Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) I also offered on that inbred trade (though I offered 'before' I looked at the lineage: if I had known I was inbred before hand I may not have offered on it, though I only had common CB hatchlings/eggs to offer on it anyway). If per chance I won it (not likely considering the craze right not), I probably wouldn't breed it much unless someone wanted freeze fodder, tbh. Edit: a part of me wonders if the owner even realizes it's inbred, or if it was done on purpose as an experiment? I'd freaking treasure the thing. Inbreds ftw. I already have a lineage in mind, but, that's thinking too far ahead. edit: and would breed it weekly until shimmers become as common as tinsels and less demanded. @TheGrox: Doooo itttttt. Do it! You know you wanna. o3o Edited March 19, 2013 by kiyoura Share this post Link to post

Posted March 19, 2013 Apparently I wasn't quite done spending all my free time toying with lineage charts! Below are my current top picks for breed combinations, including both genders if I like how the Shimmers look with both sprites, or only one if I just like that one. I redid the same chart for all three colors of Shimmer, for comparison. Oh, also, I excluded metallics and holidays this time around. Now, I will go over here and dream...

Posted March 19, 2013 OK, I should I have put in 'unless someone really likes/doesn't care about it being' inbred. I remembered that 'after' I had posted. Yeah. But, I have a feeling that even with shimmers, the majority of people would not want an inbred one for any price... And when it becomes especially common like tinsels and lineages weight more, inbred shimmers would really be unwanted. I sometimes feel that on the forums inbred-ness is more hated than messy lineages. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 I am sooo in love with the Royal Blue x Silver Shimmer lineage. Maybe one day...... *sigh* Share this post Link to post

I sometimes feel that on the forums inbred-ness is more hated than messy lineages. I personally don't care about inbreeds - as long as they are neat lineages (preferably even gens) I don't care. But, a messy? Nuh-uh. It's getting frozen. But then again, all messies on my scroll are frozen. And, to stay on topic, I got a spot for a third gen on a Silver list. Now, I need to find a Bronze spot. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 Inbred Shimmers? I'm tempted. Grox if you do it I would want one just for giggles X3 I'm sure if it was planned inbred like that you'll get people eating out of the palm of your hand Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) I am sooo in love with the Royal Blue x Silver Shimmer lineage. Maybe one day...... *sigh* I knoooooow! I think Silver Shimmer x Royal Blue, Deep Sea, or Coastal would be my dream come true. Oh, or Tri-horn! :-D As for the other colors, hmm... Bronze x Lumina, Ember, f Swallowtail, f Grey, Deep Sea, m Golden Wyvern, or Red Nebula would be my dream Bronze combos... ...and dream Gold combos would be Gold x Terrae, Thunder, Sunsong, f Harvest, or Green. <3!!!

Posted March 19, 2013 Oh man. I just found a stairstep shimmer from Silas with female silver, and ... OMG. So pretty. Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) wow you sure put a lot of work into that chart up there nice job <3 thats gonna help people plan lineages like nobody's buisness btw i may have a mate for my shimmer provided it genders female whats everyone think of this -> http://www.coup-detat.info/NDER/Lineage.ph...en=5&mate=8KNtd Edited March 19, 2013 by linda3.0 Share this post Link to post

Posted March 19, 2013 ty <3 the funny thing about that GW mate is it was a random AP catch so yay for the ap helping with my breeding situation lol Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) very pretty linda i didn't see an inbred but i did see a very messy shimmer in ANoD yesturday, it was a bronze but can't recall who the CB shimmer was. it was like a 5th or 6th gen though. @grox - you should 100% do that *nods* inbred EG's are the best. @ point - grats on gettign on a list @ Kelkelen - impressive and had to take a while to do! have to say my eyes gravitate to the Blusangs, Male Nebbie (you shoudl add in the Purple!!) and Gold Wyvrens. Pebbles look outstanding with the Silvers though i still prefer puddle jumpers Edited March 19, 2013 by Red2111 Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 yeah the inbreds in a trade right now nothings been accepted for it yet though but whoever gets it will probably not even care since its a shimmer anyway its amazing all the plans people have for these things eventually theres gonna be clusters of amazing lineages Share this post Link to post

Pebbles look outstanding with the Silvers though i still prefer puddle jumpers Thanks! And thanks to the other people who said nice things, too! I *should* add in the other Nebula colors -- they all look so great with every color of Shimmer. Puddle Jumpers? Are those the Water Walkers? I *am* making a smaller "final chart" of the lineages I'd like best to see (and possibly one day own a few of), but I didn't want to spam the thread. I added in the other Nebula colors, though, plus a couple of other mates that I really like the look of: Guardian, Spotted Greenwing, male Tan Ridgewing, and Silver. I feel like it's a testament to how exquisite the sprites are, that they can complement such a range of other dragons! Share this post Link to post

Well, here it is, then: my final chart of "one day, my precioussss!" Any of the vertical pairs, or the horizontal ones in the "extra" row, are my overall preferred breed/gender/color matches. ...is it obvious that I have a really hard time choosing a favorite anything?

Posted March 19, 2013 When I first joined Dragcave It didn't occur to me to look at parentage, given how lineage links weren't available at the time. So I just bred whatever I wanted without a care in the world, and now I have 6 silvers on my scroll that are inbred. As soon as they added lineage links to dragcave I saw my mistake and got mad pft. Fortunately I avoided that with my golds. So yeah, it's possible that people just don't look at it, though that's becoming less common these days as people are putting more emphasis on lines. I'm on a waiting list for a shimmer myself and can't wait, I just need to make sure to finish my IOU. Waiting for dragons to be breedable is horrible for someone with as little impatience as me, pfft. *stares at CB silvers* Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 babbus http://dragcave.net/lineage/C2xl4 http://dragcave.net/lineage/HkIpB http://dragcave.net/lineage/kgYYg those bronzes were good breeders today. i'm especially in love with the way the egg that came from the wrong gendered shimmer came out. can't expect many people to appreciate that, by the way. ALSO BRONZE SHIMMER AND GW <333 gorgeous ;; Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 babbus http://dragcave.net/lineage/C2xl4 http://dragcave.net/lineage/HkIpB http://dragcave.net/lineage/kgYYg Oh, I'm so jelly. Those are all cool. (And an interesting way to make the best of a misgender!) Share this post Link to post
Posted March 19, 2013 (edited) http://dragcave.net/lineage/HkIpB eeek!! its my dragons sibling!! <3 <3 and i love what u did with that breeding again the genderfail makes for amazing lineages Edited March 19, 2013 by linda3.0 Share this post Link to post
