  2. Jade says:

    Tried Many times but failed.

  3. Rowlings says:

    Thank you so much! Just got the egg. Going for number two now!

  4. Me says:

    It no work. Any 100% true, one time breedings?

  5. Layla says:

    It worked the first time! I got the butterfly egg with the combination of blazing and firefly. Thank you so much!

  6. Deston says:

    I tried it 20 times now never got it yet

  7. Tarran says:

    ive tried both like 20 times or more and still no butterfly, this happened with the sakura dragon and never got it in time..

    • Sandra says:

      Same with me… never got the Sakura one in time and uts the same with Butterfly… its been more than 20 times and nothing

    • JT says:

      I feel the same…I Got bloom and clover dragons and love dragons but didn’t get Sakura even if I tried 100000 times and now I can’t get b fly with blazing and firefly OR firefly and wind for 1000000 tries

  8. Nick says:

    Tried firefly air firefly air firefly air a bunch of times tried air firefly first time no problem

    • For pretty much every dragon I have found that the order does NOT matter, despite what people say. For instance I got a Plasma with Lightning and Seaweed, and my wife got it with Seaweed and Lightning. So mix it up if you’d like

  9. Cam says:

    Well I’m level 21
    Used both combos over 5 times each and all I’m getting is more blazing or fireflys
    All my dragons ads lvl 10

  10. Neil says:

    Both combos don’t work.

  11. IJsbustertje says:

    Got it the second time I tried air-firefly

  12. Terre says:

    What is the record for the most attempts? Seriously, I may have broken some records.I also don’t have the pan long,rainbow,blue fire,dodo. I’ve tried the combos you listed in different combinations. What gives!

    • Sorry pal, It really DOES seem to be somewhat random as to when it will work. I got my first butterfly after my 5th attempt, and my 2nd after my 15th attempt. Some people are getting it on their first. All I can say is keep trying, and feel free to mix the order.

      • BreederOne says:

        There is a huge amount of luck involved, for good and ill. Having issues with the butterfly dragon, on attempt 15 or so, and it took me forever to get my first rainbow, but then again I got the emerald dragon first try. Its frustrating waiting for those stubborn ones, but it will balance itself out again.

    • Todd says:

      I tried for the blue fire about 50 times before I got it sometimes it just takes a while

  13. NurseJackie says:

    Blazing / firefly about 10th try. Yeah!

  14. Suz says:

    I have tried all combinations, in the normal breeding cave and on the island continuesly since it came out, most of the time getting more fireflys and blazings. Just read all your comments, and what do you know!
    I have a 12 hour breeding session with air +firefly!

    Goes to show, you just got to keep trying!

  15. tay says:

    add me at taycarlson4 and how get rainbow

    • I got 3 rainbow dragons and 1 leap year dragon but I want to know how to get a moon or sun dragon

    • Ayman says:

      Hi for the guy who said he can’t get bluefire. Level6 lichen then level8 fire. Dunno how it worked but first try. And butterfly scorch and air-got me a firefly firefly and air has 12 (lol if bluefire)

      Also I bred seaweed and metal and got iron! What on earth

  16. Borrannoahdtimm says:

    Well like my 30th time and still no butterfly, I’ve tried everything!

  17. Penelope says:

    Terre…don’t feel bad. I do not have pan long, rainbow, moon or dodo.

  18. Terre says:

    Hi. Back to report after the umpteenth try, and a tiny dose of shameful whining – I have a butterfly egg. (heh-heh) I think there’s a moral to the story- never,never,never give up! Thanks for the friendly user guide,Doc! 🙂

  19. Karl says:

    I have every dragon you can get except for butterfly and now the new gem dragon. I’ve tried air and firefly about 45 times. Just gotta keep trying. BTW Gem dragon you can get with LICHEN and CRYSTAL.

  20. BrianL33 says:

    Lvl 10 Air + Lvl 10 Firefly in cave worked for me after about 20 tries. Its the best combo to use because for failed attempts the wait time is shorter than the other viable combos. If you use Air and Firefly and get a 12 hour timer then you definitely got Butterfly. As with any viable combo, getting Butterfly is random, so stick with it and you’ll eventually get it!
    PS: I’m looking for gem friends. Add me if you’re looking for someone who will actually gem you back!

  24. Aaron says:

  25. SakuraloveSakura says:

    I got gemtree and looking for gem buddy. Add me, SakuraloveSakura

  26. Qiro says:

    I haven’t tried to get this dragon yet. I’m still trying to get an emerald dragon. I bred Crystal and Lichen dragon a few times and no result for emerald but I got Sun, Rainbow and Moon dragon by breeding them.. This shows that it doesn’t have to be combination that everyone use. You could make your own combinations… So good luck everyone!!!

  27. Cait says:

    I got an emerald with Crystal on the right, Lichen on the left, both 10s, in the cave.

  28. C says:

    AHHHH I still can’t get it. I haven’t got the Emerald dragon either, and time is running out so fast. I hate my luck, but hopefully I can get at least one of the two by the end of the month 🙁

  29. Bobbydragon says:

    Worked first time on epic breeding island

  30. Emily says:

    After three failed attempts with air and firefly I tried blaze and firefly and worked first time!

  31. sinishi says:
