I can't attach the pics that show the spell ingredients bug I was talking about, because it says that the forum has exceeded its file attachment limit.
But the point was anyway, if I clicked on, for example, "Mega Flytrap Transformation spell," it showed that I needed 10 Dragon Snaps and 3 Gold Tonic. I could click on "Epic Plume Breeding Tome" it could show that I needed Canopa, Vine, Growth and Venus peppers. This seems to happen if I do the following:
1-View Spells from Sebastian's Snackery
2-Click on at least 4 different spells to view the ingredients needed
3-The 5th spell I click on will show the wrong ingredients, usually the ingredients for one of the previous 4 that I have clicked on.
I'm going to have to try it and see if I can actually get a Mega Flytrap for 10 Dragon Snaps and 3 Gold Tonic...

Nope. I managed to get it to say that I just needed 10 Dragon Snaps and 3 Gold Tonic to do the Mega Flytrap transformation spell, but when I clicked on "Cast Spell" it still knew what the real ingredients were. Shoot! Have any of you managed the Mega dragons? You can't actually breed them I'm guessing?
loric, There is a known issue with the photo attachment on this forum.
What you need to do is upload the photo to another site. There are plenty of free photo sharing sites about to choose from. PhotoBucket,Imgur and Flickr come to mind. There are others. Or you can you a private web site or... Then you need to link to the image on that site
You link the photo like this [img]http://YourPhotoSite/YourPhoto.jpg[/img] You can use jpg, gif and png All the photo sites I have tried give you the code you need via a "Share this phot" button. So you don't need to be tech savvy. Just cut and paste what it gives you. The variant of the sharing code you need is "bbcode"

If you have any problems, I have a step by step guide with photos below:
How to Post Pictures On The Forum This will be using imgur. Make an account and log in. Find and press this upload button: in the top right hand side.
Next you should be presented with this screen:
Be mindful, I am on my iOS iPad, so a computer or android version will probably look slightly different. Now choose the photos you want, in my case, simply by clicking on them. I have a choice from my gallery, but on the computer this will be your computer documents.
Click ok, and the pictures should be presented in a list, ready to upload, as so:
Click "start upload". The upload will take about 5 seconds per picture on a fast iPad or computer. Once it is complete return to "your gallery" of pictures by pressing the back button in the top left corner of the screen.
If you refresh, the uploaded pictures will appear in your gallery. Choose the one you want to upload and you will be presented with something like this, although a different picture, obviously:
Here's the problem; you don't want the link. You want the "Bb code" because that is what can be integrated into forums. You want this because then anyone in the forum can see. Your picture without having to change browser at all, or even follow a link. For you techno geeks out there, it works similar to how "smileys" work, by implementing coded formats for a different visual representation. To get the Bb code, click on the arrow next to the word "link" (a direct link to the photo) and you should get a drop down menu. Select the option saying "bb code", like so:
Your code will start with img in square brackets, "[" and "]". And end in /img in the same brackets.
Copy this code and then paste it into the forum and ta-da there is your photo.
This may seem complicated, but it's great because I can screenshot something, get on imgur and upload it within a few clicks.
Proof that this works can be found in the pictures I provided in this guide as visual aid.
Hope this works for you
No longer active on DragonVale! *briefly back online*
I think they are revamping the Quests and they will be back. They need to use Quests as more of a training tool for players. Maybe Quests of the future will be tied to helping players understand the breeding dynamics of the game and help acquiring the rare dragons. I also noticed that as I leveled higher the bonuses given out jumped. Maybe they realized players were able to level up too quickly and they are trying to slow us down.
Just hit level 50 (which is max atm) and here are some tips:
Powerleveling: Build small Fairy habitats for 500k (takes 3 hours). When finished, sell it. You will get 500k exp each time and when you sell it you will get 250k gold back. This method is better than buying decorations because you only get half exp of the spent amount.
Making gold: Grow dragon fruits and sell them for max price in the market. (15000 gold for each)

Welcome to the forum. Great to have you here.
And thanks for the tips.
I upgraded a Fairy habitat the other day and I think I got 2 million XP for my 1 million buying price. I need to repeat the process to check, but I remember thinking a million will get me close to levelling up, but instead, I levelled up and had 768,000 XP in to my next level.
Fletch_smf, the airship dock is being built near the Market. It'll be another day before the building's completed.
Other new stuff I've noted:
Boosts that are passed on through breeding are no longer permanent, but it seems like they'll last for another 23 days.
There's no more spell to help you breed the epic dragons. All my artifacts for those spells (Plume artifacts for example) have been removed with no apparent compensation in any form.
The Mega spells now just need the one Mega Stone, without any extra foods.
Now, instead of spells to help you breed enchanted forms (BFS's new names for variants), you get spells that seem to help you turn an existing dragon into an enchanted form.
Not terribly keen on the new looks for the eggs.
I guess this is what it's like to play a soft-launched game. Random and major changes without any warning. Oh well.

Dissappointed that they have removed the collection of dragon levels at the locations to unlock the decorations. I can understand why they did it, but it was a great goal to work towards. Now there is no reason to be sending dragons to the Locations at all, except as storage, like a mini hibernation cave for each location element.
Will archive all the old information (need to create a new board for that) and replace it with the new info.
Collecting the required food for the spells should be easier. And I see you can increase the amount you spend/collect which will increase the chance of collecting a bonus element at the same time. I'm assuming those bonus elements are for the Megastones, which are the only artefacts remaining.
- no more inhabitants bearing food related tasks - updating farm will increase from 75 to 125 food items (iso 100) - got all de decos all of a sudden - the airship obviously. Took me a sec to find it too, dunno what its supposed to do, probably lead to more tasks (and ways to earn more xp) - the exploration option changed. Don't know what to make of it (I still had two dragons looking for food; both left in a hurry I guess -no xp or food in return) - more options for exploring the islands (chosing dragons, time, food and corresponding xp) - the eggs' appearance changed - some features such as lighting up certain options in the game - the actual number of tasks available has been added
My airship has docked! This seems to be a replacement for the food jobs. Currently, I'm supposed to fill the order for 8 + 8 Dragon Snaps (they're separate jobs), 8 Dragon Roots, and a Fire dragon with at least level 4 (the dragon will return when the airship returns). I used a Fire Enchanted Fire dragon with level 5, and am waiting for my farms to free up to grow the Dragon Snaps. There's a time of 16 hours from the moment the airship docked, and the game says that filling all the jobs will earn bonus XP and cash.

My NPCs with gifts seems to have dramatically reduced as well. I think there is only 1 person with a gift now at Level 37? Am holding off on collecting until I can see if others get added.
Hey cecilia, we don't know when the game will be released worldwide. As you can see, BFS has just recently released a major update overhauling the game significantly, and they've been doing this quite a few times. My game's been crashing and returning to the splash image very often, so BFS definitely needs to work out a great bunch of kinks before the game is ready.
I'd thought soft launching a game meant that it was nearly ready, but after playing DV World I no longer think that to be the case. A lot of the work that Fletch_smf has done is now obsolete because of these constant changes to the game.
Sorry to answer your simple question with a complicated answer and kind of a rant! I definitely hope BFS can work out all the problems soon and launch the game worldwide. It's definitely more fun when there's a whole community playing the same game!

Hello community! I NEED HELP! I have a problem trying to play DV World on the new patch. I can start the app but when i press "Play!" it says: "Old Version detected" and i can either press "Download update" or "Play older Profile". If i press "Download update" it opens appstore and it says i already got the latest version(which is true i just patched the game(probably march 22)). If i press "play older profile it just closes the "old version detected" window and im back to the "Play!" button. How do i solve this? I just wanna play my old account on the new patch!
If you have any ideas PLEASE post them!
//Smurf ps. I have iphone6 with the latest IOS update (9.3) and i updated the game super recently(probably march 22). I have never played the game on another device and have never had trubble with the game before.
