Metallics are those that have a metal like appearance: gold, silver, copper, both prizes, and golden wyvern though the last is worth considerably less than the others. Elementals, depends on context. Could be trios, xenos, could be alignments. I could also see avatars being meant. Though my first thought, before reading the other replies was the "Captain Planet" release (nocturne, bluna, electric, canopy. + heart egg)https://dragcave.fandom.com/wiki/Category:2010-01-15_Mid-Winter_Madness_release Share this post Link to post
Posted August 21, 2020 Has it always been so that the precognition message for low-time (under three days) eggs still includes the "it's future may still be influenced" part even though the ifluence BSA can't be used on them? Or has it changed? I started to wonder about this some days ago as the wiki says the message depends on whether the egg can still be influenced or not, anyway I thought it would be better to ask here in case it used to be like that.

Posted August 21, 2020 (edited) As far as I know, that text always has included that bit for eggs of 3 days or less, even though it made no sense anymore. Only hatchies don't show it anymore. Maybe it's just to cover the fact that someone might influence, precog and later drop or teleport the egg (upon which influence would be cancelled and gender randomly re-assigned).

Posted August 21, 2020 @Ruby Eyes I see! Yeah, that would be logical. I just hadn't payed attention to this before. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2020 I’m not sure if it’s a glitch, but I saw two dragons with 4-character codes instead of 5-characters. Was this the ‘norm’ before 5-character codes were implemented? Or, is it something else entirely? Share this post Link to post

I'm not sure when exactly there was the switch, but I've got a few older dragons with 4-character codes. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 22, 2020 (edited) We switched from four didgt codes to 5 between April and July 2011. Basically the site got too big and there weren't any more 4 codes left.

I’m not sure if they’re worth trading for (their offspring), but I’m tempted to collect them now, lol. 😆 Thanks to you both! Share this post Link to post

Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) There are no eggs showing up at the five minute drop in the desert, jungle and volcano biomes. Is this common during every biome-specific new release? I don't remember this happening before. @Shadowdrake Oh, I see. Thanks for the clarification. Edited August 23, 2020 by obelisk_light Share this post Link to post

There are no old eggs for many hours during the new releases, so non-release biomes are always empty the first 6-12 hours or more. Share this post Link to post

Posted August 23, 2020 Are spriters notified before a new release of their dragon? I feel like I've seen some new releases where a spriter seemed surprised, like they didn't know their dragon was going to be released then... I don't mean like 'this dragon has been accepted' or whatever, but actually being notified 'hey this month's release will contain your breed'. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 26, 2020 Does pressing cancel or the escape key on the "Are you sure you wish to remove (thing) from (group)?" still remove it from the group? Share this post Link to post

Apparently yes, it still removes the thing. Might want to make a thread for it, that's got to be a bug. Share this post Link to post
Posted August 28, 2020 I don't have any Staterae (Xenowyrm) eggs. Will I not be able to buy them from the market until I've caught a caveborn one? Share this post Link to post
Posted August 28, 2020 @Charity322 You can buy them in the Market even if you have never caught one. (I did, because I never even saw one in the cave.) If you can't see them in the Market, I think it's because you don't have the egg unlocked in the encyclopedia yet. You can click Staterae eggs in hatcheries to unlock it. Share this post Link to post

Posted August 28, 2020 Is there any particular reason why Zyus can't be purchased from the Market? Share this post Link to post
Posted August 28, 2020 I gather it's to do with their being a single breed in the encyclopaedia., Share this post Link to post

Posted August 28, 2020 There WAS an answer, many moons ago. But can you see anyone wanting to buy a Zyu egg without knowing which you'd get ? You DO know in the biomes - as you do with coppers, actually. Share this post Link to post
