Happy 11th Anniversary DragonVale Community Forum!
The DragonVale Community Forum will be celebrating its 11th anniversary in April, and to celebrate, it has sprung into the fun! We are hosting a boatload of contests and games, including The Spoiler Contest, Easter Egg Scavenger Hunt, and a new permanent board dedicated to games, including FIND THE, Word Scramble, and Two Word Story.
The Spoiler Contest begins right now…
The Spoiler Contest will reveal the name of an unreleased Thawsome Spring dragon. Players guess what the dragon will look like by answering a series of multiple choice questions. The five players who earn the most points by answering the questions correctly win 50 gems!
But that’s not all, in addition to the gems from Deca Games, you’ll also receive an animated butterfly background on your mini profile for one month and the special title The Spoiler Contest Winner. You may have noticed my mini profile has springtime butterflies. They can be yours, if you're one of the five winners of The Spoiler Contest!
Many thanks to OboeKade for creating the Spoiler Contest poster!
The Scavenger Hunt begins on April 6th…
Come celebrate the DragonVale Community Forum’s 11th anniversary with an Easter Egg Hunt! Starting on Thursday, April 6th dragon eggs will be hiding among the pages on the Forum. There will be a special Scavenger Hunt thread with the full details on April 6th, 8.00 am MST.
The top five members who collect the most eggs will forever be emblazoned on the Scavenger Hunt Hall of Fame. And, you’ll receive an animated background of anniversary confetti on your mini profile for a month plus the special title The Scavenger Hunt Winner!

UPCOMING LIMITED BREEDING COMBOS (RECOMMENDED DRAGONS TO BREED)
Given the difficulty many members had breeding new limited dragons during past events, players will probably want to have the following dragons in the Vale and/or Rift, or purchase them from the event market (these dragons are spoiler tagged for those who do not want this information). Please be aware, dragon combos may change at any time.
Dragons are listed alphabetically. Since they are NOT in the order you’ll need them, the breeding combos are showing to ensure you have the complete pair.
RETURNING EVENT DRAGONS
Element Key: = plant = fire = earth = cold = lightning = water = air = metal = light = dark
NOTE: Elements that are in parentheses are the dragon’s epic elements. The above icon elements are the primary elements that the dragon contributes (also called 'hidden elements' for epic dragons because these elements are typically not on the profile card). Knowing the contributing primary elements will help players when cloning dragons.
If you have the 'smiles' feature disabled on your Forum account, you will not see the icons. Instead, you’ll see the text 'plant_1', 'fire_1', etc (without the underscore). On a mobile device, the icons may be cut off. Please view the Forum in its desktop version by tapping Desktop at the bottom of the page, or view this page in landscape to see all the element icons.

This breeding chart was originally created by tornorr . RayRayYash now oversees it and regularly updates the chart on Discord. It includes images of the breeding hints for all the returning dragons in the event market and their eggs. It’s a spectacular resource, and RayRayYash and Tornorr kindly agreed to share it with us. Thank you so much!
And the sensational RayRayYash created a second chart for all evolve dragons! RayRayYash rules!
And RayRayYash didn’t stop there… a brand new Chrysalis Breeding Chart has been released for this event! (Check it out five post below this one)

If you’re new to the Runic Breeding Caves, here’s a description and some tips. If you’re familiar with the caves, here’s a refresher.
WHY ALL THE FUSS?
The Runic Breeding Caves are an event mechanism that allows players to earn event currency. But it’s much different than other features because you can claim dragon eggs from the RBCs to complete your dragon collections. As a result, the RBCs are a beloved part of DragonVale and are always highly anticipated.
Depending on the event, there will either be 5 or 10 RBCs. One RBC is always active. You’ll activate another during the event tutorial, and there’s a Bonus Runic Breeding Cave that will be active during Double Days, and yet another if there’s a Triple Day. The other RBCs need to be activated by a Runestone. You will receive several free Runestones, one during the event tutorial and there may be more from the event’s daily calendar rewards. Any additional Runestones can be purchased from the Market.
If you tap the Info button on a RBC, a description of the cave will appear indicating whether it’s a Bonus Cave for Double or Triple Days.
HOW THE RUNIC BREEDING CAVES WORK
The RBCs are different from the regular breeding caves in several ways:
• When you activate a RBC, it will remain active for one week.
• The breeding times at the RBCs are 75% shorter. So a 24 hour breed will now take 6 hours.
• After you breed an egg, instead of incubating, the egg is added to the Egg History. To access the Egg History, select the Egg History button at a RBC.
• The Egg History applies to all RBCs. If you breed a dragon at one RBC, it will show on the Egg History for every cave, and you can claim the egg at any RBC.
• After you breed a dragon, you’ll receive event currency based on the length of the breed. The amount of currency you’ll earn has changed over the years. Since 2020, for every hour of a dragon’s normal breeding time, you’ll receive 2 event currency, with a maximum of 50 event currency per breed (examples: Lava dragon, which has a 10 hour breeding time, will take 2.5 hours to breed at the RBCs, and will earn 20 event currency. Double Rainbow with a 60 hour breed time will take 15 hours, and payout 50 event currency).
• For every unique dragon you breed at the RBCs, you will receive a bonus of 100 event currency. If you breed the dragon again, there is no bonus. The bonus amount will not increase with Double Days.
CLAIMING EGGS
• To claim an egg, open a cave and tap the Claims Left button. Choose a Dragon will pop-up, just scroll to find the dragon and tap Confirm.
• You can claim ONE egg from each Runic Cave you activate.
• You can claim the egg at any time, even after the cave has been deactivated.
• You can claim the same egg more than once from a different RBC. This is especially helpful for players who want a twin or traited-twin dragon. The RBCs follow the same pattern as the mystery eggs (regular, twin, traited-twin). You only need to breed the dragon once in any RBC, then you can claim the regular version from one cave, the twin from a different cave, and the traited-twin from a third cave.
• Be sure to claim your eggs before the event island is removed (last day to collect event currency). The RBCs depart with the event island.
• TIP: if you’re claiming a traited version of a dragon, tap the '?' on the dragon’s listing in the Choose a Dragon menu. The dragon’s info card will show and you can see what the trait looks like on the dragon. If you don’t like the trait, close Choose a Dragon, click the Claims Left button again, and you’ll be offered a different trait. Repeat until the desired trait appears.
STRATEGIES & TIPS
• Since the RBCs reward 100 event currency for each unique breed, target breeding (cloning) dragons with two of the same dragon (e.g., Satin + Satin) is ideal.
• An effective way to clone dragons at the RBCs is to start with dragons that have 5 or more elements and/or have locked breeding combos. Dragons with locked combos have specific parents in their breeding hint; therefore, they cannot be a breeding fail for another pair.
• After cloning the dragons with 5 or more elements, continue with 4-element and 3-element dragons. By the time you’re done, you should have most of the permanent hybrids bred.
• If you don’t have two of every dragon, start cloning the dragons you have duplicates of with more than 2 elements, then move on to single parent cloning (target dragon + another dragon). Cloning two of the same dragon has a much higher breeding percentage than using the breeding hint or single parent cloning. Breed the permanent hybrids and primary dragons last.
• You will probably want a checklist of all the dragons listed by their RBC reduced breeding time. On Quil’s DragonVale Compendium, there is a Runic Breeding Caves spreadsheet to plan and keep track of your RBC breeds.
• Keep an eye on the RBCs activation timers. Just before an RBC deactivates, breed a dragon with a long breeding time. When the cave expires, the breed will be complete. Insta-breed!
• Before deploying Kairos, try to fill the RBCs with dragons that have long breeding / incubation times. You can use gems to speed up RBC breeds.
• If you keep your park in black and white, it’s difficult to notice that a RBC is lit up and activated. This has resulted in some players forgetting to breed in the Double Days cave. You may want to keep your park in colour when the RBCs are in the game.
• If you’re new to DragonVale, and don’t have a lot of dragons, breeding two dragons that have all 10 elements (e.g., Rainbow + Double Rainbow), will yield a wide diversity of dragons. Be sure to use two different dragons. Breeding two of the same will greatly increase your chances of breeding that dragon over and over.
• The RBCs are extremely beneficial and will help you acquire some of the dragons you need. Try to breed the new event dragons and the returning limited dragons you don’t own, so at the end of the event, you can claim the ones you weren’t able to breed in the Cooperative, Vale, or Rift.
• Wait until the end of the event to make your egg claims! You never know what you’ll breed during the event.
RUNIC BREEDING CAVE BUGS
• When using gems to speed up breeding, the gem cost can reset late, or not at all. This is an ongoing bug since the inception of the RBCs. It was reported to Backflip and has been reported to Deca.
• Lunis and Solis cause crashes when they’re successfully bred at the RBCs. As a result, Lunis and Solis are usually unavailable if the RBCs are in the game. Please check the breeding hints and Dragonarium to ensure they’re available before attempting to breed them.
ADDITIONAL INFO
• Be sure to keep track of the RBCs you activate. You do not want to activate a cave that has already been activated, since you can claim an egg from every cave that has been activated during the course of the event.
• Once you purchase Runestones, you can use them at any time. Click on a Runic Cave, and in the upper right corner your Runestone counter will show. Tap on it, or on the RBC Breed button, and you’ll be asked if you want to activate the cave with a Runestone.
• Monolith and Snowflake eggs are identical, so if you need to know which Monolith or Snowflake dragon you bred in the RBCs, click on the Egg History button, then tap the Claims Left button to see the list of dragons.
• Runestones have never been offered at a discount. That doesn’t mean it’ll never happen, but it seems highly unlikely.
• There are two deadlines for every event: (1) last day to collect event currency, and (2) last day to buy items at the event market. The Runic Breeding Caves will depart when you can no longer collect event currency. Be sure to claim your eggs before then. If you do not, the game will give you Motley eggs.
Just a note to those that may use the Compendium to track their Runic Cave eggs:
The tab is a static list, while the rest of the Compendium is updated automatically from our source information. That means if you haven't used the tab in quite a while, it will be out of date. There is a field in the top right of that tab that lets you update the information on that page. In that yellow box where it says to Enter 'update' or 'reset', just type update there and hit enter. It should take a few seconds, and you'll see all of the new dragons will be added to the checklist since it was last used, along with updates to what can be bred and cloned.
If you used it last year and have checkmarks everywhere, you can also type reset in that same field to clear them all out.

Since the Chrysalis dragons are in the event market, here’s the breeding guide to obtain all 17 Chrysalis dragons.
THE BREAKDOWN: You will need at least 5 Chrysalis dragons to breed all 17 dragons in the Chrysalis collection. From the outer circle, acquire 3 of the 5 base dragons. Be sure all 3 dragons are not next to each other (e.g., Duskwing, Chrysalis, Marbletail = 👍. Duskwing, Chrysalis, Swallowtail = 👎). In addition, you will need Starwing with a dark trait and Prism with a light trait.

Interesting, you'd think Dapplethorn would be a golden but its egg says otherwise...
It's in the Elemental section of the Dragonarium and doesn't have an hourglass, so maybe it's similar to Bramble? But it is odd that they haven't finished the golden hybrids of dark-water before doing that. 🤷♀️
