Indicators

Indicators are within DragonVale to notify players if certain content is ready to interact with.

Indicators have been referred to as "hover notifications" or "pop-up notifications" within the DragonVale Community before learning of their official name.

Indicators appear to hover around the center of the content that can be interacted with.

Some indicators have been around since the start of DragonVale such as the DragonCash, Treats, Experience, and Breed.

Other indicators were introduced later on as new content and features were added such as Gems, Fountain of Youth, Quests, Cooperative Breeding and Vision Play Icons.
