Frequently Asked Questions
Q: When I try to log into GameCenter, it says my account has been disabled "for security reasons". What do I do?
A: This means you have entered your password incorrectly numerous times. Reset your password through iTunes or the official site for more help.
Q: How do I add Friends to my GameCenter account? How do I visit their islands?
A: To add a Friend in GameCenter, login to the GameCenter app and go into Friends or Requests. Click the + and type in your friend's username or email. It must be typed EXACTLY right, with caps lock and symbols! To visit their islands, go into the in-game Friends menu and click their name.
Q: Help! I want Dragon A but I keep getting Dragon B no matter how many times I try breeding it!
A: Try reversing the order. You can even try using hybrids if stuck, for example, instead of trying to get a Quake dragon with a pure Lightning and pure Earth dragon you could try with a pure Lightning and Mountain(as it is partially Earth and thus can produce Quake OR Storm offspring). It deeply depends on luck, just keep trying with as many dragons as possible.
Q: What levels do dragons transform?
A: Levels 4 and 7. Also they get an orb-like object above their heads at level 11. They also get a golden crown above their heads at level 20.
Q: How do I obtain a rainbow dragon egg without buying it from the market with gems?
A: Rainbow eggs can be obtained randomly through the breeding process. There is no proven rainbow egg breeding formula (dragons guaranteed to produce them) at the moment. Some individuals suggest breeding hybrid dragons with four elements such as lava (fire + earth) + seaweed (water + plant), or level 10 dragons, but their results remain random at best. Good luck!
Note: 'Breeding two rainbow dragons will produce a rainbow dragon egg.
Q: Can I get an air dragon without spending crystals?
A: Yes, breed a fire and water dragon.
Q: Do any decorations have any beneficial purpose?
A: Aside from rewarding minimal XP, they do not provide any benefit.
Q: Is there any other ways to get gems besides paying for them?
A: Yes, A friend may gift you a gem every 24 hours. Each player is given 3 gems to gift daily, so forming a group of four with three other active players can guarantee that each day you receive three gems to use.This can be changed if you have a Dragonsai Gem Tree which you can use to send 6 gems to gift instead of 3. A site has been setup to help organize the creation of gifting teams at http://dragonvale.angells.com/teams.
Q: Apart from giving free gems to a friend, is there any other way to earn free gems?
A: Yes, Gems can be won from Colosseum events, visit the Colosseum page for more information.
Q: What does the green plus and red minus next to the # gold/min number mean? Why the number is sometimes green and sometimes red?
A: You are refering to the effects of the elemental boosts you build. Elemental boosts have one element they will boost, adding to the gold/min (the green plus) and one element they will hinder, reducing the gold/min (the red minus). The elemental boosts affect the entire island they are placed on. Hybrids dragons have two elements, so watch what dragons share the island with the boosts you place.
Q: How can I get a Blue Fire dragon?
A: There is a confirmed method but it still requires luck. you have to breed a Fire(non-hybrid), with a hybrid who contains the cold element. Naturally you can not breed fire with cold(natural opposites).
Tip: Try breeding a Fire with an Ice dragon (breed of water + cold). You can get a Blue fire dragon out of it or another Ice dragon. Just keep trying.
