Let’s delve into the specifics and answer some frequently asked questions to ensure your Chrome Dragon breeding experience is a success.
Breeding the Chrome Dragon: A Step-by-Step Guide
Breeding the Chrome Dragon is relatively simple compared to some of the more complex dragons in DragonVale. Here’s how you do it:
Choosing Your Breeding Dragons
- You need two dragons, each possessing the Metal and Air elements. The specific dragon doesn’t matter as long as these two elements are present in each of the two chosen dragons.
- Some examples of breeding pairs you can use:
* Iron Dragon (Metal, Fire) and Wind Dragon (Air)
* Rust Dragon (Water, Metal) and Storm Dragon (Cold, Lightning, Air)
* Metal Dragon (Metal) and Air Dragon (Air) - Remember that the order of dragons doesn’t matter. You can put your Metal dragon first and then the Air Dragon, or vice versa, and still have the chance to get a Chrome Dragon.
Using the Breeding Cave
- Go to any Breeding Cave in your park. This includes the regular Breeding Cave, the Epic Breeding Cave, and even the upgraded versions, as the location doesn’t affect the outcome of the Chrome Dragon.
- Select your two breeding dragons.
- Start breeding and wait for the result. The breeding time for a Chrome Dragon is 12 hours.
Patience is Key
- Keep in mind that breeding in DragonVale is always somewhat chance-based. You won’t get a Chrome Dragon every time you breed two Metal and Air element dragons. You may get different hybrid combinations. However, consistently using the correct combination of elements will eventually result in a Chrome Dragon.
- Consider upgrading your Breeding Caves for a chance to have your breeding times reduced. This could reduce the time you have to wait between each breeding attempt and speed up the process to acquire your Chrome Dragon.

Potential alternative results will vary depending on what you use to breed the Chrome Dragon.

14. If I fail to breed a Chrome Dragon, should I try the same pairing again or change my dragons?
