The latest update is out of this world! I like the new loading wallpaper it’s really amazing! Cannot wait to get a rift dragon?!!
It says “can you get all the dark dragons” on dragonvale but if you summon the dark dragons will you get them all?
Got it 3 days ago and HATE IT! Used almost all my money and treats and I had a lot. Game is no more fun for me. And those hybrid dragons are major rip off!
Why would it waste your coins
Is there a level requirement???
Hi Icey Wolf,
I haven’t seen a level requirement because friends I trade gems with are at all levels and the new magic island comes automatically with this update in which a player can already start to contribute magic to a light or dark dragon…or both.
You have to update Dragonvale.
How do you update dragonvale?
Go to you device’s app store, go to dragonvale, and hit update (password may be needed)
Will the game allow us to get both light and dark, or do you only get whichever one you choose?
I like the concept and all, but it would be a serious let down if you don’t get to have both. I wouldn’t still be playing Dragonvale after all this time if I didn’t have a “Gotta catch ’em all” attitude about it.
From what I understand, you can only get one or the other not both be cause it says that whichever magic you bring back first will influence the egg.
I think this means that is the dragon you get first. I can’t see the allowing us to contribute magic points to both dragons at the same time but only rewarding an egg for one. Hope that is the case. I guess we’ll have to wait until someone does it. Lol
No it isn’t when you upgrade a light vestige you get rewarded with another rift egg
Hi guys,
Ive hope this info help… I already got an egg on light and still adding magic (light) and upgrade my habitat, then i got the second egg on light but ull need to add 7000+ … Then i started adding on dark and viola i got an egg on dark…. Im juz wondering if when will it hatch so i may see if there different coz the egg juz look the same.
And please add me my gamecenter is Flamemaster23 if u wanna see wat im talking about… I also do gem for gem…
Hi Dyeyar’s,
I just now finished adding magic to the next level of light and earlier I finally finished first level of dark. The dark habitat added an egg and then reset the magic bar. The light habitat got larger and it said it now holds 3 light dragons. I only have one light egg and one dark but I think that is what this is all about…IE: keep adding magic. Whichever one was filled first will eventually be hatched first. Whatever size the habitat has been built up to is how many dragons it will hold. I think the catch is that ” now” we can use magic to do these things whereas after they finally allow the first dragon to be hatched they will probably change it to buying with gems.
BTW I’ve been loading up on magic by buying the cheap bush over and over again. Augh it’s tedious but it never stops giving magic. Also you will see how much time is left before the magic replenishes in the park in the Tines of the Rift. That is the large vortex in the top middle of the new magic island. Click on it then hit the ? Mark and the hour glass will show how much time us left. Then visit all freinds parks, and play the races. You’ll get magic fast this way. Hope that helps anyone out there who may be getting frustrated.
Hi NeedPrivacy (is that your gc account?)
Thanks.. I also found a way to gather magic REAL FAST, but ill cost much food/gem.. If you have a low level dragon youll have to feed it til level 20… The first time i did that i got 700+ magic, 500, 450 way down to 200… I kept doing it till they stop giving of magic… But its just me… Its not practical of course coz ull have to spend tons of gems / food… Please add me Flamemaster23 is my gc… I love to see your park, you can check mine as well…
Hi Dyeyar,
Yes NeedPrivacy is my GC account name. Feel free to send me a request if you want to visit my park. Just know my gem tree is full of friends to gift with already so I won’t be able to give you gems. But you will be able to still collect money from party hats and earn magic points by visiting so why not? lol I’d love to see your park too. It’s fun to get good ideas and see how creative everyone else gets.
Hi NeedPrivacy
Thanks for accepting… Beautiful park youve got there… I saw a link on the light dragon page from OHM, it pretty much explain the latest change in dragonvale… Ive already got my 2nd egg on dark and filling up my 9999 magic bar on light…. Dont know what next after that…
Hi, Dyeyar
Glad you liked my park! I accepted your request but still haven’t been able to visit your park? Great job on adding more eggs. I finally got two light eggs and one dark. Trying to finish second dark egg but maxed out on magic until it replenishes. I noticed they added another bar on both sides today on the Tines of the Scar. Now I think this means this is how many upgrades and eggs the Draginvale community has collected as a whole. How far up the Tines they will go in adding these bars remains to be seen. But since the upgraded light/ dark habitats only hold 3 eggs I think this is finally it!
Hi needprivacy,
Yup, i notice it too… From what i read on that link isaw, you can hold up more than three dragon after you fill up the 9999 magic bar and that habitat would be more unique than the one they will sell on the market when the hatchings start. And this unique habitat wont count on ur max habitat.. You should check on that link, its on the light dragon page…. Oh and btw,we can send a message thru the challenge on gc…
Hi Dyeyar,
Good to know! I’m still working on finally filling up the 9999 point level augh.
Hey I finally saw your park too! Wow, awesome park! Saw you have two light and two dark eggs. Omg…lot of work. Lol I’ve done good to get two light and one dark. Then quit dark to try to finish the 9999 level for light. Do you know what comes next yet?
That will be a bummer for new players of this game if they can never get the upgraded habitat after this community event is over. I figured it would be so something like this or a crazy high demand for gems or money for anyone who missed getting more eggs or larger habitats. Thanks for the tips. How do I message in GC? Lol
Hi NeedPrivacy
Thanks for the visit in my park, glad you liked it… I finished filling up the 9999 bar and got an upgrade on the habitat that can hold 5 dragons…now i need ANOTHER 14000 to get the third egg…. Errrr.. But im filling up my 9999 on dark now…how much magic can you gather in a day? Coz i think i can only give 3000+….
You just need to send me a challenge in gc and you can put a message with it… I run out of idea on what to put in my last island, but i reserving it for those incoming dragons…lol..
Lol. Anyways. What dragon r u gonna choose
You can choose any one of them you want I choose to but all my magic on the dark side but you can choose the light side if you want or but the same amount of magic on both
I currently don’t have this update. How do I update DragonVale on my Kindle Fire HD? Have never had to worry about this before as it has been updating automatically until about a month ago.
go to the app store and click menu. there should be an update apps opption
Don’t know if you already got your answer but updated my son’s yesterday. You go into the store and click on the dragonvale app like you were going to “purchase” it again and when it comes up it has a update button.
Yes I did and thanks!
I got the update the other day. Thanks everyone for your help!
It looks really cool when you update dragon vale, it looks über epic! I cannot wait to get my first rift dragon!( whatever they are!)
Missing 99 magic i am getting no more magic .any one else got that problem
Hi Monique,
It pays high magic at first then goes way down for the same action. Each day it replenishes.
It may be one of 2 things: You have to “spend” the magic on one of the eggs then you can get more magic OR for some of the actions you only get so much magic.
It seems I only get magic for growing Sarjin peppers 2x from each Huge Treat farm then I change to Omega Squash; also same things with Large Plant habitat, it seems like only get magic once for collecting from that habitat. Also the large rainbow habitats have to be totally full not just showing that they are ready for coin collection to get magic from them.
ANYONE Have PHOTOS OF THE LIGHT OR DARK RIFT DRAGONS YET??
Hay doc it would be nice if you can answer my question my question. Is it possible to get the both the light and the Dark dragon Thx Plx reply
Hi Cyprus,
I’m just guessing to answer your question because I haven’t filled up the magic for a light or dark dragon yet. I assume we can get both or else they wouldn’t allow us to fill them up simultaneously. I also assume they have a whole string of new dragons based on the primary light and dark ones. Someone already posted a breeding key in the comments section of the apple app for Dragonvale to show how to breed many new light and dark dragons…but they are all based on a dragon called Zeus? Hope that helps!
Add me to do gem for gem, I have 2 accounts and 2 trees. Lazzar777 & Dryballs9000
Sure, and if anyone wants to add me my user is SammiRae422. I’m especially interested in friending you to see your park if anyone’s gotten far in upgrading their rift habitats or any cool dragon.
Add me for daily gem swap Xangel79 on Gamecentre Level 45 and need 5 new traders. Have been playing since the very beginning btw love this site and the Doc 🙂
May I add you too (going to add you, delete me if creeps you out)? I lost my gem nbr to android which doesn’t have Game Center, I have been playing since very beginning too. I love the background music, so soothing, this game is by far the best dragon game & this is the best website for it!!
I used to have 2 but some problem with update when the GC associated with apple ID (mine were different) I can’t update the device and had to abandon my original game.
Have tried to add Dr. Mac as nbr but he’s full; if Dr. Mac had an app I would add that too!
I had the same problem too, my original accnt juz stopped (internal error) so i started a new accnt, but i tried opening it again now on other device and it worked… But i missed a lot of dragons…
Add me steve.b12
Add me steve.b12 i will trade gems
To update the game on your kindle fire go to your Amazon store (click games at the top and go to store), click the “list/menu” button on the bottom of your screen and it will give you chance to select the update apps option. Then when it shows your list of games that can be updated just click on dragonvale to download update.
Thanks a lot!!!!!! Appreciate it!
Your welcome =) Took me a couple months with it to find that and remember the way to do it. It’s good to check every now and then since some things don’t automatically update.
Good luck!
Has anyone seen what they look like yet?
Also add me, gotta tree and 5 daily slots, only one is filled.
Add me I’m called tyxen on gamecenter
I know what a dark dragon looks like but it’s secret 🙂 😮
Oh, come on. Tell us! Tell us!
This is totally random, but just say I bred a bone and a bone dragon, shouldn’t I get a bone, I got an obsidian 🙁 has it always been like that or just the new update?
This is a change they gave no notice for and it’s one many people are already upset about. Yes if you breed the same two dragons you should get that exact dragon. This update changedit. Sigh. I bred two treasure dragons and I have a mere 16 hour breeding time. To me this really blows the whole game because if you have no idea what you’re getting and breeding times take a whole day that sucks. Lol
Same here… It makes the game less playable… Im making a rainbow dragon island but when i bred 2 rainbow a bone dragon appeared…. That sucks….. Flamemaster23 is my gc… Please add me… Thanks
Flamemaster23–I’ll add you in GC if you add me back. I play (almost) daily and my former gem buddies are not. Please add me: sparky02138
Dude its says in gc that i have to verify your name…. Maybe you could send me a request and ill juz accept it… Thanx
I did it but I am getting normal dragons… Really sucks
Anyone that would like to trade gems, add me on Game Center. My name is lfedigan. Thanks!
Hey everyone! All my slots are full for friends and gem trading. Thanks so much!
Doc can you accept my request if you did I would be 🙂
in answer to many of your questions if you fill both light and dark you will get both. It is determined by the collectve of DV players as to which 1 will be released first.
Also for those of you that play another game called Monsterama park have a look at the statistics given in how to breed section to find out how these new breeding statistics might work for Dv.
I WANT BOTH LIGHT AND DARK DRAGONS… Is that possible?
yes
How many stages do each rift have, I filled the dark with the 3199 magic now it’s above 5000 needed
Hooray, a reward tier system. Hopefully I’ll be able to get lots of rewards without actually spending money ahaha.
On another notice, I have 5 gem-for-gem slots open if anyone’s interested.
Oh, and my Game Center name is ~Tobiume, wahaha oops.
Add me on gc ~okazeilz
Has anyone noticed the things on the tines of the scar? I’m assuming the the gold ones on the left side symbolize light magic and the dark blue/purple one on the right side symbolizes dark magic but why is there 2 gold and only one blue/purple and what are they for? Do they symbolize what everybody is voting for to come first? I’m only asking because I noticed the other day there was 1 of each color and when the update first came out they weren’t on the tines at all.
Hi Goddess,
I noticed this too. I think it means more people are going for the light dragon first.
Ok. I kinda figured but wasn’t sure.
I noticed that too! at first i thought more would be added to each side as you fill up the bar, but a couple days ago another dark one was added, and i never filled up my dark bar. maybe more will be added over time, and we’ll get our rewards when they completely fill up both tines?
I’m starting to think that whichever one reaches the gap at the top of the scar first will be the first magic released.
Goddess, that’s what it is. It’s a sort of tally to show which dragons the community is supporting more. Right now, the light is ahead but I’ve been putting all my magic into dark :/
So I got a dialogue box saying I’d gotten a dark dragon rift egg but I see no egg? My nursery was full at the time– where’s the egg?
It is already in your dark habitat. You automatically get one with the egg.
Saw it just after I posted. Thanks!
I’ve filled the dark one but have no egg where does it go?? And how do i get it??
I just had the same thing happen to me. Hopefully all that magic wasn’t wasted. I think the blocks or the right and left of the tine symbolizes what level u r on each. Not sure lol
Hello, i play on kindle so friend request me on facebook im Randy Cunningham and have mario as my profile pic. It may take quite a few pages to see me since the new disney XD show came out
hi randy add me on fb deepak padmanabhan…
I feel a little trolled. The bar resets 2 times after filling it up. In the beginning u need 3200 magic, then 5600 and now I need 7200 magic. It says I have a habitat and I have an egg, but theres no dragon at all. I cant hatch it yet. It is kind of money fishing in my opinion but I never spent real money in dragonvale and got nearly all dragons so far except 5 or so, so Im not gonna start with it. I hope that after I fill up those 7200 magic I finally get my damn Light Dragon. Racing, Gifting Friends and clearing Boulders are giving most magic, for those who dont know btw. Add me on gamecenter: D??Nis
Hi so I just filled up the dark remnant thing with the 3199 magic, and it says I now have a dark dragon egg. I see it in the habitat. But I don’t have the dragon!! Does it take time to hatch or do you have to cast more magic on it? Please help, I really want a dark dragon!!
From my understanding, the egg won’t hatch until that specific magic has been released. How exactly that works I’m not completely sure but here is my theory. I don’t know if you’ve noticed the gold and blue/purple tiles on the tines of the scar but my theory is that whichever of those reaches the top first will be the first magic released. So, as a result YES you have to keep casting magic on it. In my opinion, you might as well get as may as you can of both the light and the dark dragon.
Thanks for replying, GoddessOfDestruction! Yeah, I was pretty sure I would have to cast more magic on it. I hope that DragonVale gives us some more info on how to get the dragons soon! I might just email them…they better reply if I do! 😉 Hope you have luck getting your light/dark dragons!

I found this link on the light dragon page it should answer a lot of your questions.

Thanks for the link. It helped me a little 🙂 . You can add me in Game Center for hem exchange Sangriah73
Hope that helps. 🙂
Has anyone noticed that breeding the same dragons since magic appeared gives you unexpected results, like platinum & platinum will give you an air dragon, magnetic & magnetic will give you a copper? Haven’t tried yet with zombie & zombie, as I was lucky enough to get 3 zombie dragons one after the other. I usually get 2 dragons plus an egg display.
Yes I did notice that. It came with the new update. It’s very frustrating for us egg collectors because then we can’t be guaranteed what we were looking for like we used to. I’ve found the change very frustrating.
I hate it and I wonder how many people will consider this an unfair change of the rules and drop out. I know one person who has already done so.
I filled up my light magic bar and it said I got an egg but I can’t find it anywhere how do I get it?
It’s in your habitat. Don’t worry!
From my observations I’m guessing that the first dragon released will depend on what element people go for first. If we decide that light will be released first, your egg will probably hatch and you will have a light dragon. At least that’s my theory.
Hope that helps!
What happen after you fill up the 9999 magic bar?
I have two slots to trade gems 🙂 please add me game name is: ebhski
Dyeyar it will xpand the habitat again to hold another egg not just 3
Thanks dude…
I got a hunch the magic and finally the light/dark dragons will finally be released on Halloween. It looks like we may just continue getting more magic bars/ bigger habitats/ more eggs until then. Then all heck will be released on All Hallows’ Eve. Just a feeling I got, time will tell, anyone wanna take that bet 😉 ?
That’s a good theory, I never thought about that. Though I hope it’s not true cuz I’d like to get more eggs first but I’m betting your probably right.
Here is that link NeedPrivacy was talking about
https://support.backflipstudios.com/entries/22724445-DragonVale-2-0-What-you-need-to-know-
Thanks so much
Hey! I just finished getting a rift egg for the dark dragon but it needs 5600 more magic to hatch. So I’m just going to get a light dragon rift egg. :p
Confused…I got the upgraded light habitat and it shows I needed 7200 magic to get the second egg. Finally finished getting the 7200 (even added 100 more magic) but did not receive the second light egg… Has something changed? I saw a post saying that 8800 is now required for the second egg. Is that confirmed or not? Thanks
Does anyone know if the 3 eggs in the giant habitat give the same 3 dragons of a kind /light or dark/ or there are going to be 3 different light dragons
That is a good question…. Please let us know if you found out…lol
I want to know if any new reedem codes came out on the 2.0 update. And when is dragonvale anniversary.
Anybody find out the reason why Panlong dragon income was reduced nearly a half ?.?
Hi Zodiac,
I would like to know why the panlong income has been cut in half too! Good grief, is this another ” surprise” compliments of Hasbro since they took controlling interest of Backflips Studio? Augh Guess we can add this to the list of changes along with the same dragons that no longer produce the same offspring. …in a dragon ” breeding” game. Lol
Add me on Game Center! I have a dragonsai tree 🙂 my id is cindaest
Add me please – aims993
I’m annoyed at how long it’s taking, I keep upgrading my dark habitat and hoping it means I get a rift dragon, has it even come out yet?
Just got dark habitat upgrade #3
Dude loooks like we have to wait more coz according to the tine, more people are turning on light…. And yes, its REALLY annoying… But all we can do is wait….
No it hasn’t come out but I hope it comes out soon cuz my patients is wearing thin.

Anyone got the dark or light Dragon yet?
Hi doc,
Just thinking, are we going to get 3 different kind of dark dragon or 3 of the same?
Hi Dyeyar
I think that they will all look the same. If you go to the help menu and look at the Make Your Mark on the Rift Dragon section there is a picture of what I’m assuming is the dark and light dragon. And since there is only one picture of each dragon I believe that the light eggs will all hatch to look the same and the same thing with the dark eggs.
Anyone got a dark or light dragon yet?
Would someone friend me. I have been playing this game for over one year and am at level 50 and have all the dragons, eggs and habitats. Or tell me how to do it without having you on my facebook page. Thank you.
EVERYBODY GO DARK SIDE !!!!!!!!! IF YOU DO GEM FOR GEM ME I HAVE THREE SPACES OPEN!!!!!
