April acquisitions: [+6, -1]

whoaaa earth ancient! I was expecting a light ancient in June for BSJ, so this took me totally off guard. I think they’re mid (approximately sandsurge tier) but that didn’t stop me from immediately getting two of them (one clanbound, one purchase).

Q: Why does it take so long to post these every month?

A: Because I have to name the dragons lolol. This has been written for weeks but I couldn't post it because the dragons weren't all named.

Bought: (3)

  • Jeremiah (Apr 5, 15kt) [progen g3]: female skydancer | charcoal orb | blush paisley | gloom glimmer
  • [originally: python]
  • haha gloom glimmer
  • Acquired her for breeding: I needed a progen g3 to mate with Dune (g3) so that one of their kids can be mate to Lysander (g4). She is very dapper though. Might keep?
  • Goewyn (Apr 17, 190g) [7-digit]: female dusthide | jade harlequin | magenta | lemon spores
  • [originally: coatl | ripple | shimmer | underbelly]
  • [plan: marlin] [not paying 300g on AH for a coli gene lmao, I can wait]
  • new breed! new impulse purchase! whee! someone in FRD mentioned wanting to get an oldie to turn into the new breed, and I was like “great idea” and here we are
  • Ziggy (Apr 27, free): m-pose wildclaw | sanguine iridescent | sable bee | leaf okapi
  • [originally: circuit]
  • dragon for the Mistjam Hainu Herder skin. I was complaining about the lack of color variety on AH for wind wildclaws (admittedly a niche market) and worm offered to breed a moderate range wc/coatl pair for me. I said sure. a month passed, and I figured worm had forgotten, which was fine; the impulse had passed on my end. but worm did NOT forget. the nest (hosted by Jera) hatched today, and one of the hatchlings turned out great. (needs silhouette, but it’s FINE, better than a wc scroll lmao)

 

Hatched: (3)

  • Vares (Mar 26): male mirror | phthalo metallic | brown foam | sand runes
  • [lineage: Locke x Zenika] [Razanei g4]
  • [originally: obelisk, paisley]
  • Delayed fodder serendipity: I wanted someone for the Dragonhome Monument skin (Rockbreakers 2023), but it’s hard to find blue-and-brown dragons. Most of my options were g1s, and none quite hit right. I put it on the backburner. Months later, Zenika just handed me the color profile I wanted. How is she so good at this game??
  • (For those keeping track, we now have six of Zenika’s kids—Venndarien, Sancia, and Guyen via Carnivale, and Cyril, Raxter, and Vares via Locke.)
  • Wenzdei (Apr 16): male guardian | purple flaunt | eggplant breakup | pistachio runes
  • [lineage: Thranduil x Rosencrantz] [Razanei g5] [BotU g4]
  • [originally: toxin]
  • Runoff from my Breed Out the Ugly project. He wasn’t good enough to keep as-is, but he was good enough with a gene change (which disqualifies him from being the heir). we love green & purple
  • yes his name is a misspelling of “Wednesday” is that a problem
  • Niall (Apr 17) [clanbound g1]: male dusthide | orca fade | honeydew hex | sanguine spores
  • egg! egg! egg! I was loudly predicting scrolls in multiple venues and now there is egg on MY face
  • I was on the fence about keeping this guy (his sibling sold for 34g) but FOMO is getting the best of me—I like the orca/honeydew synergy, and orca/honeydew/red-range is really hard to find.

 

De-acquired: (1)

  • Vaedren (f skydancer, Razanei g4) (sold for 20g): I did say she might not be truly permanent. I’m keeping two of her younger siblings (Lysander and Taeyeon), and Taeyeon is better at being flagrantly ponk
