## DragonVale and DragonVale World FAQ

DragonVale World is coming soon and we want to address any questions you might have about both games in the DragonVale family. As always, you can email our support team at support@backflipstudios.com for more information.

### DragonVale

**Now that DragonVale World has launched will the original DragonVale game keep going?**

Yes! DragonVale and DragonVale World are two independent experiences that do not overlap with each other. We love DragonVale and will continue to support it.

**So DragonVale isn’t going away?**

Nope! The game will continue to receive the regular updates players have always enjoyed including the introduction of exciting new dragons, updated challenges, and seasonal activities.

If you haven't already, please like and follow us on Facebook to stay up to date with all that's happening in DragonVale: fb.com/dragonvale

**For how long?**

DragonVale will continue to receive the exact same support and updates that it received for its first 5 years.

**Will I lose my dragons, Gems, etc., if I start playing DragonVale World?**

No, you will not lose your dragons, gems, or progress within DragonVale if you decide to also play DragonVale World. The two games will exist side by side and you can play them both if you like!

**Will I be able to transfer my Gems, progress or dragons from DragonVale to DragonVale World?**

While DragonVale World is inspired by the original DragonVale, it will operate as a separate gaming experience. Players can enjoy both DragonVale and DragonVale World side-by-side, but they won’t be able to transfer parks, Gems, or dragons from one game to another.

### DragonVale World

**When will DragonVale World be available?**

DragonVale World has launched and you can download it now from your app store! Please like and follow the DragonVale World Facebook page for all the latest DragonVale World news: fb.com/DragonValeWorld

**What’s new or different in DragonVale World?**

DragonVale World offers many of the gameplay elements players love about the original DragonVale now with amazing 3D graphics, new dragons, enhanced exploration, more customization, strong community elements, and fun new characters.

**How is the setting different for DragonVale World?**

In DragonVale, magic folk and their dragons live on islands in the sky (AKA the Vale). DragonVale World takes place 1,000 years in the future of DragonVale. The Cataclysm magic corrupting the land below the Vale has dissipated and so magic folk have returned to the land below (AKA the Surface) to discover amazing new dragons and locations thought to have been lost in The Cataclysm. Many of the themes of DragonVale World wrap around exploring and restoring this previously lost land, along with discovering wild new dragons.

**Does DragonVale World have new dragons?**

DragonVale World will delight collectors with 5 familiar faces and tons of all-new dragons. Each dragon even has a mysterious Enchanted version that only appears in the Dragonarium once collected.

**Will there be seasonal updates to the game like the original DragonVale?**

There will! DragonVale World will include regular updates to the environment and gameplay experience, including seasonal fun for the summertime, winter holidays, and much more.

**What platforms will the game be available on?**

DragonVale World will be available on Google Play and Apple iOS devices.

**Is the game free to play?**

DragonVale World is free to play, but does include optional in-app purchases.

**Will players who purchase Gems, additional time, or special items within the game experience a different and better game?**

Each player will experience the same storyline and have access to the same items within DragonVale World. Making in-game purchases may help speed up a player’s progress.

**What types of in-game purchases will DragonVale World include?**

In-game purchases will be similar to the original DragonVale, including purchasable Gems for dragons, special decorations, and more.

**Can I play DragonVale World offline?**

The social interactions and community within the game are an integral part of the DragonVale World experience, which means that an internet connection is required for players to participate.

## Adding Friends to DragonVale World

DragonVale World is more fun with friends! Adding friends to DragonVale World will allow you to give and receive free Gems each day, purchase and sell items in the Trading Post, and more!

### How to Add Friends

Adding friends to DragonVale World is done using Facebook. If your park is already connected to Facebook, you can add other DragonVale World players as Facebook friends and they will appear in your friends list in the game. Please note that you will only see Facebook friends that have DragonVale World installed and have also connected their parks to Facebook.

If your park is not yet connected to Facebook, you can connect it by following these steps:

1. Open DragonVale World and tap the Options icon in the upper right of the screen
2. Swipe to the right and tap the Facebook login button
3. Enter the email address and password associated with your Facebook account, then tap continue

Once your park is connected to Facebook, you can tap the “Friends” icon on the left of your screen to view a list of your Facebook friends who have also connected their DragonVale World parks to Facebook. You can then send them free Gems each day, chat using the built-in messaging system, and visit their parks

## DragonVale World General FAQ

### Dragons

**What level do my dragons need to be to breed?**

Dragons must be at least level 4 to breed, but higher level dragons mean better chances to hatch rare and epic dragons!

**How do I know which dragons to breed?**

Not sure which dragons to breed? View your current goals or visit the Dragonarium to see which dragons you haven't collected yet. Tapping on a dragon in the Dragonarium will give you a breeding tip to help you breed that dragon.

**I leveled up my dragon but it still looks like a baby. Do the dragons ever become adults?**

Each dragon will change at levels 4 and 9, and will reach their full adult form at level 15.

**What is the highest level a dragon can reach?**

The maximum level for a dragon in DragonVale World is 20.

**How do I sell or move a dragon I've already placed into a habitat?**

You can move or sell any dragon by locating it in your park, then tapping its info card in the lower left of the feeding screen. From there you can move, sell, rename your dragon and more!

**How do I hatch my egg pedestal?**

Egg pedestals are for decoration only and cannot be hatched.

**I only have a few dragons in my Market. How can I buy other dragons?**

In addition to the daily dragon deals in the Market, dragons can also be purchased directly from the Dragonarium. Tap the “Dragons” icon on the left of your screen to access the Dragonarium at any time.

**How do I remove my dragon from the Hibernation Cave?**

When you would like to move a dragon out of hibernation and into a habitat, you can do so using the instructions below:

1. Tap the Hibernation Cave
2. Tap the "View Dragons" icon
3. Tap the dragon you wish to remove
4. Tap the blue move button
5. Select the habitat you would like to place the dragon in

**What do the stars above a dragon’s head mean?**

Each dragon in DragonVale World has a star level which indicates its rarity. The more stars a dragon has, the more rare it is.

**Why can’t I see enchanted dragons in the Dragonarium?**

The enchanted dragons are quite rare and mysterious, and will only appear in the Dragonarium once collected.

**How many enchanted dragons are there?**

Each dragon in DragonVale World has a special enchanted counterpart, and one particularly special dragon has a whole rainbow of enchanted cousins!

### Enchanted Crystals

**Why can't I trade dragons in my park for Shards?**

Only newly-hatched dragons still in the Hatchery can be traded to Eloni for Shards.

**I only received 1 Shard for a dragon. Is this a bug?**

The number of Shards you receive in trade varies based on the rarity of the dragon. 1 Shard is the correct amount for some of the most common dragons, while some rare dragons will trade for several hundred Shards.

**Can I breed an Enchanted Dragon without using an Enchanted Crystal?**

It is not possible to breed an Enchanted Dragon without adding an Enchanted Crystal to the breed attempt. You must tap the "add crystal" button prior to tapping the "breed" button to add a Crystal and guarantee an Enchanted Dragon.

### Spells

**What do spells do?**

We don’t yet know the full power of spells, but we do know they can make your dragons look pretty awesome! Experiment with different combinations of spells to create a custom look for your dragons.

**I have goals to cast Fire and Jungle breath spells but I don't have that option. How can I complete these goals?**

You can't cast a Fire breath spell on a dragon that has Fire as its primary trait. Select any dragon that doesn't have Fire as its primary trait to cast the Fire breath spell and complete the goal. Likewise, you will only be able to cast a Jungle breath spell on a dragon that doesn't have Jungle as its primary trait.

### Growing Food

**How can I grow more food?**

The amount of food you receive for growing a certain crop depends on the level of Sebastian's Snackery. Upgrading the Snackery will allow you to grow more food in the same amount of time. Don't forget you can also purchase additional farm plots in the "Buildings" section of the Market.

**Why can my friend grow more food than I can?**

The amount of food you will receive from planting a given crop depends on the level of Sebastian's Snackery. If your friends are receiving more food for growing a certain crop, it is likely their Snackery is a higher level than yours.

### Habitats

**The Market says I’m at my limit of habitats. Why can’t I buy any more?**

There is a limit to how many total habitats you can have depending on the level of your park. Level up your park to increase your habitat limit and unlock different types of habitats and dragons.

**I upgraded one of my habitats but nothing happened! Why didn’t it change?**

The physical appearance of the habitat will not change with every upgrade, but the number of dragons and/or amount of DragonCash the habitat can hold will increase. Be sure to check the habitat’s stats to see what will increase with the upgrade.

### Collecting DragonCash

**I tried to collect some DragonCash, but it says my bank is full. How can I collect my Cash?**

If you need more space to hold your DragonCash, you can purchase the Golden Talon Bank & Trust from the Market. The total amount of DragonCash you can collect at one time is determined by the level of the Golden Talon Bank & Trust, so upgrade it often to collect as much DragonCash as possible!

**How do I take my DragonCash out of the Golden Talon Bank & Trust?**

The Golden Talon Bank & Trust dictates how much total DragonCash your park can hold, but your DragonCash is not actually stored in the bank separately from your main total. Any DragonCash you collect in your park will be reflected in your main DragonCash total.

### Gathering

**Why can’t I gather some items?**

Each item you can gather from the world map has a set of traits associated with it. In order to gather that item you must have a dragon that possesses those traits.

**What can I do with the items I gather?**

Items gathered from the World Map can be used to fill orders and earn rewards on the Arcane Airship. You can also sell extra items at Silvia’s Trading post to help other players and make some extra DragonCash!

**What is the maximum number of an item I can gather at one time?**

The quantity of an item you can gather at one time depends on the level of the dragon you use. For example, if you use a level 10 dragon to gather, you can gather up to 10 of the item at once.

### Arcane Airship

**How long do I have to fill all the orders on the Arcane Airship?**

Once the Airship docks you will have 16 hours to fulfill all orders. After the Arcane Airships casts off, it will return to your park in 8 hours. Can’t wait for the Airship to return? You can use Gems to make it return right away!

**What if I don’t have the items needed for the Arcane Airship?**

Many items needed for the Airship can be obtained by sending your dragons gathering. If you find yourself missing a few items for the Airship and don't have time to gather them, check Silvia’s Trading Post to see if anyone is selling the items you need. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Send your friends a message and ask them to create a sale to help you out!

### Boost Potions

**Why is it telling me I don't have space to brew a potion when my cauldrons are empty?**

If your cauldrons are empty and you are being told you don't have enough space, your boost potion inventory is likely full. Before you can add a new boost you would need to create space by using or deleting a potion in your inventory, or by unlocking an additional inventory slot. You can access your inventory by entering the Boost Brewery and tapping the blue "inventory" tab at the bottom of your screen.

**Do Dragon Boosts Expire?**

Once you've brewed a Bring 'em Back Boost, Encore Boost, or Rarity Remedy it will be placed into your inventory and will not expire.

**How long does a Bring 'em Back boost last for?**

Once activated, a Bring 'em Back Boost will make the selected dragon and its Enchanted variant available for 7 days. After the boost expires, you will have the option to reactivate it for an additional 3 1/2 days.

**Why can't I brew a Rarity Remedy for some dragons?**

Rarity Remedies are primarily intended to assist with breeding Enchanted Dragons, so you can't brew a Rarity Remedy for a dragon unless you own the base version of that dragon.

**How long will a Rarity Remedy last?**

Once activated, a Rarity Remedy will increase your chances of breeding the selected dragon for 7 days. After the boost expires, you will have the option to reactivate it for an additional 3 1/2 days.

**How long does an Encore Boost last for?**

The amount of time an Encore Boost lasts will be indicated when brewing the boost and differs from dragon to dragon. After an Encore Boost has expired you will have the option to reactivate the boost using Gems.

### Sylvia's Trading Post

**Why should I advertise a sale at Sylvia’s Trading Post?**

When you advertise a sale it will be visible to players all over the world. This is the best way to reach more potential customers and ensure your items sell quickly.

**I advertised a sale but it's no longer advertised. What happened?**

When you advertise a sale it will be visible to other players around the world for 3 hours. If the items do not sell after 3 hours you would need to advertise the sale again in order for it to appear in the world market.

**How many sale slots can I add to Silvia’s Trading Post?**

The maximum number of Trading Post slots available is 40.

### Friends & Gifting

**How many Gems can I send to my friends each day?**

Each day you will have a total of 3 Gems you can send to your friends. Please note that you can only send 1 Gem to each friend per day. It is important to note the Gems you can give away are completely free and are not deducted from your personal Gem total.

**How can I send more than 3 Gems each day?**

You can give Gems to more of your friends by purchasing the Dragonsai Tree from the Market. The Dragonsai Tree will allow you to send Gems to 3 additional friends each day.

**Why does it say I can’t send my friend any more Gems?**

You cannot send more than 1 Gem to the same friend in a single day. Additionally, if your friend has not collected the last Gem you sent them, you will not be able to send them another Gem until they do so.

**What time do the Gems reset?**

The Gems you can send to your friends each day are on a 24 hour cycle and reset daily at 12am\*.

* Times may vary in areas that observe Daylight Savings Time

### Daily Rewards

**I closed the calendar without collecting my reward. How can I get back the the calendar?**

You can access the daily reward calendar at any time by tapping the Dragonsai Habitat, then tapping "Open Calendar".

**What happens if I log into DragonVale World but forget to collect my daily reward?**

If you open DragonVale World, but do not collect your reward for that day, it will be placed into your inbox so you can collect it at your convenience.

**I just collected the rewards for all 20 days. What happens next?**

Once you complete the 20 day calendar, it will start over again the following day. You will be able to collect all of the rewards again - including another free Gem-earning dragon!

**My Dragonsai Habitat is Full. How do I collect more Dragonsai Dragons?**

If you have already collected 9 Dragonsai Dragons you could start collecting the pedestals or placing the dragons in hibernation, but it is not be possible to have more than 9 dragons displayed in the habitat at this time.

If your habitat is full and you are unable to collect your free dragon from your inbox you will first need to place one of your existing dragons in the Hibernation Cave. Once you have freed up a slot by hibernating a dragon you can collect the egg from your inbox and hatch it, exchange it for a display pedestal, or trade it for Shards.

### Weekend Challenges

**I just started playing and didn't get a Weekend Challenge yet. When do they start?**

The Weekend Challenges will begin in your park once you reach level 6.

**What time do the Weekend Challenges start?**

The Weekend Challenges will begin in your park every Friday at 9am\*.

**When do the Weekend Challenges end?**

The Weekend Challenges will run through the weekend and end on Monday at 9am\*.

* Times may vary in areas that observe Daylight Savings Time

## Dragonvale World Gameplay Guide

We’ve hatched an all-new DragonVale game! Enter a magical 3D world of dragon-filled adventures!

This article is intended to explain some gameplay basics and provide answers to some questions you may have. As always, you can email our support team at support@backflipstudios.com if you need additional assistance.

Please like and follow DragonVale World on Facebook for all the latest news: fb.com/DragonValeWorld

### Getting Started

DragonVale World is all about collecting adorable dragons and building an awesome dragon park for them to live in. Here’s a rundown of some of the main features you should know about.

#### The Breeding Cave

     No one really knows for sure what happens inside the Breeding Cave, but we do know that something magical happens when you put two dragons inside. Try it out for yourself!

#### Eloni’s Hatchery

     Once you've bred some dragons you're going to need somewhere to hatch your eggs. Eloni's Hatchery is just the place! Eloni's Hatchery can incubate one egg at a time to start with, but can be upgraded with Gems to hold up to 4 eggs at once.

#### The Market

     In the Market you can find deals on featured dragons, as well as habitats, decorations, Gems and more! Feeling the urge to splurge? Check out the Market for all your shopping needs.

#### Sebastian’s Snackery

     Sebastian’s Snackery is a culinary cornerstone where you can grow crops and store food for all your hungry dragons. Your park will start with 2 farm plots, but you can purchase more in the “Buildings” section of the Market. Be sure to keep your Snackery upgraded to grow more food!

#### Golden Talon Bank & Trust

     Purchase the Golden Talon Bank & Trust from the “Buildings” section of the Market to increase your cash-carrying capacity. The maximum amount of DragonCash you can collect is determined by the level of your bank so upgrade often to collect as much DragonCash as possible!

#### Boost Brewery

     Use the Boost Brewery to craft Boost Potions for speeding up operations around your park. Boosts can be stored, activated, removed, and upgraded here, too. Fill orders on the Arcane Airship to earn recipe ingredients and get busy brewing!

#### The Dragonarium

     The Dragonarium is your one stop shop for all things dragons! Visit the Dragonarium to view all of your dragons, and browse those you haven’t collected yet. You can visit the Dragonarium at any time by tapping the “Dragons” icon on the left side of your screen.

##### Searching the Dragonarium

To make finding specific dragons easier, the Dragonarium can be sorted using several filters. You can filter by traits, rarity, and whether or not the dragon is in your collection.

To apply search filters to the Dragonarium:

1. Tap the purple filter icon in the lower right of the screen
2. Tap on a trait, rarity, or other filter to filter the list of dragons
3. Once you have selected the desired filters, tap the “Apply” button to view the search results
4. To reset your selections, tap the “Reset” button

### Breeding Dragons

A dragon park isn’t much fun without dragons, and breeding dragons is the best way to expand your collection! Select two dragons to put in the Breeding Cave and see what happens! You never know what kind of dragon will hatch!

Dragons must be at least level 4 to breed, but higher level dragons mean better chances to hatch rare and epic dragons!

If you aren’t sure which dragons to breed, take a look at your current goals or visit the Dragonarium to see which dragons you haven't collected yet. Tapping on a dragon in the Dragonarium will give you a breeding tip to help you breed that dragon.

### Hatching Dragons

After you’ve hatched a dragon, place it in your park by tapping the green “Place” button and selecting an appropriate habitat. Each dragon has certain traits that dictate which habitats it can be placed in.

If you don’t have the right habitat for your new dragon, or all of your habitats are full, you will have the option to purchase a new habitat from the Market. Once the new habitat is ready you can place your baby dragon into its new home. Alternatively, you can upgrade an existing habitat to make some room.

#### Egg Pedestals

     Dragon eggs are often just as beautiful as the dragons themselves, so you can also choose to trade your new dragon for a decorative egg pedestal. To trade your dragon for an egg decoration, just tap the pedestal button. You will receive a decorative pedestal that can be placed anywhere in your park.

Please note: Once you have chosen to trade your dragon for a pedestal it cannot be hatched.

#### Selling a Dragon

     If you already have the dragon you just hatched, or you just need some extra DragonCash, you can also choose to sell a dragon by tapping the “Sell” button.

To sell a dragon you have already placed into a habitat, locate it in your park, then tap its info card in the lower left of the feeding screen. From there you can sell, move, rename your dragon, and more!

Please note: If you sell the last dragon of a given type, it will be marked as “Not Collected” in the Dragonarium.

#### Trading a Dragon for Shards

     Any time you hatch a dragon you already own, you will have the option to trade that dragon to Eloni for Crystal Shards. Crystal Shards allow you to craft Enchanted Crystals that will allow you to obtain special Enchanted Dragons. The more rare the dragon,  the more Shards you will receive in Trade.

Please note: Only newly-hatched dragons still in the Hatchery can be traded for Shards.

#### Hibernating a Dragon

     Running out of space in your park? Purchase the Hibernation Cave from the Market to give your dragons a cozy place to rest until you have more room. Once you have the Hibernation Cave in your park you can place a newly-hatched dragon there by tapping the hibernate button.

To remove a dragon from the Hibernation Cave:

1. Tap the Hibernation Cave
2. Tap the "View Dragons" icon
3. Tap the dragon you wish to remove
4. Tap the blue move button
5. Select the habitat you would like to place the dragon in

### Buying Dragons

In addition to breeding, dragons can also be collected by purchasing them in the Dragonarium or Market.

#### Purchasing Dragons From the Dragonarium

To purchase a dragon from the Dragonarium, simply find and tap the dragon you want. When purchasing a dragon, you have two options - purchase the dragon, or purchase the egg to display on a pedestal. You can toggle between the dragon and the pedestal by tapping the egg icon to the right of the buy button.

Please note: Egg pedestals are for decoration only and cannot be hatched. They can, however, make your park look pretty awesome!

#### Featured Dragons

The “Dragons” section of the Market contains deals on featured dragons, as well as special Gem-earning dragons. Be sure to check out the featured dragons often for great deals on awesome dragons!

### Dragon Rarity

     As you hatch and collect dragons in DragonVale World you’ll notice that each dragon has a star level which indicates its rarity. The more stars a dragon has, the more rare it is.

Here’s a basic breakdown of the dragon rarity system:

* Common dragons - 1 star
* Uncommon dragons - 2 stars
* Rare dragons - 3 stars
* Epic dragons - 4 stars

### Enchanted Dragons

     In addition to the rarities above, each dragon in DragonVale World has a special enchanted variant. Enchanted dragons will always have 1 star more than their normal counterpart, and their rarity will be displayed as gold stars instead of silver.

Please note: Enchanted Dragons can only be bred by adding an Enchanted Crystal to the breed attempt.

### Spells

Customize the look of your dragons using spells! Spells are divided into 2 categories - Body and Breath.

**To apply a spell to a dragon:**

1. Select a dragon in your park
2. Tap the "Spells" tab
3. Tap "Body", "Breath", or "All Spells" from the drop down in the upper left of the screen to view the available spells
4. Tap the spell you wish to cast to preview its effects. If you like what you see, just tap the green "Apply" button to cast the spell.

Experiment with different combinations of spells for amazing results!

#### Body Spells

Body spells can change the physical appearance of your dragons. You can make them smaller, make them look like babies again, or even give them a big head!

#### Breath Spells

With Breath spells you can change a dragon's breath to Fire, Earth, Water, Plant, and more! More Breath spells will become available as you level up your park and unlock new dragon types.

### Building Your Park

#### Habitats

Every dragon needs a place to call home, so you’re going to need some habitats. Habitats can be purchased in the “Habitats” section of the Market, and you will unlock different habitat types as you level up your park.

Habitats can be upgraded to hold more dragons and DragonCash. At your habitat limit and need space for a new dragon? Try upgrading one of your existing habitats to make some room!

2. Tap the “Upgrade” icon
3. View the habitat’s stats to see how much the upgrade will cost and how many dragons and DragonCash the upgraded habitat will hold

**Please note:** The physical appearance of the habitat will not change with every upgrade, but the number of dragons and/or amount of DragonCash the habitat can hold will increase. Be sure to check the habitat’s stats to see what will change with the upgrade.

#### Buildings, Paths, and Decorations

Guests like to look at more than just dragons, so be sure to decorate your park too! Buildings, paths, and decorations can be purchased in the Market and are a great way to customize your park. More decorations will become available in the Market as you level up your park.

#### Park Expansions

Park Expansions allow you to increase the size of your park to make room for all those dragons you’ve been collecting. To purchase a park expansion, simply tap one of the wooded areas in your park. If your park is a high enough level to unlock that area you will have the choice of purchasing the expansion with DragonCash or Gems. There are a total of 8 park expansions available. Unlock them all to create an amazing dragon park!

If you choose to purchase the expansion with DragonCash you will need to wait for the area to unlock. If you use Gems to purchase the expansion it will be unlocked immediately.

Please note: Regardless of which purchasing option you choose, the newly unlocked area will contain various trees, rocks, and bushes you will need to clear to create more space.

### Gathering

In DragonVale World you can send your dragons to far-off lands to gather rare and unusual items. You can use these items to fulfill orders and earn rewards on the Arcane Airship, or sell them at Silvia’s Trading Post to make some extra DragonCash!

**To gather items:**

3. Select an item to gather
4. Choose a dragon to send gathering
5. Use the blue “Plus” button to choose the number of items you wish to gather

The quantity of an item you can gather at one time depends on the level of the dragon you use. For example, if you use a level 10 dragon to gather, you can gather up to 10 of the item at once.

### The Arcane Airship

#### Boost Ingredients

There are 4 types of ingredients that can be used to craft Boost Potions. They can be collected from Airship Chests and Weekend Challenges, and you might find a few around your park while growing Food or collecting DragonCash.

#### Crafting a Boost Potion

1. Tap on the Boost Brewery
2. Tap an empty cauldron to view available recipes
3. If you have all of the required ingredients, tap the "Brew" button to begin brewing the Potion

With the optional second cauldron you can brew or activate two Boost Potions at a time, but please note you can't stack two of the same type of Boost.

#### Upgrading a Boost Potion

Boost Potions can also be upgraded to provide an even stronger effect.

To upgrade a Boost Potion:

### Dragon Boosts

These very special boosts provide new and exciting ways to obtain new dragons! Try a Bring 'em Back Boost, a Rarity Remedy, or an Encore Boost to make breeding rare dragons easier than ever before!

#### Bring 'em Back Boosts

 Bring 'em Back Boosts allow you to bring back an expired dragon and make it and its Enchanted variant available to breed or purchase. Select 5 dragons and spin the wheel to randomly select one to bring back. You can upgrade a Bring 'em Back boost using Gems to refine the dragon selection.

Once a Bring 'em Back Boost has been brewed it will be placed into your inventory and will not expire. When you activate the boost it will make the selected dragon and it's Enchanted variant available for 7 days. After a Bring 'em Back Boost has expired you will have the option to reactivate the boost for another 3 1/2 days.

#### Encore Boosts

 Encore boosts are brewed for specific dragons and allow you to bring back the selected dragon after it has expired. Encore Boosts differ from Bring 'em Back boosts in that you can brew the boost for a limited dragon that is currently available, and then activate it any time after that dragon has expired.

Once an Encore Boost is brewed, it will be placed into your inventory and will not expire. You can activate the boost at any time, providing the selected dragon is not currently available. The amount of time an Encore Boost lasts will be indicated when brewing the boost and differs from dragon to dragon. After an Encore Boost has expired you will have the option to reactivate the boost using Gems.

#### Rarity Remedies

 Rarity Remedies will greatly increase your chances of breeding the dragon you select and are best used when paired with an Enchanted Crystal to aid in breeding Enchanted Dragons. Choose between a regular Rarity Remedy, or an Epic Rarity Remedy depending on which dragon you are trying to breed. You cannot brew a Rarity Remedy for a dragon until you have collected the base version of that dragon.

Once a Rarity Remedy is brewed it will be placed into your inventory and will not expire. When you activate the Rarity Remedy you will have a 20% chance to breed the selected dragon for a period of 7 days. After the Rarity Remedy expires you will have the option to reactivate the boost for another 3 1/2 days.

## Enchanted Crystals Guide

We are excited to announce the introduction of an all-new feature in DragonVale World - Enchanted Crystals! This article is intended to help you get the most out of this magical new feature and answer any questions you might have. If you can't find the what you're looking for here, please reach out to the support team at support@backflipstudios.com and they can assist you further.

### What are Enchanted Crystals

Enchanted Crystals are a magical new discovery that help you breed rare dragon variants! Craft an Enchanted Crystal, then add it to the Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island to guarantee an Enchanted dragon! Enchanted Crystals will unlock once your park reaches level 7. While the Enchanted Crystal guarantees an Enchanted dragon, please note that it is possible to breed an Enchanted dragon you already own.

### Obtaining Enchanted Crystals

Enchanted Crystals can be crafted by collecting Shards. Once you've collected 1000 Shards you can use them to craft an Enchanted Crystal. Each time you hatch a dragon you already own you will have the option to trade the newly-hatched dragon to Eloni for Shards. The more rare the dragon, the more Shards you will receive in trade. Please note that existing dragons in your park cannot be traded for Shards.

Shards can also be found in reward Chests from the Airship and Weekend Challenges. If you just can't wait, Crystals can be purchased with Gems in the Treasure section of the Market and come as a single Crystal, or in bundles of 5 and 10.

#### To craft an Enchanted Crystal:

1. Tap the Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island
2. Tap the "Crystals" icon
3. If you've collected 1000 Shards or more, tap the "Craft Crystal" button to create your new Enchanted Crystal

Once the Enchanted Crystal has been crafted it will be placed into your inventory until you are ready to use it.

### Using Enchanted Crystals

Once you've crafted an Enchanted Crystal, you can add it to the Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island at any time. Enchanted Crystals do not expire and you can keep as many in your inventory as you like.

#### To add an Enchanted Crystal to a breed attempt:

1. Tap the Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island
2. Select the two dragons you wish to breed
3. Tap the "Add Crystal" button
4. Tap a Crystal to select it
5. Tap the "Breed" button

When breeding is finished you are guaranteed to receive an Enchanted dragon!

### Frequently Asked Questions

**At what level do Enchanted Crystals unlock?**

Enchanted Crystals will unlock once your park reaches level 7. If you are above level 7 and still aren't seeing them, you likely need to update your version of DragonVale World. Please update to version 1.14 or higher from your device's app store.

**Can I trade my existing dragons for Shards?**

Dragons that have already been hatched and placed in your park or Hibernation Cave cannot be traded to Eloni for Shards.

**Can I breed an Enchanted Dragon without using an Enchanted Crystal?**

In order to breed an Enchanted dragon you must add an Enchanted Crystal to the breed attempt. It is also no longer necessary to breed the base dragon first before you can breed the Enchanted version of that dragon.

**Does an Enchanted Crystal guarantee that I will receive an Enchanted dragon I don't already own?**

While the Enchanted Crystal guarantees an Enchanted dragon, please note that it is possible to breed an Enchanted dragon you already own.

**How many times can I use an Enchanted Crystal?**

A single Enchanted Crystal can only be used one time, but using it guarantees an Enchanted dragon from that breed. Additional Crystals can be crafted from Shards or purchased in the Market.

**Do Enchanted Crystals expire?**

You can save as many Enchatned Crystals in your inventory as you like and they will never expire.
