Nature-fire.
Rarity: Rare.
Breeding and incubation: 16 hours.
Evolution time: 17 hours.
[Animal details and individual pictures taken from an external site - I hope this is o.k. if not I'll remove them]

This has got to be one of the prettiest FFS animals ever in epic form!
This horse is a must-have!

I still need a Paradise Parrot too, so there are good fails from this combination and the most common one has a breeding time of only 3 hours.

So happy it's nature/ fire. I'm gonna try some 4 element breedings with the Sugarskull Glider and the Ruby Razorback and hopefully get a second Unicorn as a fail.

Congratulations on your Skeletal Steed!

Congratulations calvinxx and cardinalpsy on yours as well! Best of luck to everyone trying for it! It is awesome that one needs to breed Nature/Fire instead of Earth/Fire.

Speeded the last 3 hours of Sugarskull Glider breeding to begin trying for the Steed:

1) Fairy Ferret

So now there's a 10 hour gap overnight. Very tempting to speed when the Ferret is done... But the evolution flower will still be occupied for about 4 hours at that time because I didn't notice that the Harvest Horder takes 16 hours to evolve instead of 11. Hmm...

Hey can I breed this without having the first animal?

10-20-15, 12:16 PM
I hope the number of animals for the combination doesn't affect the chances of getting the trio animal since Nature/Fire already has 7 possible outcomes, all of which I have. I am still working on the Sugarskull Glider and have bred all the other Earth/Nature animals at least twice except the Grassquatch which I bred once.

Also it looks like the feeding schedule for this animal is the highest one. I hope that is not true.

But we can breed the steed even while we have NOT yet bred the Glider, am I right? Or do they normally have to be bred in the release order?

I'm right there with you, ninasidstorm8! Or almost, since I don't have all the animals this combination yields. But still trying for the Sugarskull Glider, meh.

Now to swap back and forth btw trio animal # 1 & the new trio animal # 2...
And the follow up question: should I try 3 element attempts, swap back & forth btw straight up breeding or throw in some 4 element attempts so as not to potentially 'waste' my breeding time

10-20-15, 12:28 PM

Yes, you can breed the Steed without breeding the Sugarskull Glider. It is only the last of the trio that you can't breed without the other two. The exception is that you can breed the last of the trio with two Crystal Unicorns, providing that it is a single element animal.

The one problem with the strategies you propose is that you can easily create gaps in your breeding time since the fail times are so different for the two combinations. In addition, trying for both at the same time (3 elements) introduces Earth/Fire fails which have the longer fail times than either Earth/Nature or Nature/Fire.

And best of luck for everyone trying.
After having a dismal performance in the last trio, I was just hoping to get smthng this time round. Have had a sad week trying to breed the sugar glider :( . But now after this will try for that. And if I get both then I will buy the habitat!!

Regarding the breeding order: yes you can breed them in either order. At least that has always been the case so far for trios.

@happyheartbakery: anything goes but it makes most sense to do one of the following:
-straight attempts: these give the least amount of fails
-nature-fire-earth attempts: gives shots at both animals and has fewer outcomes than 4-element breeding
-4-element attempts, preferably with one of these animals and/or a correct gem-hybrid as breeding partner: this gives shot at a unicorn and possibly also gem hybrids (if you used a gem-hybrid), by having gem and/or skull as part of the mix, the amount of outcomes is strongly reduced

For the three element attempts the unicorn can also be used (for those who have it), but it has then to be paired with a fire-nature OR earth-nature hybrid so you can't go for both animals at the same time with this combination, but... You'd essentially be doing almost the same as straight attempts with the added advantage that you can also get gem hybrids as outcome

I really have had very poor results while breeding so when I do get something I get very excited.
But hang in there everyone . I am rooting for you all . And am grateful to all who rooted for me.

So, I tried what worked to get me the Glider- use panda/pyro and speed through about 7-10 fails - but that didn't work. I decided to take a break for couple of hours and come back. While folding laundry combos were running through my head (yes I have OCD hehe). I suddenly thought, station Dalmatian & glider is awesome because 4 elements very limited outcome... Too bad the Dalmatian isn't in the breeding list!!!

So, why is the Glider there, but not the Dalmatian or Captain K9? I understand the St. Bernard being a single element, but not the other two.

Once the time for breeding the final animal of a trio has ended, the animals in that trio are removed from the breeding list. S8 does that for the very reason you wanted to use the Station Dalmatian.

All, I just updated the OP with images and other information of this new steed.
Check out the pictures of it: this Steed has got to be one of the prettiest FFS animals in epic form.
This one I consider an absolute must-have: I'll be all in trying for it!
Let's just hope that the game has some mercy on me and grants me one -- preferably easily...

The egg is quite pretty and I agree with ogreve that the steed itself is also one of the prettiest FFS animals. I already made my glider epic but I think I might have to make this one too :)

ogreve
10-20-15, 03:24 PM
Well guys and gals,
In light of this being such a beautiful animal, and in light of having gotten the first animal so quickly I really wanted to breed out this one too; I figure that IF I ever have a really good opportunity at having aims for a Unicorn or fire-gem or nature-gem hybrid, it would be now.
Well, I didn't get it on my first try, which was a Fairy Ferret. It just finished hatching and I wanted to have maybe a few more shots at it before bedtime kicks in. So, I sped the remaining 10 hours of Sugarskull Glider hatching time away, and put in a second attempt with my Quartz Quetzalcoatl and the Pyro Pony and got...:

25233

25234

...I think I'm about to faint! I truly cannot believe the luck I've been having over the past few days!! :D
Truly amazing! In only 4 days time my opinion on THE two FFS features that I had come to very strongly dislike has turned 180 degrees: first the Spin to Win feature finally became generous with animals and now the trio breeding is going really well. You're reading it right, but in order to actually grasp the impact of it, I'll write it again (even if only otherwise I myself wouldn't even believe it): the TRIO breeding is going really well. :D :D :D

Wowie! The first two animals were gotten early. Now I'll have to raise this new horsey quickly to a level above 4 and then the 4-element fun can start, before the Dragon is released!!! :)

I just HAD to sped this one to the nest directly. I then put in the same breeding formula that has given no less than TWO players a Unicorn today, being the Sugarskull Glider + Bansheep, but alas, lightning did not strike twice: 17 hours timer...

Still, I'm having a very good time these days in the game and a gem sale is on now. In light of having bought several spins on the wheel today and having sped some steps today, I'm down to 106 gems. I think I'll be nice back to TL and reward them by buying some gems. I sure can use them well to speed some matters in order to do 4-element breeding attempts, preferably before we'll have to go for the most difficult trio animal: the new dragon that will be released this Friday.

Good luck all hope we get this new animal quickly!

Alright... please pardon my enthusiasm, but I'm currently in "full FFS overdrive" now.... I calculated out how it would play out if I would let the egg hatch, and then still would have to go through one evolution before I could do a first breeding with the new steed. And, ehhhh, oh yeah, there's also the fact that it's 00:40 now in my timezone but I'm on such an "FFS-high" right now that I *think* I would get precious little sleep if I weren't to work a bit more on my agendas, so..... I calculated out some matters and it all came together beautifully: I sped the Steed right into the habitat and had some quick fun with it and fed it to the point where it could evolve. I then sped-cleared the last 6 hours of Frightingale evolution time away and sent the Steed into the flower. In 17 hours she will be done, so tomorrow I can have my first "free 4-element" attempt with it.
Meanwhile... there was still 16:30 hours of breeding time in the den and the nest had been emptied. I wanted to hatch one of my four (!) Pumpkin Pandas into it as earlier today my little one and I for the very first time cut a Halloween pumpkin which came out beautifully (if I may say so myself), so that would seem most fitting, and... it has precisely a 16 hour incubation time! Nice! "I love it when a plan comes together!"

Next, the Frightingale was fed up to the point where it can undergo its second evolution, a thing I plan to do tomorrow when the Steed clears the flower. The Frightingale is cheap to raise, but unfortunately the Steed takes the feeding costs of an ultra rare. :(

Well! Let's not let that spoil the fun! Today was a good day in the forest. From the moment I sped the Sugarskull Glider from the nest until now, precisely 50 gems had been spent on all the actions of speeding the breeding, hatching and the flower. I went down from 135 to 85 gems and I really, really, really, really, really, but no... REALLY want to do some significant breeding attempts at a Unicorn with the Steed + the QQ, so I decided to be nice back to TL and to have some speeding means by making use of a 530 gem pack sale.... I'll try not to go crazy with them, as Black Friday is not all that far away and gems will be needed for that day, but at least it gives some "speeding ammo". :P

For now, I'll try to catch some sleep, and shall sign off with two pictures of the latest and greatest new addition to the forest; for a beauty it IS! :)

Firstly congrats to everyone who has managed to get trio animals and/or other good outcomes, like the gem animals that several lucky ones got! :)

Then.... Oooopsie: I fear your visit will come too late: I already sped the egg away and into the flower she already went. For now the screenshots will have to do, I fear...

At this point in time, regardless of what my luck for breeding the dragon will be, I'm already playing with the idea of force breeding a few more of these steeds just before the event is over (possibly some duplicates will be gotten without having to force breed more of them). This is a particularly beautiful animal, so I can see myself buying a second habitat for it and filling that with three Steeds....:P

Not that I've noticed, sometimes I get them every couple days, other times it seems like more than a week. And I know some players have stated that hadn't seen a sale in months.

To breed a Quartz Quetzlcoatl you have to have animals that include the Gem and Nature elements.

Wow! Not only is this one beautiful, but fire/nature was a much better combination than I thought we'd get! Short time for the common, plus several animals that I don't yet have should hopefully make for a more interesting time breeding for this one. While I don't have the glider yet, I'm going to switch to breeding for this one instead. I figure if I only get lucky enough to get one, I'd rather it was this one! ^_^

I think this might be the most beautiful FFS animal yet or at least a three way tie with the prize pony & QQ. I try to avoid buying animals with gems unless they are deeply discounted. I will have to make an exception for this one if I don't breed in the next few days. I absolutely must have it.

Firstly congratulations on getting both the trio animals. And most of all congratulations on the turn around in trio breeding. Your enthusiasm and excitement is very infectious and I can relate to it as you and I have been having a similar luck in breeding.
I was also jumping with joy when I got the steed...
Congratulations to everyone who have got it. And to all those still trying.. Hang in there your luck will change too.
I am still trying for the first one in this trio and hope to get it before the week is over.

No as far as I can tell it doesn't matter what lvl the breeding animals are. It's just a question of pure luck!!
Trying with the two pure elements i.e. Fire and nature will give you limited fails. If you add another element your scope will lessen as the number of animals you get as fails will be more.

@ogreve Wow! Big congrats! Hopefully you'll get the Unicorn now too! :)

I decided to speed for this beauty because she's absolutely gorgeous and many seemed to be getting her with a few tries. Spent about 200 gems and didn't get her. Ugh! I reaaally must have this one! I'd love to have all the horses and this is maybe the most beautiful one of them all.

The only good thing is I'm expanding to Solar Bear right now.

Regarding the breeding order: yes you can breed them in either order. At least that has always been the case so far for trios.

@happyheartbakery: anything goes but it makes most sense to do one of the following:
-straight attempts: these give the least amount of fails
-nature-fire-earth attempts: gives shots at both animals and has fewer outcomes than 4-element breeding

For the three element attempts the unicorn can also be used (for those who have it), but it has then to be paired with a fire-nature OR earth-nature hybrid so you can't go for both animals at the same time with this combination, but... You'd essentially be doing almost the same as straight attempts with the added advantage that you can also get gem hybrids as outcome

Thanks for your amazing analysis;)
And Congrats on your great lucky breeding streak. Hoping you get your Unicorn soon too (& me for that matter).
Guess the smart thing for me to do is probably just rotate straight attempts at trio #1 & #2. I didn't get the nightengale either, so may throw in at least 1 attempt at that before it expires (although I'm not sure the nightengale will leave the market yet, just the goal prize??).

Hope I can get one of these soon! Good luck to all

If you have Sugarskull Glider / Crystal Unicorn as a breeding pair, you can get Sugarskull Glider, Emerald Dragon, Quartz Quetzalcoatel, Obsidian Cylops :D

Olafo... First of all a big congrats from my part, too! You said you got your steed on your 2nd attempt, right? Guess what!? :D I'm sure you have already understood what has happened in my forest...!

I wish I had had the same luck with the Glider too, but as for that I'll have to try and catch up asap :-p

I noticed i cant breed a single limited animal for a long time
The dog service trio results were nothing even after trying for the entire time continusally
Even the common and rare animlas required for story events are extremly hard i had fo spend 200 saved gems to get iceclaw


Im thinking im blocked or something
Its like u bought gems before
Then u wont fet any animal unless u buy it
Cuz after that my breeding results changed drastically

Do i dare to hope with this trio
Or is it time to leave the game

Luv the game but im disappointed that my gane wont le me breed at all

@flowless I tend to agree with you. My Iphone account has much better luck with breeding (I have never bought gems there)

Excellent news, congrats! :)

As for me, for the very first time since starting to play FFS I decided to have a stab at a "strategic gamble": full speeding of the Quartz Quetzalcoatl and the Skeletal Steed. The reasoning is easy: this OUGHT to be a combination with pretty good odds at an ultra rare (or at least, so we assume...) and I also need a Paradise Parrot still.
I decided to try it until I either would have gotten a gem animal or until I had gathered enough bombs to mine enough runes for making an expansion, being the one to the Solar Bear plot.
I'm sad to say that in 25 attempts I got absolutely nothing new. I went from 618 gems to 420, so that's 198 gems blown on nothing but a quick expansion, and that's taking into account that this is the combination with the shortest fail times....
I learnt an important lesson from it: speeding is not my game. I don't like it. It didn't give me any enjoyment; it only gave the desire that I hadn't done so. Well. Lesson learnt.
It's a bummer that I didn't even get a Paradise Parrot out of it. If indeed the odds at a Unicorn or other gem-animal are better now with those odds, then I'm not getting any, at least not so far.
For now I'll still continue breeding with that same combination until Friday's update, but I shall not attempt to speed through further attempts...:/

With just the Crystal and any nature/fire animal you have a shot at the QQ, Emerald, or Ruby Razorback. I actually got Cyclops, Ruby and Emerald trying for another different goal animal... I think one was during iciclaw and other two during a story book. It was an obstacle to get tied up for 90 hours, but welcome at the same time.

Thank you, I thought that but didn't want to waste time breeding if it wasn't going to be effective. I've not had much luck with gem hybrids (although I do understand the rarity of them!) I tried and tried for the pearl one (which came out the day after I got my unicorn!) but had no luck with that, got my hopes up and even picked out a name for it! Well at least this way I can try for a hybrid and the steed

I wouldn't be surprised if this one is harder to get than the Sugar Skull Glider. If there was a fixed chance of getting a rare animal, and each rare animal had an equal chance of being bred (chance of getting a rare divided by the number of possible rares), the chance of getting a Skeletal Steed would be smaller than the chance of getting a Sugarskull Glider (there are 3 permanent Nature/Fire rares whereas there are only 2 permanent Earth/Nature rares). That's all speculation, of course: we don't know exactly how S8/TL determines the odds.

I've made 9 attempts so far (lv.7 Pandaffodil x lv.7 Pyro Pony):
Fairy Ferret
Fairy Ferret
Fairy Ferret
Solar Simian (new)
Fairy Ferret
Fairy Ferret
Fairy Ferret
Fairy Ferret
Skeletal Steed (target acquired!)

It'd be cool to get a Vinotaur, as that one is needed for a goal and to breed Treasure Toucan.

I have the same concern and I haven't bred any of the trio yet. I believe the odds for the Skeletal Steed are worse than the Sugarskull Glider because the Skeletal Steed costs more in the Shop to purchase. I think that the number of possible fails has nothing to do with the odds of breeding one of the trios. My guess is that S8 sets the odds for these special breeding situations independently of the normal breeding calculation. That way it can be put in and removed without affecting the normal breeding odds.

Yeah, I noticed it was more expensive in the shop. I'd be tempted to buy it if I'm not lucky enough to breed one if the cost wasn't so ridiculous. It costs $35 dollars (U.S., and not including my state's sales tax) for 1400 gems when you have a gem sale, so they are essentially asking me to pay ~$17.50 to buy. Yeaahh no lol.

I haven't bred any of the trio yet either. I just switched to this one because I obtained all the permanent Earth/Nature animals trying for the Glider, whereas I have 4 permanent Nature/Fire animals that I still need (Jackalope and all the super rares), so it just seemed like more worth my time to try for the Skeletal Steed.

Best of luck to you and everyone else going for these guys :)

Hi Nina, I also believe the odds are set differently, but why do they seem so uneven to the point where some have bred 3-4 sugar skull gliders and easily bred steeds, and some like myself who have tried everything and sped cannot get one despite myriad tries. Some were all upset, some didn't even want the 'creepy' habitat, yet as soon as they got the animals, they are in love with TL. Some feel more deserving, but, in truth, everyone is deserving. Some of us have not got trios, but some feel that makes them deserve this, yet some of us did not get the dogs, these, or others. I sometimes get whiplash following who is upset with TL one minute, then adores them, to the point of admonishing others for their feelings. Yes, I have spent plenty on this game of pixels, but it does not make me more deserving than a new player. Sorry to be blunt, just had to speak my mind. I feel equal to everyone playing and I wish everyone breeding success for whatever they want. Equally. Good luck to ALL.

I didn't mean to imply the odds are set differently by player, just that the odds are set independently of the number of other animals that the element combination can produce. As for why some players get multiple Skull animals while others are having a difficult time, that is just how probability works. Someone has to be at either end of the bell curve while most players will be in the middle. Some of the players that have bred the first two animals of the trio didn't breed a single one last time.

I figure my good luck at the earlier trios caught up with me.

The problem is, regardless of the odds, there is never a guarantee that someone will get an animal. Even if the odds of breeding a skull trio animal were say 10%, it is entirely possible (without anything fishy going on) that someone could make hundreds of attempts (actually an infinite number of attempts) and still not get one. That's the sucky thing about probability.

I got him on my 2nd try with magmacore and pandaffodil. (Figured I might as well try for both skeletal creatures.) I won't buy the habitat unless I get another. First fail was a fairy ferret so now I get to choose something from storage to hatch during the gap.

I've come into some good breeding luck lately after a long dry spell too... Lunar moth, ghostrich, Trick-or-Treent, and now skeletal steed! Happy. I had terrible luck with the wheel this time (only received a duplicate panda and ruins) but this makes up for it.

Good luck to all of you in your breeding.

I don't think anyone feels more deserving than other players - it's rather that people feel getting a rare animal shouldn't be so hard. I readily confess I'm one of the people who think trio breeding odds have been way too hard - for all of us. I'm still not planning to buy the skull habitat unless I get the dragon, lol! :D
Anyway, breeding can be very frustrating and I think everyone has a right to feel their feelings and voice their frustrations.
BTW, some of the people who have got multiple gliders have used a combo that can only produce another glider. If you get one of these special element animals, you can always force breed more of them.
I hope you get the trio animals soon!

Congrats to everyone who has bred the Steed and/or the glider and good luck to us all! :)

I guess I need to decide when I want to go back to Plantlers Purgatory to try for Sugarskull Glider. I might alternate tries with hatching my 3 animals in storage.

Hope everyone is successful at welcoming a Skeletal Steed to their forests!

EDIT: Maybe I don't have to go back to Plantlers Purgatory. I could try Skeletal Steed + Pandaffodil, for a chance at Sugarskull Glider and the 4 Nature/Fire animals I still need.

Hi,
I don't think it's so much a case of "personal jealousy/envy" of one another, but rather a "general feeling of frustration" when you put in many attempts and get nothing out of it. Please don't understand the following incorrectly but the thing that always gets a bit under my skin in that way is when I've been waiting in anticipation for the update time to come round, then it comes, then something cool is released and next thing you know is the first few days you see a lot of posts to the effect of "hey, I got this on the first try.." and you yourself are seeing fail after fail occur and feel "ooooohhhh I want to get lucky like that too....". I think that's pretty much as far as it goes. At times I like to visit forests of others that have so many nice animals I have and I stare at them in awe, but never with a feeling like "da*mn, why does this person have X gem animals and I only have a single bought one, I deserve it more than they do...". I think if the moment comes that one starts to have feelings like that, it's better to quit the game altogether. After all, these are just pixelated animations and we don't know if those people spent a small fortune on the game or not.

As for trios: I had read early on that using a trio-hybrid for breeding attempts at a Crystal Unicorn are far better than when using other animals, so I always wanted to breed at least one of the hybrids very early in the event so I could have plenty of shots at the CU. Here's what happened though, and what is the thing which I didn't like about the first two trios I participated in (i.e. Cosmic and Music): I didn't get any of the animals until very late in the event, so all chances at 4-element breedings were voided or I'd seriously compromise chances at getting the other animals. With Cosmic in the end at least it worked out, as when I finally had the Plutopus there were only some 2 days left in the event, and then, whadoyaknow: I actually for once was one of the lucky people who got the Caturn on my first attempt. With Music, it took a long time to get the Lullabison and the frustrating part was that it shared the 12 hour timer with the most dreaded outcome of all: the Armordillo. That was not nice. I then had a major deja vu moment, as I didn't get the Tubacan until 1-2 days before the end of the event. With a little bit of speeding I managed to put in 2-3 attempts at the Melodeer (I was very low on gems then). On my first or second attempt I got a 17 hour timer and thought that the Caturn luck repeated itself, but no, it was the schmuck looking Aperil Fool playing a prank on me: major disappointment and I never got the Melodeer. Bummer, but not a total fail: beautiful habitat and two nice new animals.
Then came the Service trio... that really WAS a bad one. Again I so desperately wanted to get ONE animal early. Well, it was 3 weeks of breeding two of the most horrendous combinations: earth-fire, earth-nature. Despite 3 weeks of breeding and some speeding I did not get a single one of them. That was absolutely no fun as I had no desire whatsoever to do earth-fire or earth-nature breedings at that time. That was when I started to hate the trios. I don't seriously have any hard feelings nowadays when seeing the Service animals, but still I make jokes about these "Hellhounds" etc.
Now then... just when the shock of the Service trio disaster had worn off, came another trio and it started off with earth-nature and I feared the second animal would require earth-fire, so I was indeed feeling like: "oh noooo, not again..." and it started with fails only, but then I got the SG and it was like all the clouds were cleared away and the sun started shining again: it felt like a bad spell had been broken. Next thing you know, the second animal is released and it did not take an earth-fire combination, but the much kinder nature-fire one. Then I even got the SS on the second attempt already and actually had fun in the trio! I must admit: since that turn of luck, I did start liking this trio at least: they're not bad when you at least get some of the animals without too much trouble.
Now.... this is the very first trio where I could actually do what I had wanted to do for over half a year now: use a trio animal for shots at the CU. And... by pairing it with my (bought) Quartz Quetzalcoatl I would have shots at gem hybrids too. So, I bought gems (530) and yesterday aimed for precisely that. Now I wished I hadn't. It's really not my way of playing this game. I put in 25 attempts, blew 198 gems on it and didn't get any gem-animal, nor the Paradise Parrot (which is the only currently breedable nature-fire animal I still need). It was not entirely done without a secondary agenda: the slow expansion process is ****ing me and I wanted to expand to the Solar Bear AND by doing that have a way of hatching the Werewolf and one of the Pumpkin Pandas. The latter was hatched after having cleared the nest of the SS when I bred it, so it could go into the flower early, and the former started hatching last night as overnight breeding, when in the den I got another SG (now a fail). The speeding was stopped yesterday exactly when I had earned enough runes to expand to the Solar Bear. In a few hours at almost the same time, that expanion ends, the hatching of the Werewolf ends (it will go into the habitat with the Solar Bear) and the breeding of the latest SG ends.

I think in this game it's important to do stuff like that: combining several agendas so at least new things happen in the forest, rather than only getting frustrated over fails or so. I don't want to do full-scale speeding anymore. I'm not sure if at some point I will or will not do so anymore, but it's not something I like doing and it's not something I feel comfortable with; not my game.

Finally, the one thing I've never managed to pull off is breeding ANY gem animal. That's still somewhat of a frustration if you will, or perhaps better put 'a challenge'. It's the one thing I *really* want to achieve. I never kept track of just how many shots I've had at the CU, but I estimate them to pass the 100 mark. Not sure anymore. Well, 25 of those were the sped attempts of last night. The only thing I keep detailed track of, are the outcomes of breedings with my Quartz Quetzalcoatl, as I want to see IF I can get any gem animal with it, and if so, after how many attempts. The full list can be found here: http://forums.storm8.com/showthread.php?73663-Personal-Breeding-Logs&p=1176789&viewfull=1#post1176789
So far, since buying it I've almost constantly used it in breedings (with some exceptions here and there) and have put in 82 attempts: no gem outcome with it so far...

Anyway, bottomline: the above elaborates the "kinds of frustration" that I can feel at times with particular breedings (especially trios and gem), but it also shows how sometimes it doesn't go like that (i.e. this trio so far has been good to me) and initially it was the same for me with Treasure breeding but at least I did manage to breed one of those (Golden Retriever)....

Good luck to all in breeding these trio animals! I sure hope luck will be had with aiming for the dragon too, I think it will be a spectacular animal...:P

I guess I need to decide when I want to go back to Plantlers Purgatory to try for Sugarskull Glider. I might alternate tries with hatching my 3 animals in storage.


Hope everyone is successful at welcoming a Skeletal Steed to their forests!

EDIT: Maybe I don't have to go back to Plantlers Purgatory. I could try Skeletal Steed + Pandaffodil, for a chance at Sugarskull Glider and the 4 Nature/Fire animals I still need.

What was your breeding animals?

Previously I couldn't even get one trio animal and now I think I am getting my 2nd steed.
QQ + Skeletal steed.
Well this is how it went. After I got the steed two days ago. I went back to my earth nature breeding. Bred one Plantler and I Grassquatch ( which is currently in the nest)
In the mean time I fed my steed to lvl 3 and ready for evolution. But the flower was occupied with the Hibernater.
Well when the steed went in the flower , I came to the forum and read ogreve's post on his personal breeding. So I sped the evolution and quickly fed my steed to lvl 9 , sped the Grassquatch breeding and put it in the nest.
Then put my lvl 14 QQ and lvl 9 steed in the den and up pops 16 hrs.
So I guess I am getting steed no. 2:):)

Holy Guacamole Batman!!

I got the Glider yesterday on my second account. I bought the habitat, put the Glider in the nest breed the panda/Pyro. It was a Ferret. Didn't speed, and came back this afternoon. Put the ferret in the nest, fed my glider and sent him to the flower. Put my panda and pyro back in and bam 16 hours. I AM SHOCKED!!!

Sure, no problem. I bred panda (lvl 15) & Pyro (lvl 15) in that order. I have now gotten into the habit of following the order of required animal ie nature/fire; earth/nature; dark/earth; lighting/nature. For me I seem to have better luck that way and using the base animals (pyro, panda, rhino, etc.)

Hi Lynsokevin
I use d Quartz Quatzelcoatl + pyro pony for my first skeletal steed.
I don't know what lvl you are at, so don't know how familiar you are with the game. I too am a new player and have learnt a lot by reading posts in this forum
There are a few things you have to keep in mind while breeding a TRIO.
1. As I have gathered from all the experiences of players, it is not very easy to breed a trio animal. My first experience was trying to breed the Service trio. I could not breed a single animal till the very last day. And then also only one I.e. Captain K9
2. There is no set combination of animals that will give you the trio animal. You can use any animals with the two elements required ( earth / nature for sugar glider) and nature / fire for the skeletal steed.
3. Luck plays a big role in you getting the animal. During the last trio there was a player who made 52 attempts to get it and still did not get it.
4. Try to use pure elements to try and breeding it . You will have lesser number of animals as fails , for eg for earth nature you will have only 4 outcomes beside the sugar glider

So just hang in there and you may get lucky and get the animals.

Thank you for getting back to me, I am level 32. I have learned loads aswell through these forums. I don't have the QQ Infact I don't have any gem or unicorn or any ideal animal of these kinds! So this is also very frustrating 4th go I got sugar glider but this time easy 40 odd attempts and still every attempt gives me a fairy ferret. The only other trio I've been involved in is service and again I manager the first animal relatively easy but 2nd and 3rd animal never got.. Same as this don't get it! I'd love to have QQ or unicorn! Hoping for some luck

So far I have gotten zero animals from the trio. I've been breeding non-stop. Very frustrating and disappointing.

It is so odd how that goes: it was like that for me during ALL of the Service Dogs trio, and here we are in another trio and I've already bred 4 Sugarskull Gliders and I just got a second Skeletal Steed timer in the den now. Go figure....
I really hope I can get the Dragon as easily, but I fear not... Well, we'll see, I'll sure do my best for it. The duplicate Skeletal Steed will definitely be kept. I might start working one to epic level while the other goes on breeding duties. I'd love a second of the special habitats and fill that with more of these animals, but I just expanded to the Solar Bear and it takes so long before I can make the next expansion.... That's the single most thing that puts the biggest strain on my forest: too slow expansion rate... I hope we get a Storybook and that one of the steps gives 15 (or more) runes again...:P

How many of these 3 animal sets (where the third is a new single element) have there been? I hope I get the third animal for this set, otherwise it will be the fifth set I have where I have the first 2 animals, but never manage to get the third (single element) animal!

There have been five I believe, since Santa Claws isn't single element:
Valentine's Trio (Smitten Kitten, Love Dove, Matripony)
Cosmic Trio (Plutopus, Lemurcury, Caturn)
Music Trio (Lullabison, Tubacan, Melodeer)
Service Trio (Station Dalmation, Captain K9, Saintly Bernard)
Skull Trio (Sugarskull Glider, Skeletal Steed, ???)

My first trio was the Music Trio, where I got Lullabison towards the very end. For the Service Trio, I got Station Dalmatian first try but my luck ended there lol.

I can't believe this! I just got a 16 hour timer with pandaffodil and pyro pony after 2 tries with them. I had tried with other animals at first with no success, so I decided to try those 2 and I got it! I had gotten the sugarskull glider on the first try with rock rhino and pandaffodil which was shocking because I rarely get any animals on the first try. I hope my luck continues for the third animal in the trio! On the last trio, I only got the station dalmatian, so fingers crossed that I will be able to complete this trio!

I consider the Christmas trio the first trio even though it worked slightly differently so the Skull Trio is the sixth one. The Christmas Trio was the Reindeer, Toy Poodle, and Santa Claws. They were released at the same time and all have the Christmas element.

After several breeding attempts with many different combos of animals, I just got the Skeletal Steed with Jackalope 14 and Pyro Pony 15!! I am so happy, I really wanted this one. Already have 2 Sugarskull Gliders. Maybe there will be a chance to finish this trio. Good luck to everyone still trying.

You can sell habitats when they are empty. But... as we cannot send animals into storage, you'd first need to "move out" or sell the animals that are present in a habitat.

That means I've never managed to breed the single element then! No Matripony, Caturn (bought one weeks later in a value pack as he proved to be a good fighter), Melodeer or Saintly Bernard! I hope I manage to get the dragon at least :)

I did get the Santa Claws, so at least I have those three, however it took me a huge amount of gems speed breeding, which is why I haven't bothered for the other ones since.

Just about ready to give up on this one, bred a Racmoon for the story book, put it in in the nest and threw in pyro pony and sugar glider, finally a 16 hour time. At least that still gives me time to try for the final animal of the trio.

Congratulations! I hope my luck is the same as yours. I have my Racmoon in the next right now, and my latest fairy ferret fail ready in 20 minutes...I'm going to speed the rest of the time on the Racmoon and try again for this one.

16 hours and that's the only animal you can currently get with that timer and the breeding formula you mentioned, so you got it, congrats!

Many congrats! :)

...and once again it seems to be raining ultra rares around me.... now would one of them ever land in my forest too? I'm certainly trying!
An interesting breeding formula that you chose; I guess we all know my good 'ole Ember's track record in combat... It's tempting to try and see if he's equally successful in the breeding den. I must say that I normally never pick Ember for breeding; if ever I use a Gold Lion for that, I normally use one of my 3 (normal) adult Gold Lions. Perhaps it's worth a shot. The only trouble is that that formula you used can give loooong timers and it doesn't give me any chance at any of the limited animals that are currently breedable and that I have yet to breed, so it would really be a desperate stab at a Unicorn or at a Paradise Parrot and nature-electric animals other than the Thunderhawk and Catypuss. For some reason I NEVER get any of those "normal breedables" on my main account, yet on my secondary account (as well as on the account that was on the iPad that was stolen) there have been several Paradise Parrots, Porkupines, Eagle Beagles, etc. Go figure....

Took my rainguin out for the storybook and put my pyro pony and panda back in, got a six hour fail this time. I'm starting to lose hope. If I don't get this soon I won't have any time to try for the deadwing and I hate incomplete trios. :(

My thoughts exactly. Every time I see my Space Plate without the Catypuss just makes me want to sell them.

I have 6 failures for the Skeletal Steed so far. Now that I have completed the breeding parts of the Haunted Hollows Storybook Adventure, I can focus on breeding the Skeletal Steed. I don't have time for the 27 failures I had with the Sugarskull Glider, so I hope it comes soon to leave some time to breed the last of the trio.

Still nothing yet for me either. I just bread a Flyerfox, which I thought I had, so it's a good thing I checked. So I guess that's better than yet another Fairy Ferret.

how rare is it to get this steed??? I just wasted 150 gems speeding things up and only got stuck with fairy ferrets and jackalope. my pairing was Jackalope and Solar Simian :(

Last night I bred a Skeletal Steed on my 10th try. It will take another 11 hours to hatch and then another 17 hours in the Evolution Flower, so It will be a little more than a day before I can start breeding for the Deadwing. That will give me almost 5 days to complete the trio, so I still have hope.

Good Luck to everyone still trying.

Congratulations!! I'm starting to lose hope. Already this morning I've had a five hour fail and now another ferret. I don't think I'll be getting this one unless I buy the steed and then speed things along to start trying for the deadwing. Part of me is willing to do that, the other part is angry that it would gave to come to that considering how much time I spend playing this game. I'm not a casual once a day player and yet my breeding odds are terrible. I know they're supposed to be the same for everyone but it sure doesn't feel like it.

What is going on with this trio? I had 19 fails for the Sugar Glider before I got it. So far I have 35 fails trying for the Steed, three of them were Sugar Gliders. Now I decide to heck with the trio since it seems to be a loosing battle. I breed a Rock Rhino + Pandafoil to try for the Honey Hoarder and get a 13 hour timer. PLEASE tell me this is not another Sugar Glider!

I give up. I've spent so many gems speeding through fails only to get fail after fail after fail. I'm sorry, but I just don't buy that the breeding odds are the same for all of us. I seriously almost bought two gem packs thinking I would buy this, but I'm convinced if I did I wouldn't get the Deadwing by the time the event expires, which would frustrate me even more. I try because I keep hoping I'll get lucky but now I know I'm just kidding myself.

Finally - bred the steed this morning with Pyro and Panda. Almost afraid to hope for the Deadwing. I've never bred all 3 on a trio, here's hoping this is the one to do it!

This looks like it will be the third trio in a row that I cannot breed. Not a single one. Zero. Ziltch. I guess I have been around too long and the difficulty level has been cranked up too high for me. I cannot breed anything. I could not come close to winning the last flash tournament. Can't breed a racmoon. Last storybook I could not breed whatever it was that was required. It must be time to move on to another game.

Trios. Bah humbug.

Ok folks - is this the only 16hr outcome??

Finally bred the sugar glider & 2nd attempt after I've got the 16 hr timer!?! After 1 more failed fairy ferret. Not that I haven't been trying this whole time rotating btw the sugar glider & the steed. Now I'll be able to get a few shots in for 3rd animal in the trio;). Question is - do I buy the habitat with my space that's currently expanding?

Steed is in the nest....may throw in 1 attempt at limited animals, then deadwing til the end. Fingers crossed! Now if I could just get a unicorn!!

I feel your pain. Even though I said I would not speed breed, I did it any way. I have had 47 fails for the steed. Yes I said 47! How are other players getting the Steed with only 10 or less fails. I will try breeding again today. Why bother, because I love the steed. Time is running out so I think I might be delusional. Ha! Ha!

I've been trying with Pyro Pony and Pandaffodil over and over again with no luck. Started using the Sugar Skull and Pyro Pony and still nothing. If I miss out on this one and the next one, I think I'm finally done with this game :(

I was finally able to breed the glider on Oct. 24. I've been trying since then for this one, and nothing. I really don't see how the odds are the same for everyone when some have bread multiple of these animals and others haven't had any luck at all. I can't see me finishing this trio at this point...after this many days what are my chances of breeding two in the few days left?

I have 4 Skeletal Steed. Got the extra while trying to breed Deadwing. I wish I could just trade with neighbors for other animals. What would I do with 4 steed? She's a beauty alright, but I have not enough space, yet I can't bring myself to sell coz I would never be able to breed it in future. At times like this, I wish there's a trading portal in FFS like DS.

So only got the horse but it's ok as I wasnt really intrested in the other ones. I even got it twice were Im so happy about it cause I like to have it on Lv 4 and 15 :D

But it's still way to difficult to get these timed animals...

Congrats Ogreve! Another beautiful egg, I think I will pop over and take a peak at it. I finally got the sugarglider so I'm now attempting to breed a new horse, as soon as I do get it it's going to epic, has to be ready to join the other ponies in my forest for battle!

Good luck all hope we get this new animal quickly!

What did you use for sugar glider? Ty
