Breeding a Light Dragon in DragonVale can be achieved through a couple of different methods. The core principle is using dragons that possess the Light element. You can breed them by:
-
Using any two dragons, in either order, containing only the Light element at any Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island.
-
Using any two dragons, in either order, containing only the Light and Dark elements at any Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island.
This means combinations like Light Dragon + Light Dragon, Light Dragon + Pure Light Dragon, or Light Dragon + Shadow Dragon are all valid attempts. Keep in mind that breeding in DragonVale has a degree of randomness, so patience is key. The higher the level of your breeding dragons, the better your chances of success. Now, let’s delve deeper into the specifics and answer some frequently asked questions.
Light Dragon Breeding FAQs
Here are 15 frequently asked questions (FAQs) to help you master Light Dragon breeding in DragonVale, from the basics to the advanced techniques.
FAQ 1: What are the best Dragon combinations to breed a Light Dragon?
The best combinations are simply those that adhere to the rule: dragons with only the Light element, or dragons with the Light and Dark elements. So, a pure Light Dragon bred with another pure Light Dragon offers the simplest approach. A Light Dragon with a Shadow Dragon (which inherently has both Light and Dark elements) is another effective method. Remember, there’s always a chance of getting other dragons too, as breeding outcomes are not always guaranteed.
FAQ 2: Do Breeding Cave or Epic Breeding Island locations affect my chances?
No, the breeding location – whether it’s the regular Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island – does not influence your chances of breeding a Light Dragon. The success depends on the elements of the parent dragons you choose and a bit of luck. The Epic Breeding Island might speed up breeding times slightly, but the core mechanics remain the same.
FAQ 3: What levels should my dragons be for breeding?
While you can breed dragons at lower levels, your chances of obtaining a Light Dragon increase significantly with higher-level dragons. Aim for at least Level 10 for both parent dragons. Leveling up dragons improves your chances of breeding rarer dragons in general.
FAQ 4: Can I breed a Light Dragon during special events?
Sometimes, DragonVale features special events that might affect breeding odds. Keep an eye on in-game announcements! Occasionally, certain events might offer increased chances of breeding specific dragons, or they might introduce new breeding combinations that could indirectly help you obtain a Light Dragon.
FAQ 5: How long does it take to breed a Light Dragon?
The breeding time for a Light Dragon is 12 hours. After the breeding time, the egg incubation time is also 12 hours. Use the Wishing Well or speed up the process with gems if you’re impatient.
FAQ 6: Can I use the Cooperative Breeding Cave to get a Light Dragon?
Yes! Breeding with a friend’s dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave is a viable method. If your friend has a Light Dragon or a Shadow Dragon, you can pair it with one of your dragons that meets the criteria. This can be a good way to access dragons you don’t already own, but it’s still subject to the game’s breeding algorithms.
FAQ 7: Are there specific times of day that are better for breeding Light Dragons?
No, there are no specific times of day that influence the breeding of a Light Dragon. Unlike some dragons that have time-based breeding requirements, the Light Dragon can be bred at any time.
FAQ 8: What other dragons can I get when trying to breed a Light Dragon?
When attempting to breed a Light Dragon, you might get other dragons that share the Light and Dark elements, or combinations thereof. This could include the Sun Dragon, Moon Dragon, or other elemental dragons.
FAQ 9: What is a Pure Light Dragon, and how does it affect breeding?
A Pure Light Dragon is a dragon that only has the Light element. Breeding with a Pure Light Dragon increases the likelihood of obtaining a Light Dragon compared to using dragons with other elements mixed in. However, you need to have a Sanctuary level of 7 or over to use a pure element dragon in breeding.
FAQ 10: Is it possible to breed a Light Rift Dragon?
The Light Rift Dragon was originally breedable through Light and Dark element combinations. It is now no longer breedable outside of any regular circumstance where a primary is breedable. This means it is significantly more difficult to obtain through breeding and relies heavily on luck.
FAQ 11: How do I increase my chances of breeding rare dragons in general?
To increase your overall chances of breeding rare dragons, including the Light Dragon:
- Level up your dragons: Higher-level dragons have a better chance of producing rare offspring.
- Use the Epic Breeding Island: It might subtly improve breeding times.
- Breed during events: Events sometimes boost the chances of breeding specific dragons.
- Be patient: Breeding can take time and multiple attempts.
FAQ 12: What is the best way to get gems to speed up breeding?
Gems can be earned through daily rewards, completing goals, participating in events, or by purchasing them directly. Save your gems for speeding up longer breeding times, especially when trying for rare dragons.
FAQ 13: Can I breed the Light Dragon in Dragon Story?
The breeding mechanics in Dragon Story are different from DragonVale. In Dragon Story, you can get a Light Dragon by:
- Purchasing it at the market for 150,000.
- Breeding two pure White type dragons together (Light only).
- As a random result of breeding two pure Diamond type dragons together (Diamond and Infinity).
- Breeding two parents that collectively contribute only the White and Diamond types.
FAQ 14: What are Hidden Dragons, and can they help me breed a Light Dragon?
Hidden Dragons in DragonVale are known for their camouflage abilities. However, they don’t directly influence the breeding of a Light Dragon. Focus on combinations containing the Light and/or Dark elements. The Hidden Bolt Dragon needs the Dark and Lightning elements at any Breeding Cave.
FAQ 15: Is there a DragonVale community where I can get breeding tips?
Yes! The DragonVale community is vast and helpful. Look for forums, social media groups, and online communities dedicated to the game. Players often share their breeding experiences and tips, which can provide valuable insights. You can also learn about educational games and the theory behind them through resources like the Games Learning Society (https://www.gameslearningsociety.org/) or GamesLearningSociety.org. The Games Learning Society provides fascinating research on how games impact learning.
