So, you’re yearning for a Blue Moon Dragon to grace your DragonVale park? Excellent choice! These captivating creatures are a prize for any breeder. The good news is, breeding a Blue Moon Dragon isn’t as elusive as the astronomical event it’s named after. The straightforward answer: the Blue Moon Dragon can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, containing the Cold and Lightning elements at any Breeding Cave. However, there’s more to it than just slapping any old Cold and Lightning dragons together. Let’s dive into the details to increase your chances of success!
Understanding the Breeding Mechanics
While the core requirement is having both the Cold and Lightning elements present in your breeding pair, certain dragon combinations are more fruitful than others. Remember, DragonVale utilizes a complex algorithm that takes into account the levels of your dragons, the specific dragons being bred, and a healthy dose of luck.
Think of it like a recipe. You know you need eggs and flour to make a cake, but the quality of those ingredients, and the precise amounts, will drastically affect the final product. The same applies here. Leveling your dragons to level 10 increases your chances of success significantly. Higher-level dragons generally have a better chance of producing rare or epic dragons.
Consider starting with a Thunder Dragon and a Snow Dragon. These are readily available and possess the required elements. As you progress and obtain more powerful dragons, you can explore other combinations like:
- Ice Dragon + Storm Dragon
- Cold Dragon + Lightning Dragon
- Blue Fire Dragon (possesses both elements) + any dragon
Experimentation is key! Keep a record of your breeding attempts, noting the dragons used, their levels, and the outcome. This data will help you identify which combinations work best for you.
The Role of the Breeding Cave
You can use either the standard Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island to breed your Blue Moon Dragon. The Epic Breeding Island has a slightly increased breeding success rate. The cooperative breeding cave cannot breed a bluemoon dragon unless a bluemoon dragon is available as a parent from a friend.
Patience and Persistence
Breeding a Blue Moon Dragon can take time. Don’t be discouraged if your first few attempts yield different results. Many players breed dozens of times before finally getting their elusive dragon. Use the fails as an opportunity to earn extra experience and dragon cash.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Here are some frequently asked questions about breeding the Blue Moon Dragon, designed to address common concerns and provide even more helpful insights.
1. What Level Do My Dragons Need to Be?
Ideally, your dragons should be level 10 or higher. While it’s possible to breed a Blue Moon Dragon with lower-level dragons, the odds are significantly reduced. Investing the time and resources to level up your dragons is a smart move for any serious breeder.
2. Can I Breed a Blue Moon Dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave?
No, unless a friend has a Blue Moon Dragon available in their Cooperative Breeding Cave, as this dragon is not a limited time dragon. You can then breed your dragon with their Blue Moon Dragon for a chance to get one of your own.
3. What are the Best Dragon Combinations for Breeding a Blue Moon Dragon?
There isn’t a single “best” combination, but some combinations are more popular due to the dragons’ availability and elemental compositions. Popular choices include:
- Thunder Dragon + Snow Dragon
