Unlocking the Secrets of the Morpho Dragon: A DragonVale Breeding Guide
So, you’re captivated by the ethereal beauty of the Morpho Dragon and itching to add one to your DragonVale park? You’ve come to the right place! This guide will lay out everything you need to know about breeding this elusive creature, along with a wealth of additional tips and tricks to elevate your DragonVale breeding game.
The direct answer: The Morpho Dragon can be bred by using a Gildamane Dragon and a Dittoglide Dragon, in either order, at any Breeding Cave. It’s that simple! However, knowing how is only the first step. Let’s delve deeper into the process and explore some frequently asked questions that will help you maximize your chances.
Mastering Morpho Dragon Breeding
Key Breeding Pair: Gildamane and Dittoglide
Remember the crucial combination: Gildamane Dragon + Dittoglide Dragon. The order doesn’t matter, so don’t fret about which dragon goes first. The magic happens regardless. Also, the article states that you can breed the morpho dragon at any Breeding Cave.
Understanding the Parent Dragons
- Gildamane Dragon: This dragon combines the elements of Light and Metal.
- Dittoglide Dragon: This dragon combines the elements of Dark and Air.
Having these specific dragons is paramount. You can’t substitute them with other dragons possessing the same elements, as the unique combination of these two is what yields the Morpho.
Optimizing Your Breeding Chances
While the breeding combination is fixed, you can still optimize your chances through other means:
-
Level Up Your Dragons: The higher the level of your parent dragons, the better your odds. Aim for at least level 16 for both the Gildamane and Dittoglide Dragons.
-
Utilize the Enhanced Breeding Cave/Epic Breeding Island: These upgraded locations offer a slightly increased chance of breeding rare dragons. While the difference might be small, it can add up over time.
-
Patience is Key: Breeding can be a waiting game. Don’t get discouraged if you don’t succeed on your first few attempts. Keep trying, and eventually, that Morpho Dragon will be yours!
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about DragonVale Breeding
Q1: What are the elements of the Morpho Dragon?
The Morpho Dragon possesses the elements of Light, Dark, Air, and Metal. Understanding its elemental makeup is important for habitat placement and feeding.
Q2: Is the Morpho Dragon a limited-time dragon?
The Morpho Dragon is not generally a limited-time dragon. That means it can be bred year-round, which is great news for collectors.
Q3: Can I use a friend’s Gildamane or Dittoglide in the Cooperative Breeding Cave?
Yes! The Cooperative Breeding Cave is an excellent way to try for the Morpho Dragon if you don’t own both parent dragons. Just pair your Dittoglide (or Gildamane) with a friend’s Gildamane (or Dittoglide).
Q4: What level do my parent dragons need to be for the best chance of breeding a Morpho Dragon?
While you can breed with lower-level dragons, aiming for level 16 or higher for both parent dragons is generally recommended to increase your chances of success.
Q5: What if I keep getting other dragons instead of the Morpho Dragon?
Breeding is a game of chance. If you keep getting other dragons, it simply means you haven’t hit the right combination of luck yet. Keep breeding with the Gildamane and Dittoglide, and eventually, you’ll get your Morpho. Having other dragons also means more dragoncash so it is not a total waste of a try.
Q6: Does it matter which Breeding Cave I use?
The article stated that you can use any Breeding Cave.
Q7: Are there any special events or boosts that can improve my breeding odds?
Yes! DragonVale frequently offers special events and boosts that can increase your chances of breeding rare dragons. Keep an eye on in-game announcements and social media for information on these events.
Q8: What habitat does the Morpho Dragon need?
The Morpho Dragon requires a habitat that can support its four elements: Light, Dark, Air, and Metal. The Epic Habitat will hold multiple dragons.
Q9: How much does it cost to buy a Morpho Dragon outright?
While the cost can fluctuate based on events, a Morpho Dragon typically costs a significant amount of Gems to purchase directly from the market. Breeding is almost always the more cost-effective option.
Q10: What is the incubation time for the Morpho Dragon?
Knowing the incubation time allows you to plan your breeding strategy more effectively. I am sorry I can’t give you the incubation time but, by tapping on the egg in your hatchery, you can see the time for that dragon to hatch.
Q11: Where can I find the most up-to-date breeding combinations?
The DragonVale community is incredibly active. Websites and forums dedicated to DragonVale often maintain up-to-date lists of breeding combinations. You can also consult the in-game DragonVale Compendium.
Q12: Can I breed a second-generation Morpho Dragon using two Morpho Dragons?
Unfortunately, you cannot breed two Morpho Dragons together to get another Morpho Dragon. You need to stick with the Gildamane + Dittoglide combination.
Q13: Is there any advantage to owning multiple Morpho Dragons?
Owning multiple Morpho Dragons can be advantageous for dragoncash production. Each dragon generates dragoncash, contributing to your overall income. Aesthetically, they are very pleasing to have also.
Q14: Are there any strategies for managing my park while waiting for a breeding attempt to complete?
While waiting for a breeding attempt, focus on other aspects of park management. Collect dragoncash from habitats, feed your dragons to level them up, and complete daily goals and quests.
Q15: Where can I learn more about the science behind game-based learning?
If you’re interested in the educational potential of games like DragonVale, I highly recommend exploring the Games Learning Society at GamesLearningSociety.org. They conduct research and promote the use of games for learning and development.
