However, using the right combination drastically increases your odds.

Tips for Successful Breeding

• Level Up Your Dragons: While not explicitly stated, many players report better success rates when both parent dragons are at higher levels (level 11 or higher). This might be due to slightly improved breeding odds at higher dragon levels.

• Utilize Breeding Perks: Keep an eye out for breeding events that may increase the chances of specific dragons, including the Neoteric Dragon. These events significantly boost your odds of success.

• Consider the Breeding Cave: While the Neoteric can be bred in any cave, some players swear by the Epic Breeding Island. Experiment to see what works best for you!
