Hey thanx for the info but it is now mid June. My gamecentre is Pokètrainer
Don’t breed them until you have bought two. Then breed them together. I did this and I have 12 leapyear dragons an 10 rainbow dragons. I also have every dragon I have seen. If you are my friend I will give you gems. My gamecenter account is sean gan d v

I think it would work. I haven’t tried it yet, but I’m going to wait 4 years. I asked you, Doc, to be friends. Please accept. I really, REALLY want to see your Dragonvale.

I probably won’t see your request. Once you have 500 friends Fame Center doesn’t alert you anymore unless you drop a friend. What’s your username?

Hey Mac thanks for the invite, it shows us as friends in game center, but it doesn’t show me as a friend in Dragonvale so i cant gift you. 2 of my friends have Dragonvale and they also disappeared on my gift list. Any ideas?
I think DargonVales friend list is messed up. Just wait for Backflip to straighten it out. A lot of people are having problems it seems.

All limiteds are back including this one
I just got mine first try on the epic breeding island, and one in the breeding cave first try. Island was blaze and swamp and cave was bluefire and crystal.
gem 4 gem , i currently have no one to send to. add me please! eniradian10 << game center name.
Why is blue fire gone from market
Ok guys is it the leap year season or the moon dragon season? Thanks!
(it’s 18 december)
all of the limited dragons are back until Jan 2 2013. Every single dragon you can get now until then. Except blue fire and frostfire for some reason they have disappeared :/
blue fire and crystal 30 hours any ideas?
If it is not in the upgraded cave it could be a pearl, saphire or topaz? If it is in upgraded possibly panlong. Just a guess though.
ebi or regular cave?
29 hours- 30 minutes with Blue Fire and Crystal Dragons is a Blue Moon Dragon.
AWESOME!
It’s a blue moon. If not in a upgraded cave.
Bred Poison Dragon and Current Dragon 14 times without success ( 3 Swamp, 5 Poison, 2 Firefly, 1 Scorch, 2 Cactus and 1 Flower). Then bred Scorch Dragon and Swamp Dragon 9 times without success ( 2 Flower, 2 Ash, 1 Firefly, 1 Scorch, one Poison, 1 Cactus, and 1 Seaweed). Then tried Level 15 Crystal Dragon and Level 15 Lichen Dragon and got 14.5 hour breeding time(Leap Year Dragon) first attempt. All breedings in the Epic Breeding Island. Used 125 gems to speed up breedings and hatchings.
YES…… Crystal 15 + Lichen15….. FINALLY……. THANK YOU

Accidentally got this… twice.
I was trying for a Saphire and bred rain + mountain. I hurried it up because I didn’t know what it was so I hurried it up. It was a leap year, did it again and got another.
🙂
All limited dragons are back but has anyone else lost blue fire and Frostfire?????
Yeah both are missing from my market too, but I already have them bred.
I tried rain (15) and mountain (15) in the upgraded cave and got a 12hr 23mins breeding. Is it a Leap year? =D
No.
It’s a ghost =(

Just got a 14.5 hr incubation time with a Lichen and a Magnetic, both level 10. Here’s hoping!
I tried this comb and it worked. Thanks for suggestion, 14,5 hours in breeding cave now. So happy. lolzzz
Think I got it with cactus and steel
Does anyone know how much time exactly this dragon would take in an upgraded cave?? Thank u beforehand!
leap year in upgraded cave takes 11 hours and something minutes
Accidentally bred a leap year dragon, level 10 chrome and scorch, trying for a firework
I Got the Leap Year Dragon with blazing and swamp level 10 on the EBI,I’m so happy. Guys keep trying for this dragon
I got one using Mountain (10) & Poison (10) at the upgraded cave. =D
Lava and Lichen in normal breeding cave. Thank you BFS for making all dragons available at the end of 2012. And of course thanks for the awesome site!
While trying for an Emerald Dragon with the Crystal Dragon (10) — Lichen Dragon (10) combination in the Epic Breeding Island I got my 3rd Leap Year Dragon. All with the same combination.
U r lucky I tried firefly and seaweed kadrilion times but still haven’t got it now I’m trying blazing and swamp like it says do u think its a good combo?
is it epic breeding island or normal?
Don’t have blue fire. Tried gift + crystal got it first time!!!
I’m going to try this combo. I’ve had both breeding islands going nonstop trying for the leap year. I’ll try this a couple times before moving on to something else.
I was doing the same as you,trying these combos for the last 2ish weeks and never got a leap year. Finally cactus and mine worked for me while trying for an apocalypse. Good luck
I am getting sick of rainbows I must have breed 50000000000000000000000000 of them by now
