Sorry that I have not written down my breeding attempts, but I will share what I have found. It is summed up in one word:  RANDOM

I have had successes with all torches lit and with no torches lit. I just got a second Reebro and I didnt even notice that it was breeding. I was just breeding for coins and then I looked and a Reebro was in the Nursery! No torches but probably Level 15, 100% happys.

Another strange instance was a Nebulob success after many attempts with 20 torches lit and that time it was with 2 torches lit. Go figure.

Still no success with the Yool, but I got the Grumpy with Level 15 Deedge and Thumpies, 100% happy, No torches.

Here are two observations that I have made over time:

1)  Each player will have one island where it is more difficult to breed the ethereal.  In my case I think that it was the Reebro.  It was the last one I got after a huge number of attempts.

2)  Torches...  I have had as much success with just a couple, 2 to 4, as I have had with all 10.  I have had many failures with 10 torches.  Waste of diamonds.  Therefore...

RANDOM

The one suggestion that I have is this... before you waste a lot of diamonds lighting torches make a good number of attempts breeding your ethereals without torches. That gets a percentage of your failures behind you before you start wasting diamonds. Also, I have had more success with higher level monsters - at least Level 10, but 15 is best.

I no longer have time to light torches for others, so I have deleted most friends... sorry... just cant have people depending on me and all that. I dont really need to light any torches now anyway... :)  So please DO NOT add me, thanks.
