2021-08-22 - August Dragon Release

[schmupti]

Thing I did not know till now: White dragons can Ward fogged eggs.

 

That means you can see what stage of cracking a fogged egg is at - handy if it's under 4d already and you're trying to time an earthquake.

I come bearing good news. Copper x Pyropellis makes GREEN! Because scientifically when copper is burned, it makes green light. 

What’s even more interesting is they no interested but it still turned green? Can refused pairs still initiate a colour change with the flames?

Oh huh, interesting!

 

Updating my list:

 

[lexi_]

ive done some tests of myself! results under spoiler

 

Spoiler

exalted pitfires are green!

 

  

and regular pitfires are orange.

 

this one was unexpected though... youd think this would make the cyan variant, but female hellfires are orange.

 

male astaarus makes orange, as does luminox.

ive also texted blue xols, aeons, and spitfires, and they are all orange. 

 

i was just testing with aeons and xols, but spitfires i really thought would produce a cyan variant... 

guess not..? 

 

edit: added hellfire/other results

Crossing with Carina dragons produces blue flames, even on an unsuccessful breeding

Okay the spitfire one surprises me. Their description even says they have blue fire.

yeah, thats why i tried it, because i knew in their encyclopedia that they produced blue fire.

part of me thinks that maybe cyan ones arent being produced because of a glitch..? unless someone has a confirmed cyan that i dont know about. spitfires and female hellfires surprised me, but im not sure.

I find it really curious that even the "don't show much interest in each other" reaction still achieves the color change! I guess when we shove the dragons at each other to introduce them, they end up standing close enough for the flames to be affected even if they decide not to mate =P

It's wild to me, though, that all of these different dragons with different colored flames on them, or unique dragons like Coppers, have all been programmed to produce their own colors on the new Pyropellis. That seems much more complicated to implement than it being based on element, as was originally speculated. Like, doesn't that mean TJ and/or the artist had to go through the entire list of dragons and individually decide which ones would give which colors based on their artwork? o.o If so, I really appreciate that effort and attention to detail even if these dragons aren't for me personally. If not and there was an easier method, nothing wrong with that 😅 It's still a cool concept that players are having fun with! Thank you to all involved!

It's these sort of releases that just make me so awed by programmers and coders and people who can make this sort of thing happen. I know my way around computers in the sense of how to fix things when they go wrong, but stuff like coding a website and especially whatever intricacy must be at work for *this* sort of mechanic, it's just amazing.

Just been confirmed that someone was able to create a cyan Pyro by breeding Red Fire Gem (F) x Pyro they no egged unfortunately but it still transformed into the cyan flamed colours.

Very much so agreed 😅 As I was sitting here reading the thread and learning how the new mechanic works, that's all I could think about!

I'd assume Hellfires are solely because the males are still orange... can't say for Spitfires though!

[Elizabeth Moonstone]

I can confirm Red Fire Gems produces the Cyan color.

Brimestones give blue. Looked it up, sulfur burns blue.

Here is the red Firegem with Cyan fire

I felt like doing some theory-crafting on the Pyropellis' variants and which other dragons may be needed to obtain them.

<trim>

I've been keeping this updated to the best of my abilities.

[Dinala1641882]

I made a spreadsheet for collecting the data in.

Pyropellis Flame Colors

Users are welcome to add their data to it.

[Mangrit]

I got my very first skittish hatchling! "Killed" it at 4d 23h non-incubated with a big hole in the middle. At least I've seen for myself that it can be done, lol

 

3/4 of my attempts died though RIP

[Terces]

7/7 of my attempts died. No skittish for me, feels like I wasted my time and scroll space for the past few days on those. >_<

A difficult release again, but doable, thanks for the New Release ^^I would have hoped for nude Pyro with the gooey Waterhorse, but no:  https://dragcave.net/lineage/Sz5xW,  Arcana did the obvious, green https://dragcave.net/lineage/i2yzq

Wait-wait hang on, I did arcana and it didn't change. https://dragcave.net/lineage/HdQxT

[0x08]

That's two and a half more findings for the list.

Arcana is weird! I love it!

[tjenni]

curious with the Arcana 🤨

[Tini]

Someone else needs to try male arcana, maybe they're bugged.

[Silverwatermist]

I wonder if the Arcana dragon is random on purpose? They're highly magical and their description says, "These dragons have specialized organs for storing mana, and can produce varying effects from these reserves simply through instinct."
