how were you able to get so much-- i mean im assumign that's more than people pay for a non G1 with two matching colors, but why??
Essentially, because it's a G1.
Here's the thing about G1s: they're a bit like the lottery on FR.
First you need an unhatched egg. They're like 200k each right now. You could find one for free in the coli or by Scavenging, but that is a preeetty rare event. So each chance costs you a lot or money, or is free but very rare.
And then you hatch it. All three color slots are random.
There are now 177 colors. So there's a 1/177 chance of getting two colors that match (I think). It's higher if you want to make it a double of a new color, and even higher for the third color being new as well. But I can't math that, so we'll just say it's a big number.
The XYX I sold was Clay/Sable/Clay, which is 1 off of being a Triple. People REALLY like G1s where all the colors go together. And having them all very very close in range with each other is magic. ESPECIALLY with all the new color hype going on right now. Essentially this dragon won the RNG lottery.
There is a 1 in 31,329 chance of hatching any triple G1, and a 1 in 48,219 of getting a new color triple.
It's a little bit like encountering a Shiny Pokemon through normal gameplay. You can play for ever and ever and BAM shiny encounter! And it's a Weedle. Oooor it could be something a lot cooler.
With non-G1s, you have a lot of control over the hatchlings because breeding is based on a range on a color wheel, not random chance. Also, they're free to produce, just keep breeding the dragons and suddenly your lair is overflowing with new babies.
Price difference example:
I have a pair of Crystal X/Obsidian Ripple/Obsidian Underbelly Imps who hatch XYYs every single time. I can sell them for maybe 50-80k treasure each if the primary color is nice. I just sold a new colored baby with matching eyes for 125k treasure.
I once had a Lemon/Obsidian/Obsidian G1 with clashing Lighting eyes (so the eyes clashing would detract points). I sold it for 15k gems, which is the equivalent of around 12,450,000 treasure.
