gander at them too." There may even be some new ones that have been crafted over the last six years (or perhaps we procrastinated and they were actually crafted over the last two weeks—I’ll never tell). Enjoy the return of these events while they last, since they're only around for exactly 24 hours.

Two new eggs, one big, one small. Find them in the forest, alpine, or desert.

Dragon Cave's annual Festival of Eggs is once again nearing. In keeping with tradition, the Festival is open for all to contribute their art too, allowing anyone to send in eggs for others to collect. All submissions must be sent via PM to @Event Art Submissions. The deadline for submissions is April 2. Here's some base guidelines: The egg is the main theme, so you must be able to see the egg in the sprite. Size limit of 50x50px. Images must be submitted in PNG or GIF form. Eggs must be pixel art, which generally means that overall color count is limited and pixels are intentionally placed. Do not use filters or anti-aliased tools such as Photoshop's paint brush. Eggs may be animated, but should not use rapid or flashing effects. Animated PNGs are allowed, but your mileage may vary. The first frame of animation should be identifiable, to accommodate situations where animations are disabled. Semi-transparency is allowed. Images must not be shared publicly before the event begins. Images should not have blank space around the outer edges. Images must use one of the standard DC egg bases (the full-sized dragon base is strongly preferred). Eggs may be rejected for reasons other than those in this post—namely, there will be a general quality bar. This post outlines the most common quality issues. Only one submission will be accepted per-person, unless otherwise stated later in this thread. If you submit multiple eggs at a time your submission will be ignored. If your egg is a specific reference to other media (e.g. a video game, TV show, or so on), clearly identify the reference in your submission. There are a limited number of spots available. Art will be accepted on a first come, first served basis from the moment when the art is deemed to meet all of the above guidelines (that is, if you need to make changes and resubmit, that bumps you to the back of the line). If you would like to avoid some common sources of mistakes, you can try uploading your image to this sprite analyzer. By submitting art to the Festival of Eggs event, you grant Dragon Cave a non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free license to host, use, distribute, modify, copy, display, and create derivative works of your content. You can end this license any time by contacting us, though the art may not be immediately deleted. The license also ends immediately upon notice from us that the art will not be used in the event.

As best I can tell, the forums have sent you several emails in the last several days and your email provider has accepted them. I can't speak to what is done with the emails after they've been handed off, but there are no signs of them being rejected or "bouncing" back.

If you click on "Notification Settings" as the message suggests, there will be a button to enable push notifications in that specific browser. Granting permission is only one part of the process.

Intentionally-killed eggs (via the kill action) count towards egg limits for a full two weeks. This has been the behavior for a very long time.

A new Valentine’s Day breed has just hit the cave! You have three full days to grab them, so make sure to get your fill (the limit is 2) before they leave on February 16 at 23:59 ET.

Expanded the inappropriate word filter.

Fixed an issue with Dragon Cafe that could result in no candy being rewarded after submitting a score.

At midnight ET tonight (when Valentine's breeding becomes available), the holiday candy limit will not reset. This is a one-time thing, and because the event continues through Valentine's Day, you will still be able to receive a full 7 days of candy.

New Valentine’s Day Event A brand new event is now available. Plant seeds in your greenhouse and then cross-pollinate them to swap traits and grow flowers with entirely new combinations. Your greenhouse will be saved and shareable with others after the event is over. Enter the Event Past Events Now Available Several past Valentine's events have returned. Revisit the 2022 Fiona’s Closet, 2023 Candy Delivery, and 2024 Dragon Cafe events for the next week (until 2/15). Playing these games earns candy, which can be used in the Market to purchase Valentine’s event eggs. Past Valentine’s Dragons Available Starting February 8 for seven days (until 23:59 ET on February 14, Valentine’s Day), past Valentine’s event dragons will be breedable. Past dragons may breed multiple eggs, though you will only be able to keep one. There are no limits on how many bred Valentine’s dragons you can have. In addition, the event biome has also made its return, containing all past Valentine’s event dragons. The limit on past dragons from the cave (2) is still in place. You can see your current status on the site help page. As mentioned above, candy earned from Valentine’s events can be used to buy past event dragon eggs in the Market. These market eggs are only available until February 15—once the event biome is gone, they’re gone. New Dragon A new Valentine’s Day dragon will be released at midnight on Valentine’s Day, and will drop for three days (until February 16 at 23:59 ET).

Dragging baubles off of the canvas entirely will remove them.

Holidays 2025 Event: Fixed an issue that could prevent progressing the Day 4 story.

Happy Holidays from Dragon Cave

Holiday Dragon Breeding Past Holiday dragons are breedable from now until December 25 at 23:59 ET. During this time, past Holiday dragons will be able to produce eggs of their breed, and have the potential for breeding multiple eggs (though you will only be able to keep one per pairing). This is unchanged from previous years. The special Holiday biome is again available for the same time period (ending December 25 at 23:59 ET). In this biome, past Holiday eggs will be available. Past limits on cave-based Holiday eggs still apply (the breed limits help page is updated with Holiday dragons during this time to help clarify). Holiday Advent Calendar The Advent Calendar is back, and with it a series of past Holiday events. Decorate cookies, gingerbread houses, wreaths, and trees, or play a number of past games like Frosty Farming, Snow Wars, and Cocoa Rush. New content will unlock each day for the next nine days, so be sure to check in daily. The candy unlocked from interacting with the various parts of the event can be used to unlock additional decoration sets, as well as purchasing past event dragon eggs in the Market. These market eggs are subject to the same limit as eggs from the Holiday biome. New Holiday Dragon A new Holiday dragon will be available starting at 00:00 ET on December 25. It will drop for exactly three days (ending on December 27 at 23:59 ET); after this time it will no longer be available from the cave. There will be a limit of two of these eggs from the cave. Holiday Event This year's holiday event will begin at 12/25 at 00:00 ET (the same time as the new dragon). It will last for seven days, with new content unlocking each day (though there is no penalty for missing any given day—you'll be able to catch right up).

Adjusted the layout of adding dragons to groups on mobile to improve usability. Added an undo button to dragon selection (e.g. creating a group or adventuring) when unselecting multiple dragons.

A fix has been deployed that should ensure push notifications are being properly sent. If you could please confirm that you are now receiving them on your end, that'd be appreciated.
