good question. i don't know if there's a factual answer to this, just opinions.

ive been playing for almost a year and a half and, in my opinion, it really seems random between players.

if i had to guess, i'd say gemstones are tougher to acquire. sometimes rares and epics will appear after one, or a few tries, and sometimes it'll take days of trying. But gemstones, i've had to try for weeks, even occasionally resort to using about 300-500 gems to acquire some of the gemstones before their expiration date. whereas, i've never had to use that many to get any of the other epic dragons. although, i have heard of poeple trying nonstop breeding for the whole month and not get one. On the other hand, there's this wikiuser's blog: user:kingchosen where he acquires 37 Aquamarine dragons in the month! and he's doin it again this month.

Kinchosen's 37 Aquamarine blog

does this help? no. but now i feel as if i accomplished something important today.
