Here are 15 frequently asked questions that will equip you with all the knowledge you need to successfully breed your own Masque Dragon.
1. What dragons do I need to breed a Masque Dragon?
As mentioned above, the Masque Dragon requires a combination of the Moonstruck Dragon and the Spritely Dragon. These are the only two dragons that will result in a Masque Dragon.
2. Does the order of breeding the Moonstruck and Spritely Dragons matter?
No, the order doesn’t matter. You can breed a Moonstruck Dragon with a Spritely Dragon, or vice versa, and the result will be the same. The game considers the presence of both dragons in the breeding process, not the order in which they are combined.
3. Can I use the Breeding Cave or the Epic Breeding Island?
Yes! You can use either the regular Breeding Cave or the upgraded Epic Breeding Island. The chances of breeding a Masque Dragon are the same in both locations. Choose whichever location is most convenient for you.
4. What are the breeding odds for the Masque Dragon?
Breeding odds in DragonVale are always a bit of a mystery. The odds are dependent on the level of your dragons. While the exact percentage isn’t publicly known, the Masque Dragon isn’t considered exceptionally difficult to breed compared to other limited-time dragons. Just keep trying! Perseverance is key!
5. What is the breeding time for the Masque Dragon?
The breeding time for the Masque Dragon is 12 hours. Keep this in mind when planning your breeding attempts, especially if you’re aiming for other specific dragons.
6. What is the incubation time for the Masque Dragon?
The incubation time for the Masque Dragon is also 12 hours. This is the time it takes for the egg to hatch in the Nursery after successful breeding. You can speed this up by using gems.
7. What are the elements of the Masque Dragon?
The Masque Dragon possesses the following elements: Plant, Light, and Dark. Understanding the elements of a dragon is important for habitat placement and dragon interactions.
8. What habitat is best for the Masque Dragon?
The ideal habitat for your Masque Dragon is the Light Habitat. This is because the Light element is dominant.
9. Can I breed a Masque Dragon in the Cooperative Breeding Cave?
No, the Masque Dragon is not a dragon that can be bred in the Cooperative Breeding Cave using a friend’s dragon. You need to use the specified combination of Moonstruck Dragon and Spritely Dragon in your own park.
10. Is the Masque Dragon a limited-time dragon?
Yes, the Masque Dragon is a limited-time dragon that is typically available during special events, such as the Halloween event. This means it won’t always be available to breed, so when it appears, try to breed one before it’s gone!
11. What is the best strategy to breed a Masque Dragon?
The best strategy is to simply keep trying! Make sure your Moonstruck Dragon and Spritely Dragon are at least level 10 to increase your chances. You can also use Wishing Well wishes during events to try and speed up the process.
12. What happens if I breed the Moonstruck and Spritely Dragons and don’t get a Masque Dragon?
If you don’t get a Masque Dragon, you’ll get another dragon that shares elements with the parent dragons. This can include dragons with the Plant, Light, or Dark elements. While it might be disappointing, it’s just part of the breeding process. Keep trying, and you’ll eventually get your Masque Dragon.
13. Can I use upgraded versions of the Moonstruck or Spritely Dragon to breed the Masque Dragon?
Yes! Using upgraded versions, such as the Elder Moonstruck Dragon or the Elder Spritely Dragon, does not affect the breeding outcome. The game only considers the presence of the required dragons, not their specific level or form.
14. What is the best way to get a Moonstruck Dragon and Spritely Dragon if I don’t have them?
The Moonstruck Dragon and Spritely Dragon are also limited-time dragons. They are typically available during specific events or can sometimes be obtained through mystery eggs. Keep an eye on DragonVale’s announcements and events to see when they are available. Trading for the dragons is also an option to expedite the process.
15. What other limited-time dragons are similar to the Masque Dragon in terms of breeding complexity?
Many limited-time dragons require specific combinations, much like the Masque Dragon. Some examples include the Chromacorn Dragon, which requires a Rainbow Dragon and a Double Rainbow Dragon, and the Elysium Dragon, which needs a Dream Dragon and a Gold Olympus Dragon.
