My Current Stairstep Plan: 

 

 

- I don't like having the Jester hang off like that, but... what else can I do??? ??? They are just gonna have be this way...

- It keeps getting longer...

The Release History Spiral tries to solve this problem by breeding the hybrid parents in as CBs. So you'd breed in another BlancBlack step, then bring in a Bauta to get Jester offspring. Of course whether or not that's aesthetically/semantically pleasing for you is a different question!  Since this is a stair and not a spiral, it would only allow you to have one gender of the Jester sprites, since your CBs are never Jesters, but all your CBs are female. But! That's how you could bring in a Jester into the line in theory, without breaking the lineage shape.

Do you think you could show me a picture of that? I'm trying to picture, but it's not working...

 

Also, nobody has Jester breeding plans???

Sure thing!

 

Here's a spiral example for Dusk Pygmies: https://dragcave.net/lineage/Zdky7 - we bred a CB Crimson Flare to the line to get a spiral Crimson Flare, then bred that to a CB Nilia to get a spiral Dusk.

 

In your example, you'd do this: https://imgur.com/a/2WbbEbj (you can switch Bautas and BlancBlacks, of course)

Ohhhh, I see.

It would annoy mildly me to have them out of order like that, but it looks better than my current idea. Thank you!

 

...It bothers me too much. UGH. My brain is screaming "But they're not in order!" when I see this.

...But on the other side, when I see this, my brain screams "But is not straight! There is a dangly bit!"

 

Can't win them all, I guess.

[miaou]

i feel your pain, @Shokomon. i hope you can come up with something that works for you and your brain. :3

 

as for me, the first one i want to do is a reverse checker-ish 4eg. the device i'm on is very limited so i have no image to share, but i'll try to describe it:

• cb gen: male blancblack x female bauta (4 pairs/8 dragons)
• 2nd gen: male jester x female blancblack (2 pairs/4 dragons)
• 3rd gen: male blancblack x female jester (1 pair/2 dragons)
• 4th gen: male jester (final result, 1 dragon)

There is a solution, though I seriously doubt he'd go for it...

 

Breed it up to next to last breed, send the resulting egg to TJ, ask him to breed the resulting dragon to his CB Jester and send you the resulting egg.

 

Can't hurt to ask!

Highly Unlikely but an option...

@Shokomon - yes, that's it exactly. ❤ thank you for the screenshot!

Nobody else has got Jester plans?

[tjenni]

I´m planning on a Heart Lineage that ends in a Jester and contains all other Two-headed dragons ^^ well, after I´m done with the Pygmy heart lineage (which took me around 2 hours to plan *laugh*)

What is a Heart Lineage?

A lineage that combines two arrow lineages. Arrow lineages combine two different-direction stair lineages. So you end up with something like this:

6  5  4  3  2  1
         # 
            #
      #        #
         #  #  #
   #
         #  #  #
      #        #
            #
         # 
#
         # 
            #
      #        #
         #  #  #
   #
         #  #  #
      #        #
            #
         # 

Which, when rendered by the site, looks rather like a heart shape turned on its side.

How would that look like? Like what's the order of the dragons?

[Shokomon]

Bumping for new two heads!

 

I will update the OP once I get on my computer. My phone is fighting me.

Blancblack x F Magnesium

 

These are lovely.

Wow, the new Magnesiums look INCREDIBLE with the Blancblacks! Looking at the lineup of other Two-Headeds in the first post, I wonder how they would look with Nexus and Gilded Bloodscale dragons. (I'm not sure how to make templates as examples 😕 )

[Mewtie]

My favorite combination so far is female tan Magnesium Amphiptere with male blue Baikala, I think.

The Heart of Blue Fansite has a lineage maker!

 

Try that and take a screenshot!

[Lovecats]

I did a few mock-ups a few days ago. Here they are now:

 

 

 

[Falorni]

Biased towards volcano mag x male blancblack especially, but the desert mag x blue baikala looks incredible 😍

[dragongrrl]

I've dropped one pb from the desert and one from the volcano to the ap, and am still collecting as many cbs as I can. These are such beautiful dragons!

 

I love the desert Mags with the Duo-tones and think both Mags will go well with Hooktalons, but I also have an unreasonable wish to breed then with the Hydrophidius dragons. ❤

So....Any ideas on how these guys breed?

I bred some of mine and while I lost one purebred egg and got a no interest in another try for a purebred, I have three eggs which sort with their Magnesium parents.

 

"Grey" x Bauta = sorts with the grey adults https://dragcave.net/lineage/WrRAQ

"Tan" x Blancback = sorts with the tan adults https://dragcave.net/lineage/55TCX

Green Baikala x "Tan" = sorts with the tan adults https://dragcave.net/lineage/eKJn1

 

So they should hatch out their parents' color.

Oh that's a relief. Much less complicated! Thank you!

 

You should post this in the News thread if you haven't already!

I'd never heard of this until now and just bookmarked it. Thank you so much!

I used it to look at the Magnesiums with the Nexus dragons and think they're an interesting match! I'm going to try to post the screenshots here 😅
