Have tried numerous times every day since the Garnet Dragon came out and using on both breeding places….are they just hoping people will get desperate and just buy it???? Not impressed !!!!
Got it !!!! Guess I spoke to soon. I tried Mikey77 suggestion of trying between 10:00&11:00pm and it worked. Thanks Mikey77 for the tip
I’ve had nothing but smoke and obsidian breeding in both caves all month and still no garnet. I call bs. Between 10 and 11 EST or PST
Please add me i will give you GEMS every day!! My Name is patz7thewinner in Game Center
Yay!!! Glad it worked for you.:)
Same here!! I was at my wits end… must have tried breeding this dragon at least 50 or 60 times since Jan 1st on EBI and breeding sanctuary……. was about to give up before i tried mikey 77’s tip. got 31 hours on EBI. Bred obsidian & smoke at 10:05 PM.
Psyched!!!!! This is the first gem dragon ive managed to get! Thanks mikey!
10:05 PM what time zone???
Wish it would work for me! I’ve been playing this game for almost a year but never been so frustrated as with this dragon!!! I feel like I’m so angry ill quit DV if I don’t get it lol
I got it twice, both times with a FOY smoke on left and reg obsidian on rightt
FOY?
Fountain of youth
What dragon should I use? Obsidian and smoke or smoke and obsidian? I will try it around 10-11pm too. Hope it will work. Il update you guys oon
Between 10-11pm.. What time zone? I’ve been trying consistently with nothing but frustration and disappointment to show for it 🙁
Getting desperate… going to try time trick! Do you think time zone matters?
Totally agree and believe its a scam. I have bred at both the island and cave countless times – over 24 for sure and never come close. Lava and obsidian s every time Long breeding and incubation periods and no value. Sucks
try obsidian & smoke btw 10pm-11pm like mikey said above. worked for me!!! finallllllyy!!!!!
Agree and second your scam comment
I was thing the same thing. If I don’t get this I may just give it up. I have two going constantly at the same time and nothing. It is just too frustrating. Good luck in your quest to get it.
think i got one 30 hours and 59 minutes? in breeding cave! in probaly going to breed another one to sell.

Hello everyone… I have a dragonvale account and would like to say something…
I understand its gem for gem but I would like support for just a couple days to help my grandpaw out…
He is trying to get the garnet and its not working for him :/
He only has 3 friends and to help him rush breed for it in the final days can you please add him…
His gamer tag is cndtr…
My gamer tag is storm the sexy…
I would not like any gems but would like the support for my grandpaw..
Thank you for your time…
Did he get his garnet?
Have had no luck what so ever. This may just be the first gem dragon I fail to breed which sucks cause who know if they will do another breed em all thing again
I completely agree glad I’m not the only one totally aggrevated! I’ve spent so many gems trying to breed this thing I probably could’ve bought it in the shop. I dunno I refuse to spend actual cash buying gems. This makes me mad!!
I have tried this as other people have stated since the start of january with the same combo (Smoke and Obsidian or Obsidian and Smoke), however no luck, I’m beginning to become very frustrated!!
I did this combination ( obsidian + smoke) all month daily ,
with no result of A Garnet , then tonight I tried as stated above , to try
Between 10-11 pm and it worked finally!
Does anyone know how to breed this Dragon. I’m so desperate for a garnet,but I can never breed it! I have tried at least 50 times with the suggested combo. If you help me breed this then write down your Apple ID and I will send you gems.
Hey people I found out breed the right combination but think of another dragon in your head then BAM the dragon you want 🙂 reply if it works!!!!!
I havent been succesful yet but im going to try Mickey777’s idea 🙂
Mickeys idea actually worked, i am dumbfounded i just got 1 🙂 u guys should give it a shot
Just tried it – didn’t work. Grrrrr
Still nothing. I hate lava and obsidian dragons. I’ve sold at least 20 ! Just bred a mine and a cactus and got 48 hrs. It’s either a sun, moon or platinum. Finally something I want !
I tried both cave and island between 10 – 11 and got the same old crap. Maybe I should try eastern rather than mountain time.
Don’t bother it doesn’t work in eastern time either.
Smoke and obsidian is the BEST combo. I’ve got two of them!!!!!!! Add me Ayrmdragonlord17
I have been trying to breed this dragon virtually nonstop since it came out. Tons of lava, obsidian and smoke. Zero garnet. I’m so frustrated! This will be my only missing dragon. Are there any other tips anyone has found? I’ve been trying everything in both cave and upgraded island. I even tried uninstalling the game from my phone as someone suggested and have still come up with nothing.
I’m at 72 fails this month. Smoke and Obsidian (both level 15’s) in both caves all day non stop since the second of this month. Never failed at a gemstone dragon this many times. I cant help but wonder if this is even possible on my iphone. Is this some kind of scam?
I’m over 40 attempts and feel the same way zoo. My thought now is that the dragons have to be below level 10 perhaps. We are running out of time. Hate lava obsidian dragons. They take a long time and have no value. Wasted time and gems
trying since January 9 .. and i dont have it yet -.-‘ … I breed only Obsidian and Lava Dragons -.-
I’ve been trying since the start of 2013 on both the breeding island and cave. 🙁 I can’t get it!!!
Add me as a friend I gem daily, if you send me a gem!
Hardest time ever couldn’t get all month,saw post about time ,,,thank u I got it smoke n odsedian at 10:40 pm eastern time :)) wow didn’t think I’d get it
I’ve been trying too, stupid dragon….every day since it came out and sometimes even 2 to 4 times a day….and nope not one….again I say….stupid dragon….
;3 more tries and more obsidian s Sucks big time with only 2 days to go
Every level combo of obsidian / smoke and nottA. Scam I say.
When a cave produces the same dragon over 60% of the time you should BE able to change your cave at no cost for a new one.
I’m so pissed at my friend who got that dragon on regular island at 2hAM. He said he didn’t even tried that much. I’ve been breeding since january 1st . Switiching from new obsidian and smoke dragon. Wasting all my money in order to get them to lvl 15. Breed them between 10-11h still no success. I’m about to write to Paperflip directly, this is totally unacceptable. I’ve lost an entire month trying to get this BS dragon. Only getting freaking blazing on my EBI and always smoke and obsidian on my regular. I know I’m not the only one, thats why I call BS. Only 3 days to breed it, They better give it to us for free the 31th cause this dragon is cursed for sure.

I agree. I have also been breeding no stopping and so far, I get smoke after smoke ….. At some point, I will not play any more
Hahaha you guys wanna laugh? I wrote directly at Backflip studio technical support, explaining the ” bug” on the garnet dragon. Also stating that a lot of the players were tired and frustrated about it, wanting to quit the game just because of this. I don’t know why… I waited for my breeding to end, then, said what the hell I’ll go with smoke and obsidian this time. both lvl 15. and BOOM! 24h48 ( i have an updated breeding island). I’m so glad I finally got it. Maybe they saw my mail and fix the problem, but I don’t know. It worked first try after I did that xD!
It didn’t work
I’m almost out of time, going to try at 10 and hope it’s my time zone. “But there’s no sense crying over every mistake, you just keep on trying till you run out of cake!”
Just burned up all of my gems breeding between 10:00 and 11:00pm all for nothing. This game has become a source of nothing but disappointment. Pity because I used to enjoy it so much. May be time to pull the plug unless BFS decides to loosen their iron grip between now and 01 Feb.
What if we were to boycott DV for a day (the 30th) as a signal for BFS to knock it off and let us breed the garnet dragon on the 31st? Who’s with me?
Guys mickey77 was right.
I’ve failed smoke and obsidian all month but earlier today while looking for a solution I came across the comment saying breed between 10-11pm so I decided to wait. I almost forgot but I just tried breeding smoke and obsidian and its 10:56.
Breeding time is 24:00:48:00, that the upgraded breeding time. So in conclusion….
I FINALY FKING GOT IT!!!!!!!
Congratulations on getting the Garnet.
I also got it though my method is different.
I hatch a smoke and obsidian (which I did get after my failed attempt), Got them to Level 11, then Breed them at the Breeding Island. And FINALY I GOT A 31 HOUR BREEDING TIME!
This dragon is so hard to get!
I wonder if the February gem dragon is like this hard to get also?
Good luck on the last day everyone, I hope you get it also!
I’m still trying. Keep getting smoke dragons

I wonder if updating the app would help
Grrrr it’s getting down to the wire and I still can’t get this one. So frustrating
I know. Me too. It is very frustrating. Tried updating the app itself , deleted and reinstalled the app, everything. And still nothing. I’ve got one shot left and if I don’t get it, I will be ANGRY. :/
This is ridiculous. I’ve tried 20+ times and tried all of the tricks suggested and no dragon.
Please help! I am getting desperate. Had around 39 smoke dragons so far. Is the Garnet bugged?
50 attempts at least including 4 last night. All resulted in obsidian / smoke or lava These guys suck big time ! Defies the odds on 50 plus tries. Used a ton of gems so I’m pissed
We all are.
Add me gust1781, and Check out my awsome dragons
oh wow~! that time frame trick really worked! i got it on my second try nice! actually i just had my smoke dragon just this morning (jan. 31) then tried breeding it but got an obsidian. after waiting for them to breed(since i dont have EBI yet) and waited till it’s 10:20 pm AT, i pushed my luck on that trick and poof!
i’ve just started playing around jan. 19 i guess and since then i tried my best to catch up with this gem dragon haha! actually i’ve played this before on ios but now im on android so anyone wanna add me up on fb: Marvin Daboi let’s trade gems every day i’ll just pick the first three. post on my wall so that i will know 🙂
