The 1st Egg is the DragonVale PERIDOT Dragon egg
I also have been breeding and wasting gems trying to get peridot but still no luck, getting pretty angry, it’s one thing to make it hard to get a dragon but when it’s almost impossible to get a dragon that’s only here for a month that’s not right. I like to get 4 of each dragon. 2adults, 1 baby and an egg pedastool. But with like 5 days left and I haven’t been able to get even one, I highly doubt its going to happen. I was lucky enough to get 3 emerald, 4 pearl and 3 ruby. But I think my luck is gone now.
I wish dragonvale wouldn’t make it quite soo hard, especially for the time limited ones.
I tried many times as well until I saw a tip listed under the rainbow dragon. If you put crystal in fountain then use it you have a better chance, I got 2 the first tries after but trying for a third is really hard. Hope this helps 🙂
Thanks trinity I will try that.
It works… Brilliant tip. After trying all month
@jpry Same here lol but it was worth it thanks @trinity !!!
I’m sorry, I am a little bit confused ~ “put crystal in fountain”? What do you mean by that plz?
Fountain of youth bro
I’ll try it trinity thankzzz
I too have been very disappointed in this game. Not sure why they would want it to be impossible to get a dragon that’s only available one month. I have tried everyday for this whole month to no avail. Your gonna lose people if you make it this difficult.
Hey guys. Dont mean to boast but i just bred this dragon 1st time in january. So keep trying. I used the cactus and crystal combo in the normal breeding building.
I finally think I jus got one in the cave, using lvl 4 cac in left and lvl 4 crystal on right. Been trying all month with two lvl 10s in one and the lvl 4s in the other cave
Hey try put crystal first thats how i got it. And they were both fountained so they were babies.
Make sure both dragons have been in the fountain of youth. At least that was the tip I saw here and it worked twice in a row. I have 1 Ruby and 3 Peridot
***IMPORTAINT TIP***
So I’ve tried breeding this dragon for about…. Well since the stupid dragon came out. every time the same dragon was bred (cactus) well here’s a IMPORTAINT tip that worked for me….
I DID do cactus and crystal in the BREEDING CAVE crystal in left cactus on right but I also heard your chances Go up about 20% if you do it at a certain time of the day so I changed my phone time to 6:40 AM and that’s VERY important if you do it right you will get a 31 hour breeding time it worked for me and I tried so many times
Friend me: idgac14
Hope thi helped it worked for me if u have anymore questions about dragonvale email me my backup email is xxjenna109xx@gmail.com
I probs won’t answer till 8-28-12 I can’t accses my gmail till then
You said 6:40am, was this the time you started breeding them or was this the time you hatched them?
I just did it and I got it!!! Thanks so much cuz I wanted this dragon sooo much! Cuz it’s my month sign thing… Well thanks anyways!
i got a 25 hour incubation time ???
yeah… this is probalby 2 monts late but (monica) you got a peridot- congrats if thats what you wanted
I did it and I think i got it I got a 25 hour incubation time. THANK YOU SO MUCH I HAVE BEEN TRYING ALL MONTH!!!!!!!!!!! I did just what you said put my phone to 6:40 am and did crystal on the left and cactus on the right
6.40am in what time zone?
How come I got 30 minutes instead ? Uhhhhh so frustrated !!!!!!!!
@kn
I used gems to hatch as soon as I got them. Friend me on dragonvale my I’d is idgac14 and visit my park I accept any requests so u don’t gotta tell me ya user 😀

I also didn’t breed it at that time I changed my time on my phone to 6:40 am so the game with think it’s 6:40 since I cud never wake up that early
Okay thanks!
U know u could just do it in the afternoon right ?
Success! It took 30+ tries but I finally bred a Peridot. Two days ago on the EBI at 1:30 pm. Level 10 Crystal on the left with Level 10 Cactus on the right. Both full sized. I had over 100 guests in my park at the time. I don’t know which if any of these were contributing factors but that’s what I did. Good luck, this one was tough
Do we need of the epic bredding island to make dragons like panlong rainbow silver gold and others????
i got a rainbow with a normal breeding cave
I also was able to get rainbow with just the breeding cave
@luiz no u don’t I bred my peridot in the breeding cave. The only difference between them is ones a cave and ones a island. It just a way to get dragonvale players ti spend there gems so you have to purchase more. But good thing is it gives you the ability to breed 2 dragons at one time
Friend me if this helped my iD is idgac14
So, I finally am getting my 3rd Peridot! (I’m leaving it as an incubated egg on a pedestal… for decorating my island :))
The odd thing about this was when I bred it, the time said 25hrs. I only found out it’s a Peridot after I began incubating the egg, by then, the incubation time was reported as 31hrs. Anyone else notice this bug?
I used Crystal left (lvl 15, fountain of youth), right Cactus (lvl 15, fountain of youth) in Enchanted Breeding Cave; don’t remember the time of the day that I bred them, but I do remember having 180+ visitors.
Hi,
I have been trying to get Peridot and it just won’t work. I’m at level 19, I have about 80 visitors and my cactus and crystal is at level 9. I do have the epic breeding cave and the fountain of youth. I have not used the fountain for any of my dragons. Can someone help me?
I got the 25 hour incubation time so i hope its a peridot
Its not a bug. If you upgraded your breeding cave it saves you 20% oh breeding time. 80% of 31 hours is 24.8 hours which round up to 25 hours.
It is 25hrs because it the advanced breeding cave that speeds up mating
@ra did u use the upgraded breeding cave or the upgraded ebi? If so the cave when upgrades cuts 20% of ya breeding time. Oh and idk how much the breeding time is cut when it’s upgraded
Friend me: idgac14
Yes, I did use upgraded breeding cave! So that’s what it’s for. LOL. I thought upgrading it just made it prettier. ^_^
Lol it does speed it up AND make it prettier at the same time xD it’s a win win friend me on dragonvale im idgac14 😛 ps no prob
OMG the 6:40am thing worked FIRST try!!! Thanks a bunch I have been trying the whole month
I have tried everything and still can’t get it!!!!!!!!! I have tried every tip I can find and have had both beeding cave/island going constantly — I don’t get it!!!!!!!! What am I missing?!? I’m lvl 26 80 avg visitors I’ve tried the 6:40am thing. Using multiple cactus and crystals and nada……????????????????????
I wish there was room for mor than 12 dragons on the gemstone island. So then you cud have multiple of one dragon!
After trying this whole month and only getting one today I put cactus and crystal in both my EBI and my breeding cave and I got a peridot in both. Knew the odds would eventually pan out. 😉
@brendi read the other comment I posted it helped 2 ppl get the peridot. change the iPods or iPhones time to 6:40 AM ten try breeding. U don’t gotta wake up at six forty am just change the time on your device to it. It works rlly well I I learned that different dragons can only be red at certain times of the day I changed the times multiple times. Finally got it when I changed it to 6:40 AM. the real current time was like 3:16
Friend me if this helped: idgac14
What time zone are you in for the 6.40 trick to work? I have tried several times but it’s not working for me. I’m in the uk
@Eric Loh- My time zone is Central and it still did not work.
Thanks Brendi… I am in Singapore. It didn’t work as well =(
I just did 6:40 am if u in a different time zone then chandge your time to what 6:40 would be in Massachusetts (me)
@mon
Np
Still no luck even with changing my phones time to 6:40 am 🙁 🙁 🙁
@ciar
What time zone are you in if your in a different time zone then change to what 6:40 am would be in my time (Massachusetts))”
It is monica If used the upgraded breedibg cave it would be 25 hours it cuts the time by 20%
@siaris
Well what time zone are u
I got mine on the first try on the LAST day.
Hey guys, I think they are being kind on the last day. I got 31 hour breeding time with cactus & crystal in the breeding island.
Last day and still no luck 🙁 ive been trying all month cancelling all other breedings but still no peridot
Iv just put a cactus and a crystal in the breeding den and got a 25hr breeding time! Hope this is the peridot dragon :/
I actually got a peridot like my first try…..I was surprised because i can’t even get a stupid sun dragon and I’ve been trying for I don’t even know how long.
Send gem for gem at munchie6264
Second try and I got one!
I have tried 3 times and 2 times I got peridot dragons
didnt work for me.
Just got it, they released it for a limited time yesterday 🙂
It came back till Jan 7 don’t give up hope!!!!!!
I tried crystal and cactus as it says and got 24 hours what is it ??
Crystal.
Tried breeding this in both caves 100+ times back in August and couldn’t get it… Now they brought it back and I still can’t breed it (in epic habitat with both lvl 15). Both dragons had previously been in the “fountain of youth” – so I’m trying to breed ‘babies’ lvl 15.. I tried putting another one in the fountain and then breeding a day or so ago and that still didn’t work.
Any advise would be great. At this point it’s so frustrating I want to punch someone.
Regarding gemstone dragons I have had better luck using Level 15 dragons in the regular cave and Level 10 dragons in the Epic Breeding Island. Also might help using two new dragons that were hatched by the 2 dragons that you had been using in the attempt for the Peridot Dragon. Usually when I bred 2 or more gemstone dragons in a particular month, each gemstone dragon had a different combo of the 2 required dragons. Hope this helps.
I’m looking for a person to trade gems with… I have 2 people and need one more. My gamecenter ID is princessjessica 🙂 I’m on daily.
Quicksilver and Rainbow… Any combos?
I know a few for rainbow: blazing and lichen; and steel and flower. Hope that helps 🙂
This dragon is killing me, I’ve tried breading this and nothing else, using the tips and things people have posted and still nothing…… I’m getting really frustrated……
Same here. Dragons should be RARE, not impossible.
Finally! Got it! First thing my wife said is “I hate you.” Lol been trying since the special comeback session started. Cut it close lol
WHAT DID YOU DO TO BREED IT? (I’m lvl 40 so dragon lvl isn’t an issue)
this should be Crystal on left and Cactus on right, it worked on me, the cactus left and crystal right doesnt work … trebyrneh – gamecenter account
Got the Peridot at the very last moment! Haha so happy :3
I need more friends. I lost several of my friends in the last update. I need cash and gem friends. Thanks

I NEED HELP!!!!!!! My birthday is in August, so I reeeeeeally want to get this dragon, you know, as a birthday reminder! What are all the tips to get this dragon? Do I need the Epic Breeding Island? Because I don’t have enough gems to do that. Do I need level fifteen dragons? I hope not, cuz I don’t know how to get those. Somebody PLEEEEEEASE tell me the best way to get the peridot dragon, because it’s my birthstone!!!!
Firstly you dont need of those things…just luck!
Gem for gem friend. Beenie1948
