Hey doc can I call you doc oc

The Soulhammah bids you all good fortune in your quest to breed
the latest gem yet he has frustration deep in his soul…
The Soulhammah loves nothing more than a day at the races, but his
dragons grow uneasy…..
“Why do but a few get compete?”
In a word,fellow breeders, discrimination.
The Soulhammah has studied the problem and sees but one solution
There MUST be more events at the track.
What of the lowly rust dragon? The beautiful butterfly who can never
show his worth?
Please think of the dragons that cannot sprint freely like the sonic or the clover
I am soulhammah
I got 1st place with Clover on Ulster Meadows track. And Sonic on electric skies track. I think matching the right dragon to the right track is very important
Good luck. Jan
I won the medow race with a butterfly TWICE.
Hey doc does it matter what level they are cuz my cactus is level 11
As long as they are over level 4 and breed able I have never found level to matter in any combo.
– The Doc
lol once again you’re absolutely correct (as usual)
TO Erfan: the only thing the level of the dragon has an effect on is the amount of money the dragon will make and leveling up the shrines. It has absolutely NOTHING to do with breeding or aiding in breeding or increasing your chances of getting what you want.
Thanks for the great help I just hope I read this before I raised another cactus dragon ๐
Oh and my cactus was in the fountain of youth does that change anything ? Doc oc this is a question for you
Add madmaniacmax927 on gamecenter for gems every day for th rest of ur life

I got a 24 hour time. Will it be a peridot or something else?
Something else. The incubation time listed in the shop is how long it takes your dragons to breed.
crystal is 24 hours you’re looking for a 31 hour wait or if you’ve upgraded a 24.48 wait.
its a crystal dragon
can some one tell me another way to breed this dragon? Just in case cactus and crystal doesnt work.
If you buy some of the peridot tributaries (the olivine thingie in decorations) and post it near your breeding cave, it should help. I had a level 10 fountained crystal on the left and a level 10 non fountained cactus on the right. I currently have a 31 hour time. ;D Macenstein works. And there’s this nifty app that is similar to this site. I double check things on Macenstein, but it’s pretty accurate too.
the ONLY way to breed the peridot is crystal and cactus – and having decorations near your cave only helps make the place look pretty it does absolutely nothing to increase your chances of getting the peridot
Hi guys! add me JOROYJO got one crystal cactus.
Now i was worried about to not to get the olymus dragons in the month of July becuase it Will be anoiying to get the peridot dragon. I allready had the silver,bronze now 31 July i

How do you breed a peridot dragon
cactus and crystal is the ONLY way there are NO other combos. And don’t get discouraged keep breeding them until you get one, that’s what I’m doing. And don’t listen to any morons who tell you they got it using ANYTHING else. BFS only uses one combo to get the gem dragons they put out and CACTUS CRYSTAL is without a doubt the combo. Good Luck ๐
Hey doc no matter what I do I cannot get a gold Olympus, gold, or peidot dragon what should I do? And do u have any tips on how to get more gems without buying them?
Please add me. I have a gen tree and no one to send to.
What is your gamecenter id?
post your gamecenter nickname and I’ll add you ๐ I already have a way full list but I will make room for you <3
CRYSTAL AND CACTUS!!!! I havent tried yet cause im still trying for da olympic dragons but thats the combo said to work
Got mine with Cactus / Crystal on Breeding Island. Took a few tries but finally got it. Trying in Breeding Cave as well but haven’t got one there yet. My Egg Island has every egg that I know of so far on display. Check them out if you like.. Also check out my Olympic Island ๐ Thomin8r on gamecenter.
Just got peridot with crystal and cactus both level 10 in regular breeding cave on 2nd try! YES!!!! Wait I have no gems to speed it up…….s**t.
Just got a peridot gragon on my second try with cactus and crystal! Please add me, gem for gem! My username is MIBUGNU!
Cactus and Crystal is a good combo. I got Peridot at first try.
lol cactus and crystal is the ONLY combo lol
I sure hope this works! I’m gonna try it!! I’ll notify you guys of it works or not k?
Doc, does it matter which one is in right or left slot? Cactus and crystal? Or crystal and cactus?
Thanks!!!!!
Nope, but I did Cactus First.
– The Doc
I just got it using crystal then cactus.
My sister Got it 1st try but I’m on my 1st and 2nd and both were 12hrs….
What was the outcome of your 12 hour wait? Because I bred cactus and crystal not to long ago and it’s taking 12 hours /: which dragon did you get from it?
12 hour breeding time is a Moss Dragon. 14 hour breeding time is a Tree Dragon.
this is all for breeding places that have not been upgraded:
If you breed crystal and cactus and get:
6 hours – quake
1/2 hour-cactus
12 hour- moss
14 hour-tree
24 hour- crystal
OR your magic number of 31 hours – that’s your peridot.
When your breeding places are upgraded the times become 20% less than what I listed above. Good Luck ๐
Add me i have no friends and a gifting tree up to 6 gem for gem ID munchlaxx852 my b day is in august so really want peridot!!!!! Tried 8times with cactus and crystal and keep on getting quake and tree!!!!!!!!

Hey Dragonvale Family! 31 HOURS YEAH! Just confirmed my first Peridot Dragon breeding Cactus on left and Crystal on right. They are on the Epic Island. This was my 6th attempt. I will transfer to incubation pedestal tomorrow. GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!
That’s SO cool!Congratulations!!! Im still trying and lost in a forest of crystal eggs but I still have lots of time left ๐
Im here at Malaysia.. Its the 3rd of August and at 5:15 AM.. I bred Cactus and Crystal on the Epic Breeding Island and I got 12 hour breeding time and after a few seconds.. I hatched a new Crystal egg and fed to level 10. After that, I bred it with my Cactus dragon level 10 that is already been in the Fountain of Youth, which mean it is in Baby Form. And I got 35 hour breeding time. And now I have a few questions:
1. What is the 12 hour breeding time?
2. Is the 35 breeding time is the August Gem Dragon, Peridot?
3. Does the Fountain of Youth (makes the dragons look young again) effects the chances to get Gem Dragon? I got a Pearl Dragon by sending my dragons to the Fountain of Youth too… By the way, Doc, if you are reading this, please make a experiment of this. I would be very happy if you do!

The 12 hour breed might be the Moss dragon.
The 35 hour breed is a olympic dragon. It can be bronze, silver or gold. The Peridot takes 31 hours to breed. The fountain of youth only affects the dragons look, to make it younger. It will still make as much cash/gems as before ๐
Hope it helped!
Oh sorry!!!! It was a 31 hour breeding time.. Sorry was confused about the olympics..
Guys.. It was a mistake it was a 31 hour breeding time.. And I waited a while and after that I used 27 gems to speed it up and it was a Peridot Dragon egg! Btw, here’s a tip: My friend said breed it early in the morning.. And I breed it at 5:30am and it worked!! Good luck! You still have alot of time

I keep trying cactus and crystal and I never get it. I’m only level 19. Do you have to be a certain level?
Its definitely the combo my sister and aunt both got one with that and there is only ever ONE combo for a gem dragon. Keep trying you’ll get it and you have all month ๐ Im up to my eyeballs in crystal and tree eggs and down to 6 gems (from 700) so I feel your pain believe me lol
and you only have to be level 11 to get this gem dragon ๐ ๐ ๐ so you’re good to go for sure
I tried about 11 times and wasted about 1345 gems
Ughhhh!!! Me too. Even doubled up and pulled stock from hibernation and was using both the cave and sanctuary! Ughhhh .. No luck with Gold either I keep getting bronze I think my luck may have run out. !!!!
You can add me: teresasz86. I have no friends and gift tree
