Unearthing the Past: A Comprehensive Guide to Breeding the Trilobite Dragon in DragonVale
So, you’re looking to add a Trilobite Dragon to your DragonVale park? Excellent choice! This ancient-inspired dragon is a fantastic addition, bringing a touch of prehistoric mystique to your collection. The process, like many in DragonVale, is straightforward but understanding the nuances can significantly increase your chances of success.
To directly answer your question: The Trilobite Dragon can be bred by using a Rhinotorch Dragon and a Faux Dragon, in either order, at any Breeding Cave.
Now, let’s dive into the details and explore some frequently asked questions to ensure your breeding efforts are fruitful.
Understanding the Breeding Combination
The core of breeding any specific dragon in DragonVale lies in understanding the required combination. For the Trilobite Dragon, this means pairing a Rhinotorch Dragon and a Faux Dragon. The order in which you place these dragons in the Breeding Cave doesn’t matter; the game checks for the presence of both, not their arrangement.
- Rhinotorch Dragon: This dragon is a hybrid itself, requiring specific dragons to breed (more on that later).
- Faux Dragon: The Faux Dragon is another key component, bringing a unique element to the equation.
The breeding can occur in any Breeding Cave, including the standard Breeding Cave and the Epic Breeding Island.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Breeding the Trilobite Dragon
1. What if I don’t have a Rhinotorch Dragon or a Faux Dragon?
If you’re missing either of the parent dragons, you’ll need to obtain them first. Let’s start with Rhinotorch Dragon first.
2. How do I breed a Rhinotorch Dragon?
The Rhinotorch Dragon can be bred by using a Marbletail Dragon and a Swallowtail Dragon, in either order, at any Breeding Cave. So you will need to obtain those first.
3. How do I breed a Marbletail Dragon?
The Marbletail Dragon can be bred by using a Swallowtail Dragon and a Chrysalis Dragon at the Breeding Cave.
4. How do I breed a Swallowtail Dragon?
The Swallowtail Dragon can be bred by using a Leaf Dragon and a Firefly Dragon in the Breeding Cave.
5. How do I breed the Faux Dragon?
The Faux Dragon can be bred by using a Duskwing Dragon and a Chrysalis Dragon at the Breeding Cave.
6. What level do my dragons need to be for breeding?
Your dragons must be at least level 4 to be eligible for breeding. Leveling them up can be achieved by feeding them treats. Higher levels don’t necessarily increase your chances of getting the Trilobite Dragon, but they might slightly improve the odds of breeding in general.
7. Does using the upgraded Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island increase my chances?
While the upgraded Breeding Cave and Epic Breeding Island don’t explicitly increase the probability of breeding a specific dragon, they do reduce the breeding time. This allows you to attempt more breeding cycles in the same timeframe, effectively increasing your overall chances in the long run.
8. What is the breeding time for the Trilobite Dragon?
The breeding time for the Trilobite Dragon is 15 hours. The hatching time is the same at 15 hours. If you see this breeding time in your Breeding Cave, it’s a good sign you might have successfully bred a Trilobite!
9. Can I speed up the breeding process?
Yes, you can use gems to speed up the breeding process. However, it’s generally advisable to save your gems for other purposes, such as upgrading habitats or purchasing unique dragons. Patience is a virtue in DragonVale!
10. What happens if I breed the Rhinotorch and Faux Dragons and don’t get a Trilobite Dragon?
Breeding is inherently probabilistic in DragonVale. If you don’t get a Trilobite Dragon on your first try, you’ll likely get a common hybrid dragon or one of the dragons you used in the breeding pair (Rhinotorch or Faux). Keep trying! Persistence is key.
11. Are there any events or times when the breeding odds for the Trilobite Dragon are increased?
Occasionally, DragonVale hosts special events that can influence breeding odds. Keep an eye on the in-game news and announcements to see if there are any limited-time events that might boost your chances of breeding a Trilobite Dragon.
12. What habitat does the Trilobite Dragon need?
The Trilobite Dragon requires an Earth Habitat. Make sure you have enough space in your park and the necessary habitats available before your egg hatches!
13. Is the Trilobite Dragon a limited-time dragon?
No, the Trilobite Dragon is not a limited-time dragon. This means you can attempt to breed it at any time, unlike dragons that are only available during specific events.
14. Where can I learn more about DragonVale strategies and dragon combinations?
There are several excellent online resources and DragonVale communities where you can find helpful tips, breeding guides, and interact with other players. Consider joining a DragonVale forum or checking out fan-made websites dedicated to the game. You can also look into the work of organizations like the Games Learning Society, which explores the educational and social aspects of gaming. Their website, GamesLearningSociety.org, offers insights into how games foster learning and collaboration. The Games Learning Society brings together researchers and educators interested in the intersection of games and learning.
15. What are the elements associated with the Trilobite Dragon?
The Trilobite Dragon has the Earth and Light elements. This is important to keep in mind when choosing the right habitat.
Advanced Breeding Strategies
While the basic breeding combination is key, there are a few advanced strategies that experienced DragonVale players use to optimize their breeding efforts.
- Wishful Breeding: If you have access to the Wishing Well, you can use a wish to directly obtain a Rhinotorch Dragon or a Faux Dragon, eliminating the need to breed them. This can be a significant time-saver.
- Cooperative Breeding Cave: While the Trilobite Dragon cannot be bred solely in the Cooperative Breeding Cave, breeding a dragon with a friend who already has one of the parent dragons (Rhinotorch or Faux) can diversify your breeding attempts and potentially lead to unexpected results.
- Dragonarium: Using the Dragonarium, you can search your entire park and breeding history for each dragon.
Conclusion: Embracing the Breeding Journey
Breeding the Trilobite Dragon, like all breeding endeavors in DragonVale, is a journey of patience, experimentation, and a bit of luck. By understanding the required combination, utilizing available resources, and employing strategic approaches, you can significantly increase your chances of adding this magnificent dragon to your park. Good luck, and happy breeding!
