Tips for getting a Gemstone dragon (I've only bred 6 total so far, but my friends have way more than me using these tips): • If you haven't had any luck with one pair of Scorch + Chrome (or a different combo for a different month), breed a new pair or one dragon in the pair. I've found that some dragons are just plain unlucky. • Some people have luck switching the order. I have the best luck with two set pairs, so the same dragons are always breeding with each other. This only applies if you have the island as well. When it comes to switching, do it in a pattern. Switch after every breeding, every two, three, four, etc. That or not at all. • Keep track of number if breedings and results of those breedings. If you get 1 Ruby (or Gemstone) dragon, write down the time you bred it. Some people breed their second Ruby at the same time as their first. • Speed up only the fastest breeding dragons. If you speed up long breeders, not only is it expensive but you'll have it stuck in your nursery. • Give your dragons a break. I do this after a long breeder (like Forge), I breed a Gemstone, or if I speed a dragon up. The break can be 1 hour to 1 day. Try not to go over or you're just wasting time. After you finish breeding a dragon, just stop breeding in that cave/island. Then start again after the break. • Do not give up! Getting a Gemstone (Ruby) is a largely random process. Basically you just need to breed non-stop. These tips may help you, they helped me a lot :3 Sorry the post is so long.
