The Rift is another dimension of DragonVale. A remnant of the Cataclysm first introduced with the Roar of the Rift event, it became a permanent feature of DragonVale in September 2017. The Rift unlocks at park level 28, providing opportunities for players to discover new dragons and explore an entirely new imagination of DragonVale.
The Rift, and more specifically the Rift Breeding Cave, is the only place that dragons with the Rift element can be bred. The magic of the Etherium allows players to combine dragons in the Rift Breeding Cave and produce instantaneous results. Dragons with the Rift element will possess an elemental Trait which is inherited from its parents and from the Rift's own elemental Alignments.
THE RIFT: CLEARING FOG
The Miasmic Ether of the Rift, a vestigial force of the Cataclysm, prevents exploration and development wherever it amasses. Fortunately, you can dispel Light Miasmic Ether using Etherium. Once the Ether is cleared, the unveiled area becomes a permanent part of your Riftspace, and previously adjacent Dark Miasmic Ether will turn to Light.
Unfortunately, the magic of Etherium is not strong enough to directly dispel Dark Miasmic Ether. You will need to clear nearby Miasmic Ether first.
Etherium, the magical essence of the Rift, can be earned from a number of sources
• Collecting from Rift Habitats within the Rift; largest Rift habitat (regal) can hold a maximum of 200 Etherium • Finding and tapping on Spiral Vortices in the Rift every day • Releasing newly hatched Dragons from the Rift Breeding Cave • Completing the Airships for Etherium rewards • Correctly completing Quests and winning at the Dragon Track
THERIFT: AIRSHIPS
The five great houses of DragonVale have joined in the effort to help discover the Rift. Once you've selected a House, your Airship will appear inside the Rift.
Periodically, these Airships will have requests that can be completed in exchange for Etherium. Any dragons borrowed by your house will be returned after a short while.
TRAITS
Traits are elemental expressions within individual dragon types. A dragon Trait is cloely tied to its appearance. All Rift dragons possess at least one Trait. Rift hybrids can have many different appearances, or "Traits."
Traits are inherited from parent dragons or the Rift;s alignment. You can try experimenting with different Traits to see which combinations are possible on dragons, or by examining their information within the Dragonarium.
TRAITS: AVAILABILITY
Not all Traits can be applied to every Rift element dragon. Some dragons can only have one Trait. These dragons will only ever express this one Trait.
Additionally, some dragons are not eligible for Rift elements or Traits at all. But the wizards and witches are discovering new Rift dragons all the time!
TRAITS: UNLOCKING
Traits are unlocked per type of dragon. Foe example, if an Ash Dragon unlocks the Fire Trait, every Rift element Ash Dragon can have that Fire Trait applied to them. Once unlocked, dragon Traits can be changed at the Transfiguration Tower.
If you do not possess a Transfiguration Tower, it can be found within the Miasmic Ether of the Rift.
THERIFT: MOVINGDRAGONS
You can move dragons to and from the Rift using the Rift Gate. This building allows you to move a few dragons to and from the Rift at any given time. You can either place dragons into the Rift Gate, and they will move automatically to the other side. Alternatively, you can open the Rift Gate and select which dragons you wish to move.
THE RIFT: ALIGNMENT
Within the Rift, the chaotic nature of magic causes the very elemental fabric of the Rift to change from day to day. This is referred to as the Rift's "Alignment." This Alignment has an effect on the breeding of dragons within the Rift, making it more likely that dragons with the current Rift's alignment result from breeds. Given enough Etherium, the Alignment of the Rift can be temporarily changed via the Rift Gate.
RIFT ALIGNMENT: DAILY ORDER
Plant • Fire • Earth • Cold • Lightning • Water • Air • Metal • Light • Dark

Breeding tip from Arkynos : the new Rift dragons the easy, but not necessarily quickest way.
ABRAXAS: lightning + dark + lightning alignment Your Rift must be aligned to Lightning element to breed this.
ALPENGLOW: light + earth + lightning trait You'll need a Lightning trait Earth or Light hybrid. Lightning Rift and Earth/Light Rift will get you one that will work. Breed that with whichever of Light/Earth you didn't use to get it.
ANTUMBRA: light + dark + earth alignment 1) Your Rift must be aligned to Earth element to breed this. 2) Use Dark Rift + Alpenglow, or Light Rift + Voltaic. 3a) If you don't have Alpenglow/Voltaic, breed Dark/Light Rift with any other basic Rift dragon to get a Rift hybrid with a Dark/Light element. 3b) Breed the dragon you got in 3a with the other basic Light/Dark Rift dragon that you didn't use to get it.
BLIGHTWING: fire + air + dark trait You'll need a Dark trait Fire or Air hybrid. Dark Rift and Fire/Air Rift will result in one within a few breeds. Breed that with the other element Rift dragon that you didn't use, as per Alpenglow.
FROSTFLUFF: cold + earth + cold alignment Your Rift must be aligned to Cold element to breed this.
GHAST: light + dark + fire trait 1) Breed Dark Rift or Light Rift with Fire Rift to get a Watch/Dungeon/Heat/Ember dragon with a Fire Trait. 2) Breed the dragon you got in 1 with the other basic Light/Dark Rift dragon that you didn't use to get it.
KAMPOS: any two dragons + water trait Breed literally anything with Water Rift, or any other Rift dragon with a Water trait. Can easily double up breeding for this with other dragons on this list.
LACUNA: Mirage with water trait + Shadow with air trait Try light rift and miasma/howl, and dark rift and lotus/shimmer. Thanks SteelBluminati Confirmed!
NIMBUS: fire + water + light trait You'll need a light trait Fire or Water hybrid
PEARLESCENT: Prism with light trait + Starwing with dark trait This is a locked breeding combo
PLUMEWING: any two dragons + air trait Breed literally anything with Air Rift, or any other Rift dragon with an Air trait. Can easily double up breeding for this with other dragons on this list.
SANDSCALE: earth + light + light alignment Your Rift must be aligned to Light element to breed this.
SNOWSQUALL: cold + water + cold trait No fancy things needed here, Cold Rift + Water Rift will give you this. You may want to mix it up a bit though, you'll get a lot of repeat breeds if you just put those in until you get it. Just make sure you have both elements and the Cold trait accounted for between the two dragons.
SPORE: plant + metal + plant trait Opposite elements. You'll need a hybrid of Plant or Metal. Plant Rift and any Metal Hybrid is the easiest because the Plant Rift covers the needed trait, but a Plant trait Plant hybrid + Metal Rift is good too.
THUNDERBIRD: earth + lightning + fire trait any earth and lightning rift elements, just one (minimum) needs to have a fire trait. You could use Rift fire quake or crystal, or just use them (or rift earth and rift lightning) during the rift alignment fire.
TUMBLETHORN: plant + earth + earth trait any plant and earth rift elements, just one (minimum) needs to have a earth trait.
VIRIDIAN: Dodo with fire trait + Malachite Dragon with light trait 1) Breed Fire Rift and Air Rift to get a Blazing/Smoke dragon with a Fire trait. 2) Breed Earth Rift and the Blazing/Smoke dragon with a Fire trait from step 1, to get a Dodo dragon with a Fire trait. 3) Breed Light Rift and Plant Rift to get a Meadow/Luminous dragon with a Light trait. 4) Breed Metal Rift and the Meadow/Luminous dragon with a Light trait from step 3, to get a Malachite dragon with a Light trait. 5) Breed the dragons bred in steps 2 and 4 together.
VOLTAIC: dark + lightning + dark trait Same as Snowsquall, Dark Rift + Lightning Rift works as a basic combo. Again, mix and match as you please while accounting for the elements. Actually, you can do that with all of the special Rifts bar Zaffer and Viridian I think.
ZAFFER: Blue Fire with air trait + Plasma with metal trait 1) Breed Air Rift with Cold Rift to get a Snow/Blizzard dragon with an Air trait. 2) Breed Fire Rift and the Snow/Blizzard dragon with an Air trait from step 1, to get a Blue Fire dragon with an Air trait. 3) Breed Metal Rift and Water Rift to get a Rust/Quicksilver dragon with a Metal trait. 4) Breed Lightning Rift and the Rust/Quicksilver dragon with a Metal trait from step 3, to get a Plasma dragon with a Metal trait. 5) Breed the dragons bred in steps 2 and 4 together.
LIMITED RIFT DRAGONS
CHROMACORN: Rainbow Dragon + Double Rainbow Dragon The Rift’s first limited dragon! Breeding pair is a locked combo, so no getting around the massive number of breeding fails. G’luck!
CORRUPTICORN: Evolve dragon The Rift’s first evolve dragon! All 10 Flame of Corruption variations must be placed in the Vale. Select the Chromacorn dragon and click the Evolve button to change Chromacorn into Corrupticorn.
NOX: Antumbra + Voltaic This is a locked breeding combo.
RIGEL: players must own all Galaxy dragons (in their park and/or Rift); breed any two traited Galaxy dragons in the Rift. The Rift’s first Galaxy dragon! And it comes with rules and requirements. Procyon + Procyon is the best breeding pair with the least number of fails, but since traited Galaxy dragons can only be acquired from the mystery eggs, chances are players won’t have two Procyons, so check the DV sandbox for the best combo with the dragons you own.
SPECTRAPOD: Chromacorn + Kampos This is a locked breeding combo.
VAUL: earth + metal + dark trait any earth and metal rift elements, just one (minimum) needs to have a dark trait. Dragonvale's 11th Anniversary Dragon
YOLKWING: any two dragons, as long as at least one parent dragon has a fire trait. Note: Rift Fire dragon + Rift Fire dragon will not produce Yolkwing. Try Rift Fire dragon + Blue Fire (or another dragon with the fire element to reduce the number of breeding fails).

COST TO UPGRADE RIFT HABITATS
500 Etherium to upgrade Regular-->Reputable 1000 Etherium to upgrade Reputable-->Revitalized 2500 Etherium to upgrade Revitalized-->Refined 5000 Etherium to upgrade Refined-->Regal
STRATEGIES FOR PURCHASING VERSUS UPGRADING RIFT HABITATS
01/40: Tutorial (Regular) 02/40: Tutorial 03/40: 200 04/40: 250 05/40: 300 06/40: 350 07/40: 400 08/40: 450 <- After buying this, upgrade all Regular to Reputable, 500 Etherium adds one more Habitat slot AND a higher total Etherium cap. i.e. 500 on a Regular gets you +1 dragon, +30 cap, upgrading a Regular to Reputable gets you +1 Dragon and +35 Eth Cap
09/40: 500 10/40: 550 11/40: 600 12/40: 650 13/40: 700 14/40: 900 <- After buying this, upgrade all Reputable to Revitalised, 1100 on a Regular gets you +1 dragon, +35 cap, but upgrading a Reputable to Revitalised is 1000 and +1 dragon +35 cap. 15/40: 1100 16/40: 1500 17/40: 2000 <- After buying this, upgrade all Revitalised to Refined, 2500 on a Regular gets you +1 dragon, +30 cap, but upgrading a Revitalised to Refined is 2500 and +1 dragon +35 cap. 18/40: 2500 19/40: 3000 20/40: 4000 <- After buying this, upgrade all Refined to Regal, 5000 on a Regular gets you +1 dragon, +30 cap, but upgrading a Refined to Regal is 5000 and +1 dragon +65 cap.
Note from mapgac: upgrading to Regals will require a fair bit more space, so more Miasma to clear. I don't know where the balance point is, where buying more Refined habitats become dearer than upgrading current Refineds to Regals, factoring in the extra clearing costs. But from here, I'm am just planning to buy Regulars and upgrade them straight to Regal.
Since rolling with Tiamat/Bahamut will probably be important now, here's the average expected value of rolling for +1 on rift-types at various levels. Surprisingly, it's different from normal dragons.

The winners are: level 17 if you do not use gems to add +1 to your roll, and level 19 otherwise.
So this morning before I started creating this post I moved my Level 20 Spore through the Rift Gate. After the 2 hour hold I bred it with the Level 10 Plant Rift they gave us in the tutorial. It gave me a mutant Metal dragon which I am now trying to move back to my original park. Moving dragons back and forth because you don't have space/habitat is definately going to be a bottleneck.

So just a little House dragon observation:
Blazing Gale may have lost the magical essence gathering race but we are still the team in First.
We start start this game with our Majestic Blazing Gale dragon and the regal Blightwing dragon (see first post of this thread with screen shot of updated game start screen)😁😁😁😁😁
Team Blazing Gale by its very nature must move at a controlled pace to let all the Valers experience the inherent regal essence we bless our vassals with as we pass by! 🤴🏻👸🏼👑🥇
With the demise of game centre I just started in FB to be able to friend people from this forum and join in on the fun. Please message me if you want to send a friend request so I know to watch for you😊, I never check FB otherwise. I'm deleting random requests way too many of those 😮.
Still waiting for my mutant Metal dragon to move to my original park. We're going to need a bigger Rift Gate!
So in the meantime, I clicked on the bit of Light Miasmic Ether just above the crooked tower spire:
It told me I could clear it for 250, which I did and this black blotch popped up:
Which when I click on the now lighter area at the bottom right of the black blotch, it says it can be cleared for 320, even though just before it was not clearable at all.
Thanks for that! Based on the photo below from that FAQ page, I am trying to figure out where the Transfiguration Tower is so I can concentrate on clearing that area next. Also, it does not appear that we can visit the Rift portion of any of our friends' parks. If anyone figures out a way, post it here.
Has anyone stumbled across anything of interest whilst unlocking a section of Light Miasmic Ether?
We probably should try to keep track of where all the goodies are placed. Probably behind all the expensive pieces!
When I visited N/A 's park he has revealed 2 more habitats. Post a pic, sbf?
I just visited as usual and tapped his Rift icon in the bottom of screen lineup. Took me right in.
When you go to the Rift section of your park, click on 'MARKET' then 'HABITATS' and they will show up there if you have enough to buy them. They do not show up in the Market of your main park.

Platform: Android Accepting New Gifts: No new Gem-Friends at the moment, but new friends (nessa.vivien) for coop via fb are always appreciated. :-)
I think we get an even better hint where to find the transfiguration tower.
PS: I still really dislike this whole rift thing. To me, it's not a gift to us players, seems just something BFS wants to earn much money with. I hope this feeling changes, but right now it does not feel like the game I loved so much and played for such a long time.
Nessa, this is exactly what I am feeling, this extension is tailord to make money for BFS. Now you pay to breed, was 200 thinggy for first breeds, now it is already 1000 ! And you will need a LOT of breedings to get the required mixes of - for ex. Blue fire with air traight and then Plasma with metal straight in order to be able to breed Zaffer. Of course you will have piles of fails whch you can repatriate to your park but there too it is already crowded and your Hibernation place is getting full. Your gems are becoming of lesser use so ... switch to buying essence .... I cut the music, can t stand it, and now even cutting the noises, can t sand it either. I think i will look in there from time to time, play with my park for a while and will slowly turn to other activities.

It appears etherium is to slow down breeding. Can't afford the cost? Wait until tomorrow and costs will be reset. It is just like early game when you hoard gems and use them only when necessary. For this dimension, we are on a more level playing field with newer players (esp with a lvl 25ish min to even get in). No, you cannot burn. Through all the content using stockpiled goods

Breeding is not the only thing that increases in cost with every use. Clearing the fog is the same thing. I went all around the edge of the open area tapping on fog groupings to check the cost.
Clear Little fog clusters 1st 50E 2nd 65E 3rd 80E 4th 105E
Large fog clusters 1st 250E 2nd 320E 3rd 405E 4th 515E
😲😲😲😲😝😝😝😝😝😝😝😝 Thoroughly disappointed with BF today!!! This could change as the days go on but got a double whammy from BF today on both my DV &DVW games. So a little pessimistic right now but looking for the rainbows 🌈 ahead.
