On plant island, I have had several t-rox eggs cooking that were initially bred before all 10 torches were lit. There were some torches lit, just not all 10 when I put them in. They immediately showed up with the correct cooking time for t-rox eggs. Then during their cooking time all 10 torches were lit, but they remained t-rox eggs and hatched as t-rox monsters.

The one time I successfully bred a Ghazt since the torch update, all 10 torches were lit before I bred it and it immediately popped up with the right breeding time for the Ghazt. I have this exact same method. I concur that the chances take effect before breeding happens. I got a Ghazt my first try after having 9/10 lit. I haven't had luck with making a Shugabush with 8 lit but I keep trying each day unless I have no or few torches lit, I am trying to build more cash flow, so I'm also taking Entbrat breeds. I do not think it affects 4 elements since they are not that hard to get (at least they haven't been for me) plus in the text it indicates 'rare' monsters. I sure hope that Shugabush is included as well as the holiday limited editions so I can 'catch up' considering I just began this game less than 3 weeks ago, I'd LOVE to have a Yool :D
