Dragonvale World is the newest game from Backflip Studios featuring our favourite mythical creatures. The game play is incredibly similar to Dragonvale, unsurprisingly, you purchase primary dragons and habitats, breed them to make hybrids and new elements are introduced as you level up. The main difference to basic play is that this is a 3D game allowing you to truly see the dragons from all angles (you can rotate them on the screen yourself) and the environment you are in (decorations and buildings can also be rotated). Oh, also ... your islands aren't floating anymore.
Your New Park
The lower part of your island is is the base of your park. It holds the dragonarium, which players of DV1 should be able to pick out, and also the Market, the Clan Hall and the Wizard Hall. This island cannot be decorated or cleared and none of the buildings or the portal can be moved.
The tutorial doesn't start here but slightly north ...
Building your new Park
This is where the game play/tutorial starts. You build habitats, buy eggs, grow food and level up & breed dragons. I'm sure we can pick out Fire and Jungle habitats, a farm, the breeding cave and the hatchery. You can see timers over everything that is going on, including the construction of a habitat and the clearing of some obstacles at the back. As you progress and need more room, you can buy expansions (the top left shows the trees and rocks of the next expansion) but you also get to expand outside of your own island.
Expanding into new Locations
As part of the tutorial you unlock Brightleaf Jungle, your first new location which unlocks ...
... the Jungle Dragon and the Jungle Habitat. You can add the Jungle habitat to your park, but also, eventually, you can place dragons in the Brightleaf Jungle. You can also send Dragons with the Jungle element to explore the Brightleaf Jungle to find exotic foods that you can't grow yourself and other special items as well.
Spells
The special items your dragons find when they go collecting can temporarily change the look of your dragon, increase earnings or decrease breeding times. You can also use combinations of items to perform spells, that will cause permanent changes in your dragons.
Achievements
The game keeps track of all your progress and you get rewarded as you hit certain milestones. You can keep track of your progress in the Wizards Hall and the smaller goals are replaced by bigger ones (Feed Dragons 100 Times is replaced with Feed Dragons 1000 Times, etc).
Social Play
As you complete the achievements throughout the game your progress is posted in your Activity tab. Friends through GCID and FaceBook can "applaud" your achievements. This rewards you with gems, which as we all know, is a vital element of the game. You can also visit your friends parks, join a Clan and even send messages.
And that's pretty much the overview of game play. Follow the links below to take you to threads with specific answers or to ask questions.
Daily Rewards Calendar
Check into DV World each and every day to 'Open Calendar' for Daily Rewards! Everyday gives you a new opportunity to collect Dragoncash, XP, Spin for Gift, Food, and Gems. At the end of 20 days you earn a free Dragonsai Dragon! Dragonsai Dragons are highly desirable Epic Dragons as they earn Gems and we could always use more Gems! Place your Dragonsai Dragons in one of three unique Dragonsai Habitats. Each Habitat holds 5 Dragons.
Maximising XP to Level Up You do not earn XP from breeding and hatching dragons. This fact means that progress through the levels is quite a bit slower then in DV1. But we are all keen to level up as fast as possible, to get access to the new dragons. The four best ways to do this are:
1. Clearing Obstacles 2. Completing Goals and filling Airship Orders 3. Growing food and feeding dragons 4. Buying habitats and decorations 5. Gathering with your Dragons
1. Buy park expansions and clear obstacles as soon as you are able. You will need DC to do that, so have a look at maximising earnings below.
2. Fulfil Goals ASAP and fill all the Airship Orders to get the bonus XP. Once the Airship is away, it returns in 8 hours, so it is possible to get a couple of trips done in a day. And whilst the Airship is away, clicking on the dock will show you what is needed for the next trip (though not the quantities) so you can be somewhat prepared by growing the necessary food whilst you are waiting.
3. Buy the max number of farm plots available and keep food growing in them all the time. The pantry is limited in size, so feed it to your dragons as soon as you can. Food required really ramps up in the last few levels, so level up all the dragons to 6, then work on getting them all to 7, etc. This way they are earning more DC for you. And keep sending your dragons out to gather. The items they bring back are a great boost to levelling them up.
4. Buy and sell habitats and decorations to turn DC into XP. In the lull between clearing an Expansion and levelling up to the next one, you will find that you reach the DC ceiling cap reasonably fast. There is nothing better to spend your DC on, so turn it into XP. Decorations earn 1 XP for every 2 DC spend but Habitats earn an XP for every DC you spend. However Decorations are instantly built whilst Habitats take time/need to be sped up with gems. The hybridised habitats also cost gems, and are instantly built. They earn 100 XP for every gem spent, so spending 250 gems on a Desert/Fire habitat will get you 25,000 XP at the click of a button.
5. Sending dragons out to Gather earns you XP in the amount that you have spent (when you collect the food). You can check the amounts you can earn HERE
Maximise Earnings DC DC is earned through the dragons in habitats and by selling off dragons you have bred. Here's a couple of notes about that:
1. Dragons at a Location do not earn DC. You only collect from the habitats that you have in your park.
2. You can use dragons at a location to breed or gather. This means if you know you have a dragon that you are going to be using a lot for either of those purposes, place it at a Location (if you can). That way you will not lose out on earning DC while that dragon is doing other things.
3. Make sure you cast spells for greater earnings on dragons you have in a habitat. It is wasted on a dragon at a location. **BFS are adjusting how spells work, and it seems they are not meant to be permanent in the future. This might make them not worth the trouble.**
4. Feed dragons with the food corresponding to their elements, for an XP boost. Some of the food that you gather specifically indicates a 25% boost when fed to a dragon with the appropriate elements. This is only for their main elements and not for their Variant element. (So a WvFirefly will get a bonus from Jungle and Fire Snaps, but not Water Snaps.) **It seems that Version 1.0.7 might have done away with the boosted food.**
Gems 1. Rewards for achievements will just happen as you go along and your friends Applaud your progress. Make sure you reciprocate. If you have just started the game, you should make sure a decent number of your friends have also started before you start collecting the achievements, as new players can't applaud achievements you have already collected.
2. I don't believe there is any use for Artefacts beyond turning a collection in for gems. Wait until you have the 6 pieces of dragon teeth for the 17 gems, as the exchange rate isn't really worth it before that.
3. You get the chance to win gems as a bonus when you gather at the various locations. Use high level dragons that have the Adventure boost, to increase your chances, and decrease the time it takes.

Best use of Spells With v1.0.7 spells are no longer permanent. It seems to me this limits their usefulness markedly, as the hassle to collect the required ingredients is not worth an hour, or 5 hours, worth of time saved. Especially as that might only end up being one breeding attempt or one gathering trip.
Seed Potion (decreased breeding time) 1. Only really useful whilst trying for epics to decrease their breed times.
Hatch Potion (decreased incubate time) 1. As with the Seed potions, I would only bother with this when trying for epics.
Gold Potion (increased earnings) 1. Probably not worth the effort, but might be if cast on high earning epics.
Adventure spells (decreased gathering time) 1. Only use when gathering a lot of long term foods to really bring the time down.

I have a big question and seems that no one knows, the question is I have the iPad Air 2 iOS platform and then I also started playing on android but I did not know the iOS version is not updated like on android now I can't even play back on my iOS even tried clicking on play old profile and nothing happens. I need the updated version on iOS to match with android on my Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1" then to find out that my tablet is not even comparable the graphics are bad and now I can not play my profile I made then had to do a new profile on iOS starting over again. So why has Apple iTunes Store not have the newest update like on android? Oh and on my android the game on that is using someone else's Google Game Center inspiredEggman227 that is not mine how come that happened so I did not use that one. I am frustrated now and want my first game profile back on iOS I removed the game off my android tablet. Hope this is the right place to ask these questions, and hope you understood. Please help.
I dunno if this is the right place to ask, but I searched the App Store and cannot find it. Admittedly, there is a 'Breeding Guide for DragonVale World' just no DragonVale World. I assume it runs on iOS because there was a GameCenter logo in one or more of the screenshots. Is there something I'm missing?

It is not a world wide release yet, so it is not available in all countries. Just be patient ...
I have some questions, I haven't played DV (the original) but decided to try this version.
The balance between resources at these extremely low levels (7) seems difficult, if I keep food growing at all times, I simply can't afford to clear space/upgrade buildings or really send dragons gathering should I be restraining my other progress to focus in investing in dragons and thus increases the income stream even if it means I can't actually do anything else? Has the 'Location' situation been changed?If I don't have a habitat the only option I see is to sell my newly raised dragon. I am missing something?
Are multiple habitats then the most realistic option? Loose calculations (not considering the ongoing space risk) would make me think that more dragons and habitats would be a greater returns then long periods waiting on upgrades and less breeding.
Progress seems mostly out of reach at the moment, and while I enjoy the aesthetics immensely (such HUGGABLE widdle guys) I am feel a little awkward about how to progress.

Yes, the early stages in DV and DVW both seem to be about waiting for limited resources, after a while it gets easier.
Raising your income stream is the only way to progress, but that is a balance between levelling up dragons and clearing land for more habitats.
If you can find a friendly high level player, they can transfer cash to you through the market, (you buy low/sell high, rinse and repeat), which helps enormously. (I'll volunteer, if you have no-one else, pm me for Facebook details)
Early on. normal DV was also a grind because of the low earnings, but it's trivial to progress there now, if you just level up your free Galaxy dragon as a high priority
Can anyone tell me how the lifetimes you get from friends work. Thank you in advance!
Not sure what your asking. You can gift gems to your friends. And also put items for sale that only your friends can see thru Sylvia's market. You can add friends now only thru Facebook. I think. If you had gamecenter friends from before ios10. They are still there if they are playing dvw

Looking for party hat friends. Pm me for Facebook Id.
1) An awful lot of this article appears to be for and earlier (beta?) version of the game. I don't have anything like the locations, and spells don't seem to do anything except change graphics. Or am I missing something?
2) Is there any way to get the Ancient and Sunken dragons without spending gems?

If you click on the dragons ico it will give you an overview of the dragon, ie. gem cost, breed time, lore and the typing needed to breed it ex. Fire and earth for hieroglyph.
