BUILDINGS

To follow is a list of buildings available in the Vale that may be useful to have in the park. They have been listed alphabetically.

For information on the Rift Hibernation Cave and Transfiguration Tower visit the Rift thread 

Please note buildings will only be in the Market if they are not being offered during an event. Any buildings offered during an event are removed from the Market and the Wish Fountain.


Boosts

It is possible to purchase a boost building for each of the ten elements, which will increase the DragonCash output of the dragons with the same elements on their cards.

The boost must be placed on the same island as the dragon and it is only possible to purchase one boost of each element.

The boost increases the base earning rate of a dragon by 30%. It is possible to have more than one boost on an island to boost dragons with more than one element on their card.

Calculations

• 1 boost = Base Rate + (Base Rate x 30%)
• 2 boosts = Base Rate + 2 x (Base Rate x 30%)
• 3 boosts = Base Rate + 3 x (Base Rate x 30%)
• etc

The boost works for all dragons that have an element on their card, not just hybrid dragons. Eg Iden is an Epic Dream dragon, but also has the Plant, Air and Dark element on its card and can been boosted by the Plant, Air and/or Dark boost building. Ideb is one of the highest earning boosted dragons.

All boosts can be purchased for 250,000 DragonCash in the Market. They take 6 hours to build.

There is also a Monolith Boost which is available in the Market for 25 gems. This gives Monolith dragons an 20% boost on their base rate.  It is occasionally offered in an Event.

Fountain of Youth

The Fountain of Youth was introduced to the game on 21 February 2012. 

The Fountain of Youth can turn adult dragons to juvenile or baby dragons. All it takes is a bit of time. This procedure can also be reversed and change your dragon to look like an adult again.

It takes 6 hours to change a dragon one stage, 12 hours for two stages and 18 hours for three stages. For example to change an Elder dragon to a Baby dragon will take 18 hours. There are four possible stages of a dragon - Elder-Adult-Juvenile-Baby.

The Fountain of Youth only changes the appearance of a dragon. The earning rate, orbs and ability to breed remain the same.

Note. A dragon must be level 10 before it can be used in the Fountain of Youth.

The Hibernation Cave can be upgrading using gems. During an Expansion Extravaganza upgrades are half price.

Players will often keep duplicates of dragons in the Hibernation Cave as if they require another of that dragon, it is easier to breed another using two dragons the same.

The Hibernation Cave can be purchased for 3,141,592 DragonCash in the Market.

Tip. Using Kairos will advance the time on the Greenhouses. If possible, collect from the Greenhouses before using Kairos.

Note. These buildings, which can be owned and placed in a park, are not to be confused with MaGoody’s Magical Greenhouse which appears on an event island. This greenhouse also gives free treats and regenerates at daily game reset.

Note. The Rift is not affected by the Prismatic Pantheon – it remains in colour.

For a full explanation of Dragon Draw and how it works, please visit the Dragon Draw thread


Treat Farms

Treat farms grow treats to enable a player to feed their dragons to increase their levels. A higher level dragon has better breeding odds and higher DragonCash earning rates.

There are five different Treat Farms :
• Treat Farm – cost 100 DragonCash
• Large Treat Farm – cost 25,000 DragonCash
• Huge Treat Farm – cost 750,000 DragonCash
• Grand Treat Farm – cost 5,000,000 DragonCash
• Towering Treat Farm – cost 25 gems

A maximum of twelve Treat farms can be placed in a park. There is also a limit to the number of Treat Farms that a park can have based on the level of the park.

When the treats are available to harvest a treat icon will appear above the Treat Farm. Harvest can be sped up by using gems.

Occasionally during an event a Towering Treat Reward Farm may be offered that can be purchased for event currency.

Not all Treat Farms can grow all varieties of treats. For example there are 20 different treats available to grow but a Large Treat Farm is only able to grow seven of them.

Tip Treat Farms can be upgraded to a larger Treat Farm using DragonCash but it costs the same amount of DragonCash to upgrade a Treat Farm as it does to purchase it outright. Eg to upgrade a Large Treat Farm to a Huge Treat Farm it costs 750,000 DragonCash. Instead of upgrading, sell the Large Treat Farm for 12,500 and purchase the Huge Treat Farm for 750,000.
