Posted November 21, 2014 I've been trying to pair up some of my mateless dragons and I'm running across a recurring issue--misgendered spirals like this fellow. To continue the pattern he should've been a girl and now I don't know what to do with him. I have a bunch like this that I really want to breed but I don't want to destroy the pattern. What type of shape looks best paired with this type of line? I have seen some like this carried on by breeding with another CB female, then breeding the next two generations with CB males, etc. I don't have an example right now to link you to, but I'll see if I can find one somewhere on my scroll.

I've seen a few like that, so I might try that. Has anyone tried mirroring them? I think mirrored stairs look really great, but I'm wondering if mirrored spirals just look messy, haha.

Posted November 22, 2014 They look interesting in my opinion, but I can't find the one I have right now. Share this post Link to post
Posted November 22, 2014 Here is a mirror spiral that I mocked up to see what it would look like. It is two 8th gens combined. http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...en=8&mate=NeMJf Share this post Link to post
Posted November 23, 2014 also might be helpful? I'm not sure if this is exactly what they'd look like but... https://i.imgur.com/Skx1CAH.png https://i.imgur.com/yW8rNCF.png Share this post Link to post
Posted November 25, 2014 Hmm, the shorter mirrored one looks a little strange, but I really like that 8th gen one. I think I'll have to try them both. Thanks so much, guys! Share this post Link to post
Posted November 26, 2014 What would one do for a mate for this one? http://dragcave.net/lineage/zItim Share this post Link to post
Posted November 26, 2014 I'd say, trade for one with a similar lineage: Prize breed on the outside, common on the inside, shaped like an arrow. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 I have a quick question, how would I continue this lineage? I'm sorta new and I'm confused about lineages. https://dragcave.net/lineage/YJJ3l Thanks! Share this post Link to post

I'm sorta new and I'm confused about lineages. https://dragcave.net/lineage/YJJ3l Thanks! most people go for one of two patterns if you want an arrow, influence your egg male to get an open pattern similar to this > http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...en=4&mate=HIOpI if you like a pyramid pattern, influence it female to get a closed pattern like this> http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...en=4&mate=YJJ3l Share this post Link to post

What about the stair (?) lineage. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 The problem with a stair-lineage is that your egg is a Shimmerkin not a Shimmer itself. If you want it to STAY a stair you'd have to breed your resulting dragon with a cb, but unless you have ever won a cb bronze shimmer that will break the pattern of Golden Wyvern with Bronze Shimmer mate. It's possible of course. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 Then to continue this lineage, I just breed with a CB male water dragon of the right gender? https://dragcave.net/lineage/45Vhz Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) http://dragcave.net/lineage/a1oya ^I mistakenly made that dragon a girl, and I have been trying to breed a male prize from her to try get the lineage back on the rails. (the first son got rejected. ) Should I keep trying that or just leave it to become a spiral/whatever you would call it? Edit: Thanks! I will think about which one I want. (and yaaaaaaay, I can make it not ugly then.) Edited February 21, 2015 by Lady Dragoon Share this post Link to post

(the first son got rejected. laugh.gif) Should I keep trying that or just leave it to become a spiral/whatever you would call it? Some kind of pattern is going to most visually appealing IMO. So either make it a 'spiral' that switches every fifth gen or a 'spiral' that goes four male prizes, one female, four male prizes, one female, etc. Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 https://dragcave.net/lineage/nwCEi I snagged this egg but am drawing a blank as to what mate to go with and what gender to influence to continue the line. Any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 https://dragcave.net/lineage/nwCEi I snagged this egg but am drawing a blank as to what mate to go with and what gender to influence to continue the line. Any suggestions? I got a White sibling of that Obviously, the chances at acquiring a 3rd gen Prize are rather low. So I was considering making a fake mirror, using a Spessartine instead of the Prize (for color and no gender difference), Thunders instead of the Ices, Daydreams instead of the Whites and Golden Wyverns instead of the Golds. The 4th gen should then be a Daydream, which will probably be the biggest issue when breeding Daydream with a Pyralspite ... Otherwise, find someone whose 3rd gen Prize misgendered and offer them a 3rd gen spiral mate of some sort ... Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 Need some advice.. which two COMMON dragons most remind you of Egypt... if any? I'm going to start a new lineage representing the ancient Pharoahs, but I'm not sure which two dragon species to use... or if I should make it purebred. Share this post Link to post

Posted February 21, 2015 (edited) Black Tea for the cat-like appearance? Likewise, Magi reminds me of the Sphinx. Sunsongs seem to have that god-like demeanor that you'd expect from a Pharao, too, although their biome seems to disagree. I agree with Avarule though, the Spitfire seems to represent its Desert biome quite perfectly. Edited February 21, 2015 by Ruby Eyes Share this post Link to post

For the other, in order: Gold, Lumina, Magi, Black Tea... maybe Brute. Gold x Spitfire would look nice if you could do it (I realize you said common but it would be perfect).

Any suggestions? http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...en=4&mate=nwCEi How does that look? Not quite a mirror, but kind of similar colors. I can breed a sibling of the female gold, though most likely it'll be an ice instead of the gold. Let me know in a pm Egyptian, yeah spitfires and luminas. Two of my luminas happen to be named Opalescent Isis and Iridescent Osiris Edited February 21, 2015 by Tawanda001 Share this post Link to post

Hmm.. for one I'd say Imperial Fleshcrownes: the yellow of their body is like the sand of the desert, and their crowns remind me the headgear of the pharaohs And for the other Black Tea for sure: since the first day they have remined me a sphinx Share this post Link to post
Posted February 21, 2015 Thanks for all of the suggestions. Don't know why I couldn't decide for myself, but I just blanked on the whole idea. I've decided to go with purebred Spitfires. I liked the female Imperial Fleshcrowne as well, but the two shades of blue/green clash with each other. Black Teas have the perfect pose, but their pinkish color just doesn't work for me. Thanks again to everyone who posted. Share this post Link to post
