Dragonvale Tips & Tricks! (NO Friend Requests!)

I'm new to the forum, but have lurked for a month or so. I want to thank everyone for their postings, they are very helpful to me and all the other lurkers out there.

I would like to know if the gem tree is worth buying.. Anyone?

Please and thank you.
Happy breeding,
Missy

I haven't bought it but if you have a lot of friends that give gems then it seems nice people don't have to wait a long time to give/recieve. I only have a small group that give me gems so I haven't found it important to buy yet.
Also welcome! ;)

Hi all has anyone worked out the best way to lay out the habitats with boosts? I have three islands and struggling to organize it so that there are the least amount of negatives. At the moment I have plant earth fire on island one, island two is cold lightning air and third is water and rares.
 
Time for another round of embarrassing folks on my friends list by commenting on their parks. And I don't even care if they're not on this forum! How you like me now?

Fletch_smf
Fletch the Smurf, I absolutely love your heart around the Love dragon's habitat made out of little flower beds. Nice touch. Again, I like the flagstones and flower bed pattern around your warp-ins. Loving the abstract one on the cold island! It's like Stone Henge, or some stone garden at a fancy European castle. Makes me wish they'd make hedge decorations that link together like the stone paths. Love your Volcano Island, too, with the sun and the moon.

Nice work on commenting on everyone's islands. It does take some time and commitment.

Thank you, sir. I've decided that in front of the colosseum will be the new dragon display. Got my Panlong egg in the hatchery, and it will be taking pride of place there shortly. I guess I should wait until after Valentines days till I move the love dragons ...

And thanks for the comments on the Cold Island. Hedges would be awesome, but I guess the stone paths will have to do for the moment.

It depends on the dragons you have, but really you are always going to have negatives. All habitats are going to house dragons with most of the 7 elements, so there has to be some negatives. What's important is that you want to boost the fastest earners in the biggest habitats. For example, I had no rares until recently, and one of my biggest earners was the Quake Dragon, earth and lightning, so I put my earth and lightning habitats together, to give it an 44% boost.

You can check out the earnings of the dragons at Dragon Reference Chart - DragonVale Wiki Find your biggest earners and boost them.

Habitats, sorted by their Cap and biggest earning dragons

Earth
Quake - Lightning Boost

Cold
Bluefire/Frostfire (no boost can help them)
Iceberg - Water Boost
Storm - Lightning Boost (but this is the opposite of water, so must be one or the other)

Water
Swamp - Plant Boost
Fog - Air Boost

Fire
Scorch - Lightning Boost
Flower - Plant Boost

So have a look at your dragons, and see what combos work well together. Just remember your opposites, and that the fire boost doesn't negatively affect any habitat.

This was going to be a lot more thought out, but my head isn't working right now, lol. I hope it has helped.

I have mine:

Island 1 - 1 Rainbow, 5 Sun, 1 Breeding Cave, 1 Nursery
Island 2 - 2 Lightning, 2 Fire, 2 Moon
Island 3 - 3 Cold, 2 Earth
Island 4 - 1 Air, 1 Plant, 1 Water, Treat Farms
Island 5 - Arena

From there, check each dragon in each habitat & shuffle any hybrids with negative effects.

banksyboy18
Looks like you've got the basics covered. Looks like your bottommost island is expecting some stuff on the bottom of it. And you just got your third island. Congrats! Hope you fill it with lots of cool stuff!

DJProper
I see you're ready for rates with a Sun, Moon, and Rainbow tab on your Colosseum Island. Nicely laid out. Second island could use some design! Don't get bored! Looks like you also just got your third island. Congrats! Keep up with it!

master6357
That's a busy first island! But fun to explore. Seems like a lot of us just jamb all the habs together, and go for pure pragmatic designs. But your islands all have a bunch of cool decorations thoughtfully laid out. I like that. I like the little forest surrounding your breeding cave. Colosseum/rares island looks neat, with a big broadway leading up to the games!

Shavemeshavers
Okay, Mr. Level Thirty, your Colosseum Island still looks great. Lookit all those gold shrines! You're nuts. Your other islands are clearly there for the dragons. Nice not to see every spare square jamb-packed with stuff, like mine are. I also like your rares island, mostly because you have all those rares that I secretly want!

molls 70
You haven't touched your island since you started the game a couple weeks ago. That's okay. I'll mock you for your negligence at work (Molls is a co-worker of mine at one of my jobs; she doesn't read the forum).

Khammyr
Okay, I like your Colosseum Island. Not too crowded or junky like mine. Ice island looks like, too, more natural. Don't you wish they would make more snow decorations, or at least let us change the grass to snow? Your water/earth island is pleasantly free of paving stones, and I see you kept some of the original trees - nice move. And I see you've collected all the rares. Got a spare rainbow hab, too! Good luck!

MAGNAPHALIX
Nicely-laid-out Colosseum Island. I like the plant section - it's a little forest. Your fire island looks a little zen, with the few decorations set just so. Flags Around the World Island is neat. Definitely like the setup around the moon hab. Nice and symmetrical island. The hatchery island is nicely-laid-out, too, although I'd be afraid of all those wells freezing so close to the cold habs! Good luck with your mud + blazing not resulting in yet another lava.

kizenka
I like your Colosseum Island. Are you making room on the bottom part for the shrines? That'll look neat. Also like your farm island. It's interesting to see those various habitats all together, not segregated like people normally do. Cool design with the flagstones on the earth island.

{"SMURFETTE"}
I like your earth-and-fire half-and-half island! Oh, now I want coffee. Hmm. I see the popular blazing + mud combo going on in the EBI, too; you must really love lava dragons! I also like your little forest with the sun next to it. I like the yellow trees around the sun, too. Hoping for a rainbow, I see. I also like your water park! The air and water habs go nicely together, with the big welcome center on your way in. Panlong + lvl4 Plant, I see. Love your Colosseum Island. Nice job with the shrines and flags - decorated but not cluttered.

nenad8300
Oh, nenad, refreshing lack of flagstones. Them visitors don't need no stinking flagstones! What are your plans for the island with the water house and library?

Church the greay
Haven't seen flags around the hibernation cave yet. Looks good. Your Colosseum Island village in neat. The colds and airs and lightnings all blend well together with the big red tree and the thatched cottages. And you either just got your third island recently, or you like lawn bowling. You leaving that last little rock?

sunfresh77
Okay, I really like your hatchery island. Congrats on the Panlong! I like it because it doesn't have a big theme to it, but it still is tastefully decorated. Are you going to leave all those natural trees and rocks on your earth/Panlong island? Also like your little coven of Love dragons. Nice to see they have company! I like the original trees/rocks on that island, too. Colosseum ISland looks nice, with the eggs and shrines. And two suns *grumble grumble*! Gonna take my party hats and go elsewhere.

royal w/cheese
Awww, you got the Halloween decorations! I missed out on those and the reindeer. Boo. What are you planning on the Hibernation Cave island? I very much like the layout of your rainbow/moons island. Very symmetrical, not too busy, and the air and water flags look nice together with the purple and blue. Colosseum Island looks nice, too, with the little village on the top with the ponds. It's cute!

kyrajules141
I love entering your park zoomed in on that moon tab and the flags and pagodas. Neat! The one with the sun hab in the middle looks good for colors. The green and gold are great, with the brown earth mixed in, mirroring the green and gold trees with the earth habs. Got any plans for the Colosseum Island?

waglia
I like your lightning/cold island, with the farms. But do the farms like all that lightning and all that cold? The water/fire island looks neat, definitely a little abstract. Your Hibernation Cave Island is really cool. Looks like a labyrinth! Colosseum Island looks great, not too busy. Still love that you keep the breeding cave and hatchery secluded behind the egg wall. Congrats on the Panlong! And I absolutely love your foresty island.

BendikThe97
I like your Colosseum Island with the little line of trees on the bottom and the double-length thatched cottage, the little lightning shrine and hall of flags. All your islands are nicely-laid-out, orderly and decorated but not overly busy! Neat little village on the bottom island, with a nicely-designed town square around the stone egg. What're you gonna spend them gems on?

Fletch_smf
Fletch the Smurf, I absolutely love your heart around the Love dragon's habitat made out of little flower beds. Nice touch. Again, I like the flagstones and flower bed pattern around your warp-ins.

Makes me wish they'd make hedge decorations that link together like the stone paths. Love your Volcano Island, too, with the sun and the moon.

hazzard13
I like your dragon shrines island. Kinda looks abstract, but also ordered, almost as though there were more to it hundreds of years ago, but the land is growing back over to reclaim the territory, slowly covering paths and stuff, especially where you left the original trees and the big rock. Got any plans for the area of the rainbow flag on your hatchery island? I also like the cold/water/earth island, with all those pagodas. The Colosseum Island is interesting to look at, with all kinds of little touches, not just a big obvious design. Makes for better exploration, like the line of mushrooms, or the cacti around the hobbit's hole.

VDL04
Almost to level 30! Love your Hibernation Cave Island, with the paths to follow around. Look at all those lightning flags! Definitely like the symmetry of your earth/water/Panlong island. Good presentation. Colosseum Island is really nice, too, with the flag-lined boulevard as you approach the games. Love the path over to the secret pagoda. Is that where young wizards have their clandestine trysts after the games? Cold/air island is a nice design, too. I like that you're not afraid to leave open grass, not feeling pressured to fill every little square like me. And, wow, look at all those rainbows! Are they named, in order, Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, and Violet? Cuz you have seven of them. Hmm. Can I have one?

GT500Girl
Okay, Fart Dragon Island. Get them Panlongs outta there! Don't you know that Panlongs are too snooty for farty fog dragons? What a blow to their pride. I see you're intent on making cash by breeding sandstorms. Look at all the food, though! Whatcha doing with all that cash, saving up for the last island? Colosseum Island looks nice, well-decorated but not overly busy.

ItsBrettski
Yo, Brettski, again with the big parking lots! Looks good, though. I see you enjoy playing with flags. What I like the most about your islands, though, is the one with the air trees surrounding the warp-on. Why? Because, somehow, it looks like an oasis. I guess it's the tall trees with foliage only on the tops, surrounding the cool blue of the warp-in ... amidst a desert of flagstones. I dunno; I'm weird. When are you gonna save up for the Epic Breeding Island?

SnuggleTM
Okay, Snuggles, whatcha got? Lots and lots of high-level dragons, that's what. I think they look silly with balls over their heads. I like your farm island, mostly because of the design of the paths going down the middle of it. Actually, all your islands have interesting path designs. They're not the obvious symmetrical patterns. I like the sun island, with lots of variety and everything placed just so - not randomly messily jumbled. Winter wonderland is neat, too!

Snalfa
Love the S island. Nice colors. Can I have your giant pumpkin? F island is cool, especially the entry warp-in guarded by two dragon statues. The Z island (it's not an N - it's a Z!) is really cool with the air tree forest. You should maybe move the haunted house to where the eggs aren't blocking view of it any more. I like the stone paths on the A island, and how the dragon shrines kind of echo the A shape. L island is cool, with the double-pagoda L, but somehow the library doesn't fit in there. And your gem tree has one gem hanging off it. Weird.

Kyokuro Naionji
I really, really like the layout of your cold/water/plant/air island. The colors all work, the paths aren't too obvious, and the decorations are tasteful but full. All leading up to the moon. Your shrine island has nice symmetry to it, neat decoration designs. Are you gonna finish the rares island with another moon habitat? The other islands are neat, but what I really, really like is your baby dragons, especially the little family of reindeer dragons. It's really cute!

Matthew Ferraiolo
Colosseum Island looks great. Nice paths with the trees. I love the rose beds around your Breeding Cave. Kinda sets the mood, doesn't it? Similarly, I really like your fire habitat of Love dragons, surrounded with the rose beds. Are you going for all the shrines eventually? Love that you have two libraries - one can never have too many books! And Epic Breeding Island?

ivanabot
Liking your farms island, with the pagoda in the middle. Nice colors. I absolutely love your rares island, with the sun, moon, and rainbow. I love the lack of stone paths with all the natural trees. It looks great. Kinda busy but everything snug and nestled in the forest. Colosseum Island, on the other hand, just doesn't do it for me. Loving the rares on it, but otherwise not really my tastes. I like your fire/earth island, with those two enormous sandstorms and the double-wide paths. Trees look good with those habitats. I do like your O island with the yellow trees. Alternating the flower beds and flagstones is something I haven't seen before, and it is very interesting. But your poor visitors, trapped in that ring of trees, who can only peer out and catch glimpses of the dragons through the branches!

Servant 16:9
I like your shrines island, with that huge rock sitting there! Lots of silver! Colosseum Island looks good, too, almost like the dragons in those habitats surrounding it are all waiting to be picked to compete! I like your farm island, with the double-wide paths, and the roses. And your Panlongs are busy getting busy, I see. I need to get a second one so I can breed them together, too. Sigh. Say, what's your name in reference to?

amys1983
Okay, Amy, all I have to say for your islands is this: give it a rest on all the rares, okay? Sheesh! I think you got all my breeding luck instead of me! Not fair! Who needs fancy shmancy island design when you have nine rainbows and seven others? Although, what's this? No Panlong? Ouch!

dragonville10
Oh, there are all of Amy's Panlongs! Still absolutely love your Colosseum Island, best I've seen anywhere. Almost done with your bronze shrines, too! Your rares island looks good, too, with the red and yellow trees. I like the cold/hatchery island, and not because you have two (two!) Panlong eggs in it, but because of all the little touches, nothing too gaudy.

phibes74
I like your bed of roses layout with the gem tree and the little plant habitat forest. It's cute. Nice job on the shrines and the rares. Couple paper lanterns and a pagoda to keep your Panlongs feeling at home (mine is at home in his own Forbidden City, though ... nah nah). And the secluded Breeding Cave / Hatchery is a nice touch. I like your farm island with no stone paths. Keeps the colors peaceful. The colors work nicely also on the island with lighting/cold/earth.

michelin grey
Loving your Colosseum Island. See you're waiting on that second moon. Keep trying! I like the pattern on your farms island, especially how you hid the Breeding Cave out in the woods! Oh, and I see your moon is still in egg form. Congrats! I very much like your earth island, even though it's a little busy. Nice to explore, though. The bottom island, with the air/water/plant habs, is really neat looking. Lots of nice little touches there to discover, like the air trees and the dragon shrines and the little ponds and stuff.

.ilUli.
Okay, Captain Panlong, sheesh. Nice symmetry, though. Love the ponds and cacti. Shrines look great. I still like your checkerboard on the air habitat island. Your gem tree island looks really neat! Very nice layout; it obviously took planning. The Colosseum Island layout looks a lot like it, nice theme across two islands. Man, look at all those moons. SO unfair. Your winter island looks neat, too. I always thought that the lanterns looked real good with the cold/snowy decorations, kinda cozy and wintery.

lotusthreads
Love your moons island, and the air trees spilling down from the air habitat. All kinds of things going on, and I think it would look way too busy if there were stone paths in it, too. But without the paths it's just nicely full. The rainbow island looks nice, too, with all the original trees and rocks on it. Panlong island is similarly a chaotic but cozy forest. Neat! Farms island looks like it need something else going on there. Not sure what, though. Shrines?

birdmaestro
Okay, I still like the orange tree ring. Your island with the rainbow, sun, and moon is getting at me with all those flower beds, I dunno. But the nursery effect somehow makes me still love it! Can't resist those cute baby dragons! Interesting zig-zag effect with the stone paths and the gold shrine in the middle. I like that. Panlong Island is still awesome; I wouldn't change it. Your rising sun is what gave me the idea to try to hide mine on my Forbidden City Island. Really nice island there. I don't remember seeing the rainbow island. I really like that ring of trees with just rainbow dragons in it. Nice! And, again, your Colosseum Island is nice. Fancy, but not busy.

mybuster2go
Yay! Rainbow egg! Loving your gem tree island. Nice colors with the cacti and ponds together. I see a sneaky rainbow, too, leading to a pot of gold that is hidden behind a tree! You can't fool me! Your cold island is tastefully done, too. Like the earth/farms island also, with the natural trees/rocks.

rocknrollblogon
Your name still screws up my list - weird characters or something. Anywho, I like the simplicity of habitats placed around without all the noisy stone paths everywhere. I love the huge dumb rock plunked down in the middle of your earth island. It's like, "Here I am. I'm a big rock, and you hate me, but you'll never move me, cuz I'm huge and dumb. Pppt."

TheDevilsFootprints
Very nice designs. I like the dragon statue sitting in the very middle of the first island. Nice you don't feel the need to fill everything in. I really like your little village on the earth/lightning/fire island. Colosseum Island looks nice, definitely festive but not too busy. Just a simple moat of flowers. And I see you have your sun dragon in the hatchery, at long last. Congrats!

.tommyb.
Wow, me, your islands are so awesome! Your Colosseum Island is so cool with a whole city on it! Except it's way too full and busy! and get those dumb cold habs off of it; they don't belong! Your Walk in the Forest Island is the best island anyone has ever made! It's so cooool! I love how you have a baby Love dragon flitting about and tending your nursery, and you're so wicked clever hiding the habitats so it looks like she's there at your farm! Sooo cooool! And also your Forbidden City Island is the awesomest idea I've ever heard of! It needs a little work, but it's sssoooooo coooool for your Panlong, and the rising sun habitat idea you ripped off from Poppy! Neato! Your earth/lightning/fire island is boring! BO-rinng! Do something different! Man. But yeah like otherwise your islands are waaaay cooool. Like, way, man.

Well, that's it. I hope I didn't break the forum with such a long post! I got 163,170 coins from visiting you all. I find that my islands tend to be too busy. I will be revisiting them and trying to make them a bit more open like lots of yours. I don't absolutely have to fill every square! My Colosseum Island, for example, is just waaayy too crowded. And I need another island to get those colds off it! Oh, well. Thanks to everybody for sharing! Remember to visit each other and enjoy each other's islands!

Thanks for the thoughts :-) I do have plans for the rainbow habitat that would be to put a rainbow dragon in there. Been trying forever but no luck yet :-(
Will keep at it if nothing else I am persistent

I like the stone paths on the A island, and how the dragon shrines kind of echo the A shape. L island is cool, with the double-pagoda L, but somehow the library doesn't fit in there. And your gem tree has one gem hanging off it. Weird.

I really, really like the layout of your cold/water/plant/air island. The colors all work, the paths aren't too obvious, and the decorations are tasteful but full. All leading up to the moon. Your shrine island has nice symmetry to it, neat decoration designs. Are you gonna finish the rares island with another moon habitat? The other islands are neat, but what I really, really like is your baby dragons, especially the little family of reindeer dragons. It's really cute!

Colosseum Island looks great. Nice paths with the trees. I love the rose beds around your Breeding Cave. Kinda sets the mood, doesn't it? Similarly, I really like your fire habitat of Love dragons, surrounded with the rose beds. Are you going for all the shrines eventually? Love that you have two libraries - one can never have too many books! And Epic Breeding Island?

Liking your farms island, with the pagoda in the middle. Nice colors. I absolutely love your rares island, with the sun, moon, and rainbow. I love the lack of stone paths with all the natural trees. It looks great. Kinda busy but everything snug and nestled in the forest. Colosseum Island, on the other hand, just doesn't do it for me. Loving the rares on it, but otherwise not really my tastes. I like your fire/earth island, with those two enormous sandstorms and the double-wide paths. Trees look good with those habitats. I do like your O island with the yellow trees. Alternating the flower beds and flagstones is something I haven't seen before, and it is very interesting. But your poor visitors, trapped in that ring of trees, who can only peer out and catch glimpses of the dragons through the branches!

I like your shrines island, with that huge rock sitting there! Lots of silver! Colosseum Island looks good, too, almost like the dragons in those habitats surrounding it are all waiting to be picked to compete! I like your farm island, with the double-wide paths, and the roses. And your Panlongs are busy getting busy, I see. I need to get a second one so I can breed them together, too. Sigh. Say, what's your name in reference to?

Okay, Amy, all I have to say for your islands is this: give it a rest on all the rares, okay? Sheesh! I think you got all my breeding luck instead of me! Not fair! Who needs fancy shmancy island design when you have nine rainbows and seven others? Although, what's this? No Panlong? Ouch!

dragonville10
Oh, there are all of Amy's Panlongs! Still absolutely love your Colosseum Island, best I've seen anywhere. Almost done with your bronze shrines, too! Your rares island looks good, too, with the red and yellow trees. I like the cold/hatchery island, and not because you have two (two!) Panlong eggs in it, but because of all the little touches, nothing too gaudy.

I like your bed of roses layout with the gem tree and the little plant habitat forest. It's cute. Nice job on the shrines and the rares. Couple paper lanterns and a pagoda to keep your Panlongs feeling at home (mine is at home in his own Forbidden City, though ... nah nah). And the secluded Breeding Cave / Hatchery is a nice touch. I like your farm island with no stone paths. Keeps the colors peaceful. The colors work nicely also on the island with lighting/cold/earth.

Loving your Colosseum Island. See you're waiting on that second moon. Keep trying! I like the pattern on your farms island, especially how you hid the Breeding Cave out in the woods! Oh, and I see your moon is still in egg form. Congrats! I very much like your earth island, even though it's a little busy. Nice to explore, though. The bottom island, with the air/water/plant habs, is really neat looking. Lots of nice little touches there to discover, like the air trees and the dragon shrines and the little ponds and stuff.

Okay, Captain Panlong, sheesh. Nice symmetry, though. Love the ponds and cacti. Shrines look great. I still like your checkerboard on the air habitat island. Your gem tree island looks really neat! Very nice layout; it obviously took planning. The Colosseum Island layout looks a lot like it, nice theme across two islands. Man, look at all those moons. SO unfair. Your winter island looks neat, too. I always thought that the lanterns looked real good with the cold/snowy decorations, kinda cozy and wintery.

Love your moons island, and the air trees spilling down from the air habitat. All kinds of things going on, and I think it would look way too busy if there were stone paths in it, too. But without the paths it's just nicely full. The rainbow island looks nice, too, with all the original trees and rocks on it. Panlong island is similarly a chaotic but cozy forest. Neat! Farms island looks like it need something else going on there. Not sure what, though. Shrines?

Okay, I still like the orange tree ring. Your island with the rainbow, sun, and moon is getting at me with all those flower beds, I dunno. But the nursery effect somehow makes me still love it! Can't resist those cute baby dragons! Interesting zig-zag effect with the stone paths and the gold shrine in the middle. I like that. Panlong Island is still awesome; I wouldn't change it. Your rising sun is what gave me the idea to try to hide mine on my Forbidden City Island. Really nice island there. I don't remember seeing the rainbow island. I really like that ring of trees with just rainbow dragons in it. Nice! And, again, your Colosseum Island is nice. Fancy, but not busy.

mybuster2go
Yay! Rainbow egg! Loving your gem tree island. Nice colors with the cacti and ponds together. I see a sneaky rainbow, too, leading to a pot of gold that is hidden behind a tree! You can't fool me! Your cold island is tastefully done, too. Like the earth/farms island also, with the natural trees/rocks.

rocknrollblogon
Your name still screws up my list - weird characters or something. Anywho, I like the simplicity of habitats placed around without all the noisy stone paths everywhere. I love the huge dumb rock plunked down in the middle of your earth island. It's like, "Here I am. I'm a big rock, and you hate me, but you'll never move me, cuz I'm huge and dumb. Pppt."

TheDevilsFootprints
Very nice designs. I like the dragon statue sitting in the very middle of the first island. Nice you don't feel the need to fill everything in. I really like your little village on the earth/lightning/fire island. Colosseum Island looks nice, definitely festive but not too busy. Just a simple moat of flowers. And I see you have your sun dragon in the hatchery, at long last. Congrats!

Wow, me, your islands are so awesome! Your Colosseum Island is so cool with a whole city on it! Except it's way too full and busy! and get those dumb cold habs off of it; they don't belong! Your Walk in the Forest Island is the best island anyone has ever made! It's so cooool! I love how you have a baby Love dragon flitting about and tending your nursery, and you're so wicked clever hiding the habitats so it looks like she's there at your farm! Sooo cooool! And also your Forbidden City Island is the awesomest idea I've ever heard of! It needs a little work, but it's sssoooooo coooool for your Panlong, and the rising sun habitat idea you ripped off from Poppy! Neato! Your earth/lightning/fire island is boring! BO-rinng! Do something different! Man. But yeah like otherwise your islands are waaaay cooool. Like, way, man.

Well, that's it. I hope I didn't break the forum with such a long post! I got 163,170 coins from visiting you all. I find that my islands tend to be too busy. I will be revisiting them and trying to make them a bit more open like lots of yours. I don't absolutely have to fill every square! My Colosseum Island, for example, is just waaayy too crowded. And I need another island to get those colds off it! Oh, well. Thanks to everybody for sharing! Remember to visit each other and enjoy each other's islands!

Thanks Tommy. I love the fact that you took so much time and effort. Do you have any tips to make my islands better. I would love to know if anybody has some tips.

Hi all has anyone worked out the best way to lay out the habitats with boosts? I have three islands and struggling to organize it so that there are the least amount of negatives. At the moment I have plant earth fire on island one, island two is cold lightning air and third is water and rares.

I put the positives on the island with boosts and have an island without boosts for the negatives and if move boosts check all the dragons to ensure all are still positives.
Hope that helps.

Holy moley! Just fed my one sandstorm up to 10 to try again for a Moon - wow! is that guy big! He's really overpowering his surroundings. It's weird - I think I'm gonna put him in the HC, I'm not gonna like looking at him all the time, he's just way too big. And? No luck w/moon... It's another storm I think. Sigh...

Ive heard that at level 19 its bigger then the colesseum, but at level 20 it reverts back to its normal size :)
