Dragonvale Tips & Tricks! (NO Friend Requests!)

Leveling up is about earning coins to buy food. You need to increase the coin production in your biggest habitats, that being earth and cold. Just had a quick look at your islands:

The most obvious way to increase your coin production is to move the Water Boost to your Panlong Island. At level 10 this will increase their output from 231 to 278. Lightning dragons will take a hit, but it will be smaller than the increase that the Panlongs receive. Your 3 quakes will drop from 71 to 59 and your crystal will drop from 57 to 48. So your two panlongs will increase 94 coins and your crystal/quakes will drop 45 coins. Net gain 49 coins. And your dragons are obviously higher than level 10's so the gain will be bigger.

If you split up your Earth habitats onto two Islands and move your Lightning shrine with your Quakes/Crystal you don't lose anything, and just make gains.

Blue/frostfire dragons in your cold habitats are the best way to go. They are big earners, boosted by cold and not negatively affected because cold's opposite is plant.

So from that point, it's really just about increasing the number of panlong & blue/frostfires you have.

Wonderful, Thanks for the tips.. Will try to relocate as you specified and will also breed more Panlongs :)

One more thing, moving the water boost might assist Panlongs but i have many Fog dragons which might lose their bonus as well which is again a loss.. Maybe, i should first breed more Panlongs and then move the the water boost..

Yeah unfortunately I have spent countless gems and time trying all the possible confirmed combos for Panlong.
I got my first with Fog / Lava but it took literally 50 tries.

So now I continue to try Panlong (15) / Plant (4).
I also have started to try Fog (10) / Lava (4).

It's been about 5 days and another 50 or so tries since. I will push on and hope that my 2nd panlong comes soon......

Thanks for your support!

Head up. It will come. Lots of hope coming your way. Mine took forever too.
 
Hey Fletch. I could really use yours and Poppy's ideas to my islands. I need to make my islands money makers. Would love to know how to make heaps more money for my fifth island and get my shrines to silver. You guys are amazing in working out what should go where.
 
I have a query. I recently had a move around on my islands, it's still work in progress, and among the move I shifted the coliseum to island 5 as I wanted a kinda overtaken by nature look for it and the shrines in rainbow order. Since I moved it I'm consistently getting silver and I was getting mainly gold before.
Has anyone else had a similar problem or is it just coincidence ?

Goodness, you've got 7 of them! They will take a hit, still smaller than the panlongs will increase, but not unsubstantial when there is 7 of them. Ideally, you move the Earth habitats with the panlongs + those water habitats + the fire habitats to the same island, along with the fire and water boosts. Leave the Lightning with the other Earth habitats and both of those boosts. I would suggest putting the air on the Cold Island, but that looks pretty full, lol. So maybe leave the air habitats on their own.
 
Okay, couldn't wait for Valentines Day to be over ... have replaced the display in front of the Colosseum with a Panlong display.

And have redone my fire, air, rare island. Just pretend they're hedges ...

All comments welcomed.
 
I'm not sure what to do. I've got my fire shrine to silver and almost my plant shrine to silver, my hibernation cave can hold 50 and I've got a lot of poisons in there, do I sell these dragons and work on the other shrines? Or do I keep going with them and get to gold before I work on getting the other shrines to silver? Bearing in mind I still haven't managed to breed a panlong :( and I thought I would get bronze halo's once I got to silver? Please help the novice :) xx


Oops I realized the halo comes when u feed past level 10, ignore that bit! :)

Why thank you.

Just had a quick look at your islands, but it's really a matter of getting the fastest earners in the biggest cap habitats.

Earth - Cap 75K
Panlong 30 coins level 1 - Boost with Fire and Water
Quake 9 coins level 1 - Boost with Earth and Lightning
Crystal 7 coins level 1 - Boost with Earth and Lightning

Cold - Cap 50K
Blue/Frostfire 20 coins level 1 - Boost with cold
Reindeer 15 coins level 1 - Cannot be boosted
Storm 9 coins level 1 - Boosted with cold and lightning

Water - Cap 30K
Swamp 9 coins level 1 Boosted with Water and Plant
Water/Fog/Iceberg 8 coins level 1 - Boosted with Water and air or Cold
(Panlong also can go here, but it's much better for it to be in the larger cap Earth habitat.

Water and Lightning are opposites, so it's a waste of time to have them both on the same island. And we can obviously only have the boost on one island. So the most efficient set up is:

Island 1
Earth, water and plant habitats together + these boosts AND fire, holding Panlongs (boosted 44% to 43 coins at level 1), swamp (boosted 44% to 13 coins at level 1) & water (boosted 20% to 10 coins at level 1) dragons. If there's room for a fire habitat as well, populate it with Love dragons to get it to fill quickly.

Island 2
Cold, earth and lightning habitats + boosts (not earth) holding Bluefire/Frostfire (boosted 20% to 24 coins at level 1), reindeers (not boosted 15 coins at level 1), storms (boosted 20% to 11 coins at level 1), quakes (boosted 20% to 11 coins at level 1).

Island 3
Fire, air & water habitats + air boost holding the remainder.

Earnings for dragons at each level can be found at Dragon Reference Chart - DragonVale Wiki Multiply by 1.2 or 1.44 to find out what the increase would be with single or double boosts.

I did exactly this, and ended up selling them. The idea of spending 16 million dollars on food to get them to level 15 and then selling them for 5000 just couldn't justify hanging on to them all while get those 2 shrines to gold.

Do you have blue/frostfires? These are your biggest earning fire dragons, and you need to get them up to level 15 as soon as you can. This means they will be earning more for you in the future. But then just start working on getting the other shrines to silver, saving up all your gems along the way to upgrade your HC to hold 100 dragons so you're not having to sell off as many dragons as you would if your cave only held 50.

Also, I see you have silver Fire and Earth shrines. Spend your food on getting the big earners of these hybrids to level 15 first. Essentially your Panlongs & Bluefire dragons then Quakes.

Here's my next list! And sorry again about the typos! Evil iphone! :D

Emma_soji
I love that you still have a plant habitat! Not alot of people kept these in favour of higher earning habitats. So well done there :) And the egg statues on your portals look cool too. I still have one too :D

I like the breeding cave island! The flower beds an air trees around the cave really compliment the colours inside the cave. I also like that the pathways arent all around the island. i think there are some smaller decorations that the island could do without, but i love your baby sun dragon! Maybe some more yellow trees near him or a red tree cause the colours will set him off nicely :)

Loving your Panlong/colosseum island! Its really unique. I havent seen an island laid out like this before. The flags in the triangular formation look great and the pumpkins look like they are guarding the games.

I love the natural look of your water island. Looks like a fantasy forest!

The natural decorations on your shrine island are cool too. I like that there are only rainbows and the HC on this island. Aesthetically pleasing:D

Your cold/air island have a real natural feel to them too. Simple, yet designed. Good luck with your shrines! Xoxo

Another unique colosseum island. Havent seen an island with the colosseum in the middle before. And the shrines around the edge of the island look great too! There are alot of little flower beds! Perhaps one every second square instead?

Love your nursery islad. With all te trees it looks real natural. Took me a while to realise it was a baby island! Personally , i'd be inclined to put the breeding cave a little further away from the hatchery. Behind some trees in the corner perhaps. Just so the lovely couple can have some privacy ;) Just a thought.

I shall call the treat farm island the autumn island cause of all the colours!! Very nice. I like how simple it is in design and yet really nice to look at. With no dragons on this island its also very clean. The central pagodas are a cool touch. Perhaps a few more lanterns?

I see you've carried the square design on the earth/fire island too. And you also have a plant habitat! Nice :D I love your use of colour here. Very co-ordinated, but your guests are trapped at the portal with no way onto the island! Lol

Your last island i would tweak a little. Instead of the yellow trees, i would put snowy pines and some air trees to match the habitat on the island. I would leave some yellow trees near the lightning habitat. Just a thought. And i love the checkerboard design of the paths and flowerbeds. Excellent!

Neary at level 30 i see! Keep working on it Ivana :) xoxo

Your main islands are so busy and your dragons are so big! It looks like jurassic park! ^_^ Let me just say, i love your gold shrines and you inspire alot of us on this game :)

Your colosseum island is cool, but i would be inclined to remove a few of the smaller decorations. And maybe move your moons to another island. Perhaps the pagoda island would look cool?

The pagoda island is so serene! The large expanses of grass are nice to see and the flower bed borders are a nice addition.

On the treat farm island i like how the portal sits between the farms and then pastthe wonderful shrines or past some food or accomodation. After that, onto the rest of the park. Love the central ponds too. But like the 1st island, id remove a few small decorations.

The suns on your cold island are a nice touch. Its like they are trying to warm up the cold dragons. And im jealous of your halloween decorations. I accidentally sold mine when i was redecorating :(

Aah... The Panlongs! And the crowns on some them look mighty impressive! I like the simplicity of this island. Very clean and functional. I also love how you've used the bamboo decoration to make a bamboo forest.

And then theres your "rares" island. Very clean lines, love the placement of your gem tree. A very unique design. Congrats on all your achievements Adam! Xoxo

Phibes74 (Tricia)
Ive been looking forward to checkin out ur islands Trish! I love the foresty feel of all your islands. Each groupings of habitats has its own little forest encircling them. I like how each one is also colour co-ordinated.

Perhaps you coulf incorporate the pathways you have used on thr gem tree island on your other islands? Would tie them all together nicely :)

I see you've gotten 2 of the shrines to silver on your colosseum island. It will be good once you get your next island. You can split the colosseum over the 2 islands. The panlonga and the breeding cave and hatchery on one. The colosseum on the new island perhaps?

Another suggestion. Maybe move some (or all) of your treat farms to one of these islands? Would free up some space on your moon island. So close to that next island! Keep saving Tricia! Xoxo

Rachb1122
Oh my god! I love your designs! Very neatly laid out. I think sometimes the more we can have, the more we get and sometimes it can look cluttered. But you've kept your islands very neat!

I love the element groupings you've done with the matching decorations. I also like that even though the habitats are grouped together, they're not all square and symmetrical. I know, i know! That goes against all my self being, but it looks so great! Its neat without the symmetry!! :)

I see you're breeding panlongs. I hope your going to put these on your colosseum island near the pagodas. That would look awesome!

With your colosseum island, i love your rares and there placement. But im not too sure of the placement of the villas and library... But im not sure why im not sure! Lol. Perhaps i move the portal to in front of the colosseum and spread the buildings out more.

Overall, i think you've done an awesome job. Good luck on your rainbow hunt too! Xoxo

Your meandering path island is awesome! I actually borrowed the idea for half of my colosseum island (as you've seen). And i like that it has a small water habitat. Most people upgrade their habitats straight up, but i think they look cute. And the natural decorations make it more serene.

Your forbidden city island is sooo cool! I like islands with a story. I love egg statue wall. That would have cost a small fortune ;) And your panlong, centre of attention up on his pedestal. Love it!!

I like the symmetry on your earth/fire island! Although, just cause im picky, i would put the lightning habitat at the top of the island and have the earth habitats on each side of the island. And thr colours compliment the habitats really well.

Your colosseum island is really busy. I would be inclined to remove some of the buildings. Other then that, i love the cold habitats and matching decorations and the flags in front of the colosseum.

Good luck with the shrines and thr hunt for more rares! Xoxo

Ooh! Symmetry! Your islands rock!
I'm a little OCD and love how symmetrical your islands are!

Your colosseum island is fantastic! I love the rares flanking the games and with the flags as markers arw good too. And the gem tree front and centre is brilliant!

Your cold island is lovely. The 2 red trees are a nice contrast to the blue and white of the habitats.

The earth/fire island is great too! I just love all the symmetry. Dont you wish we could rotate some of the decorations. I do think a second sun at the top of the island would look better then the rainbow. Perhaps move the rainbow to behind the colosseum?

I like your breeding/treat farm island too! Even though its not symmetrical like the others, its still very structured which i love. I love how you segregated the breeding cave and the hatchery from the rest of the island. Especially the natural trees and rocks.

Overall, the most symmetrical islands, besides my own, that ive seen. Awesome work Michelle! Xoxo

Gypsy_purple
Awesome! Your rares is giving me some ideas for my own island! I love how neat this island is and your forest around the bottom is cool. May i suggest using some rares flags near the habitats? It would look cool! :)

The shrines in front of the colosseum look cool. Havent seen it set out that way before. And your red habitats compliment you fire habitats and volcano nicely. I think your gem tree should be on your rares islands. It gets lost on the colosseum island. I would also be inclined to move the flags to either around your colosseum, or perhaps in front or beside the shrines. Not sure about the hatchery and breeding cave should be on this island either. Perhaps on the luuurve island ;)

Speaking of the love island! I love it! Its a shame the plant habitat holds so little cash. I think perhaps a border of rose gardens and then group the habitats a little closer together. I think it would look nice :)
All your visitors are stuck on the warp pad! Its funny. They warp in, "Eww! Love dragons!" and warp back out again! ^_^

I think they're awesome islands and keep working on it :) xoxo

Thanks for the review that was really nice of you t o do that for all of us. I took on board a couple of your suggestions ,and I like the changes I've made....... Xo

Thanks! Unfortunately I still haven't managed to get a blue fire or frost fire! I might cave in and buy them with gems soon, it's getting very frustrating!
I Appreciate the help, it's going to be a long slow process!!
 
Yeah unfortunately I have spent countless gems and time trying all the possible confirmed combos for Panlong.
I got my first with Fog / Lava but it took literally 50 tries.

So now I continue to try Panlong (15) / Plant (4).
I also have started to try Fog (10) / Lava (4).

It's been about 5 days and another 50 or so tries since. I will push on and hope that my 2nd panlong comes soon......

Thanks for your support!

Geez. I really feel for you. I know how frustrating it can be. Did you try to go back to the exact original combo that gave you the first one? Just trying to come up with anyway for you to get it....your welcome! Hope you get it soon!
 
I have a query. I recently had a move around on my islands, it's still work in progress, and among the move I shifted the coliseum to island 5 as I wanted a kinda overtaken by nature look for it and the shrines in rainbow order.

I think it is coincidence because I was getting mostly gold and it has switched to mostly silver now.
