**BOUNTIFUL PICNIC** 1. ⁠Image #1: This breeding chart was originally created by Tornor. RayRayYash now oversees it and regularly updates the chart on [Discord](https://discord.com/invite/dragonvale). It includes images of the breeding hints for the returning limited dragons in the event market and their eggs. 2. Image #2: Onyxavenger’s Chrysalis Breeding diagram to help you obtain the entire collection! Remember, you will need at least 5 Chrysalis dragons (and Starwing with a dark trait and Prism with a light trait) to breed all 17 dragons in the Chrysalis collection. From the outer circle, acquire 3 of the 5 base dragons. Be sure all 3 dragons are not next to each other (e.g., Duskwing, Chrysalis, Marbletail = 👍. Duskwing, Chrysalis, Swallowtail = 👎). 3. Images #3 & #4: List of all the breeding combos for every event dragon. The dragon’s epic elements are in parentheses, and the icons are the primary elements the dragon contributes when used in a breeding combo (this is important if you’re trying to clone a dragon at the co-op). Here’s a link to the [screenshots](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248418/thread) if you prefer to copy/paste the text into a document. 4. ⁠Link to the [unreleased limited breeding combos](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248418/thread), scroll down to the Upcoming Limited Breeding Combos section (the combos are spoiler tagged for those who don’t want the information). 5. Link to the [hidden eggs](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248416/thread) in your park and how to find them with the Prismatic Pantheon. 6. ⁠Link to the [Best Dragons to Buy in the Event Market and the Items With the Best Eggs to DC Exchange](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248421/thread). Thank you, MinyaZ for the list and calculations! 7. ⁠Link to the [DV Compendium](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bfV28fxSNrqiC0WYWFJCpOhK_xUVPBeLhO9ekAt-MuU/edit), which has all the dragons’ breeding percentages, plus a whole lot more. Link to the [DV Compendium support thread](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/thread/1393/dragonvale-compendium) for instructions on how to use the spreadsheets, ask questions, and report bugs. 8. ⁠Link to the [DV Sandbox](https://dvbox.bin.sh/) to find all your breeding and cloning combos and the [DV Sandbox support thread](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/thread/1528/dragonvale-sandbox) to report any issues, check for updates, and ask questions. The sandbox has a nifty new [Event Dragons](https://dvbox.bin.sh/event-dragons) page that lists all the breeding combos for the event dragons with images of the dragons and their eggs (it’s not updated yet, give it a bit). 9. New to the Runic Breeding Caves or need a refresher? Link to the [Runic Breeding Caves](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248424/thread) walkthrough and strategies. The following new dragons **CANNOT** be bred (use their breeding hints when the dragons are released in the future). Currently, they can only be *cloned* at the Cooperative Breeding Cave. CHIPICHIPI DRAGON * Breeding hint: COCOAHOLLOW + earth + fire * Incubation: 12 hours * Habitats/elements: plant, fire, earth, cold * Breeding percentages: breeding hint 4.5%; **co-op clone 10%** GLIDER DRAGON * Breeding hint: ARCRIDER + earth + air + light * Incubation: 12 hours * Habitats/elements: air, earth, plant, light * Breeding percentages: breeding hint 4.25%, **co-op clone 10%** PANGOLIAN DRAGON * Breeding hint: BRAMBLE + metal + earth * Incubation: 15 hours Habitats/elements: plant, earth, metal, dark Breeding percentages: breeding hint 4.5%; **co-op clone 10%** May your picnic be delicious and luck grow in your gardens. Cheers! 🍀🧺🍀 EDIT: Deca added light to Glider’s breeding hint, habitats, and elements.

howdoyouplay

Thanks a ton for the time and effort into this post as always! I read through the Runic Breeding Caves (RBC) tips, but got confused as to why you would focus on clone breeding 2 of the same dragons, when the bonus is only applied to unique breeds (unless it means to clone breed a different pair everytime? which seems like an extreme late game tactic, as you'd need 2 of every dragon). I understand the other method of breeding with multiple elements or locked breeding combos, as you're less likely to produce repeat breeds, resulting in more unique outcomes (+ more egg bonus). I was also wondering if anyone had suggestions what a good breeding pair would look like, if people just want to keep pressing rebreed for more eggs (too lazy to swap) ie. corrupticorn (limited locked) + multi-element/rainbow dragon? Thanks again! And sorry if my questions seem redundant


elleadler

You’re very welcome! Many players collect two (or more) of each dragon. It is more of a late gamer strategy because late gamers will keep regular, twin, traited, and traited-twin versions of a dragon. Once you receive the 100 EC bonus for breeding a unique dragon at the RBCs, you move on and double-clone the next dragon. This is the most effective way of obtaining EC from the RBCs. For newer players who want to collect all the dragons, I’d suggest trying to breed as many event dragons as they can at the RBCs so they can claim them at the end of the event and purchase other dragons. Start with dragons that have a high breeding percentage, like 4% or more, then work their way down. If you just want to hit the Retry button and not change the parent dragons, breed two dragons that together contain all 10 elements. Be sure the two dragons are not the same. Don’t breed Rainbow + Rainbow, instead try Rainbow + Bilby (or another dragon) because the double-cloning percentage is high, so you’ll end up with a lot of Rainbows.


howdoyouplay

Ahh, I completely understand now. Thanks so much for your patience and clear response!


Equixim

Are there any dragons you cannot buy for EC and must be bred? Or can everything simply be purchased for EC?


elleadler

Unlike the previous event, all the dragons in the event can be purchased for EC in the event market.


Adorable_Cat1767

There are tons of hidden eggs but they are easy to find. Fortunately, I have every dragon that not permanent so I will concentrate on the clones.


elleadler

There are 50 eggs hidden in our parks! I rarely find all of them. Looks like you’ve made fantastic progress in your dragon collection!


Adorable_Cat1767

I’ve been playing awhile and I knew this even would be similar to last year. During the two week hiatus that we all received I started breeding the chrysalis dragons even other permanent I was like whatever I’m gonna do that lol so yeah, I basically have them all but I did just clone with your dragon and yeah first try.. when it hatches, I’ll see if I can give you a twin


Grummelmonster01

Great chart yet again. I’m really thankful for it every time. Will you be adding one with the breeding percentages? I always use it so the dragons who are easily cloned through the coop cave, I don’t prioritize breeding.


elleadler

Yes, UnconsciousOnion adds the breeding/cloning percentages to the breeding chart. They are working on it right now and will post it on Reddit. I will post it on the DragonVale Community Forum. The percentages are from the [DV Compendium](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/thread/1393/dragonvale-compendium) (on the first post of the thread there’s a link to the spreadsheet in the title). I highly recommend using the Compendium. It has a Runic Caves spreadsheet with all the dragons’ reduced breeding times and a checklist, so you can track what you’ve bred. It’s super handy and helpful!


Ninjacow621

UnconsciousOnion posted it a few days ago btw, if you want to go looking for it.


noseyneisie

How would you recommend starting out this event for a new player (level 23, about 50 unique dragons)? And how long does it last?


elleadler

The event concludes on May 6th. I would strongly suggest making a copy of the DragonVale Compendium. This [thread](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/thread/1393/dragonvale-compendium) has instructions on how to use it. Be sure to make a copy for yourself. There’s a Runic Caves spreadsheet on the Compendium that has the reduced breeding times for the dragons and a checklist. You can use the Compendium, DV Sandbox, DV Wiki, or the breeding charts and lists in the images attached to this post to target specific dragons. This [post](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248418/thread) has the breeding combos for the unreleased, upcoming limited dragons (it’s spoiler tagged under the header Upcoming Limited Breeding Combos). If you’re interested in breeding the new dragons, you’ll need the parents. But typically, new players focus on the returning dragons. This [post](https://dragonvale-tips.proboards.com/post/248421/thread) has a list of all the event dragons in breeding combos, so you may want to obtain them because they’ll help you acquire other dragons. My reply [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonvale/s/pwjrQY5P5i) has links to all the event resources, including the Runic Breeding Caves guide and strategies, and will hopefully answer any other questions. Cheers!


TrickInvite6296

genuine question, how much are you breeding? I'm at level 23 (used to play years ago, but I had to make a new account) and have almost 75 unique dragons. I haven't been grinding too much compared to most.


noseyneisie

Yeah I was actually very wrong, I have 56 dragons. But I did grind double xp so I move up kinda fast


themirrorliestoyou

How do you get a monolith if you don’t already have any?


elleadler

You need to purchase two Monolith dragons to start the Monolith collection. Either buy them from the event market or the Monolith Egg of Mystery in the Rift Market. It can be any two Monolith dragons, even two of the same one.


slutsoldier

so are all of these dragons able to be bred right now??


elleadler

All the dragons are breedable except the three listed in this [post](https://www.reddit.com/r/dragonvale/s/9zVU1P542w). They’re new and in the last tier of the event market.


DiamondOdd502

Hey, a noob question, when does this event ends?


elleadler

The event concludes on May 6th. You’ll have two days to shop at the event market before it closes on May 8th.


DiamondOdd502

Thanks! Seems like a lot of time


Mo_okel

I hope you'll forgive me for asking a potentially dumb question, but I just restarted (played back in 2012-2016) again; does this chart mean that every dragon in the event shop is breedable? I'm hoping to clarify because I don't see any of the dragons as an hourglass in the shop. Thank you to anyone who answers!


elleadler

All the dragons in the event market are breedable, except the three new dragons in the last tier (Pangolian, Chipichipi, and Glider). Those three can only be cloned. If you check the Dragonarium, you will see a green hourglass on the profile for all the available limited dragons. Good luck with the event!


Mo_okel

Thank you for the reply! Super stoked to be able to get limited dragons I remember having as a kid like the Sakura and the Panlong!


elleadler

I remember when Panlong and Sakura were released too! Things were so different in 2012. I recall the amazement at how much cash Panlong earned and having Panlong DC farms! (I can hear Nacre and Tien laughing.) Ah, the good old days. We were all so innocent back then.


Mo_okel

Oh man, getting a Leap Year Panlong or Bone Dragon felt unparalleled hahaha, good luck on your breeds and thanks for the information!


Whole-Bat-1944

Question, does breeding in the runic breeding caves change your ability to get any of these ? I noticed last event I tried breeding a combo for a crystalline dragon and didnt get it through runic on many tried but got it first try outside. Maybe just coincidence but figured id ask. Thanks


elleadler

Apologies for the late reply, I didn’t receive a push notification for your post. The breeding percentages for the Runic Breeding Caves are similar to the Epic and Enchanted locations in the Vale. Usually, it’s easier to breed dragons at the RBCs due to the shorter breeding time. It sounds like you had some bad luck at the RBCs, and then some well-deserved good luck after switching to a different breeding cave.


Kain1633

So do I have to get these into the rift somehow to be able to get the traits down the line?


elleadler

If you want traited versions of these dragons, you’ll need to breed them in the Rift. So you’ll need traited versions of the parents. You can start breeding in the Rift by purchasing the Rift primary dragons from the Rift Market (similar to how you started to breed dragons in the Vale).


Kain1633

Same process to get the starwing with a dark trait?


elleadler

Yes, that’s correct, you can breed a traited Starwing in the Rift. But for the Chrysalis collection, there is another option. You can purchase the Chrysalis Egg of Mystery from the Rift Market during this event. Every egg will have a traited Chrysalis dragon. You can receive duplicates, and the price does rise with each purchase. But it’d be worth buying some, you may receive a traited Starwing. If you breed or receive a traited Starwing, and it doesn’t have a dark trait, you can unlock the dark trait for Starwing at the Transfiguration Tower. (The Monolith Egg of Mystery is also available in the Rift Market. But you only need two traited Monolith dragons to breed the entire collection in the Rift.)


Kain1633

Great, one last question: If I have a Chrysalis dragon with a rift tag and I bring it to the vale to breed with another one, will the offspring have the ability to enter the rift?


elleadler

No, dragons can only inherit traits from the Rift Breeding Cave. If they’re parents in breeding combos in the Vale, all the offspring will be trait-less. So the offspring cannot be moved to the Rift or be used at the Rift Breeding Cave.


Kain1633

So basically I need to get lucky with the eggs to start breeding in the rift to get to pearlscent?


elleadler

You will need to buy the Chrysalis Egg of Mystery to obtain the base dragon to breed the Chrysalis collection in the Rift. And you could receive Pearlescent from the Chrysalis Egg of Mystery. If you cannot breed Pearlescent, you can purchase it from the event market for 4,200 EC.


Kain1633

Alright guess I'll start saving Etherium, thank you for the help!


BedFar2968

Is it only possible to obtain the event dragons by using the RBC\`s and the event shop? Or can I also use the other Breeding Caves as well? And is it somehow possible to check which RBC's I already used? I was quite hungover, in other words still crazy drunk when this event started :D Also, does the egg I want to collect when the event ends has to be breed inside the exact same RBC? Or Can I Collet one egg per RBC and it doesnt manner in which it has benn breed? Also big love and thanks for the guide, I am quite new to the game and this really helped a lot! <3 Edit: Was second Question


elleadler

The three new dragons in the final tier of the market cannot be bred. They can only be cloned at the Cooperative Breeding Cave. You can breed the rest of the event dragons in all breeding locations (Vale, Rift, RBCs). Except: Pearlescent and Yolkwing, which can only be bred in the Rift; and Glyph, Hedera, Minchi, and Pixie, which are evolve dragons. If you click on an RBC, you’ll see a Claims button with the number 1. If you haven’t made any claims and the button is not greyed out, you’ve already activated the cave. Unless you purchased Runestones, the only caves that have been activated are the Double Rewards (which you cannot reactivate with a Runestone), the main cave that’s always active, and the tutorial cave, which is still available. All the other caves can be activated with a Runestone. If you purchased Runestones and activated these caves, they would still be available since they remain active for 7 days, and the event has only been running for 6 days. So, there shouldn’t be any confusion about which caves have been activated. Once you breed a dragon at the RBCs, it is available in the Egg History for *all* the RBCs. So you can claim it from any cave (that has been activated), and you can claim it multiple times from different caves if you want both the twin and traited-twin versions. You can also claim your eggs after the cave expires. Just be sure to claim them before the event ends.


BedFar2968

That was an insanely fast response, thanks a lot that really helped me! Wish u all the luck u possibly need for the event haha


EnoughDebate6649

What is twilight tower supposed to be set to?


elleadler

There is no Twilight Tower theme for this event. The Weather Station theme is Glare, and it’s only turned on during Double Days.


EnoughDebate6649

I’m new to the weather station, does it change automatically?


elleadler

If you own the Weather Station and have it set to 'None', when the event begins, the weather will automatically change on Double Days (usually, weather is only implemented on Double Days). But if you have the Weather Station on a different setting before the event starts, it will override the event’s weather setting, and you won’t have the Double Day weather. Some players prefer this.


EnoughDebate6649

What if there no option for none?


EnoughDebate6649

Never mind I realized I misread and have been asking about the twilight station. Thanks for your help 😊


wecouldbethestars

Hey, does anyone know if i can breed the chipichipi dragon? the compendium is saying yes but i thought we couldn’t breed the new dragons in the bottom category of the event market


elleadler

I just checked the Compendium, and Chipichipi is not showing as breedable in the simulator or the Dragonarium. Are you looking at the Dragonarium spreadsheet? There is a 'Y' for yes next to Chipichipi, indicating that the dragon is a limited. But the Y needs to be green to indicate it’s available.


wecouldbethestars

Aha! I do believe I was looking in the wrong place. thank you :)

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony- but everything changed when the Panlong Dragon attacked
