Treats

Buying Treats in the Market
can be purchased with real money via the in-game Market, within the Treasure sub-section. The images above show how many treats the player can buy per US Dollar. As with all in-app purchases in DragonVale, there are incentives to spend more on the purchase by providing more items per dollar in each successive spending bracket.

Note that the purchase of these, as well as the other Treasures in DragonVale, is NOT necessary to experience full gameplay. The purchases only function to speed up the player's progress.

Growing Treats in DragonVale
can be grown in DragonVale by using Treat Farms. There are three types of Treat Farms available; the "normal" Treat Farm, the Large Treat Farm, and the Huge Treat Farm. Each successive farm allows you to grow more types of treats on them. The differences between the types of treats are: the cost, the growing time, crop yield, and experience points earned. Otherwise, there is no functional difference between them, and they are all pooled together in your total (seen in the upper right-hand corner of the game screen).

On each farm's page are the details for each. On the Treat Farms page, there is a concise quick-reference chart that summarizes the differences between the treats, as well as a chart detailing how many treats are needed per level to increase an individual dragon's level.

Real Fruits
Dragon Fruit is the only treat in the game that is actually real. They are one of the most exotic looking fruits available with bright pink skin and green tipped leaves and a white, pink or red flesh speckled with black seeds. Truly a beautiful fruit and the perfect example of the phrase "looks can be deceiving" or "don't judge a book by it's cover" because this gorgeous fruit doesn't taste like much more than water.

The Dragon Snap may also be based on the (small) flower called Snap Dragon.
