Posted January 16, 2014 But then how did I get a red copper from a female ember? From that logic it should have been a brown copper. Your female ember isn't cb. Therefore, she wasn't caught in a biome, and breeding any copper with her will only produce that color of copper. What matters for copper color is the biome the mother was actually caught in, not where its breed drops. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 16, 2014 *nods* The only other way to get the "wrong" colour of Copper from a CB female dragon is to use ones that were caught before the Biomes were introduced. For example, Heart Of Kaos is pre-Biome, so she bred a red Copper egg. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 16, 2014 Ooooooh I see, so any non-cb female will give me a red copper if bred with my male red copper. CB females are the ones that determine the color of the egg. That makes it way less confusing. Share this post Link to post

Posted February 5, 2014 Just got a CB Brown Copper Egg that I influenced to be Female, but not sure what to breed her with... Thought about doing a staircase lineage with a trio of CB Legendaries but matching the colors wouldn't be easy maybe Brown Copper Female with a thunder dragon mate the resulting brown copper male with an Icicle Dragon Female to make a red copper, then breed that with magma? IDK Any thoughts on this or any suggestions? Share this post Link to post
Posted July 10, 2014 Can anybody explain my breeding results? http://dragcave.net/lineage/DPSmQ 3rd gen male Red Copper x 3rd gen female Green Copper = 4th gen Green Copper 4th gen male Red Copper x 4th gen female Green Copper = 5th gen Red Copper Is this a case of "Random (should never happen)", as the Wiki says, or is there a rule that explains it?

Posted July 10, 2014 I don't think that 4G Green male should have ever been green, but red like his mother. Your 5G is fine. However, looking through the whole thing, there's a green CB female that should have had green babies...It would have made an arc of greens along the top and your 5G would also be green.

Posted July 10, 2014 I'm not sure if I understand you, could you be mixing up the males and females? The 4th gen green one is female. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 10, 2014 Oh wait yes you're right. Somehow I confused all the genders. |D Whoops. idk how that happened. Sometimes it just does. I think I'm thinking of the view page order which has mom first. Then if that's the case, both of the 3rd gen red males should be brown (and not have affected anything else), and your new red should be green. You're right. Share this post Link to post
Posted July 10, 2014 (edited) I gave up on understanding Coppers long ago! I have this pretty red male from a brown mother, and expected him to be brown just like her. Perhaps Copper X Copper pairings can make either color? I know that it isn't in the "rules" but it seems to be occurring. *shrugs* Edited July 10, 2014 by Dimar Share this post Link to post

Posted October 20, 2014 I had no idea that coppers could break the rules until two minutes ago. Just bred the next stage on my green copper x white stripe line - which I assumed would either be a fail (stripe) or hopefully green copper. And got.... a rainbow copper! Colour me surprised!

That's totally fine, since the female's Biome defines the Copper color. Forest dragons make Rainbow Coppers. You need CB Stripeds from the Coast (where they don't drop) or the Jungle - or from before Biomes existed. Edited October 20, 2014 by Ruby Eyes Share this post Link to post
Posted January 13, 2015 What would happen if I breed a male Copper Dragon with one of the Alpine-born Turpentines? Will I get a Rainbow Copper (since the Turpentine in question bears the Alpine biome), a Liver of Sulfur Copper (because Turpentines are now in the Desert biome), or will it take on the color of the Copper father? I ask because of this Turpentine. Share this post Link to post
Posted January 13, 2015 I think it goes by the biome associated with your dragon, not by breed or its current biome. I have a few very old dragons whose biome is "cave" and they always give the Copper parent's color even though these breeds *are* located in specific biomes today. Share this post Link to post

Your Coppers have the correct coloring except for the green 4th gen female. Coppers should only color like their mother (random female dragon or Copper) when she is CB (color depends on the biome she is from). If the mother is a bred dragon/Copper (meaning she has no biome or she was caught before the biomes were implemented) the egg should take the color of its Copper father. Therefor the only coloring error in your lineage is the green 4th gen female, which should have been a "red" (rainbow) Copper like her father. As it's stated in the "Breeding Results" section of the Copper article on the wiki, there still seem to be some errors with the breeding of the Coppers. I gave up on understanding Coppers long ago! I have this pretty red male from a brown mother, and expected him to be brown just like her. Perhaps Copper X Copper pairings can make either color? I know that it isn't in the "rules" but it seems to be occurring. *shrugs* Your Coppers all have the correct coloring. The 2nd gens were influenced by the biomes of their CB mothers and the 3rd gen by its Copper father. That means if I take a CB Verdigris Dragon and breed it with that Turpentine I will get a Rainbow Copper instead of a Liver of Sulfur Copper? ...I think that is a worthy beginning of a Lineage right there. ...now I gotta get me a CB Verdirgris Copper. Yep, you would get a Rainbow Copper from this pairing. Edited January 13, 2015 by Nyastara Share this post Link to post

The color of the copper only takes after a female CAVEBORN dragon. If the dragon is not caveborn then the egg will be the color of the Copper father. No clue how that 4th gen female ended up green...

I would love a checker of that combo, but it is apparently never going to happen, sort of like getting a royal blue out of an RB x frostbite combo. Share this post Link to post

Posted March 29, 2016 What biome(s) would I need to catch sapphires from to breed to a green copper male and get green coppers from? I want to test out a lineage Idea but don't know which biome breeds what Share this post Link to post
Posted March 29, 2016 (edited) Jungle and Coast make green Coppers. You can check the wikia's Copper page for the habitats: http://dragcave.wikia.com/wiki/Copper_Dragon Edited March 29, 2016 by Ruby Eyes Share this post Link to post
