Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I want to start a checker with carmines. But I haven't seen ANYONE who has got anything but a Carmine from breeding. (though I know there are a couple out there, as we do know they give red stripes.) So I hesitate - big time. Is this a glitch or are they supposed to take over the world ? If you know different, please post. If you know a breed that is just as bad - name it. But at least if I can see there is a breed that MIGHT not be totally overpowered, I can try with that !

Posted October 15, 2016 How about the new breeds? You probably won't get a Carmine. http://dragcave.net/lineage/2sxoj http://dragcave.net/lineage/G8SUh Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2016 (edited) I have this lineage: http://dragcave.net/lineage/Rh0bp This one doesn't really count as an answer to your question, but I do love it: http://dragcave.net/lineage/r290c Going down my Carmine offspring lists, I see a few others. Not going to lie though, there are also a megaton of Carmines surrounding these. http://dragcave.net/lineage/AoP1K http://dragcave.net/lineage/oXXRG http://dragcave.net/lineage/7APdg http://dragcave.net/lineage/qEcIG http://dragcave.net/lineage/nvWG8 http://dragcave.net/lineage/qEm15 http://dragcave.net/lineage/n6Y47 http://dragcave.net/lineage/ocRTS http://dragcave.net/lineage/EeEKa http://dragcave.net/lineage/E2nRl http://dragcave.net/lineage/bsMRk http://dragcave.net/lineage/MHYlv http://dragcave.net/lineage/EkWZb http://dragcave.net/lineage/TJzu2 http://dragcave.net/lineage/BM9oT http://dragcave.net/lineage/4t7FR http://dragcave.net/lineage/bZcdH http://dragcave.net/lineage/db1fH http://dragcave.net/lineage/h386r http://dragcave.net/lineage/RuY8r Edited October 15, 2016 by Terrafreaky Share this post Link to post
Posted October 15, 2016 Carmine Sandiego gives both: http://dragcave.net/progeny/OHmlF as does Chasing her: http://dragcave.net/progeny/dBOdA but, Stop her crime doesn't: http://dragcave.net/progeny/cxsGm Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 I have several Carmines among my z-code dragons -- which I breed nearly every week until they produce a z-code baby. Here are my progeny results from the pairs that I have bred: http://dragcave.net/progeny/ZdlDn - bred with an Albino http://dragcave.net/progeny/ZUysq - bred with a Guardian http://dragcave.net/progeny/z62sF - 2 Gemshards among them! http://dragcave.net/progeny/ZZ2Yy - bred with a Black Tea http://dragcave.net/progeny/ZsbnV - better luck with Trihorn http://dragcave.net/progeny/ZlsKH - look at all the Yellow Crowns! http://dragcave.net/progeny/ZRzJY - and quite a few Fevers So it may depend on what you breed them with. These are not actually any breeds that I would pick if I were trying to build a checker lineage, though. My Z-code lineages are purely mixed lineages, built on code results, not appearances for the most part. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) This gal has a few none-Carmine babies, as do some of her kids. I don't really breed Carmines often outside this line, though. e: oops, misremembered the breed name. I'm pretty sure my carmines have non-carmine kids as well, though. e2: here are two.. Edited October 16, 2016 by Guillotine Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) My carmines mostly produce carmine offspring, with a few exceptions: https://dragcave.net/progeny/Ws5RF with some black-capped teimarr offspring https://dragcave.net/progeny/00TU0 a single horse https://dragcave.net/progeny/B7MpS amazingly, a copper See, this is why they're called carmine wyverns, because with the right accent, they're called common wyverns. Hee hee. Edited October 16, 2016 by dirtytabs Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 (edited) I haven't worked too much with Carmines but I do have these pairs: https://dragcave.net/progeny/N9IRt https://dragcave.net/progeny/BLUOr https://dragcave.net/progeny/N1KYv https://dragcave.net/progeny/PjfOC https://dragcave.net/progeny/znu6E https://dragcave.net/progeny/4HBCr Which produced these non-Carmine offspring: https://dragcave.net/lineage/znu6E https://dragcave.net/lineage/4HBCr Plus one more that I don't own so I won't link to. (Though I did need some Carmines for this particular lineage pattern, and I didn't really breed the pairs regularly once I got the offspring I needed.) Also, I know I've said it before but I'll say it again, Yellow-Crowns are just as bad. Hmm.... wonder what'd happen if I tried them with Carmines??? Edit: Whoops! Misread purplehaze's post and thought they mentioned Fleshcrownes instead. Edited October 16, 2016 by Denwayasha Share this post Link to post

See my post above. The Carmines still dominate, but not as much. Edited October 16, 2016 by purplehaze Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 While building my Carmine x Olive lineage, I got more Carmines overall, but Olives were also produced within a reasonable number of breedings. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 Has anyone tried carmine x cassare recently? 4 carmine, 2 cassare. Not bad! I've kept one if you'd like it. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 Oh yes, the Carmines. They are extremely dominant. Here's a Carmine with 16 Carmines and nothing else. And one with 19. I was only able to vote "yes" because this one has one lonely GW child in a sea of red. Count 'em - that's 47 Carmines in a row. FOURTY SEVEN. I remember that Bleeding Moons proved to be quite dominant on the Lovely Commons Project, but I don't think they're a match for Carmines. Like PrincessLucy said, new breeds are probably your best bet. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 OK so there is hope. Thanks all. With a new breed or Yellow-crowns, perhaps. Quite a pleasing look, actually... Share this post Link to post
Posted October 16, 2016 I thought that I had bred my carmines much more than I actually have and the dragons that did manage to produce offspring of a different breed gave a bright breasted wyvern and a gold way back in 2015. I might have to try that pairing more often. Share this post Link to post
Posted October 20, 2016 (edited) I was randomly breeding my Carmines as someone in another thread mentioned they only throw Carmines. I bred one of mine with a Sapphire & got a Sapphire: https://dragcave.net/lineage/pATdd Just bred one of my Carmines to a dark Lumina & got a Dark Lumina eggie, that went to the AP. https://dragcave.net/lineage/xmcYG One more time; I bred a Carmine to a Kingcrown & got a Kingcrown (another AP find ): https://dragcave.net/lineage/ZtIji I think it breeds pretty true, except when breeding to something new. I did get 2 refusals when trying to breed them to Aeons. My last breeding attempt to an Aeon resulted in no egg. I was wondering if the two breeds just don't like each other, but I guess they do.
