With the introduction of the Market, I think we might have a chance to really get a good look at the "official" rarities of each breed based on the prices in the Market. How often do the prices fluctuate, by the way? I'm thinking someone (or me) could track the price of each egg at the same time of day for a set period of time and use that to get an average price for each egg, which could ultimately establish a baseline for the wiki to classify rarity. That said, I'm not on the DragCave forums at all so if this is already happening somewhere and I'm late to the party, uh, hi. It'd be nice to finally get some clarity, though. Eventually I get round to replying, I really like this idea and had it in mind when the Market was first released. My idea is to use a "bracket" system which would allow for minor fluctuations in Market price without affecting the Rarity status that is attached to it here via the wiki. What I mean by "bracket system" is to say for example "Anything between 100-300 shards = Common".

At the moment, the lowest shard amount is 100, while the highest is 4,400 (shockingly taken by Magmas at the moment, with the second highest being 3,900 tying Gold to Ice and Thunder dragons). From previous discussion, I've deduced the current Rarity category names we seem to have so far, one of which needs an official name decided on:
 * Common
 * Uncommon
 * Scarce / Sparse / Very Few / Infrequent (name needs deciding- open to other suggestions)
 * Rare
 * Very Rare
 * Holiday (Special- technically separate from others)
