Dragon Cave-Have eggs or Dragons?

Epona, from a quick look at your scroll, if you are trying to get everything, I think you need:

gold, silver, two-head, and paper dragons, plus all the non dragons: chicken plus 4 different dinos

Plus there is the christmas and the 2 special secret whatever dragons, but those are weird cases that don't really count.

Yeah the paper dragon totally slipped my mind.

Not really interested in the dinos though, that's why I left em off.

I must have the chicken!! :P

Aww....I think the site is down today. I have been crazy busy with school and was going to take a break and check the forum and my eggies... bummer. Ah well, just means I'll have to get back on to check them later!! ^_^

Not just down, but offline! Geez...hope nothing happens to all our eggs and hatchlings while it's closed. :(

TJ has posted that he'll credit hatchlings and eggs for time lost, so there should be no problem as far as dying due to running out of time.

Why is it that Firefox thinks "hatchling" isn't a word? :confuzd:

At least this happened on the same day the Spore demo came out, so I have another way to waste my time. Just what I needed. :oops:

Hehe... ah games, what fun. I've been wasting my time (what wasn't given to the snakes) on our online D&D games.

And good to hear that the eggs and hatchlings won't be hurt because of this. :D (and yeah, I know what you mean about the word thing...gets annoying.)

It's back up!

That darn chicken egg keeps slipping through my grasp! Darn dialup!

What trick?
I used to have one, but I forgot the username and password.. oops.

The dark green egg was abandoned? I'm not sure what type it is but it has less than a day to live. :[

OOOO Got a paper egg!! Woohoo!! Uh oh Epona's gunna kill me! :O'

The trick Chaotic is talking about is that I helped one of his/her last batch of hatchlings grow up by refreshing the post a bunch of times (like probably 50). It was low on time and I had noticed by clicking them to view the stats on the individual dragon that the ratio was low on views as opposed to unique views and clicks.

WARNING! Refreshing somebody's scroll, or any other place (such as this thread) where you view their dragons can KILL eggs & hatchlings if done too much. I knew it was safe with this particular dragon because the ratio was low. And the only other dragons getting refreshed were adults, which can't be killed in this way.

I originally thought that you weren't allowed a TOTAL of more than 4 (5 if breeding) eggs & hatchlings. But that is incorrect.

What it does is if you are trying to take an egg from the cave, it checks to see if you have 4 or more hatchlings. If you do, you can't have the egg. If you pass that check, it checks to see if you have 4 or more eggs. If you do, you can't have the egg. If you pass both of those check independently, then you do get the egg. It never totals up how many hatchings & eggs you have together.

If you are breeding, the checks are done the same way, except it uses 5 as the number instead of 4. If you fail the check, the egg is apparently auto-abandoned, and you'll have to wait a whole week until you can breed those 2 dragons again.

So, getting 4 eggs all at once is ineffective. They all become hatchlings at the same time, so you have to wait until they are adults to get more eggs. Get 1 or 2 a day, and you'll have a constant rotation where you can add new eggs.

Actualy I was talking about that :) But thats helps too!

Holy S****! I can't believe this thread has 47 pages!!!! :O

I still want a male two-headed but haven't been able to get one yet.

Red egg doesn't seem to be getting as many hits as usual, but maybe that's just from the site being down that day. Grow ya little bugger.

Havng the worst trouble catching the eggs I have left, man I hate dialup.

Well, Casey noticed....

AARRGG!! No fair!! :D These days I can't even get the darn page to load up on the hour... grrrrr

Ok, now I'm officially angry with that site! It won't load a THING until 15 after!! And I have 7mbps DSL!! I'll never get the last eggs I want now...

Ack! I didn't even realize he was so close! Thanks to all that helped him grow up!

yeah i need these bad boys to hatch...and mature haha look at how many clicks the gray hatchling got!! 53 BEFORE IT EVEN HATCHED! nuts huh. i adopted it, it had been abandoned lol but i need clicks!! keep em comin!!!

Does the dark green egg always turn into the vine dragon?? if so ill abandon it since i have two already.. also what about the light green ones, do they too turn into the one in my siggy?

I did finally get an orange egg and the weird green one.. its not light or dark green kinda inbetween.

how do we get some of these more rare ones?!!!! im goin nuts here :rolleye2:

ETA: i have gone through and clicked a bunch too ;)

so i tried to abandon one and this is what happened!!

You abandon the hatchling while it is sleeping, but it wakes up and begins to follow you.

---

drat.. you cant abandon an egg right after you get it. I did do the view-page trick and was able to see lots of eggs (like 7 within 10 minutes) but could i get them??? noooooo because i have too many eggs lol

ETA: UGHHHHHH there are three more eggs!

ETA#2: now i have FOUR of those water serpent dragons.. the first two stages (mr freeze & gluttonforpunishment) are frozen for good.

Hmmm... I had no idea you could "fail" an attempt at abandoning. Thanks for sharing that.

I don't think you can "freeze" a hatchling in the younger hatchling stage. I know it allows the action, but I believe once it gets enough views/clicks, it will still grow to the older/winged stage, it just can't turn adult. Now, as long as you don't put it in your signature, it will probably take a really long time to grow up, but you'll still get the occasional view on your scroll.

All eggs match a certain adult dragon. So, yes, the dark green egg always turns into the vine one, and the light green egg always turns into the mint one, and so on. Usually the description of the egg gives a good clue (dark green/vine one says the thing about the patch of grass & flowers), but not always, such as the black egg/dragon having the description about glowing green.

The only exception to the rule about eggs always matching the same adult dragons is the silvers and the 2 headeds, which have different males and females, but it still matches. I should say, that is out of the CURRENT dragons. Based on the suggested dragons, there may be exceptions to this rule in the future.

PS - What does ETA mean the way you are using it? Doesn't seem to fit the meaning I know... (estimated time of arrival)

ETA: edit to add ;)

thanks for the info regarding the egg color.. thats how i thought it worked. at what point can i abandon the egg since i already have two of them.. thats cool it sound slike i have a mint one... wonder what the other green one is. Is the dragon in my siggy the same as the mint one? Or does it develop into something else? Thanks for all your help... this is such a cute little thing they have going.

The one on your siggy is a mint youngling.

Typically you can abandon the eggs the day after you get them. I accidentally clicked on an egg I didn't need the other night and was able to set it aside the next afternoon. :)

Well, I've frozen the hatchlings I had since the grey was another female (drat)...so nothing new for me. :(

I just hope my luck gets better in catching those metallics! Every time one loads up it's already taken!

The site itself gets very slow on the hour because of all the eggs flowing in.

Rare ones are so hard to grab.
I want to make an encyclopedia of all the different kinds of dragons and their egg color and such. :]

Hah! At least I picked up a new white (better be a male) and two-headed (BETTER be a female)! :D

Still on the hunt for those metallics...

:[
I don't understand why I can't name my hatchling.

D: D:

It says this:
You try to write the name, but the ink disappears as you write, so you decide to try something else.

Discouragement?

YES i finally got a red one!!!!!!! its relaxing in the scroll for a couple days

If the ink disappears when you try to name a dragon, it means that name is already taken. Every dragon in the entire database needs a unique name. So if you are trying to name your dragon Joe, but someone else already has a dragon named Joe, you can't use that name.

TJ did code in a neat thing that if a dragon is unviewed for a long time (a month maybe, don't remember how long), it will lose its name, so at least you are only competing with active users for names, not ones that haven't logged into the dragon cave for a year. This does mean that viewing a dragon by name to see if the name is taken is a bad idea, because you'll ensure that the name stays taken instead of becoming available again.

If you didn't know, you can view a dragon by name like so:
http://dragcave.ath.cx/viewdragon/n/little_girl_blue
Note the /n/ and the underscores instead of spaces in the name of my water dragon, Little Girl Blue.

Don't feel bad, I haven't been able to get any of the rarer eggs at all. :(

With a little help, I've got the paper egg! Yay! I was starting to get really frustrated not being able to get ANY of the eggs I was missing, so I'll admit I recruited someone with highspeed. :P

Whoo hoo! I got the blue egg! ^_^ I've never even seen it before, so it wasn't a matter of not clicking fast enough, it just never showed up for me.

I guess it would help if I put it in my signature....I thought I did but I didn't save it after I did it. I looked at my scroll and couldn't figure out why the little guy didn't have any clicks! :P

yeah i finally got a male and bred him but i abandoned the egg cuz it was the exact kind he was. i haven't been able to get any of the more rare eggs either, every time there are any eggs there, the descriptions are....its bright. and Pink.
Wow, purple isnt the color of egg you expected to see.
and
this egg is rather warm.

almost always! and anytime i see a different one that i might not have, its always gone. :( what is the trick everyone is talking about to see more eggs? pm me.

Thats like, the same thing with me.
All the eggs seem the same. :[

Are there specific rare hours or something?

i dont know, if there was i wish someone would tell us haha

oh yeah and i cant get anymore eggs cuz i have four hatchlings, so help them grow up so i can get more eggies!!!

I see them a lot... but they're always taken when I click on them. You just have to be fast and refresh a lot.

And when I bred, I just froze the offspring of my two blues as a hatchling. :) That's another good option for a repeat egg.

i dont understand the point of freezing though. is it just so you have a pic of the dragon as a hatchling forever?

I think so, I think it's just if someone likes the way a hatchling better than the adult form. :]

I have high speed internet, like really nice internet, and when I try to go to that site on the hour it takes forever to load for me. D:

Only on the hour though.

yeah me too haha i hate it! but im gonna hafta wait a couple days for some new eggs.......

Ya a little help from ME! lol! Been neglecting my own babies to get you good eggs!

chaotic.. looks like you gotta good one!! i dont have the paper one yet

I can't ever seem to get it on the site anymore~ it just refreshes forever without it ever really refreshing :weirdface Don't know if it's my connection (cable) or my laptop (new) or the site or just simply my timing..... :(
