Does anyone have a CB musky egg they'd be willing to trade? I could try to breed something for you if you'd like? I can't find one anywhere!

I'll try to help you find one (or anyone else who is struggling), but I'm currently egg locked so it may be a day or two before I can start looking!!

Have the glassy one, need the musky one ^-^

I FINALLY got one of the musky eggs... FINALLY. I only missed a CB silver and two CB thunders along the way too

CB Silver is currently at the top of my wl

I love silvers. They’re probably my favorite breed. Can’t help collecting the CBs or nice lineaged ones haha.

Why are people bothered whether or not the dragon is cb or not? Never understood that. Also, what constitutes a good lineage?

Well CBs tend to be harder to get. Some dragons are really hard to find in the caves, like golds and silvers which makes them worth a lot. Lineaged dragons are worth less in most cases since it’s easier to get them. You can just breed and breed until you get the dragon you want, and there will be many other dragons with a similar lineage as the one you just bred. It’s different with CBs where you actually have to hunt for them in the caves, where they appear pretty randomly, and hope no one gets it before you do when the egg you’re looking for actually pops up. Or, if you’re trying to trade for a rare CB egg, you might need to look for or breed a number of other dragons, depending on what the other person wants.

As for lineages, patterns are considered nice. Checkers, spirals, and stairsteps are the most common patterns. This is an example of a messy lineage. Even though it’s a prize dragon, it’s really not worth much because of how messy the lineage is. Also, lower generations are usually worth more, though there are exceptions.

Hope that helped, or at least made sense lol.

I understand, but... it's still the sort of dragon, whether or not it's from the cave or what it's parents are.

Messy lineages don’t look as nice as cleaner, patterned lineages, so the demand is lower. A CB gold could easily go for a 2G prize or maybe even a Neglected Dragon (which are notoriously hard to get), but a lineaged gold probably wouldn’t go for anything like that, even if the lineage is nice. I like the CBs more cause I can start my own lineages with them instead of trying to continue a line someone else started.

You’ll also be able to offer more when it comes to trading. I’ve been able to do IOUs for 2G silvers or golds from one of my CBs as an offer for something else I want.

Most people just freeze their messy lineaged dragons. Some people even trade rates for groups of messy Hatchis just for freezing, but few people would freeze a CB, especially if it’s a rare one.
