Hi..I looked at the breeding basics and the sandbox and frankly am still confused. SO many dragons!! all I'm trying to do right now is figure out how to get a moon dragon and the other ones that are available only for diamonds and aren't the result of breeding two other easily obtained dragons. Does that make sense? Help! Thanks:) I also don't get the sandbox, if you don't know the dragons you can't really use it because I don't see a place to put in "I want a moon dragon" or whatever.. ??

I can understand why you are overwhelmed. To get a moon dragon you need to breed using dragons that contain the cold and lightning elements. You also need to breed between the hours of 7 P.M. and 7 A.M. DV goes by the time set on your device, so if it is the wrong time of day, you can simply change the time on your device to trick DV into thinking it is night. If you have a storm dragon, you could breed it with a plant dragon to have a chance at bloom. If you have a flower dragon and use it instead of plant, you can also get a spring. Bloom and spring are both limited dragons, so they won't be available to breed for much longer. Limiteds and epics often take numerous tries to obtain, but patience and perseverance do pay off in the end.
As for the sandbox, if you look near the top of the page, there are tabs. You start on the sandbox tab. If you click the combo finder tab, it allows you to choose which dragon(s) you are trying to get, and it will list all possible combos. You can then choose which one works best for you. I hope this helps, and I wish you success in your dragon hunting.

I love my vine dragon avatar created by ElektronX. Now, if only BFS would add it to the game...

Hi Nance, To answer your specific question about moon, you need to use the elements fire, cold and lightning so firefly and storm would be a good choice another one would be cold and firefly which would also give you a chance at Frostfire. Or fire and storm which would give you a chance at Bluefire.
Moon and Sun are special cases when it comes to breeding. They use the same breeding pairs, but to get moon you have to breed between 7:00pm and 7:00am according to your device's clock. In other words, night time. To get Sun, you need to start your breed during the day. You also need to be at L12 or higher.
As for the sandbox, have a look at the top of the page. You will see a series of tabs there. The one you want for the "how do I get..." Questions is the second one labelled "Combo Finder"
Also remember that using the right combination only gives you a chance at getting the dragon. It does not guarantee it. Even with the right combo, you only have about a 1 in 20 chance of getting a moon. That means you should get one on average every twenty tries. But you might go 100 tries without one and then get 5 in a row.

Congrats on your luck, and we are happy to have you join us.
Sorry to gravedig, I've just started DV, been playing for 3 days now I believe, I am just about to hit level 10 (in 2 hours when my next dragon hatches). I honestly had no idea the game was going to have so much content! It's great!
I'm really struggling to learn all the DV terms and whatnot, DC is Dragoncash right?
Any tips on starting out and what would be the best idea to do in terms of making good money and levelling up etc? I have a fair bit of free time at the moment, thanks in advance

Hi and welcome. Please feel free to dig around some more. There is a wealth of information here. And this is the right place to start if you are.
At level 10 you will be struggling to make ends meet for a while. My advice would be to steer clear of decorations for now and concentrate on the more useful items for a while. The colosseum in particular is handy for an extra boost of cash and gems. Remember to put your highest level dragon with the correct element in each time. Iif you win gold, you will make a full days earning potential for that dragon as well as 5 gems. It is probably best to skip days where you don't have the element yet.
Put your dragons in the highest level habitat (DC limit) you can. A tree dragon will earn much more over time in an earth habitat than in a plant habitat, simply because of the earning limit. Most long term players only keep one plant habitat.
And yes DC means dragon cash.
Anyways, look around. Kick a few tires and generally join in the mayhem. Cheers

Hopefully, is it me or is butterfly really hard to get, I couldn't believe it!
Any dragon can be difficult to breed if the koala gods aren't on your side. It's been quite a long while, but do remember Butterfly taking its' own sweet time appearing in my park.
My moaning worked. This morning I got at 12 hour sign. Phew! Then I sped it up later on today just to see the egg. I clicked retry and once again 12 hrs. My koalas come in pairs. Seems like they don't like being lonely! Gives me 12 hours to breed for dream before butterfly and butterfly in island for a 20% chance of success of the egg. If that doesn't work I'll wait until I'm free not breeding anything.... Focus on plasma and pearl then!

I have another moon in the works!! Tried for one forever now I've got another one on the way-- yay! I love the moon, I'll take all I can get lol. It's funny how this game makes one sound like a proud parent

And one awesome thing about these boards is that no one thinks you're crazy for saying that!
Speaking as someone with a level 54 park, I think it's safe to say that rare/epic dragons are nearly impossible to breed except by accident. This may sound like bragging (sorry if it does), but it's really hard when you're trying to breed for a new hybrid, and then you get a 36 hour breeding time for a sun/moon/rainbow. I have never gotten any epic like a sun/moon/rainbow/treasure/seasonal (except one sun) on purpose. Oh, if anyone's wondering, mountain/steel is a really good combination for bronze dragons. I keep getting them trying to breed for bearded.
And can someone explain how to get enough treats for level 20 dragons without using gems? I've been playing for over a year and a half, and I've managed all level 15 dragons and one level 20 dragon, but the level 20 dragon took every last treat I had been saving up for the past two months. Ouch.
But aside from treats, it really isn't that hard to play DV without paying any money at all. I have a great park with almost all the dragons, over a billion dollars, and almost 250 gems at any one time. As long as you're patient enough to breed gemstone dragons, use the coliseum every day, and have six friends gifting every day, you can easily get at least 40 gems a week.

I am constantly breeding food. Even when I don't have anything particular to spend it on. I used to grow Pumpernickle constantly but I got tired of all the clicking so now I mostly do Dragon Fruit
When I am heads down trying to get more food, I spend more $$ to get the larger amount of food (Omega Squash? Is one) I spend gems almost exclusively on speeding up breedings. Very occasionally on buying something from the market.
