Posted September 1, 2015 While surfing the AP for interesting eggs, I came across a Frostbite egg. I never really noticed it much until now (I zoomed up on my phone), but are frostbite eggs Silver eggs, except just recoloured slightly? They sure are. I don't know who sprited either of the eggs, but I doubt it was the same person. Something like this should be reported to TJ or a mod. Left is the Frostbite and right is the Silver: Share this post Link to post
Posted September 1, 2015 Most egg shading follows the same template, unless the egg is particularly fancy or shiny/textured or has a different light source. If you brought up the shading for the black tip, balloon, black, canopy, cassare, flamingo, pink, gilded bloodscale, gold, pebble, ice, imp, magi, neglected, nhio, purple, red, royal blue, ridgewing, winter, seragamma, soulpeace, speckle throat, gray, water, or white, you'd probably find much the same. Not to mention the handful of eggs that would have similar but offset position shading. It's not something I'm worried about, personally. ^^ It's still in the spriting sticky, but the original spriting advice written by Dove actually lists the silver egg as the base DC shading for eggs, so I'm not surprised so many eggs use the template. Now if, for example, someone took the frostbite swirly pattern and applied it to a new egg - that wouldn't be okay. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 1, 2015 So with the spirit wards in enyclopedia, how do the second ones work? I take it they represent one o f the night "forms" (presumably the brightest one), but what is needed to unlock them? Do I need to observe 15 new adults I haven't previously observed during the night? If so must these 15 be "maximum" brightness or any of the intermediate brightness sprites too? There are five different rows of sprites, each corresponding to one glow stage of the Spirit Ward adults. To unlock a row of sprites, you have to view 15 adults in the appropriate glow stage - so viewing 15 adults during s1 glow stage (fully dark) will only unlock the first row of sprites, viewing 15 adults during s5 glow stage (maximum glow) will only unlock the last row of sprites, and so on.

So there should be more than 2 rows, which I'm assuming will automatically unlock once I've seen those stages enough. Any ideas if these 15 have to be completely new adults for each stage or can I review the same 15? Share this post Link to post

The rest will unlock as you view more Spirit Ward adults in the appropriate glow stages. I'm not actually sure if you can reuse adults for the different glow stages. Logic suggests you need different adults, but I didn't experiment with that when I unlocked my own sprites. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 1, 2015 If I recall correctly, TJ once mentioned that you cannot observe any given dragon a second time within a month - after that month, you're free to look at them again, starting another 1 month cooldown. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 1, 2015 Another question comes to mind - did anything happen to the ratios of leetle trees dropping in the forest? I've probably seen ten in the last three days! If the scroll limit didn't exist, I'd have a forest by now. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 1, 2015 Going to take a wild guess and say that the new releases have reduced the catches of other breeds, which in theory makes them appear more often. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 1, 2015 Does any one know if there is a difference between which dragons come out at night versus the day in the Cave? I remember that if you hover over the little moon/sun in the new Standard Cave Skin, it tells you only certain breeds are available during the night/day. Does anyone know which ones? I mean I know that you can only get Sunset/Sunrises and Day/Night Glories at different times of the day, but I want to know if the Day/Night Cycle affects the ratios in the biomes as well. - Like do you get more Nebulas, Bleeding Moons, and Moonstones at night, and more Sunsongs and Sunstones during the day? Or something like they? I think that is referring to Day/nightglory drakes and sunrise/sunset dragons Share this post Link to post

If you don't, you'll have to upload your incubator elsewhere and use *that* URL. Share this post Link to post

Try it for yourself, maybe I'm just missing something... P.S. For some weird reason, when I post [ url=http://dragcave.net/user/Helel ][ img ]http://incubators.dragcave.net/incubator_Helel.png[ /img ][ /url ] on other site it shows my incubator for some time, and then it's stops showing it, I don't know how else to describe this.

Posted September 2, 2015 Interesting question here.... I noticed a black tea of mine was getting too many views for it's time. I fogged it. 4 hours later, I go back to put one of my now ER Nebbie into the hatcheries, I notice that the black tea has gendered, even tho it was fogged! And when I opened up Silvi's Lair to put in my Nebbie, I saw the black tea was listed as fogged but still check-marked as active!! So, apparently, while it was fogged, it was still receiving enough views to gender??? So what's the point in fogging then??? Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) They don't need to be viewed to gender, as far as I know - only to turn into adults. Edited September 2, 2015 by Ruby Eyes Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2015 See but it WAS getting views while fogged. It was at something like 4000 when I fogged it, and when I saw it again, it was like 4500!! So it was still getting views while fogged at Silvi's Lair, enough to gender. That's what I was saying. Share this post Link to post

As far as I know Silvi's is the only hatcherie where eggs/hatchies didn't get removed automatically when you fog them. They don't get views anyway in this time. Your Black Tea received enough stats to gender before you fogged it. Hatchies can still gender while fogged when they got enough views at a certain point of time. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2015 I had a strange thing happening on Silvi's, too. When I put my eggs in there earlier today, there was one egg/hatchie shown as fogged. However, I didn't have anything fogged on my scroll, and the egg/hatchie in question does not and did not belong to my scroll, as I couldn't view it when following the link.

Posted September 2, 2015 Ashywolf and StormCaller - what browser are you using? Is it up to date? Have you tried disabling addons? Cleared cookies, restarted computer, restarted modem? I've done the "usual" fixes. Windows 7 on Chrome. I've had no problems with other dragons. I'm going to guess wildly it is something to do with the retroactive raised/observed stats. When it was added to the encyclopedia maybe it didn't run the check to see if it should fill in or not as it was completed the instant it was added to the encyclopedia. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 2, 2015 (edited) @olympe: Sure you didn't trade or give it away earlier in its life? (This would belong to Silvi's thread, by the way.) Edited September 2, 2015 by Ruby Eyes Share this post Link to post
