I dont know how to determine the percentages on the Torches. But I know they work! Congrats to all who have Torched their way to Success !!

I am Level 30, started playing around July. I have bred for the Ghatz pretty much continuously ever since I could. I could not tell you how many times. Now I Bred the Ghatz with all torches lit. Finally.

Other successes  WITH the torches have been 2 Boodoos, and a Jeeode. I already had a Jeeode and a Grumpy on Ethereal. And I bred a new Quarrister with no torches. (it is quite a shock to me to get the monsters that I wanted !  I am so used to breeding TRoxes over and over and over !!)

The only one that I am failing with is the Reebro. 10 torches and no good. This is about 3-4 times. And I have been trying for the Reebro steady for quite a while pre-torch.

I had thought that the torches were helping me so much (thanks to my friends) because I had already bred so many times that maybe it clicked a "success" switch or something. But then many have had success as a beginner and some more experienced players  have reported No success at all with all torches lit.

So, after all of that blah blah blah, I think that it is still random but the chances are much higher. Maybe not 50/50 but higher than before. And that is OK because if everything was easy this game would be boring :)

note about the Shugabush: he is not considered rare or hard to breed, but some have reported a low success rate. Just keep trying and dont give up!
