Energy

energy is one of the resources you'll need in order to play the game. It's primarily used for tending dragons and defeating monsters, but you'll also need it for tree healing events and summoning moon mice. You may also want to use some energy to speed up dragon flights, complete brewery items, and donate to the Ancestor Grove.

## How Do I Get Energy?

There are a few sources of energy.

* Every 12 hours, 3 energy will appear to be collected at each site on your island you have unlocked. At level one, you will collect energy from the brewery, shop, market, event site, dragon cave, and aqua garden. As you unlock more gardens, you'll receive energy from them also. The maximum number of energy collection sites is 12, including all 7 gardens. If more gardens are added, these will likely also provide energy. Note that you will not be able to interact with locations on your island until you have harvested the energy from them—unless you have a premium account and can skip clicking on locations in the main island view. Icons indicating empty fields and harvestable plants will not be visible when you can harvest energy (this is to make the island view more calm).

* Energy naturally accumulates over time at a rate of 1 energy every 8 minutes. It goes into your energy bar. Your energy bar starts with a natural limit of 31. If you have more than 31 energy, it will not accumulate naturally. As you level up, your energy bar will increase up to 53. After 53, you'll need to use bonuses, such as those available in the ancestor grove, to increase your max energy accumulation.
* You can gain energy from questers (the dragon and the lion). They will offer you a moderate sum to begin with in exchange for plants, brewery items, and sometimes fruits. As your level increases, and as you complete tree healing events, questers will reward you with more energy, up to 40 per quester per day. This can be increased additionally by special bonuses, such as those available in the ancestor grove or from seasonal events.
* Pet cuddle every day to earn energy. Each day that you login and remember to pet him, you'll receive more energy than the day before, up to seven days. If you reach seven consecutive days or if you miss a day, it'll reset and you'll start again at day one. Cuddle also gives you water lilies for coming consistently.
* Rewards: league classifications will give you some energy once per week, the amount depending on how high you ranked in your league. Improve your ranking by gaining experience through growing plants and brewing magical items.
* You can always buy an energy package with water lilies in a pinch. Whenever you try to complete a task but don't have enough energy, the game will send you a popup that offers exactly the right amount of energy to complete the task in exchange for water lilies. At lower amounts, this is a 1:1 exchange (one energy for one water lily), but as the amount goes up, the ratio improves until it reaches the ratio indicated in the packages.

## What If I Have Too Much Energy?

Even if your energy bar is full, you can still get more energy by harvesting lightning bolts around your island, completing quests, or receiving prizes. It just won't accumulate naturally every 8 minutes. Other than that, there's no penalty for having a lot of energy.

When you reach level 12, you will unlock an energy chest. This box can hold up to 200 energy in savings so that your energy will once again naturally accumulate. You can also purchase an increase to your energy chest, and increased energy chest is one of the features that comes along with a gold subscription. Be mindful of the expiration date! If you lose your expanded energy chest subscription, the capacity will go back down to 200 and you'll lose any amount of energy over that number

Until you reach level 12, it is recommended you use your energy as usual to complete tutorials and quests. It's OK for it to pile up a bit.

Use the red and purple arrows to put energy into the savings chest or take it back out when neededIf 200 energy savings is not enough, you can purchase an expansion with water lilies which will increase your chest's capacity to 800 energyUnlock the energy chest at level 12If you don't want to move all the energy into or out of your chest, type the amount you want in the box below and then press the corresponding arrow to move itWhenever you have extra energy, you might find it handy to get to work on defeating one of the monster guardians at a garden you haven't unlocked yet. Sometimes throwing level one potions at one of these tough monsters can feel pointless, but it isn't a total waste in the long run, as lower level potions don't cost dragon plants. You might also consider luring a few more moon mice. Each time you lure mice, the amount of mice you receive goes down until you are only luring 10 at a time. This again can feel pointless, but it can add up over time.

## What If I Don't Have Enough Energy?

Sometimes you go on a monster-defeating spree or decide you absolutely have to have all your brewery items NOW. This sometimes results in zero energy, which can be a problem if you want to pet your dragons later. Additionally, participating in a tree healing event has the potential to completely deplete your energy since each level of healing requires more and more energy. In this case, it pays to wait. Your energy will come back eventually. To prevent this from happening in the future, try these strategies:

* Keep track of events that are likely to require energy, tree healing events being the most notorious. Save up energy in the days leading up to the event.
* Don't immediately satisfy questers and Cuddle when you login. Your energy bar usually fills completely overnight, so adding more energy first thing in the morning means you won't be gaining energy naturally unless you spend the accumulated energy immediately. Instead, focus on tending dragons or doing other essential energy-demanding tasks using your natural energy and only satisfy questers when you run out of energy or shortly before you log off.
* Try to keep your energy chest filled whenever possible. Don't avoid important tasks to do this, but take the time to make sure you won't be missing that energy in the future if you decide to go ahead with a less time-sensitive task (such as speeding brewery items or defeating a monster).
* Always completely empty your natural energy before logging off so that it will accumulate naturally while you are gone. Energy accumulates at a rate of 1 energy every 8 minutes, or 7.5 energy per hour. If you are away for more than 5 hours, chances are very good that your energy bar will be completely full when you return.
