    • A. R. Powell says:

      Me too

      • Dyeyar23 says:

        I wish we could gift eggs too… Just be patient dudes… We still have 23 days to breed

        • Kim says:

          its easy to say just be patient… I have other dragons I would like to work on too, but keep feeling like “this might be the one” so I keep putting lava and mud in both my breeding areas three times a day and get the same two stupid dragons. Though I will say that I am super happy that Crystal is not a fail for this.

          • Maggwinn74 says:

            I also had the same problem I kept getting lava and mud so I tried a combo I saw on here where some one used rain and lava and got opal on the first try but I got panalong my first so went back to lava and mud and after 4 more tries I got opal it’s in breeding right now 31 hours I have been at it since day one after many many lava and mud I finally got opal so keep trying it will happen good luck 🙂

  14. Ak_coppertop says:

    Lava and Mud gives you a… Lava or Mud dragon. I have tons now. Where’s my Opal?

  15. Tia says:

    Advice: Give it a rest, breed some other dragon and then breed LAVA(left)+MUD(right) on EBI. This is how I got my 2nd and 3rd Opal. Good luck 🙂

  23. Sandy says:

    Phew! Finally got one breeding…. Took me 2 plus attempts per day since the first . I was about ready to give up. Now if I can only get at panlong or rainbow….

    • Maggwinn74 says:

      Omg… Lol I just got my first panalong I read on here some tried rain and lava for opal and they got it on the first try so I tried that combo and got my first panalong I went back to lava and mud and after 4 tries I got opal but try rain and lava 🙂

      • Sandy says:

        Thanks!! I have been trying that, but keep getting mud and fog. I am sooooooo tired of mud!! Gotta love this game…. When you are ready to hang it up, it rewards you… Torture!

  24. CJmoonstar says:

    The egg is very beautiful but the dragon? Hmmm. I just got a gemtree and I need 6 friends to trade gems with.
    So the first 6 wil be added and sure to get gems back!! CJmoonstar. (Why those difficult nick names? Keep it simple.
    Doc do you know why they never change the music

  25. Don K. says:

    Earlier today I got my third Opal Dragon using Lava (Level 10) and Mud (Level 10 ) in the Epic Breeding Island. From Wednesday (10/ 3 , 7:00pm to 10/9 , 5:00am I bred Lava – Mud 32 times and got 17 Lava Dragons & 15 Mud Dragons). Advice to people still looking for your first Opal Dragon —- Hatch and save 4 or 5 of your Lava and Mud Dragons, after 8 to 10 failed attempts with one set of dragons use a new set. I got my Opal Dragons using 3 different Lava – Mud combinations.

  26. Hello says:

    Ive tried getting opal 20 times bt it all failed. I used my lvl 12 lava & 11 mud.,any help. Who should i put on the left?

    Add me gofatpeople

    • Don K. says:

      I have found thatvI am better off using two Level 10 dragons than two dragons at a higher level (11-15). Also I would recommend using two dragons at the same level (ie. Lava 12–Mud 12). For my 3 Opal dragons I used Lava on the left for all three but I believe that for some players Mud on the left may work better.

  27. Gizzmod says:

          I just added you and recieved a gem from you. THANKS :). But you’re not showing up in my friends list in the actual game when I’m trying to re gift. I do Gem 4 Gem daily, I’ll keep looking. Wondering If there is some kind of problem, since you say no one gives them back.

  44. Susan says:

    Well at the rate I’m going, I’ll have enough earth dragons to complete my shrine. But, no opal.

  45. Swagturnon says:

    OMFG.I keep on doing the same combo but all I get are lava scorch sonic and mud.i have been trying for like days and still haven’t gotten yet.Hopefully I won’t have to take 200 tries like doc did.xD

  46. Alisper333 says:

    I’ve been trying to get opal for weeks!!! I only have the normal breeding cave so it might take a while… Add me and send me gems I sware I will send back ASAP GC: alisper333

    • Theh0wards says:

      I’m in the same situation. I have no luck with mud-lava so far, it could be awhile but I want him now for October!

    • Freddie says:

      Hey Allisper, it’s only been 2 weeks for all of us, I think ‘weeks’ with 3 exclamation marks is a bit OTT. I’ve just got it today with mud/lava, first gem dragon I’ve got for all the time they’ve been available so I’m very pleased though I really liked the sapphire one. My daughters got 2 now with same combo. But she’s always lucky with them.

  47. Yretsym says:

    Still trying to get the Opal, getting nothing but lava and mud. Add me and I’ll trade gems: yretsym

  48. Dyeyar23 says:
