The market section is the central hub of control for DragonVale. It is the place where dragons, habitats, decorations, buildings, and islands are purchased. Treasure from the App Store, Google Play, or Amazon Appstore via In-App Purchases can be bought for real currency.
Treasure
- In the Treasure section of the market, gems, dragoncash, and treats can be purchased for real currency. This and the rift market are the only sections in the game where real currency can be spent and there is a confirmation screen before a purchase is made. In case you have entered your password anywhere when playing the game, make sure the "In-App Purchases" slider is set to "OFF" in the settings on your device.
Dragons
- In the Dragons section of the market, all of the available dragons can be purchased using either dragoncash for the primary dragons, or gems to buy hybrid dragons. The exceptions are Kairos, the dragons rewarded in events and, previously, the Air Dragon, which could be bought for 500 gems.
Habitats
- In the Habitats section of the market all habitats can be bought with dragoncash or gems, provided that the player's level is high enough to purchase them. The amount of habitats a player is allowed to have in the game at one time also increases with the player's level.
Decorations
- In the Decorations section of the market, decorations that attract more visitors to the park can be bought. Decorations do not increase the chance of breeding any dragon, although many of the descriptions contain hints that they "attract dragons" and other mysterious things.
Buildings
- In the Buildings section of the market, buildings such as treat farms, boosts, shrines, the Colosseum, and the Breeding Cave can be purchased. There are level requirements for the Large Treat Farm, Huge Treat Farm, Grand Treat Farm, boosts, shrines, Colosseum, Dragon Track, Storage Tower, Fountain of Youth, and other buildings.
Islands
- In the Islands section of the market, the first island is bought and checked off with a green √. The second island will not become available for purchase until Level 10 and the third island once Level 15 is reached. The later islands come with larger obstacles than the starting island.
