Why does everyone put no buy out for their trades?

I want to buy it, but I don't want to wait days....I keep running out of space for items, I need more warehouse space....I probably don't even have enough resources to build it, but it's a step closer (and I can know how much I need). Let me buy your blueprints D: Why won't you let me? XD

Which blueprints do you need? I have spare copies of all the warehouse ones...

The sheer frustration when you've got a super-gene beast and need to level them up ASAP so they can breed and get GP.

Using the sanctuary... and major scroll of insight... and a bunch of energy drinks too...

... but they keep inexplicably losing battles (even on explore), wasting most energy, and only get to level 7.

I came so close to giving up and throwing her in the reserve or SPSB already. Bad gryph!  >_<

I know that feel Marans. When perfect level 50 unicorns lose to those stupid swan beast in explore....

 

Rant/Yay, Every time I breed my double homozygous Hoopoes, I get at least one devaint. Buttttt with so many of them, you'd think I'd get at least 2 per breeding since I have a 1/10 chance for both deviant types. Nope, I've only gotten Color deviants lately. 0 Type deviants lately.

Keep getting that with Cat-pattern too. Nothing against the kitty shape, but I always loooved the pretty pink and golden snow leopards. x)

Also, this feels really awkward and bad - criticising the game content, sorry - but I'm a bit disappointed that the Bird of Prey pattern devs look identical to normal gryphs, and the double devs look the same as the colour devs. I know the body shape needn't be changed as "bird of prey" is already the default gryph-shape, but they could've had some tiny alteration to markings. Are there any natural mutations or variations that can pop up in those bird species? Faded colours, male/female dimorphism, different types of kite or eagle, etc?

Feels like a slight missed opportunity, and there's little incentive to try breeding for these particular devs. Unless you just love challenge and having little stars in the genetics. x)

edit: now thinking of ospreys, ooh. Well, guess we have custom skins for this purpose!

I'm starting to seriously consider taking all of the Throdamas I have on the breeding list down. I did some rough calculations the other day and I realised that I have about 30% of the total number of L50 Throdamas listed for breeding right now. It's taken pretty much an entire year to get them there, and since more Throdamas being breed means more chances at getting rare genes without inbreeding, I usually put males on the list as soon as they reach L50. You can get a G3 unicorn or dragon out of the Pound easy, but it can take nearly twenty minutes of continuous refreshing to find a single Throdama in there. So I'm all for other users breeding beasts with good stats.

However, in the past couple of weeks I've seen the same user over and over again and it's getting to me. I've checked them out and they've a very big breeding project going, so it's not like they're basing their entire stock on my males. Ultimately a breeding project that's well thought out and targeted, unlike mine where up until fairly recently I just wanted as many L50s as possible without giving much by way of thought to what I was going to do with them after I'd finished, is absolutely to my benefit. And since all of my Throdamas are listed for a flat 500, I am getting a reasonable amount of financial profit out of them as well.

But I still feel like I'm being taken advantage of. And I'm getting a bit jack of it.

500 is really low for a throdama breeding. You should charge much more.

Like I said, I've listed my Throdamas because there's a definite lack of L50 on the breeding list, not because I'm after silver (although silver is nice to have). There are all of seven G3s listed for breeding right now, and four of them are mine. When I first started I basically just bred for colour, and I will admit that for the first few months I was testing the paitence of the same small handful of Keepers as I tried very hard to breed a Lake Throdama with good stats, and after that good Throdamas regardless of colour for specialist morphs. The more Throdamas out there, the more chances I have of being able to breed for the genes I want without seeing that aggravating inbreeding warning. And there has been a slow but steady rise in breeding numbers. And aside from it being good for my own lek, I do owe a certain amount of debt to the Keepers who put their own beasts on the list and didn't repremand me for being a repeat customer.

In less than a fortnight this one Keeper has used my males seventeen times. It strikes me as being somewhat excessive.

Well I for one am grateful, because I'm trying to breed some nice throdama morphs and it's a battle to find good sires. I have one gp3 warrior and a gp3 scout. Perfect for questing. I must get myself a few defenders for the battlefield - I've bought some in the past but they had terrible genes and were kinda worthless, and losing 50 battles is the easiest so I may as well breed some of my own.

I haven't even touched throdamas. I usually love bugs, but I don't know, I want deviants and such.... Do they sell for a pretty penny?

 

I know that feeling willow. Some of my deviants have been taken off the market because of mass breedings :P The person apologized and it was all gucci tho. I do get a tiny bit annoyed when GP 0s mate with GP3s. Lord knows how many times I did that as a noob though ;-;

Mmm, just cancelled my GP3 dev gryph's breeding offer. 120 out of 220 used by others, think that's enough :P 

It was annoying when people bred him with random gryphs, lacking GP or any relevant colour/pattern genes. What a waste of potential deviancy!  I have others up for breeding too, pretty much the same as him but without dev.  Why not ever use those instead... *sigh*

Heh, I remember when I sent you Yellow Fish Eggs for you to use on Emperos because I used the poor dear almost exclusively

Yep, that was a very kind gesture of you :3 Nobody else has ever said anything lol.

Another tiny Rant for the sake of it: most of the last month I've been busy and not had time for much serious breeding (and my latest super gryphs are taking AGES to level to 50 so I can breed them). So naturally the premium is about to run out and I've barely used it x)

Oh well, can always buy it again when the next bunch are ready to go. /traintraintrain
