You do NOT have to speed it! It doesn't need to hit the nest before the time expires. If Easter is what you bred before the timer ran out, Easter us what you'll hatch.
I bred my Passion in it's final minutes. The egg went into the nest the day AFTER the dragon retired then idled on the nest for a couple extra days.
Don't listen to people saying the breed will somehow change. If you get some other egg, that's what you had bred in the first place.
Good to know!! I think it's so rare for people to get it in the last second that most people feel like they have to see the egg to believe. Of course, I'd feel a lot better if I knew for sure what it would be... if every red/yellow combo under the sun didn't have a 12 hour breed time!
The problem is the 12 hrs breeding time can be any of the alternative of the 2-3 dragons, whiles firestorm being the most common dragon that everyone is getting, hope you do get the easteregg.
Last attempt (not speed breeding at double cost) was Eagle.
Jeez. What a pain.
I hope Team Lava would extend the Easter Dragon. I've been trying all red + yellow combos and I've gotten a couple of honeybees and scorpions but no easter. It has to be a super rare and double super rare.
