So, I decided to have a shot at the Storking, despite it being earth-fire, and... lo and behold! I instantly got a 15 hour timer!
I probably shouldn't be writing this (as that may bring bad karma), and the Service Dogs trio also instantly started with the right timer (but then a Volcamel fail), but at least it's exciting to have gotten the right timer on the very first try!
Now let's hope it's the Storking and not another Magmacore, as I've already got 4 of those. Tomorrow I'll know.
Meanwhile.... should it indeed be the Storking, that would be GREAT as that would instantly eliminate having to breed earth-fire for now and then I can try an interesting formula I thought of for having shots at the Rudolphin, Noelephant and gem animals all in one go: Ruby Razorback + water-nature. This even gives shots at a further Crystal Unicorn, and.... the water+fire components are essentially nullified into a single common outcome, being the Skyger. At the same time then, without having to choose, I'd have shots at the Rudolphin and Noelephant at the same time. :P
