BreedingEdit

Before you start Breeding, you need to have a Breeding Cave that will unlock at Level 7. There are some factors that will possibly affect the results:

• The elements that are present in the pair.
• Time of day testing shows that Sun Dragon and Moon Dragon are affected by time. See the respective pages for more details.
  • No other dragons have been shown to be impacted upon by the time of day in which breeding is started.
• Some Limited dragons need specific Breeding dragons to be bred. E.g. for a Clover Dragon  you need a Moss Dragon and a normal or hybrid Plant Dragon.
• The level of the dragon. Based upon a game update, Backflip has indicated that level 15-20 dragons can positively affect the chances for "rare" dragons.

Note: The order of the dragons being bred does NOT impact upon the result.

How to BreedEdit

To breed, you will have to tap on the Breeding Cave, Enchanted Breeding Cave, Epic Breeding Island or Epic Breeding Sanctuary, which will glow. Then, tap on "Breed", and you will be taken to a menu with two sides, Dragon one and Dragon two. Dragons will be available for breeding once they are at level 4 or higher. You must select one dragon on either side, with the elements that will affect the result. When you are done choosing your dragons, you have to press the Breed button at the lower center of the menu.

Opposite DragonsEdit

Dragons with opposite elements that cannot be directly bred with each other:

• Earth/Air
• Fire/Cold
• Plant/Metal
• Lightning/Water

Opposite Dragons include:

• Blue Fire
• Frostfire
• Sandstorm
• Dodo
• Plasma
• Current
• Malachite
• Ironwood

All Opposite Dragons must be bred with a primary element dragon and a secondary element hybrid dragon.

Note: Breeding an Opposite Dragon with a primary element dragon will only result in primary element dragons (e.g. Sandstorm + Air will result in Air and Earth dragons).

Breeding ResultsEdit

This is a brief overview of the possible outcomes from breeding. For more detailed information about the dragons please visit the egg, breeding times and dragon reference chart pages.

For more information related to breeding outcomes visit the DragonVale Breeding Sandbox.

NotesEdit

• The Epic Breeding Island and Epic Breeding Sanctuary are not absolutely necessary to successfully breed ANY dragon. It only grants the player a slight increase to the probability of breeding Epic Dragons, opposite dragons, limited dragons and some other dragons. The greatest benefit is allowing the player to breed two sets of dragons at any given time.
• Gemstone Dragons cannot breed with any other dragons, even another of the same type.
• The dragon Kairos cannot be bred; it is obtained by completing the Perch of Kairos.
