Posted September 20, 2015 I'm not sure why some people are saying that we're not going to have a regular release for months. We've had releases around black friday before (tri-horns for example) Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 Really looking forward to the Silver Lunars...but I am afraid the cave will be massively crowded tomorrow! Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 I think I'll wait till the day after tmr to start hunting, every single time I hunt right after the flood starts my computer lags like mad. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 I hope I can find an CB Alpine Gold Lunar before they switch to Silver. So far there's been only 1 offer on my CB Bronze Lunar hatchlings trade, but it wasn't a Gold from Alpine like I asked for. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 Sigh, completely scroll-locked until tomorrow, but egglocked until Tuesday... Silvers please come Tuesday! PLEASE! Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 Waiting for the silver drops now and hopefully will not have the trouble I did with gold lol Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 Anyone else fret over their catching plans? I mean, like, how exactly you'll catch them? A part of me really really wants to be there when they first switch to silvers, the very first silver drop, and ninja-click like crazy and pray I'm faster then, like, the hundreds of people that will be in the same biome. But then, that kind of intense clicking and not-getting leaves me fairly anxious, and I'm trying to talk myself into waiting a couple hours and hunting for silvers once people are locked, which would make it easier. The only thing there is that I don't know for sure how long the "flood" will be and I don't want to miss my chance to fill up on silvers. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 I literally just wander into a specific biome, refresh and hope for the best. No better plan than that one. Share this post Link to post

I'm going to try and be there when they start dropping, and flail at them in my usual wild fashion. Not too much "wait a few hours" here; the change-over is at 1am my time so if I don't get anything in the first hour or so, I'll likely just go to bed and try again in the morning.

Posted September 20, 2015 any one know when silvers are supposed to drop? Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 I only have ONE Lunar Herald... This has been my most unlucky egg release. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 any one know when silvers are supposed to drop? My best guess is 27 hours from now. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 Well, being a 'new' drop, hopefully they'll flood and it will be hard to NOT catch any, for all of us. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 If worse comes to worse you can always breed yours to get 2g and do a blood swap. That's what I'm going to do if it comes to it until I can get cave borns Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 Bump for the Day! - Eggs are still gold. - Millie-Azure has made a New Valkemare Lunar Calender, based on current data, that predicts the Lunar Egg Herald results all the way to 2018! THANK THIS PERSON! - Check the DC Moon Watch and Lunar Herald Theories Thread for speculation when Silver Lunars are going to come (as well as explanations why we think that way)! We speculate that the Silver Lunars will come on Monday, September 21, 2015 @ 8:00 Pm EST/DragonCave time. - State your breeding plans and funny names for the Lunar Heralds in the Lunar Herald Breeding and Naming Thread! - Please vote for your favorite Lunar Herald color on the What's Your Favourite Lunar Herald?, Vote away! 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 Gibbous and WaXing Crescent phases respectively. - Everyone is still catching Gold eggs in the Cave! - We have Adult dragons, and we are now breeding Gold 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 Gold eggs. As such, it will be more difficult to catch Gold eggs, since other eggs have already mixed in. This is to be expected because Golds 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 and 7 days to move from WaXing Crescent to Waxing Gibbous. ----- Cirion takes 4 days to move from WaXing Gibbous to Full Moon, 3 days to move from WaNing Gibbous to WaNing Crescent, and 4 days to move from WaNing Crescent to New Moon. ----- Aurax's New Moon is 24 hours long. ----- Cirion's Full Moon and New Moon phases are confirmed to be 24 hours long. ----- Cirion and Aurax both skip the First Quarter and Last Quarter Phases. ----- !!! Cirion's cycle is almost completely confirmed! 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 17, 2015 starting @ 8:00 PM EST/DC Aurax: Waxing Gibbous Cirion: New CB Lunar eggs have changed from Bronze to Gold, and Bred Lunar eggs have changed from Bronze to Gold. - The Bronze egg drop lasted about 4 days.

[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.

Disclosure: I've a business connection, reflexes trained by years of video games competition (brothers are the pits) and no particular wish to get new releases as soon as they are released. All this said, I think that the best strategy for someone without all those advantages is to hunt in the biomes during the initial flood. Competition is fierce but, as the fast catchers get their fill, things get easier. Easier than to hunt when other eggs mix. Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) All my eggs have hatched. I have plenty of room for silver Lunars tomorrow. I plan on catching some cb gold Lunars tonight and releasing them to the ap tomorrow. I have jury duty tomorrow, so won't be able to catch/release from the ap. Edited September 20, 2015 by buckskinmist Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) any one know when silvers are supposed to drop?

Posted September 20, 2015 (edited) It depends, really. I have basically equal luck catching during the initial drop and in the days following. O.o I forgot today was only Sunday so I've been continuously checking my scroll lol. @buckskin: Ooh good luck on jury duty! Edited September 20, 2015 by moonstone981 Share this post Link to post
Posted September 20, 2015 So many people will be gathering to the relevant biomes at the exact same time to grab their Silvers. With this in mind, I'm hoping there is a hefty egg drop rate so that they aren't near-impossible to catch for some users. Share this post Link to post

You can keep up with the full calendar via the link in my signature! Tomorrow cave time. For CEST it is already Monday 1:20 am. I am so happy i will have 7 eggslots open when we all expected the Silver Lunar Heralds. First time for me that i do not have to abandon something for a realease or fewer slots open then my maximum number of eggslots. Okay it really was helpfull that i wasn't only online this weekend. I am so happy now and waiting for the Silver Lunar Heralds. If i looked it up right this feeling is called anticipation in English. P.S.: Time to go to bed.
