Dark Lumina breeding theories

Recommended Posts

Not necessarily. Dark Luminae could still be, while unlikely, Fire, Death, or Lightning-aligned, instead of Dark-aligned, and produce Guardians of Destruction. The only definitive answers would come from the spriter/conceptor themself, TJ, or the Dragon Encyclopedia, unless another option is introduced to the game that can only be achieved with dark mana-aligned dragons.

 

Edit: And on a different note:

 

Phase change occurred on Saturday, October 22, 2016 @ 8:00 PM Dragon Cave Time (Eastern Daylight Savings)!

 

Current Moon Phases are:

MOON PHASES

AURAX (GOLDEN MOON) Waning crescent

CIRION (BLUE MOON) Waxing crescent

- Phases will stay like this until 7:59 PM Cave Time, Tuesday, October 25, 2016.

- Please use these phases for any eggs caught, bred, or sighted during this time.

That's true. Maybe after Halloween, we will get some more posting of Luminae eggs again.

 

Someone suggested earlier that I should start a new spreadsheet to try and gather data now that the Dark Luminae release surge is over.

 

Does anyone think that would be a good idea??

I do, although it will take a long time to get enough data with how the interest has dropped. But it will be easier in the sense that you can drop some of the data that is pretty obviously not involved, making it easier for people to add data because there is less to keep track of.

Honestly, by this time, I've lost interest. It's been over two months since the first breedings and there's still nothing close to a pattern emerging.

It might take a good bit, because there aren't people consistently and consecutively sighting, breeding and catching Luminae and Dark Luminae daily.

 

Maybe we should start over?

 

There is already a gap, thanks to the holiday. We could start a new spreadsheet now and see if a pattern emerges?

 

What to do?

 

It would help if we had a hint of where to look or something.

 

The closest we have are the Valkemare Lunar cycle. Outside of that...*shurg* Idk.

I just bred a batch of them to the AP.

 

It is day.

Season Fall

Aurax (Golden moon) Waxing crescent

Cirion (Blue moon) Waning gibbous

 

10 Luminae: 6 Dark Luminae, 1 Turp, 1 Stone, 1 no egg and 1 no interest.

You might as well make a new one. I do think you should keep CB and bred data separate simply because it seems like breeding gives a lot more darks than the cave does, so the cave data might be more accurate.

 

It is really frustrating that the data when everyone was interested was bad because of it being right after the release, and now that almost everyone has lost interest is when we might be able to get the kind of data needed to figure it out...

I wouldn't throw out the old info completely, but starting a new chart might be a good idea.

 

Anyway, breeding results. November 2, 4:25AM (because insomnia):

Lumina x Whiptail = Dark Lumina

Lumina x Storm = Dark Lumina

Dark Lumina x Bolt = Dark Lumina

Avatar of Destruction x Dark Lumina = Dark Lumina

3 wrong breed (Electric, Swallowtail, Monarch)

3 no egg/interest

2 refusal

 

Looks like the moons are Waxing Crescent Aurax and Waning Gibbous Cirion.

What I might do is make a copy of the file and delete the old data from it.

 

That way I won't have to make everything from scratch, and the old data can stay in the original file.

 

I Will have to changes some portion of it though, like the dates and such.

 

- I already kept the data separate in my count. I just need to make separate charts for each of them.

 

That's so true. How can we gather support for this now that we have more stable Lumina/Dark Lumina numbers?

Well, it would also be an opportunity to remove some of the data aspects that it seems clear do not change what the dragon becomes, like the mana affinity of the parent. They were important while we had no idea what it might be, but we can rule some of them out by now. I personally suspect it's related to the moons, we just need enough data to pin down the exact relationship.

 

Maybe PM some of the people who helped before? Maybe a sig banner?

Actually, I don't know if Mana actually matters or not. I never finished making the data sheets for Mana because of the double Mana type dragons.

 

I guess what we could exclude is time of day and biome. They don't seem to matter.

- Though Time of day was based on what time they were born, and I don't know if the exact hour they were born matters or not.

- I tried to cross time of breeding with date, but it ended up just being too confusing. That one I'll probably get rid of.

 

I think I'll make a banner...eventually...

According to my tentative theory, dark eggs should be more likely today. Let's see...

10 breedings, 7 dark eggs, 2 no interest, 1 refusal.

Decided I'd like to try to help out with this because I missed the release due to IRL so they're still 'new' to me and I'm still curious. xd.png So! Have some datas. All eggs were abandoned, so, good luck hunting them if anyone liked 'em. tongue.gif

 

Time of Day: It is day.

Season: Fall

Moon Phases

Aurax (Golden moon) Waxing gibbous

Cirion (Blue moon) New

 

F Lumina x M Antarean = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/SoS7H

 

M Lumina x F Silver Tinsel = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/7whSm

 

F Lumina x M Frostbite = Dark Egg (Fun codes on the parents here! DRUMe x ZPICY - tragic DRUMe isn't CB, but still!)

https://dragcave.net/lineage/1wA7p

 

M Lumina x F Ridgeback = Dark Egg (More fun - if a bit risque - parent codes!)

https://dragcave.net/lineage/OQU3R

 

F Lumina x M Waterhorse = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/uhTc0

 

F Lumina x M Bronze Tinsel = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/jWCDZ

 

F Lumina x M Guardian = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/5qRtt

 

F Lumina x M Albino = Dark Egg (more amusing parent codes)

https://dragcave.net/lineage/GnxaY

 

F Lumina x M Aegis = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/he656

 

M Lumina x F Tsunami Wyvern = Dark Egg (I haz lots of code dragums)

https://dragcave.net/lineage/jaNOB

 

M Lumina x F Almandine = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/ThjXt

 

M Lumina x F Sunset = Dark Egg (bred two of my bday dragons from last year <3)

https://dragcave.net/lineage/mksPu

 

F Lumina x M Aria = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/9LY8F

 

F Lumina x M Silver = Dark Egg

https://dragcave.net/lineage/sDtQ6

 

Each and every one of my Luminas produced a Dark Lumina egg. There were no off-breed, no-egg, or refusal results.

 

Alas, I don't have any Dark Lumina adults yet, but will return each week to redo this if I don't forget (;p), so eventually I can begin adding Dark Lumina stats.

 

EDIT: This is every Lumina I currently own, BTW, a total of 14. I will try to acquire more to continue testing. Will also try to get a couple of my non-forum-using but still active friends to do the same. If I can get them to do it, I'll post their results separately. All eggs were bred between 1:30 and 1:58 PM game time.

I'd have gotten more, but they seem less prevalent today and I'm too tired to spend a lot of time hunting. xP

Looks like the encylopedia finally has the information for Dark Luminae up and they are confirmed to be Dark-aligned.

 

So, once I get the new sheet set up, put Dark for the Mana type of Dark Luminae.

I'm so sorry I haven't been working on this. I've been really tired recently.

I thought today would be a 50/50 mix, but 10 breedings produced: 6 dark eggs, 2 no eggs and 2 other. Mmmm, need to adjust my theory...
