I’m thinking scoria and some type of fire dragon
CANNOT BE SCORIA! IT CONTAINS METAL!!!
Gem dragons have contained metal in the past. Ruby for one.
– The Doc
Forgive me but Ruby was available at lvl 17 also, the same lvl metal becomes available hence it being able to be in the combo. Garnet is lvl 14 you can not have metal at lvl 14, so that person is correct no metal this time. 🙂
Definitely something with fire, and even though others say no metal, I’m thinking rust as one of the dragons to breed
Water or air must be some part of it because they become available at level fourteen too.
i was guessing lava and scoria
I’m trying…
– The Doc
Might want to try seaweed and obsidian matches the level requirement and they both have characteristics seen in the garnet dragon.
I do realize the look of the dragon usually has nothing to do with it but I just think it might be a good combo to try.
Dragonvale wikia just posted sonic and ash doc
Never mind they retracted it
yeah a lot of sites jump the gun and post fake solutions hoping for traffic.
– The Doc
Someone on dragonvale wiki posted mud and flower works. So worth a shot
Well, I’ve gotten 7 Leap Years with that, so if anyone wants a Leap Year, try Mud and Flower.
– The Doc
I got a leap year with magnetic and lichen
Can’t be scoria. Scoria is a metal. Metal is a higher level than gemstone.
Ruby is bred with Scorch and Chrome. Chrome is metal. Makes no difference what “level” the elements are.
Wow it amazes me how many people play this game but don’t bother finding out the breeding rules that go with it. Level matters and just as you pointed out Ruby is bred with a metal hybrid that is why Ruby is available at lvl 17. The same lvl as metal.
You can not breed a dragon with an element you don’t have access to and as Garnet is available at lvl 14 and you can’t get metal until lvl 17 you can not use metal to breed it.
Thank you Doc!
I’m thinking Lava with a water element.
i think it is lava and storm. i will report after check 🙂
No metal it’s available at lvl 14
I think it’s a iron and a forge
I need 5 friends that play daily and will trade gems daily. Please add me if you have room to trade daily.
I’m there for you gorgeousgoddess
Gum MACENSTEIN do u kinda like hack?!???!???!??
Do u buy the dragons or breed them?!?!?!
-_-
He breeds of course cuz how would he know what to breed if he bought them???
Im thinking firefly and obsidian try that Doc. On account of only two legs =Firefly and On account of color Obidian
Plz add me, will trade gem for gem! Ign is” MONTY..!”
Happy playing everyone! And happy new year!!
Just because the Level requirement is 14 that doesn’t mean that Metal can’t be included in it. Level 14 is where you can get the Gemstone Island and you need that to place a gem dragon. That;’s why every gemstone dragon is level 14 requirement.
No, the Gemstone Island is available at lvl 11. Each Gemstone dragon has a lvl it becomes available on e.g. Emerald is 11, Pearl is 14, Ruby is 17, and so on. They become available at the lvl of the highest element in them. (Ruby is 17 because it has metal)
Now Garnet is lvl 14 and at lvl 14 Water and Air elements become available so it must have one of these in the combo, and will not have metal because it is not available at lvl 14.
Yes, it does. If you are level 14, you can get a Garnet dragon with any dragons that you have unlocked so far. As you cannot unlock metal until you are level 17, metal or a metal hybrid CANNOT be used…
Hmmm Thanks for that info. Since I started with Peridot had NO idea about the Emerald and Ruby combos. But if that’s the case then no Metal. Thanks!
judging from the color of the fins and eyes, i would say swamp and seaweed are one piece of the puzzle.
Dragons combos rarely have anything to do with how they look. And gem dragons rarely have anything to o with the gems they are named after, unfortunately.
– The Doc
figures that would be the case. lol
thanks!
DOC u ROC! Gem for Gem. Add me!! Chilll66
How about lichen and blazing?
That’s just what I was about to say! Gotta be it!
Add me please rickrippenorgi gem for gem
Well, level 14 is air/water, so maybe sandstorm and lava or something?
I got leap year with chrome and scorch
Glacier and lava
Did u test it
I’m about 50 tries into this and losing faith… and gems…
who knows?
– The Doc
I have an app that suggests Glacier and Lava. I’ve had very good luck with their suggestions
possible, but I’ve tried it about 65 times so far. Let me know when you get it.
– The Doc
Also, a lot of apps/sites post a combo just so they can post something, then post the REAL one after it gets discovered.
I’d like to see shots of the EGG if anyone gets it please.
Thanks!
– The Doc
I’m thinking seaweed and blazing someone said air and water dragons and someone else said seaweed may be one because of the fin like structures I agree please add me 🙂
Just tried crystal and fog on ebi and got a 28 hour breeding time. Could it be?
I think it’s going to be an Olympus dragon of some sort, sorry.
– The Doc
Hav u tried lava and crystal maybe that should work
Could*
Maybe Obsidian with a Water hybrid like Seaweed or mud??
Doc. Thank you for your help. I’ve tried to friend you so that I can send you gems but I have been unable. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
I’m thinking that it might be rain and something. (Obsidian maybe)
Hm, it mentions in the description shimmering, I remember that was one of the dragon track catagories. So maybe a lightening is a part of it, also I looked up “Amalthea” or the other name mentioned in the description, she was the mother of Zeus and also a nymph. Maybe nymph = earth or plant?
Need 2 more reliable people to trade gems – Nate E Bug
I added you – please trade daily, thanks!
Nope-it was a bronze Olympus.
Need one gem trader dedicated gem trader youngsavage19
I added you – please, one gem every day
Add me. RickrippenORGI
try a plant/fire combo, like tree and firefly
So I just tried blazing and ash and got a 39 hour breeding time on the ebi. What is that?
Nothing is 39 hours… Unless you are upgraded and approximating in which case it is probably seasonal or rainbow. (I think)
It’s a rainbow, unfortunately.
Got my gem traders. Will send gems soon as I available
Doc- how do we send you gems? I added you in gamecentre but nothing yet.
Try glacer and lava
I will be honest and say that until all the “bring them back” dragons disappear, no one is going to have much luck.
i got all of the bring them back dragons. i was missing pretty much all of them necause i just switched to android and had to start over.
This may be the toughest one yet.. I can’t even begin to think what this one is.. Add me gem for gem and I don’t lie like others do just to get a free gem.. I play every day and I got every epic dragon x2 and on display and I have every dragon and there eggs.. Just saying I take this game serious!!.. Lol GC name is the same as my posted name
Just had a look at your park, very nice – you need to upgrade your epic breeding island mate!!!
How is it possible to look at someone’s park unless you’re their friend? Or is it not possible? Sorry am I being dense?
I added him and he accepted straight away, so I went and took a look. I’m Chrissy20Man if you want to add me!
Thanks will do!
Thank you .. I been meaning to up grade it!!
Need a couple more gem traders. I play multiple times a day and am a serious player. GCID: sasha_08 Thanks! 🙂
I also have every dragon egg on display on my Egg Island. Including all of the rare eggs and all of the available regular eggs grouped by category. I also have an Olympic Island that I did up for the Olympics. The others are a little crowded but ai am waiting for a new island so I clasp read some stuff around.
I think it must have earth and water/air.
Hey doc! Got it with glacier and lava:)
swell. send me a pic of the egg.
– The Doc
Really! Show us the egg!!! I really want this Dragon!!!
it should have water in it look at the tail 🙂
See, that’s what I was thinking. It has the appearance of some water in it.
Possibly Firefly and Pollen is what I was thinking. Only because the Pollen and Firefly dragon look the same as the Garnet…
I am trying glacier and Lava. No luck yet!
I think crystal and fire
its got the same horns as obsiden, so im thinking crossing obsiden with a tree (once my smoke finishes)
is it a hint that it came from the shimmering isles?
just adding more info
ill try glacier and lava too later
Looking for some friends on dragonvale, add me! My nickname is mustangmellie
Metal can’t be included if its available at level 14. Think bout it. If you’re only level 14 and it’s available, the combo can’t be anything with metal. For example if it was chrome and scorch, you can’t breed until level 17 cause you can’t get chrome yet. Some of you are idiots. If you think level doesn’t matter, go breed chrome and scorch at level 14. Knock yourselves out, dumbasses.
I thinks it’s like Rain+Blazing, because Rain and garnet have like the same tail:D
After some thought over the text and color of the dragon, I have come up with the conclusion of the Ash and Mud dragons.
If you run out of ideas/tests, please try out this combo. It’s possible it could work.
Obsidian and forge maybe, haven’t tried yet. Obsidian cause of the horns. Forge the colour.
And u can breed the metal dragon on lv 14!!!! But u can’t place it……
