But... what does CB stand for..? 

 

Cave Born = has no parents listed on its view or lineage page, and no visible lineage link.

 

Like this: https://dragcave.net/view/Sect

If you replace /view/ with /lineage/, it looks like this:

Even Generation (see first page for example)

Basically, the starter generation forms an even line on the right side.

What is this lineage called? https://dragcave.net/lineage/9WAuy

[Ruby Eyes]

I think it would be an arrowhead.

I would consider it an arrow head too but I've seen people calling them "heart shaped" ... its a matter of perspective I think?

 

Though maybe arrow heads are when two staristeps with opposite genders meet? I would call that an arrow head too.

I saw someone asking for a LF lineage on the trades page.  Can someone define LF for me please?

I don't think it refers to a particular lineage. I think they're using LF to mean "looking for". So for example "LF Gold dragons only" would mean "looking for Gold dragons only".

Honorable Mention = the non-Prize prizes from the old christmas raffles.

Known chosen breeds were Hollies (those could be influenced female), possibly a few Frills during their discontinuedness, some alt Blacks, 1 Hellhorse and 1 Soulpeace.

Hello! I came across this pretty lineage and would like to know what it's called

I'd say it is a checker, with the female line being a mirror of the male line. Probably a Mirror-Checker? There might be a more apporpiate name for it, but that's what I see, a Mirror-Checker. Very nice lineage btw, I like it.

This is starting to bother me again there seems to be some dispute about what type of lineage he is https://dragcave.net/lineage/JpzqZ what do you folks think it is?

I'd say stair, braided (I hope you win another prize of exactly the same type so you can actually continue it like that )

 It would be nice if it ever did happen again. I guess like others say everyone has different perspectives on some of these lineages. I was hoping a few others would chime in with their opinion.
I'm currently working on something that should make it so he and his sibling don't cause me another nasty headache and to be able to find different lineages no matter if I'm on my cell or computer.

I always considered this a braided stair: https://dragcave.net/lineage/tDDVo - or how would you call this?

A very advanced braided stair Beautiful for sure!

@Ruby Eyes

Thx

Took me a while, too. I'm actually already there: https://dragcave.net/lineage/6GgM9

But frankly, it looks best at generation 7  ^^

Oh my gosh that is the most beautiful and interesting lineage I've ever seen since being on the game.

[Astreya]

@bluedragon1139

Thx. It is just a pity that the original starter of that lineage messed up the first generation a bit. (I took over at the 4th gen when the Black unexpectedly turned Alt.)

[CaliSparkles]

I have a question about a broken stairstep lineage. I mean.. I guess it's broken, I'm not sure. I'm returning after a long hiatus, and I want to get my dragons cleand up. I saw this one, and I wasn't sure what to do with her. Should I just avoid breeding her?

12th Gen

[Fuzzbucket]

You could try and breed a mirror to make an arrow.

What "SAlt kin" or "salt" or just "kin" is means??? 

sorry if this thread is wrong for my question 

[Ruby Eyes]

SA = Spriter's Alt

kin = their offspring
