[center][size=6][emoji=star size=6]Basic to Gem Challenge[emoji=star size=6][/size][/center] I've been seeing variations on this challenge floating around for quite some time now, and since I have the lair space and a desire to breed something other than my current project I figured I'd give it a go! Also, I need gems for so many projects. Basically, I'm going to start with a triple basic plentiful dragon and at the end of the lineage I'm going to end with a triple gem gened coatl or wildclaw. My little twist is that all the dragons aside from the last one are going to be sold for gems! This way I have a little extra income for all my gene projects and a fun way of doing it.

(Ex. a common breed basic/basic/basic heir will be an uncommon breed common/common/common dragon) [*] No using gene/breed change scrolls on the dragons. [*] All dragons other than the final dragon are going to be sold for gems once they reach adulthood/have bred. [*] All mates must be bought for treasure only.[/list] [center] [b][emoji=star size=1]Pinglist[emoji=star size=1][/b][/center] @/Geminid @/Wingzoffirefan @/coolrat @/ArcherFox @/berrybbtr @/Festivoog @/pupster1976 @/CupcakeNova @/AlwaysAtez @/FelineThing @/MagickalKat @/Auralyx [center] [b][emoji=star size=1]Fellow Participants[emoji=star size=1][/b][/center] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2984923]Geminid's Basic Gem Challenge Journal[/url]

All right, here is the first pair of the challenge! Our founder is Holiday, this lovely fae lad. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67487719][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/674878/67487719_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Holiday - Fae Male[/i] Ice Basic Mantis Basic Blackberry Basic [/columns] His mate is Nacre, and I think she's super pretty! Here's to hoping her genes pass on! [columns][i]Nacre - Spiral Female[/i] Pearl Falcon Plum Peregrine Sable Peacock[nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67366147][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/673662/67366147_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] I also went ahead and whipped up a breeding card for them and oh boy, they have quite the secondary and tertiary ranges. [img]https://i.imgur.com/UpZ166L.png[/img] [rule] Since they were both RTB when I bought them, I went ahead and put them on a nest. Thankfully, they gave me four eggs (unlike my main project, where all the pairs insist on giving me as few eggs as possible -_-). Hopefully they hatch something good! [img]https://i.imgur.com/mJPeEED.png[/img]

Hatch day! RNG decided to be extra nice with these kiddos; each one has something special about them. If anyone wants them, all the spare hatchlings will be up for grabs until they're adults, when I'll be putting them on the auction house. First up is our heir, Holly! Although technically the youngest of the hatch, this lad decided to show up all his siblings with not one but two upgrades - a primary and a tertiary. He's also surprisingly Christmas-y for being a March baby. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67940177][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/679402/67940177_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Holly - Fae Male[/i] White Basic Algae Peregrine Wine Peacock Arcane Unusual [/columns] Next up is Opal, the only spiral of the clutch. If Holly hadn't gotten two upgrades, Opal was definitely my top pick. Unfortunately, this kid's a triple basic, but we won't hold it against him. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67940174][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/679402/67940174_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Opal - Spiral Male[/i] Pearl Basic Avocado Basic Ruby Basic Arcane Rare [/columns] Belle is the only girl of the clutch, and a positively gorgeous one at that too! Much like her brother Holly, she inherited their mother's secondary gene. She's definitely one of my favorites, even if she won't be staying around for long. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67940175][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/679402/67940175_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Belle - Fae Female[/i] Maize Basic Grape Peregrine Sable Basic Arcane Uncommon [/columns] Finally we have Ram. Despite inheriting no upgrades, he refused to be upstaged by his siblings and hatched with goat eyes! If I had less projects to do, I'd keep him and gene him up real nice. Alas, I have to many things to do and a dire need for gems. [columns][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67940176][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/679402/67940176_350.png[/img][/url][nextcol][i]Ram - Fae Male[/i] White Basic Royal Basic Gloom Basic Arcane Goat [/columns] [rule] For Holly's mate, I went ahead and picked up this cute ridgeback named Obsidian. [columns][i]Obsidian - Ridgeback Female[/i] Oilslick Falcon Steel Seraph Spring Lace Nature Common [nextcol][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/67730374][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/677304/67730374_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] They'll be RTB on the 27th, and I went ahead and calculated their range. Holy cow, that tertiary range is huge! I'm excited to see where these guys take us color wise! [img]https://i.imgur.com/FxJ2VnB.png[/img]

This is a cool idea

Your challenge inspired me to start my own! May I be added to your pinglist?

@Wingzoffirefan

Thank you! Let me know if you want to be on the pinglist :D

@Geminid

That is so cool! I'm adding you to the pinglist now, and I'm definitely going to check out yours <3
