But how do you go about breeding? This guide will tell you. 

How To Breed Dragons in Dragonvale World

To breed your dragons, they must be Level 4 or higher. This can be done easily with a quick burst of feeding. You then place a pair of them in a breeding area such as the Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island. 

The order you combine them in can produce different results, depending on which one is on the left side vs. the right side. The hatching time also varies by combination. 

Sometimes, your breeding pair produces a rare (3 star) or enchanted (4 star) offspring. But, there’s no guarantee.

Common dragons can also be purchased from the market or Dragonarium.

Imagine Dragons

Rare dragons may occur during the breeding process. Upgrading from the Breeding Cave to the Epic Breeding Island will help improve your chances of creating one of these hard-to-find beasts.

But, otherwise it’s simply trial and error and blind chance.

Epic Dragons

Beyond the level 3 and 4 star dragons are 7 EPIC level dragons and 2 Dragonsai dragons. Obtaining these special creatures seems to require at least one of your breeding pair be an enchanted dragon. Good luck in your pursuits!
