Posted September 15, 2015 When is it supposed to shift over to golds again? I just bred my last three available Lunars, so now I have to wait for any to come off cooldown. I should have a couple getting there in the next few days, I think. I actually really like how the bronze Lunar looks with a Striped River Dragon, they're both shiny. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 15, 2015 (edited) Brilliant strategy on DC's part. Nobody has created a thread speculating on a September release, because we're all still waiting on the silver Lunar eggs to show up, and we all know the October dragon will fall on the 31st. We might not see any other 'regular' new releases until next March or April (with the obvious exception of the holiday releases). Ummmm...I hate to burst your bubble, but...September Release Thread. Edit: Ninja'd by the Flash! Of course, he's the fastest poster around! Good thought though. And, the rest of what you said could be true anyway. In Other news... -- Bump for the day! - Eggs are still Bronze!! - Check the DC Moon Watch and Lunar Herald Theories Thread for speculation when Silvers are going to come (as well as explanations why we think that way)! - State your breeding plans and funny names for the Lunar Heralds in the Lunar Herald Breeding and Naming Thread! - Please tell me if I missed anything! A CURRENT SUMMARY OF WHAT WE KNOW ABOUT THE MOON AND EGGS: (For everybody who was late to the party and/or wants updates) ------- - We have Beautiful pseudo-six-winged Lunar Heralds, the former prize breed, moon-loving dragons! - Currently, Aurax (Gold Moon) and Cirion (Blue Moon) are still in the WaXing Crescent and WaNing Crescent phases respectively. - Everyone is still catching Bronze eggs in the Cave! - We have Adult dragons, and we are now breeding Bronze Lunar eggs!! - The eggs are found in the Alpine, Desert, and Volcano Biomes. (Think places where the sky is easily seen.) - So far, Gold, Bronze, and Blue/Indigo eggs have dropped in the Cave! Bronze and Blue/Indigo eggs have been bred. - Info on the current moon phase can be accessed from the Time page, which you can get to by clicking the clock in the top right hand corner of the new Standard DC skin, by going to the Help page and clicking Time Reference link, by going to the first page in this thread and clicking the link in the banner, OR by clicking the 3 above links embedded in this post. - There is currently no repeat flood for Bronze eggs. As such, it will be more difficult to catch bronze eggs, since other eggs have already mixed in. This is to be expected because Bronzes already had their flood earlier in the release. - No one had been tracking the moons until now, so we have no idea how quickly they change. So, we cannot accurately predict what eggs will come when. - That means no one knows how to get the other egg colors until the other moon phases come and the lunar cycle completes itself. - IMPORTANT: All data before 09/03/13, 1:56 PM was incorrect as the time page was showing Aurax's phase for BOTH moons. TJ has provided a corrected cycle in his post. - This does NOT affect the information gathered on the eggs, just the moon phases the eggs were caught/bred under. - The cycle has progressed, and so far we know: (Cycle Post taken and modified from TJ's post) --- Based on current data, it seems that Cirion's phases change faster than Aurax's. ----- Aurax takes 8 days to move from WaNing Crescent to New Moon. ----- Cirion takes 4 days to move from WaXing Gibbous to Full Moon; Cirion takes 3 days to move from WaNing Gibbous to WaNing Crescent. ----- Aurax's New Moon is 24 hours long. ----- Cirion's Full Moon is 24 hours long. New Moon Phase is unconfirmed to be 24 hours long. ----- Cirion skips both First and Last Quarter Phases. Aurax skips Last Quarter phase, but is unconfirmed to skip First Quarter phase. Aug 29, 2015 @ 12:00 AM EST/DragonCave (DC) to Sep 01, 2015 @ 7:59 PM EST/DC. Aurax: Waning Gibbous Cirion: Waning Crescent CB Lunar eggs are Gold. Sep 01, 2015 starting 8:00 PM EST/DC Aurax: Waning Crescent* Cirion: New* CB Lunar eggs change from Gold to Bronze. - The Gold egg drop lasted about 3 days and 17 hours. * = TJ's post doesn't mention a phase change at the same time the new color drops, but we know the color change happened here. So, we assume the phase changed happened here too. Sep 02, 2015 @ 12:00 AM EST/DC Aurax: Waning Crescent Cirion: New CB Lunar eggs are Bronze. Sep 03, 2015 @ 12:00 AM EST/DC to Sep 05, 2015 @ 7:59 PM EST/DC Aurax: Waning Crescent** Cirion: Waxing Crescent** CB Lunar eggs are Bronze, and Bred Lunar eggs are Bronze. ** Exact time of change Unknown. Sep 05, 2015 starting @ 8:00 PM EST/DC Aurax: Waning crescent Cirion: Waxing Gibbous CB Lunar eggs have changed from Bronze to Blue/Indigo, and Bred Lunar eggs have changed from Bronze to Blue/Indigo. - The Bronze egg drop lasted about 4 days.

Sep 13, 2015 starting @ 8:00 PM EST/DC Aurax: Waxing Crescent Cirion: Waning Crescent CB Lunar eggs have changed from Blue/Indigo to Bronze, and Bred Lunar eggs have changed from Blue/Indigo to Bronze. - The Blue/Indigo egg drop lasted about 8 days. Sep 14, 2015 starting @ 12:00 AM EST/DC Aurax: Waxing Crescent Cirion: Waning Crescent CB Lunar eggs are Bronze, and Bred Lunar eggs are Bronze. [Edited by Shokomon] - Note: The Moon Phases TJ posted were Phases of the moon at 12:00 AM EST of their respective date. That is why the post doesn't match up with the color change. - We can assume that on Sept 1, 2015, the phases changed at 8:00 PM EST/DC, where Aurax shifted Waning Gibbous to Waning Cresent, and Cirion from Waning Cresent to New Moon. - There are many theories on how the eggs will come and when, including, but not limited to: 1) Certain eggs being available during different phases of the moons in general, under the assumption that the moons are in synch, and will share the same moon phases. 2) Certain eggs being avaliable relative to the different phases of each moon (assuming the moons are NOT in synch) and overlap between both moons' phases. 3) One moon's phases controlling cave-born colors and the other moon's phases controlling bred colors. 4) Certain Lunar eggs colors are linked to Aurax, and the other colors are linked to Cirion. 5) Gold is the CB color, and the others could be Bred colors. 6) The Lunar egg colors are based on what percentage of the moons are illuminated. If one moon is greater than 50% illuminated (gibbous to full), while the other moon is less than 50% illuminated (crescent to new), then Lunar eggs are the color of the dominant moon. If both moons are equal in illumination, other colors show up. 7) The Lunar Herald egg colors will come in a linear fashion (aka all the colors in a row.) For example, Gold --> Bronze --> Blue --> Silver --> Gold --> Repeat. 8) The Lunar Herald eggs colors will NOT come in a linear fashion, and there are possible periods where a color or two do not show up for extended periods of time, despite the other colors showing up. For example, Gold --> Bronze --> Blue --> Bronze --> Gold --> Silver --> Bronze --> Continue. - Exactly which moon phase produces what eggs, which moon controls breeding and caveborn colors, and which colors are associated with which moon are up for debate. - The Lunar Heralds' description has given some support to Theories 1, 2, and 6. - The newest phase change, recent egg colors, and TJ's correctional post seems to support Theory 2, 6, and 8. - There are also theories about the DC lunar cycle itself, including, but not limited to: 1) The Moons are in synch and share phases. 2) The Moons are NOT in synch, and occasionally have overlapping phases. 3) The DC Lunar cycle is equivalent to Earth's Lunar cycle, and the current phase will change in at most a week. 4) The DC Lunar cycles are NOT equivalent to Earth's Lunar cycle, and the current phases may last longer or shorter than a week.- And there more theories on the size of the moons, their relative speeds, their distance from Valkemare, and the list goes on. - As of the most recent phase change and TJ's correctional post, the Valkemare's moon phases are not in synch͵ supporting Theory 2. - As of the most recent phase change and TJ's correctional post, the Valkemare's moon phases are not in alignment with Earth's, supporting Theory 4. - LadyLyzar will tells us more about the dragons, once we start getting adults. - TJ stated that the orbits of Valkemare's moons are close to circular, and the centre of mass would be close to the planet as it is much larger in size. --- (Sorry for the confusion here! I completely misinterpreted what TJ posted. Thank you pinkgothic for making a much more accurate summary statement.) - LadyLyzar seems to hint that the Lunar Heralds may have been initially intended to be prize dragons, and later states that they were made at the same time as the Shimmers. - LadyLyzar confirms that the 2nd and 3rd set of wings are in fact illusions. Only the top ones are real and that it is not motion illusion. - LadyLyzar has given us information on the Adults! - LadyLyzar is giving us a pretty Gold Lunar Herald avatar to match her own avatar. She'll give us the Bronze avatar once we start getting adults. --- She has given us the Bronze Herald Avatar! And now the Indigo Lunar Herald Avatar! - LadyLyzar states that Lunar Heralds do indeed have metallic scales, but she didn't intend for them to be classified as "metallic dragons" like Golds and Silvers. As they were originally intended to be prizes, she wanted to make them shiny and pretty. - LadyLyzar does not call the "blue" Lunar eggs "Indigos;" She just states that the "blues" are indigo in color as indigo is her favorite color, which makes sense as the "blue" lunar was meant to be her Alt. She later has reaffirmed this, stating that there is no official name for the "blue" Lunars and that they really are just indigo in color as they were to be her alt were these dragons to be chosen as prize dragons. -LadyLyzar states that the element for the Lunar Heralds had not been planned out, and that she would put them as "Light" element. - LadyLyzar states that the Lunar Heralds were retooled after the Shimmers were chosen for prizes, and while the moon phases work a little different than she expected, it's not complicated, and we will figure it out eventually. She won't tell us anything about the mechanic though. - The description for the Lunar Heralds has been updated from this: Lunar Heralds are deeply attuned to the two moons of Valkemare, Aurax and Cirion. Strictly nocturnal, they draw energy from moonlight and will only hunt when the moons have waned. When breeding, the amount of moonlight the parents receive from each moon will determine the color of the egg produced. - To this: Lunar Heralds are deeply attuned to the two moons of Valkemare, Aurax and Cirion. Strictly nocturnal, they draw energy from moonlight and will only hunt when the moons have waned. When breeding, the amount of moonlight the parents receive from each moon will determine the color of the egg produced. When a Lunar Herald is struck by direct moonlight, an illusion of multiple wings may appear. Witnessing a Lunar Herald’s illusory wings is commonly believed to be a sign of good fortune.

Posted September 16, 2015 My current prediction is silver eggs will begin dropping on September 21st, at 8:00 PM Cave Time. Here's why: Basically, Cirion has four day quarters. The Full moon (1 day) is included in the quarter count with Waning Gibbous (3 days), and the New Moon (1 day) is included in the quarter count with Waxing Crescent (3 days). Aurax has eight day quarters. Again, the Full moon (1 day) is included in the quarter count with Waning Gibbous (7 days), and the New Moon (1 day) is included in the quarter count with Waxing Crescent (7 days). We had Cirion's FULL moon and Aurax's NEW moon on the 9th. Here is my calendar from that day: Sept. 10 - Waning Gibous - Waxing Crescent Sept 11, 12 - No Change, the 12th being the 4th day of the quarter. Sept 13 - Waning Crescent - Waxing Crescent - Eggs are Brown/Bronze Sept 14, 15, 16 - No Change, the 16th being the 4th day of Cirion's quarter and the 8th day of Aurax's quarter. Sept 17 - New - Waxing Gibbous - Gold eggs return Sept 18 - Waxing Crescent - Waxing Gibbous - Gold eggs remain Sept 19, 20 - No change, the 20th being the 4th day of both moons' quarters. Sept 21 - Waxing Gibbous - Waxing Gibbous - Silver eggs begin! Reposting this to answer the "when will ____ eggs happen?" question. Share this post Link to post

Posted September 16, 2015 1. Silver 2. Indigo 3. Bronze 4. Gold Although Indigo and Bronze are almost tied, for me. Woop just grabbed my fourth Bronze (contrasted with only two Blues because I completely didn't stock them for some reason) and now locked with four Bronzes (three from Desert and this newest one from Volcano, this imbalance bothers me blurgh) and two Reds (gotta stock up on mah Pinks and Reds before all the holidays/events come!!!)

Posted September 16, 2015 mine is silver and gold (i like them equally and will hoard these the most) blue (maybe on the side) bronze (not very much unless i find a CB on the AP or something) i only will hoard caveborns though Share this post Link to post
Posted September 16, 2015 I think right now I would rank them: 1. Indigo 2. Silver 3. Gold 4. Bronze But Indigo and Silver could switch places once I get Silvers actually on my scroll. And of course it depends on what you pair them with, too. They are all so pretty that it is hard to pick favorites. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 16, 2015 Gold Indigo Silver Bronze Silver and Gold used to be tied for my favorites, back when the whole thing first started and we saw TJ's growing up. But that longer Indigo drop made them really grow on me, I started liking them a lot more. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 16, 2015 Indigo Silver Gold Bronze I'm feelin' it! Ditto. Blue and Silver is my favorite color combo breeding-wise no matter the dragon species, so this wait for the Silvers is driving me nuts. Share this post Link to post
