Unleash the Magnetic Might: Breeding the Lodestone Dragon in DragonVale
Want to add a powerful, visually striking dragon to your DragonVale park? The Lodestone Dragon, with its metallic scales and crackling energy, is a fantastic addition. The key to unlocking this magnetic marvel lies in understanding its breeding requirements.
How do you breed a Lodestone Dragon? The Lodestone Dragon can be bred by using any two dragons, in either order, containing both the Metal and Lightning elements. You can attempt this breeding combination at any Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island. Good luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
Deciphering the Lodestone Dragon’s Allure
The Lodestone Dragon’s appeal lies in its unique design and elemental composition. It’s a potent combination of strength and speed, making it a valuable asset in your park, both aesthetically and financially. To get the Lodestone Dragon, the dragons bred together must have both of the elements of Metal and Lighting.
Strategic Breeding Combinations
While any two dragons with the Metal and Lightning elements will work, some combinations might be more efficient or provide a chance at other valuable dragons simultaneously. Here are a few strategic options:
-
Iron Dragon + Lightning Dragon: This is a straightforward combination that’s easy to achieve early in the game. Both dragons are relatively simple to obtain, making this a good starting point.
-
Metal Dragon + Storm Dragon: This combination offers the potential for not only the Lodestone Dragon, but also the Storm Dragon itself, maximizing your potential for rare outcomes.
-
Electrum Dragon + any Metal element dragon: The Electrum Dragon already has both elements and breeding this with another metal element dragon such as the Iron Dragon can result in breeding a Lodestone Dragon.
-
Chrome Dragon + any Lighting element dragon: The Chrome Dragon already has both elements and breeding this with another lightning element dragon such as the Storm Dragon can result in breeding a Lodestone Dragon.
Optimizing Your Breeding Attempts
Breeding in DragonVale is part art, part science, and part luck. Here are some tips to improve your chances of successfully breeding a Lodestone Dragon:
-
Level Up Your Breeding Dragons: Higher-level dragons typically have a greater impact on breeding outcomes. Leveling up your dragons to at least level 10 will increase the possibility of breeding an epic dragon.
-
Use the Epic Breeding Island: The Epic Breeding Island often provides a slight boost to breeding chances for rare dragons.
-
Be Patient: Breeding rare dragons can take time. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a Lodestone Dragon on your first few attempts.
-
Track Your Results: Keeping a record of your breeding combinations can help you identify which pairings are most successful for you.
-
Wish for It: If you’re really struggling, and have enough DragonVale gems, remember that the Wish system can sometimes grant you rare dragons like the Lodestone. This is a last resort, but an option to consider.
