Macenstein

Boy oh boy, those pesky DragonVale Quests (both Gaia and Kairos) sure can be frustrating, can’t they? It seems almost random as to what dragons are more likely to give you keys, and sometimes a Quest’s name would SEEM to lead to an obvious choice, only to find 16 hours later you only win a few paltry treats. Well, here’s a list that will hopefully help you out and increase the chances of getting at least 1, and more likely 2 chest keys per quest. If you do not happen to have these dragons, there are likely other combos that can work, and you can guess at them by looking at the colored in symbols on either side of the Quest Name and using a dragon containing those elements.

Thanks to everyone who sent in their solutions over the years – I have not been able to test all of these yet (There’s over 200!) but I am correcting as I go. Please let me know in the comments if you find any other combos!
