Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) I used Search and didn't find anything like this, though I found one somewhat similar, asking about Vampire Bite success. So, my question is.... How many eggs do you usually get per Holiday breeding? As I understand it, you can get anywhere from one to four eggs per Holiday breeding. So, how is your luck with that? EDITED TO CORRECT!

Posted December 18, 2011 (edited) Ohhh! Guess I was reading an older guide. There, that should make it more correct, I hope. Edited December 18, 2011 by Raun Share this post Link to post
Posted December 18, 2011 It's almost impossible to not at least four, max five. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 18, 2011 Any time I breed for holidays, I get four eggs. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 18, 2011 I'm not sure what Ashes is thinking, but it's impossible to get more than 4 eggs in one breeding. My holiday dragons generally give an average of 2. My Snow Angels gave more eggs than my Yulebucks last year, over all. If I remember right I got a total of 3 Yule eggs from my 2 Yules and 5 or 6 Snow Angel eggs. From talk around the forum and IRC, I got the impression that Hollies gave the average of the fewest eggs, and Snow Angels the highest average. That's rather opposite of what we'd like to see, since more people have Snow Angels, and few people have Hollies. Share this post Link to post

I don't have any Holidays to breed at the moment, so I am mostly asking out of curiosity. Thank you for the input, Fiona. I couldn't really find anything about the holiday breeding directly (just that you can only breed them for their own species during their holiday) so I was curious. Share this post Link to post

Posted December 18, 2011 It's almost impossible to not at least four, max five. Weelllll Two of my pumpkins were stubborn. One did not produce and the other only threw one egg. Last year, my Yules did not produce any eggs either. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 18, 2011 I'm not sure what Ashes is thinking, but it's impossible to get more than 4 eggs in one breeding. Ashes may have gotten confused due to the issue that went on the past Halloween where bred holiday eggs were auto-abandoning from the scrolls of the people who caught them. From what I could tell TJ resolved the issue by making more eggs from the clutches in question, so that the scrolls that lost the eggs as well as the new scrolls they were on, all had eggs from the same clutch. I've seen one that has come from what is now a 7 egg clutch, but was probably initially a 4 egg clutch. My last years Snow Angel results are: Dragon 1 produced 1 egg only. Dragon 2 produced 2 eggs.

Posted December 18, 2011 Last year - Yulebuck gave 4, year before 3 Last year- Snow Angel only gave 1. Share this post Link to post
Posted December 18, 2011 Each of my Christmas dragons has 1 Christmas offspring. Halloween was higher, each dragon having 3-4 eggs. Of course, that egg trade glitch during Halloween led to my pumpkin having 8. Share this post Link to post

Posted December 19, 2011 Hey, I have a different question. Sorry if wrong thread. As there's a limit of 2 christmas dragosn per scroll - do eggs get auto abandoned? Share this post Link to post
Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) This marked my first year of actually breeding holidays because I only just started getting holiday dragons last year. My stats so far: Marrow x stripe = 1 egg Marrow x stripe = 3 eggs Pumpkin x pygmy = 2 eggs @ above: If you have two holiday dragons and breed them, you can select up to one egg to hold onto. That egg will remain on your scroll for a max of 30 minutes before it's auto-abandoned too if you don't rehome (i.e. teleport) it to someone else. The rest will auto-abandon upon breeding. Oh, and this applies to just personally bred eggs. I believe you can't pick up holiday eggs from the AP if you're already at your limit. Hope that helps.

Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) Hey, I have a different question. Sorry if wrong thread. As there's a limit of 2 christmas dragosn per scroll - do eggs get auto abandoned? The limit is per type. Next year, you get to keep 2 of that new dragon as well. When you breed for Holidays, you usually breed more than one per clutch. Note: this is usually, not always. You have to choose an egg to "keep". If you already have 2 of that type, this egg will only be kept for 1/2 hour so you can give it via teleport to someone during that time. If you only have 1 of that type, you can continue to keep that egg, it won't auto-abandon if you only have 1 already. Any other eggs than the one you keep will auto-abandon the instant you choose which one to keep. The one you keep for 1/2 hour will auto-abandon at the end of the half hour, if you haven't given it away by that time, if you already have 2.

Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) I first joined just before Christmas 2009 (although I was too slow to get any CB Snow Angels), so last year was my first year to breed Holidays...

Posted December 19, 2011 my snow angel i just released gave me 4 eggs. and can i just say this lag is ridiculous. =/ something should really be done about it because i have a good computer but i've yet to be able to pick up 1 egg (not even holidays). then again i'm sure several other people out of the 900+ users on the same probably also have nice computers, if their's aren't lagged by the over all 2,000 users access the servers and databases at one time.

Posted December 19, 2011 My two goldwings gave me two and three eggs, my ribbondancers gave me three and four eggs, and my yulebuck gave two eggs this year (another yet to be bred). I'd say it was pretty good. Share this post Link to post
