I've been wondering, how do you force an egg to hatch? I've seen it mentioned several times today on the DC forum, but I can't seem to see how it's done...

When it gets close to hatching, go to the actions menu and select kill egg. There is a slight chance you may actually kill the egg (especially if its too close to hatching or it has soft shell) but most of the time it will force the egg to hatch.

Indeed! I would recommend that if you wish to "force" hatch your egg that you wait until it is in the 4.00 range (up to 4.99, but I theorize that the less time the better your success) or less. There are three possibilities: you can force hatch and it will die, it will hatch and you will catch it, or it will hatch and scamper away. Most of the time, for me, I will catch it. I did have one run away from me and one died, though. (I did not know of these until experience!)

Oh, I see. I think I'd be too terrified to lose the egg, lol. I think I'd only try it on my mint egg right now since I don't really care for that breed anyway. Who knows? I still have 5-6 days on all my eggs anyway. Thanks for the info.

Im still waiting on my hatchlings to grow up...I cant get any more eggs until then

So far 10 dragons and only one male...

That is reverse to the truth. Forcing a egg is extremely dangerous, and there is a slim chance it will actually work. Nearly everyone on the Dragon Cave forums say not to try it, as each person has only successfully done it once or twice.

Not so. I have done it successfully every single time except for once. Most people on the forums have *never* done it, and most wouldn't, but it is not high risk.

An update if you use the DC fansite...it has changed URLS

Happy posting!

I have four dragons and four eggs...how can you go about looking at other people's scrolls without having to click on their direct link (like in the signature)? Is there a place to just browse scrolls? I know I have to have ten dragons to start rating descriptions, but I'm just wondering how to view scrolls at this point.

Thanks for that link! I was sad when the other site went down.

I haven't found a place to view a list of scrolls. You just have to click on the dragons on dragoncave.net or on dailydragonfix.com. Those are the two main sites I use. Other than that, you can go to the DC forum and find random threads. There, you can't put individual eggs/hatchlings in your signature. All you're allowed is a link to your scroll. And they're very particular about that. I've never seen a forum that enforces the rules as much as that one. It's kind of nice.

If you go to the DC Fansite, they list the scroll along with the eggs so you can click and browse if you want! Also, if you know the persons name you can go to www.dragcave.net/user/scrollname and browse that way too.

The forum is a little overwhelming, so I thought I'd ask you guys in here. One of my new eggs has a diagonal line going through it (I read that a dead egg will have a horizontal line through it). I don't recall seeing the diagonal line (it's not a jagged crack, it's a straight, clean line) before with my other four eggs. Any idea what it is? The egg has over four days left to hatch. Just curious...
