GuideToEnergy

Energy is the most precious currency in the game. It is necessary to remove obstacles, depending on their size, and to explore every island.

There are many ways to gain energy:

* Logging in with Facebook can get 100 extra energy points the first time;
* Waiting for 90 seconds to recover 1 energy (40 energy in 1 hour);
* Leveling up recovers energy up to your limit and increases it by 1;
* Daily rewards: they vary but at least thrice a week you can grab some extra energy if you access every day;
* Some of the quests on every island give energy as reward;
* Energy Exchangers using chocolate or fruit in the home island or pots in the other islands;
* Get energy over time with rewarded decorations from events themed islands, like the Tea Maker and BBQ Grill, and from event islands
* Pet Dragon Slots and Pet Dragon Gifts in the home island;
* Removing some obstacles and picking up treasures, chests and bags in the islands;
* Gathering resources and finding candies;
* Tapping on some decorations during the exploration of the islands or on the buildings after building them;
* Clearing fruit trees by fully depleting them gives chocolate to exchange for energy when they become gold;
* Fulfilling 10 orders on the order board or special orders on the order board;
* Completing rows of boxes at the helicopter;
* Completing collections;
* Watch ads on the package offers panel or by tapping pop up balloons, backpacks and drones;
* Purchase energy in exchange for gems, but is not recommended because gems are useful for other things (if you want to do it, aim for 190 gems > 1000 energies, which is the most convenient trade);
* System messages in the Inbox (gear icon in the upper right part of the display): sometimes the game sends free gifts;
* Gift Codes: at least once a week the game developers give a code with free gifts (originally posted on Facebook);
* After joining a club, you can send a package of 10 energy once a day and you can receive them from other club members;
* Selecting energy or candies and collecting them in the Future Rewards Ship.

Ads and pop up balloons appear from time to time when accessing the game or changing island: they give you some candy, gold or petals. They also appear after completing a quest, so try to gather them before it and then new ones will appear.

## Candies

Candies give some bonus energy as chocolate and fruits, but they don't need to be converted via carts. The three of them can be obtained as a rewards in some situations:

* Clearing trees, rocks, iron deposits and other resources
* Collecting dragon gifts
* Completing special orders from the order board
* Completing three sets of boxes of the helicopter orders
* Completing collections
* Opening chests, bags and treasures

There are 5 kinds of candies, that immediately give energy:

 Lollipop Candy
 Liquorice Candy
 Fudge Candy
 Caramel Candy

## Energy limit

There is an energy limit depending on your level, every time you level up all energy is recovered and the limit increases by one starting from 49 at level 1. The rate to recover energy is always the same: 1 minute and 30 seconds. When the energy limit is reached, the only way to surpass it is gaining energy with one of the methods above.

Energy limit can be temporarily increased by 10 units as a prize to be bought with real money in the Dragon Pass minigame. The increase disappears at the end of the minigame.

Here are some tips for you reproduced with grateful thanks from *Chase Apollo* at the Facebook group Dragonscapes Adventure Friends.

### Gaining energy

Fulfill board orders when they count toward the 10 mark for bonus energy, which recharges after a 4 hour cool down. Unless in need of gold immediately, this will assure that your resources and energy/gold spent on them is receiving the best return from using the board.

A second source of bonus energy is making sure to use the Pet Dragon Slots throughout the day. It takes 15 minutes to get a new free spin and 5 hours for all 20 free spin slots to be filled. It can be useful to save spins to help complete mini-game tasks that require a lot of energy to get them done a bit faster.

A third source of bonus energy is tapping on some decorations found throughout the islands, such as lampposts and benches. This is true for both event islands and normal islands, so it never hurts to check. On event islands, this can also be true for decorations you build. Sometimes event islands and minigames award decorations that give 15-20 energy for a limited number of times.

Flower Island, Picnic Island, and Fishing Island (they follow one after the other) should be priorities to complete as soon as possible. They reward decorations for your home island that give energy over time, so the sooner you get them the more energy you are technically collecting. They are timed islands with 7 days to complete, so unlock them only when you feel confident in having the time and resource preparation. If needed, search for guides and information on them before starting: there are many here in the Wiki along with complete walkthroughs of the islands.

### Using energy

Unnecessarily clearing grass and flowers can consume energy quickly and slow progress. Clearing it should generally be done for quests, exploration, uncovering items, or using energy that would otherwise go to waste. The laboratory should also be considered to use energy that would otherwise go to waste, if you have gold to spare too.

Saving some chocolates, berries, and cooking pot ingredients for when a timed island or event island is active is very helpful. It can also be good to save these bonus energy givers for other events to help achieve goals faster. Keep in mind that pots generally require less ingredients on story islands (Water, Wind, Earth, etc.) compared to the one on your home island or ones on event islands.

Sometimes accessing certain areas of a map can be a bit of a puzzle. To optimize your energy use, take your time planning out your route. For example, clearing large groups of grass in front of some apple trees may not have been necessary when removing a single large stone beside the trees makes them accessible too.

Bombs are a condensed form of energy that deal the equivalent of 150 energy to surrounding objects. Make sure to use them wisely: remember it is not how much they hit as it is the importance of what they hit. Some preset ones that cost gems to activate can deal more damage to surrounding objects, but are of personal opinion whether they are worth it or not.
