The island is a habitat, since the gem dragons are a new "class" or element (similar to the epics, as they can't breed with other dragons) it will be their only habitat. So you won't need it to get them, you will need it to have them...unless you want to have them languish in the Hibernation Cave, not earning gems. ;)
