Dragonvale Tips & Tricks! (NO Friend Requests!)

The logging in and out is the most annoying thing. It would be great if GameCenter could hold all the User names and passwords and allow you to switch between them more easily.

I agree with that ! X x x

I finished updating my spreadsheets and it turns out that thanks to the new game update my park's potential earnings per day are about 1M less than before And that is with one more fully optimized Panlong habitat (the panlongs had been sitting in a water habitat before, so they earned less). The cold boost switcheroo is partly to blame, costing me about 1/2M. And then there are the practically empty metal habitats, one of which is still under construction. Sigh...I think I better speed up that crystal that brought my production to a standstill. And I so didn't want to use gems on the new dragons

At this time the metal dragons are low earners. No comparison to blue or frost. Unless there is a turbo boost combo I am not aware of.

Breeding for Cash

I was lying in bed last night going to sleep, thinking about DragonVale, as you do, and I was thinking about the Cactus Dragon ... 30 minutes for 100 000. I thought that's a pretty reasonable return on investment, started doing some sums in my head, and realised that it also earns more than Air/Sandstorm breeding, at least in the beginning. Working is below.

Cactus Dragon, 100 000 for the first hour, then 100 000 for every 30 minutes after that (as you can pop them back in the breeding cave while the next egg is hatching). So:
100 000 - 1 hour 100k/hour
300 000 - 2 hours 150k/hour
500 000 - 3 hours 166k/hour
700 000 - 4 hours 175k/hour

In the same 4 hours a Sandstorm has only earned you 500K or 125k/hour. It's a lot more labour intensive, having to check the game every 30 minutes, but if you have a peak time of 4 hours or something when you're going to be online sweeping habitats anyway, breeding Cacti Dragons is better than breeding Air/Sandstorm. However, after that point they also have the advantage of breeding again whilst the egg is hatching, so their hourly rate increases as well. Let's compare:

6 Hours
1.1 million - Cactus 183k/hour
1 million - Sandstorm 166k/hour

Still haven't caught up here, for the sake of one extra Cactus Dragon and the 100 000 it would bring. But the real interesting thing occurs at the 8 hour mark

1.5 million - Cactus 187 500/hour
1.5 million - Air/Sandstorm 187 500/hour
1.5 million - Magnetic Dragon 187 500/Hour

I find it hard to believe that's a coincidence. After that point they all continue to increase their hourly rate, but the Magnetic Dragon is increasing it by the larger amount because it is now taking advantage of "breeding whilst hatching".

12 hours
2.3 million - Cactus 191 666/hour
2.5 million - Air/Sandstorm 208 333/hour
3 million - Magnetic 250k/hour

So ... what were you thinking about in bed last night?

Wow fletch just wow ......... I wa thinking How I would like a silver rainbow dragon to be a new rare lol x x x

Man the one I thought was a rainbow was a moon what a disappointment to be honest :'( trying again tomorrow night for a rainbow really hope I can get it other wise I'm moving onto pan along attempts

Give it a shot during the day. I wonder if it makes a difference.

[Segbert]

That's way too soon. 4th of July is more likely, imo. BFS will have a sketched out plan for DragonVale for the rest of this year at least.

True, but it may already be programmed in the update. Hmmmmm

[WraithSA]

Everyone missed the biggest thing in the update XD the little B at the bottom of the app icon :P

I remember you posting about this. Of course it sucked for you, bit it made me feel a bit less of an idiot. Now I double and triple check, tho fortunately it's not bad enough yet to qualify as OCD
