A short window means preparation

The Equinox is the first dragon with two Epic elements, and you only get about a week. Have a Blazing Dragon (a Fire/Lightning hybrid) and a Water dragon both at level 4+ well before mid-March or mid-September, then keep every spare cave on the pair for the whole week.

Timer caution

24 hours is a crowded timer — Crystal, Eldritch and Lunis share it — so check what else your pair could produce. Our Egg Timer lists them.
