Season Portal Upgrade

==Summary==
Season Portal Upgrade is a feature similar to the Event Portal Upgrade, but goes only as high as the level 10. It started its Beta testing phase with Version 7.4.0 (29th of November 2021), and was released game wide in March 2022.
Players must complete series of requests to upgrade their Season Portal. Higher level portal provides increased Seasons rewards, both the Free and the Premium. 
===Complication===
The Premium rewards (available to be earned after purchasing the Royal Pass through a currency exchange) while interesting on their own to collect and chain-complete, changed what players needed elsewhere in the game. If the Royal Pass was overlooked or not completed, certain dragons were not added to the players Dragon Book collection, and such an omission would become relevant and frustrating on discovery later.
Season rewards from the Royal Pass offer certain specialty dragons of Autumn, Forbidden, Maple Moths, Prism, Royal Guardian, and Wild Gryphons in the form of eggs, nests, and dragons (shown in the background of the Season Portal Upgrade splash image above with the exception of Prism having in-Camp ways as well to be obtained), and these specialties, earned only through a Season and the purchased Royal Pass, are dragons you must have to complete Arcadia, a separate and challenging-to-play island level. Have none of these dragons? Arcadia goes uncompleted.
See individual dragon pages for more on How to Gain these dragons if this occurs.
While Seasons are a timed event for the 28-days duration, the Season Portal remains in Camp continuously as a floating island. But if the Season Portal Upgrade is not pursued simultaneously during Season events, the Premium rewards result in lower number of eggs, nests and lower levels of dragons, making the completion of those specialty dragons merge chain feel too little. Hence the race, to upgrade the Season Portal and also complete the requests in the Seasons rewards, and to collect from both the Free and Premium track, all to receive dragons that weren't initially revealed as being critical to completing an island that would be announced later.
==Upgrade Requests==
Kala The Treasure Hunter makes another appearance in the Season Portal (in addition to the Daily Trade and Kala's Shop), and the Upgrade Requests are considered to come as Kala's Special Requests. To complete a request or requests is to raise your Season Portal to the next level and for that, you need to fulfill a Dragon Power requirement and complete a certain number of requests, which increase in difficulty with each level.
Upgrade Requirements
Level 	Dragon Power	Number of Quests	Quest Completed Indicator
1 → 2 	500 	1 	
2 → 3 	1,500 	1 	
3 → 4 	3,000 	3 	
4 → 5 	6,000 	3 	
5 → 6 	12,000 	4 	
6 → 7 	25,000 	8 	
7 → 8 	50,000 	10 	
8 → 9 	85,000 	10 	
9 → 10 (max)	120,000 	15 	
Requests may be completed in Camp, Levels and out-of-Camp Events. You can skip a quest with Dragon Gems to find another one, and these are affordable at around 25-35 gems per request, but skipping won't count towards Upgrade completion, and you won't receive a reward.
You can continue completing requests after the Upgrade Requirements bar is full and claim the rewards, but they will not, without an extra step, count towards the next Portal Upgrade. You must first upgrade your Portal for requests progression on the next Upgrade to begin.
On upgrade you will receive the Portal Level Up reward, which is the Level 1 Ornate Llama from the Ornate Gold Statues chain (and which has not yet been expanded to earn the full chain).
Once portal is maxed, you can keep on finishing requests for rewards, but not more than 3 within 24-hours period for a specific reward, else the 4th will reward a compensatory Level 1 Tiny Fallen Star.
Any earned reward must be claimed first in order to view the next request.

==After Maxed Season Portal Upgrade==
Once the max level for upgrades is obtained, Kala's Special Requests continue to be available with rewards for completing. For those who pursue completed Merge Chains, including ones that seem a bit more involved, gem-only, or infrequent through other play, the reward shown might not be the one desired, but through advancing the requests and completing them, recall there are a total of 3 new possibilities every 24-hours. The current request might give a reward you already have too much of, but with a little luck with the next one, it could be a Bear or Dragon from Mystic Topiaries!A Note on Technique: Only 6 merge chains to date have Mystic Topiaries as a reward, and these are Bushes, Dragon Trees, Life Flowers, Magic Coin Storage, Magic Mushrooms, Stone Storage. By managing your cache of these objects in the game, and studying the types of requests, over time your rate of completing them greatly improves.Users so frequently ask "How can I get this request complete?", and for the Event Portal Upgrade that is especially true as those requests are the most challenging, that Reddit posts abound with suggestions to get it done as fast as possible. Consolidation of tips (see (Tips!) in section headers) on completing requests in the Wiki has only a small start but the majority of the work has been collected and can be seen as what is in the requests rotation.
See below for the requests, organized by 1, 2 or 3, or more per chain as possible to complete.
