So it appears more than a few of you are looking for tips on breeding various Dragons in DragonVale
(Free/Universal). If you’re not familiar with the game, you can read our review here, but suffice it to say it’s one of those “time burglars” where you raise and cross-breed various dragon-types to create the ultimate Magical Dragon zoo. Ultimately pointless, yet addicting. Unfortunately, some dragons can be hard to get, and though you may TRY to breed a combinations that looks like they should get you a hard-to-get Rainbow or Moon Dragon or such, sometimes it just doesn’t happen. So we decided to put out a list of what we have found to work for each Dragon Type. I currently have a couple of every dragon (my Game Center ID is “Dr Macenstein” if you’d like to check out my dragons) and while many of them can be gotten with different combos, I will tell you only what breeding combinations actually DID work for me. I will warn you that occasionally even the right combination may take up 20 times or even more, but I promise you, these combinations WILL work. Eventually. Also note a couple of these dragons are “seasonal”, and may not be available at the moment no matter what dragons you breed. Finally, I suggest for most hybrids you purchase the Breeding Island (located under “ISLANDS” in the market) as it can increase your odds when attempting to breed a particularly hard to get hybrid. That being said I think I have also bred most of these with the regular breeding cave as well. ALSO, please note: For pretty much every dragon I have found that the order does NOT matter, despite what people say. For instance I got a Plasma with Lightning and Seaweed, and my wife got it with Seaweed and Lightning. So feel free to mix up the order of my suggestions if you’d like. Again, I’m just telling you what worked for me. Also, if you breed two dragons and want to know what the result will be before they hatch, check out this handy “List of DragonVale dragon incubation and Breeding Times” I threw together. And if you’re looking for “Suggestions for winning DragonVale Races”, click here.
First up we have the “Elemental Dragons”. These cannot be bred – you have to shell out coins for these – so start saving. On the plus side, these dragons make up the building blocks for all other dragons, so once you have them, you can get the rest (well, ALMOST all the rest).

Gem trading!!!!! My Game Center user name is Janae699
Any advice on earning experience points?
I really racked up the xp on the Kairos dragon, but now that I have him it’s really dragging. I have all available dragons, so I get points for breeding. I continuiously grow food. I don’t like the races that much, may be that’s we’re I’m falling short…
Try feeding your dragon till lvl 20… It gives big xp..but you need at least 8million food/dragon…
Thanks dyeyar, I think I’ll wait to try this. I need my food to grow all of these new dragons! And, I have to balance spending 8m food with the appropriate dragon and habitat. The habitats that allow the highest accumulation of $ don’t allow dragons above level 10. Maybe it’s own habitat, except I’m maxed out on habitats … Gives me something to think about….
I need two friends to trade gem for gem! I am an active daily user and looking for the same in return!!! My game center I’d is: Angel729!!!! Only serious ppl who are willing to trade!!
