The second egg is an equinox
Nice. what combo did you use and what level were they?
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I GOT THE OPAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! It took me 2 tries, but I got it!!! I used level 8 mud and lava by the way. Yes! Now I’m waiting for my gemstone island to be summoned.
WHAT COMBINATION!
OMG OMG i got it first try thanks so much no used level 8 lava And mud but I did use the epic breeding island
Good!
Good luck everyone, hope you get 1 😉 😀 : D 😀 😀 😀
I tried with level 7 lava and mud and got a river I think. 13 hours incubation time. What level dragons is best to breed this?
This is my first try and I got river… does anybody know a what level Dragon is best to breed a opal?
Lvl 8 Mud and Lvl 8 Lava got first try, spent a week trying to get it with lvl 7’s.
as it says in the game it is always best to breed gemstone/special dragons with dragons over level 10
OMG, I can not believe it! Last month I spent all month trying to get a sapphire and I got it 4 hours before it expired. And I had level 10 dragons. I had level 5 mud and level 5 lava and I got an opal FIRST TRY!!!! :O I don’t think that’s very fair, do you?
That’s awesome!!!
LOL. Don’t complain! I found opal to be amazingly easy as well. Very welcomed change from how difficult many of the gemstones and other rare dragons have been. I wonder if DV made it easier because there were so many limited edition dragons for October?
I keep on breeding motley dragons… I think I’ve breed about 7-8 by now
I’m not seeing the Opal dragon available on my game…is something wrong with it?
It May be that you haven’t updated your game yet. 😉
What’s funny is that I was breeding two level fifteen lava and mud dragons in the win and two level ten lava and mud dragons in the breeding cave, and I got the opal from the level ten dragons in the breeding cave. Weird luck.
I meant “ebc”, not “win” (skyrocketed)
Ugh! “Autocorrect”, not “skyrocketed”
Lol

By Just using lava and mud? this is my second try, first I got a river ????
Have tried over 20 times. Still no Opal. I need to get a life.
I feel like this is taken forever, i bread a couple of dragons each day but didn’t get the opal yet, but i got a rainbow trying to breed the amber dragon.
anyone in for trading gems? I have 5 left per day, add me on GC as splyffen
Been trying to breed this for 2 months none stop, got 7 different resaults but still no opal dragons. My lava and mud dragons were both level 10. Anyone knows an other way to help me?
I got the opal on my 8th try and got river,salamander,bone,and another common one and then when I used my level 11 lava and mud dragons on my epic breeding island today,I got it.
Me my mum have opals but my sister who has the best luck on epic dragons, can’t get 1, weird!
I am having the worst luck with this! I need 3 more reliable friends to trade gems. I drop ppl who don’t send them back to me for a week! Gc name is princess daisy 84. Thank you
I need 2 ppl to trade gems daily plz… I play every day so am reliable… ID is: sniembra
Not one!! I must’ve bred 40 times at least. I’ve even leveled them up to lev 18 and their on the ebi, too! This seems to happen to be about every other gemstone and epic. I still haven’t gotten the bronze either. BTW– go light!!!
Ok… I really want opal terribly but I keep getting the same okd lava, bone, and no opal… any suggestions?
First, try leveling up your dragons. I leveled my Lava and Mud up from Level 10 to Level 12 and that helped me. Second, definitely use the breeding island if you have it. Third, be patient and just keep using the Retry button until you succeed. This works better for me than just sporadic attempts.
Kairos brought me good luck on this one! My Lava and Mud were breeding a Coral on my breeding island, and I used Kairos to finish it up so I could get one more try in before going to sleep. As soon as I activated him, I went over and hit that Retry button and bam – 1 day, 7 hours. Woohoo! 🙂
Hey, Could some of you possibly add me on Game Center? I’m not very good at the game >.<

It’s so unfair. I have level 15 mud and lava dragons and I have bred them all this mint without a opal dragon.????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
I have level 15 mud and lava dragons and I have bred them on the island for all this month but no opal dragon 🙁
Not sure WHY it’s always sooooooo hard to get these gem dragons. I’ve been trying all month without any luck and only three more days after days. In July I never did get the Ruby Dragon. I’ve even been trying more than half the month on both habitates. Grrrrrrr. About ready to give up on this game.
Lookin’ for some people to trade gems with. I play daily and I will send you a gem if given one. Simple trade, right?
Spent $8 on gems and still never got this dragon after 20+! Attempts with the Lava + mud. They armed both level 10 and it still didn’t work.. What a waste of money.
How do you get friends on here? I didnt have a facebook when I started but made one while I had it and now when I get on dragonvale.. it asks if I want my local or Facebook profile…ugh I thought making a facebook would link it so I can get friends and send gems… not make them seperate -_-
I tried all month, I play at least once a day, and no opal! This is my birthday month and all I wanted was this opal!!! 🙁
I gt opal by both my dragons being on level 12. On the island, I find th if you swap their positions it helps, good luck!
I am mad. I tried all month in BOTH breeding caves to get this stupid dragon and I never got it. I spent countless amounts of gems speeding up the breeding caves and still never got it! i must have tried the combination over a hundred times! And then I see people say oh I got it first try! Its soooooo annoying!!!! I hope they do the bring em back thing in December again. It isn’t fair. I am about ready to quit!

Here’s some advice, even though I haven’t got one. Personally, I would feed my dragons up to level 11 or higher, and breed them on the ebi. This means u need A LOT of food. Grow dragon fruit everyday, then u can feed ur dragons up without running out of food. Also, take the chance to get one in this bring them back season while u still can. Keep on trying, we will get one some day!
Also, be patient. Don’t waste gems, just wait for it to stop breeding, that’s what I do, and I still have enough gems.
My son got this with his second try with lava and mud both laevl 15. I’m loving this gemstone weekend.
I keep getting a coral dragon, help?
Me to but with river I’m trying to get mud to breed with my lava dragon but now I have like 5 river dragons I need help
Using Lava and Mud. Both level 16. Trying all month. Nothing.
Same here. :/ Level 16 for both.
Me too; lots of Bone, Coral, Salamander, Geode, but no opal.
Me too!!!! terrible!
I’ve been using level 13 for both lava and mud and still can’t get it 🙁
Same here. :/
How many ours does it take for a mud plus lava to breed a opal
