Last month it took like 8 hours to find the Opal combination. There's a 3% chance of getting this dragon with the right combo. That's an average of 1 dragon ever 33 attempts, with the CORRECT combo. That means someone would potentially (worst case scenario here) have to breed every combo of dragon at least 33 times to figure out what it is. Even if you have infinite gems, that would take a really long time. When Ruby came out, it said it was available at level 14, and it had Metal as one of the elements required. But even if you assume that it can't have water, air or metal, you still have a ton of combinations to try, with a 3% chance of success for the correct one, and a small percent chance you even pick the correct one to try.
