Notes [ ]
The Epic Breeding Island , and the Epic Breeding Sanctuary are not absolutely necessary to successfully breed any dragon . It only grants the player a slight increase to the probability of breeding epic dragons , opposite dragons , limited dragons and some other dragons. The greatest benefit is allowing the player to breed two sets of dragons at any given time.
Gemstone dragons cannot breed with any other dragons , even another of the same type.
Kairos cannot be bred ; it is obtained by completing the Perch of Kairos .
On June 27, 2013, filter buttons were added to the breeding menu to sort dragons by elements .
A message would pop up on the screen for players if they do not have enough room to place an egg after the dragons have finished breeding .
If a player speeds up breeding the two dragons and has a Nursery full of eggs , it would deduct gems from the total count to show that the dragons have finished breeding. The egg would not enter the Nursery if it has no empty nest.
This rule was changed on an unknown date. Now it is not possible to speed up breeding using gems if the Nursery is full of eggs .
The message card was updated on an unknown date to include the sentence "We're sorry!".
On June 27, 2013, the "Breed" button received its own unique sound effect upon clicking it.
On June 27, 2013, a "Retry" button was added for players trying to get a specific dragon .
This option allows users to breed with the same two dragons used most recently. A confirmation message pops up on the screen for players to double check the two dragons that were bred .
The option is not available if the dragons that were used previously are entered in a different breeding habitat, is competing in the Colosseum , is on a quest or is moved into the Hibernation Cave .
On August 22, 2013, the "Breeding Hints " button was added for players to gain access to hints for breeding dragons .
On August 22, 2013, the "Help" button that was added for players to look at helpful hints, included a couple of hints specifically regarding breeding .
As of Update 2.0 , breeding two of the same dragon will NOT guarantee that dragon. For users who have suggestions on ways that Backflip Studios can enhance alternative breeding options, they have provided a special email address: DVBreeding@backflipstudios.com .
