# Dragons

## Q: What do personalities do?

Personalities give dragons special auras. They can be necessary for Bonds, Quests, or for breeding variants.

### Q: How can I get the personality I want?

Personalities can have different requirements (one could be based on the amount of views the dragon has, another could be based on how it was trained).

***For a more in-depth explanation on each personality and how to obtain them, visit the Personalities page.***

### Q: I met all the requirements, but my dragon didn't get the personality! / Are personalities guaranteed?

Not all personalities are guaranteed. Even if your dragon qualifies for them, it is still a matter of luck whether you get it or not. There are only three personalities that are guaranteed and those are the personalities Capable, Dull, and Lunatic.

You can use Lunera's Potential Personality Analysis ability on a hatchling to try to reroll and get the desired personality, but this isn't guaranteed either (and can even give the dragon the same personality it already had). Lunera's ability cannot be used on the same dragon more than once.

When the dragon is an adult, a Moonlight Gem can be used to force on a personality out of a list of personalities that the dragon qualifies for.

### Q: What does basic personality mean?

A basic personality is the default personality the dragon will have, either from it not qualifying for any special personalities or from not getting one when it grows due to bad luck.

Each dragon species has two basic personalities that they start off with, one of them being common and the other being rare for that species. These basic personalities also give a clue as to what the dragon's base stats are.

#### Q: What are base stats?

Base stats are the starting stats that the dragon will have. These stats are hidden from the player and can only be figured out through clues given from the basic personality and through Henes' Mind Reading ability. These base stats are available on the Wiki for each dragon's page.

Base stats are often necessary to know for certain personalities that count base stats in their requirements, such as Capable or Distracted.

#### Q: What do the 5/0/10/30 (as an example) numbers mean?

This is the format that the community uses to communicate the values for each stat type. The order goes: Agility/Strength/Focus/Intellect. For example, a dragon with 5/0/10/30 stats will have 5 Agility, 0 Strength, 10 Focus, and 30 Intellect.

### Q: Does Adore/Vitamins disqualify personalities?

No. Using the Adore action or applying Vitamins to dragons has no effect on any personality and will not disqualify you.

## Q: How do I trade or gift dragons?

To be able to trade or gift (or receive gifted) dragons, you first need to own an adult Liberte dragon.

Offering on a trade or receiving a gift will not use the Liberte's ability and thus will not put it on cooldown, but creating a trade, sale, or gift and it being successful will use up the ability and put the Liberte on cooldown.

Adult dragons cannot be traded, and certain dragons may not be traded based on their species, where they were obtained, or from other reasons. See the questions below for more information.

### Q: Can dragons be untradeable?

Yes. If a dragon was obtained through Evria or Wandering Merchant, it won't be tradeable. Sometimes dragon species as a whole are untradeable, (see the Untradeable category for a list) or first generations of that dragon are untradeable. You can see if a dragon is tradeable based on if it has a little icon of the trade market symbol circled and crossed out next to the egg on the dragon's page, or at the top of the dragon's profile.

### Q: This dragon isn't marked untradeable, yet it's not showing up in the list of available dragons for me to trade. Why?

Dragons that are named, sick, in your profile (and/or set as your partner dragon), or in your village cannot be traded, so be sure to revert their name, heal them, or take them off your profile/village so they can show up.

Dragons obtained from normal Exploration sites cannot be traded until 5 hours have passed since they were first obtained.

If none of these apply to the dragon you're trying to trade, tap the [x] button next to the dragon's section in the page where you select a dragon to add to your trade to see exactly why it cannot be traded.

### Q: Are G1 monthly dragons tradeable?

No. G1 Monthly Egg dragons are untradeable, however, their offspring can be traded.\*

\*sometimes a monthly dragon will have a special form obtained from breeding such as Clavis' Christmas Appearance. These forms may not be tradeable, despite being G2+.

#### Q: Will monthly dragons return next year?

Yes. All monthly dragons will return the next year in their respective month.

### Q: Are Evria-exclusive dragons tradeable?

Evria-exclusive dragons are only tradeable if they are in an Egg Box. Once an egg, these dragons will no longer be tradeable, even if bred.

There are other dragons that, even when bred, are untradeable. You can view them all from the Untradeable Category page.

## Q: Can my dragons die?

Yes, dragons can die through different means.

On your dragon's profile, by scrolling down and looking to the right of the screen, underneath the "Lineage" tab will be a timer with the icon of a heart with a lightning bolt through it. This is the dragon's death timer, and if it does not evolve before the timer hits 0, the dragon will die.

The dragon can also die if cared for a certain amount of times while it's sick, or if it is abandoned, or if it's an untradeable dragon and is sent to the shelter.

## Q: What do views/clicks do?

Views/clicks are necessary for view-based personalities such as Lousy, Arrogant, or Lovely. Views/clicks do not effect the dragon's growth and are purely for personality purposes.

## Q: What are the rarest/sought-after dragons?

In the Egg Market, Exploration dragons are priced according to their rarity. The higher of a price the dragon has, the rarer it is to appear in Exploration.

As for what's useful for trading, this can fluctuate as the community grows and changes its interest. "Utility dragons", or dragons with useful abilities such as Egg Dragon, Lunera, and Liberte are highly valued, sometimes even more than dragons than are technically rarer than them based on the Egg Market.

Other rare/sought after dragons are dragons that require spending real-life currency to obtain, such as Monthly Dragons or Card Code dragons, or those that require a lot of time to obtain, such as Angra or Pharaogon.

## Q: How long does it take for dragons to grow?

While it depends on the species, on average, it will take a dragon 1 day to 1 day and 15 hours to grow into the next stage.

### Q: How can I make my dragons grow faster?

Your first dragon will have a special rapid-growth effect applied to it and will grow to an adult in 24 hours.

Keeping a dragon at maximum happiness will allow it to grow as fast as it can. Once it's been growing for long enough and has enough happiness, you can use the Adore action, which will make it grow into the next stage 6-7 hours before it would normally.

Using Egg Dragon's ability Cuddle on the dragon while it's still an egg will make it hatch faster, but there is no such ability to speed up its growth when it's a hatch or hatchling.

On occasion, Rapid Growth Pills will be sold as part of an item bundle for real-life currency. These pills will give the dragon the same special rapid-growth effect as your first dragon had, and will make it grow into an adult in 24 hours.

## Q: What dragons have the best abilities?

For a more in-depth breakdown, see the Special Actions page.

In general, these dragons have the best abilities and are recommended to grab when starting out:

Egg Dragon - Cuddle: Removes 24 hours from the dragon's death timer, but allows it to hatch faster.

Liberte - Delivery: Allows you to trade or gift with other players in Trade.

Lunera - Potential Personality Analysis: Allows you to reroll a hatchling's personality to attempt to get the wanted personality.

### Q: How can I fight Darknix?

(Not to be confused with Sealed Darknix, obtainable in Gap of Chaos, or Light Darknix, a special Bond reward)

Darknix can be fought by using the ability of a God Dragon, Power Dragon, Frost Dragon, or Lightning Dragon.

***For more information, see Explore (Underground Dungeon).***

### Q: How can I fight Non?

(Not to be confused with Pure Evil Non, a special Bond reward)

Non can be fought using the ability of a Florea, Fides, Lucio, or Obex.

***For more information, see Adventure (The Void Abyss).***

## Q: Is there a dragon limit?

No, you can collect as many dragons as your heart desires. The only limits you have are your egg and nurture limit, which restricts how many eggs and hatch/hatchlings you have growing at a time respectively.

### Q: How can I increase the egg/nurture limit?

You can increase your egg/nurture limit by obtaining more adult dragons. After meeting certain thresholds, you will "rank up" and obtain a new certificate, raising your limit.

## Q: What are Chaos/Apocalypse forms? How do they work?

Chaos and Apocalypse are special variants of Card Code dragons that can be obtained either through an Egg Box (G1) or through breeding (G2+). You do not need to already have a Chaos or Apocalypse variant to be able to breed more Chaos/Apocalypse variants, and can begin breeding for one starting from any generation. It is random chance to get one of these variants if you meet certain conditions\*, and you won't know if you obtained one until after the dragon hatches.

\*Only Chaos variants require certain conditions to be met to have the chance of hatching one. G2+ eggs of (volume 2) Card Code dragons will always have a chance to be the Apocalypse variant, but the chance is small and can be increased by meeting certain conditions.

***See the breeding page for more information.***

# Items

# Exploration

## Q: What does the Wandering Merchant do?

The Wandering Merchant allows you to obtain Exploration site dragons and sometimes Wandering Merchant exclusives without having to worry about competing with other players for eggs. There will be three dragons out of a pool of dragons that rotate each month that he can show, as well as one rarer dragon that he has available in his lottery.

### Q: When does the Wandering Merchant appear?

The Wandering Merchant appears every 6 hours, four times a day, and remains for 15 minutes each time. His hours are:

## Q: What is Evria?

Evria is a special Exploration site that allows you to obtain rare Exploration site dragons and, on the rare chance, alternative colors to dragons that are exclusive to Evria, without having to compete with other players for eggs.

You must pay a fee of 1000 Cosmic Crystals each time you enter Evria.

***For more information, see Evria's page here.***

## Q: What is the Underground Castle?

The Underground Castle is where your dragons can go through a series of fights to try to win Dragons and an item called an Egg Piece. The more adult dragons you own, the farther you can go in the castle.

***For more information, see the Underground Castle's page here.***

## Q: When do Exploration sites reset their eggs?

Exploration sites (and the shelter) refresh/reset their eggs every 3 minutes (i,e 00:03, 21:00, 48:00, etc). While looking at an Exploration site (excluding Shelter, Evria, Gap of Chaos, and Underground Castle), there will be a timer at the bottom that shows the exact server time.

It's recommended to start refreshing the Exploration site using the refresh button a few seconds before the next refresh interval occurs to see all the new eggs right when they appear.

# Other

## Q: What's the difference between "Combat" and "Colosseum"?

Combat is the first iteration of a feature where dragons could fight each other - it's a style of 1v1 PVP that can only be unlocked through Mithra's ability. Only Taygeta, Mithra, Angra, and Karura can participate.

Colosseum is another iteration of dragons fighting one another, and is 3v3 PVP where all dragon species can participate, have skills and items to enhance their stats, and work your way through tiers and rankings for special rewards.

***See the Combat page and Colosseum page for more information.***

## Q: What is Lathea/What's the "holy power" needed to get into that building to the bottom right of the Square?

Lathea is the place where you can observe dragons from all sorts of players that have been ascended. Having an adult Centura\* as your partner is required to enter the portal.

* Centura has two variants; blue (normal) and purple (from Underground Castle's Egg Pieces). Only the blue variant can get into Lathea.

## Q: How can hidden quests be triggered?

Hidden quests can be triggered by having a specific dragon as your partner, or very rarely, by having a specific village item in your village.

***See the Hidden Quests page for more information on each quest's requirements.***

## Q: How does the Jump! Minigame work?

You have to touch and hold the screen when the egg is about to reach the blue line. If you time it well, the string will pull down the egg and play an explosion animation, then you can let go and watch the egg shoot up into the skies!

***Watch this video example with tips and a demonstration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEAye6iOfXY***

## Q: How do I unlock/complete entries in the Dragon Book?

You can unlock/complete entries in the Dragon Book by obtaining the dragon's different genders/forms. You will be given one point per dragon owned, and the amount of points needed to complete each stage's entry is as follows:

Adult - 3

Hatchling - 2

Hatch - 1

Egg - 1

You can also view other player's dragons to gain points, with 5 views = 1 point.

Some dragons cannot have their entries completed via viewing other player's dragons and must be obtained to be given any points towards their entries. This applies to dragons that are obtained from Help Request or from Cosmic Album Score rewards.

## Q: The game says it's currently down, why?

Sometimes the game becomes unavailable to play due to ongoing maintenance. New features and dragons are added to the game all the time, but the game must become temporarily unavailable for them to be added. When maintenance is ongoing, trying to log in to the game will show a popup that will tell you the expected end time for maintenance.

Dragons will not grow while the game is down for maintenance.

### Q: How often does the game update?

The game usually updates every week or two.
