Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) About Breeding the Greymatter Dragon

Here are 15 FAQs designed to equip you with all the knowledge you need to successfully breed the Greymatter Dragon:

How difficult is it to breed the Greymatter Dragon?

The difficulty of breeding the Greymatter Dragon hinges on obtaining the parent dragons. The Zombie Dragon is available during the Halloween event, and the Brood Dragon is usually obtainable during limited-time events as well. Once you have the parent dragons, the chances of breeding the Greymatter Dragon are moderate but will require persistence. Breeding odds are always subject to some randomness, so don’t get discouraged if it takes a few tries.

Do I need a specific Breeding Cave to breed the Greymatter Dragon?

No, you can attempt to breed the Greymatter Dragon at any Breeding Cave in your park, including the Epic Breeding Island. The important thing is to have the correct parent dragons, the Zombie Dragon and Brood Dragon.

Is there a specific time of day to breed the Greymatter Dragon?

Fortunately, no. Unlike some dragons that require specific times of day for breeding, the Greymatter Dragon can be bred at any time.

What is the breeding time for the Greymatter Dragon?

The breeding time for the Greymatter Dragon is 23 hours. If you’re using an upgraded Breeding Cave, this time will be reduced. Knowing the breeding time helps you plan your breeding activities efficiently.

What is the incubation time for the Greymatter Dragon egg?

The incubation time for the Greymatter Dragon egg is also 23 hours. This allows you to prepare a suitable habitat for the dragon once it hatches.

What habitat does the Greymatter Dragon need?

The Greymatter Dragon requires an Apocalypse Habitat. Ensure you have one available before your egg hatches to provide a comfortable environment for your new dragon.

Can I use a friend’s dragon to breed the Greymatter Dragon?

You cannot directly use a friend’s dragon in your Breeding Cave. However, if a Cooperative Breeding Cave is active and you or your friend have a Greymatter Dragon, you can potentially breed another one that way using one of your dragons as the second breeding dragon. The friend’s dragon must be set as the breeding dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave.

What elements does the Greymatter Dragon represent?

The Greymatter Dragon represents the Apocalypse element. This is crucial to know when selecting other dragons to breed with it later on, as breeding for dragons with the Apocalypse element can be lucrative.

What are the best ways to obtain a Zombie Dragon?

The Zombie Dragon is typically available during the annual Halloween event in DragonVale. Keep an eye out for this event and be prepared to purchase it with event currency or try breeding for it using specific combinations available during the event. During the Halloween event, make sure to check the event market often, as it offers daily deals that might include the Zombie Dragon.

What are the best ways to obtain a Brood Dragon?

The Brood Dragon is often released during limited-time events. Pay attention to DragonVale announcements and social media channels to learn when the Brood Dragon will be available and what the breeding or purchasing requirements are. Participating in the event activities will increase your chances of acquiring this crucial breeding parent.

Can I use the Wishing Well to get the Greymatter Dragon?

While it’s theoretically possible, relying on the Wishing Well to directly obtain a Greymatter Dragon is not efficient. The chances of getting a specific dragon from the Wishing Well are extremely low. Focus on breeding it using the Zombie and Brood Dragons.

What if I get a breeding fail? What dragons could I get instead?

Breeding with the Zombie and Brood Dragons can result in a variety of outcomes, especially if either parent possesses multiple elements. Some possible fails include other Apocalypse dragons or dragons that share elements with the parent dragons like the Earth, Fire, or Cold elements. Don’t be discouraged by fails – they are a part of the process, and each attempt brings you closer to getting the Greymatter Dragon.

Is it worth using DragonCash to speed up breeding or incubation?

Whether to use DragonCash to speed up breeding or incubation depends on your personal strategy and resources. If you have plenty of DragonCash and are impatient to get the Greymatter Dragon, speeding up the process can be tempting. However, for most players, it’s more economical to be patient and wait out the timers, especially given that you may have several breeding attempts. Save your DragonCash for more impactful investments in your park.

Does the level of the parent dragons affect the breeding odds?

While it’s unconfirmed by Backflip Studios/DECA Games, many players believe that the level of the parent dragons can slightly influence the breeding odds. It’s generally recommended to level up your Zombie Dragon and Brood Dragon as much as possible (at least level 11) before attempting to breed the Greymatter Dragon. This might give you a small edge in the breeding process.

Are there any special decorations that boost my chances of breeding the Greymatter Dragon?

While there are no decorations that directly boost the chances of breeding a specific dragon like the Greymatter Dragon, certain Epic Decorations and other themed decorations can boost the overall happiness of your dragons, which some players believe can indirectly affect breeding success. Focus on making your park a happy place for your dragons!
