Unleash Your Dragon’s Potential: Leveling Beyond 10 in DragonVale

So, you’re a DragonVale enthusiast eager to push your scaly companions beyond the limitations of level 10? You’ve come to the right place! Leveling your dragons beyond this point unlocks their true potential, enhancing their earning power, appearance, and overall awesomeness. Let’s delve into the specifics.

The path to achieving higher levels in DragonVale depends on the dragon type. For most dragons, reaching level 10 is the initial cap. However, by acquiring special items and diligently tending to your dragons, you can break through this barrier and unlock levels up to a maximum of 20 or even 21 in some very specific instances. The key lies in understanding the different types of dragons and the requirements associated with each.

Leveling Epic Dragons Beyond 10

For Epic Dragons, the secret lies in acquiring either the Relic of the Epics or the Monument of the Epics. Each of these structures, obtainable through gameplay or in-app purchases, increases the maximum level of your Epic Dragons by 5. This means that with one structure, your Epic Dragons can reach level 15, and with both, they can soar to level 20. At level 20, your Epic Dragons not only become larger but also sport a magnificent gold crown, replacing their orb, a clear visual indicator of their elevated status.

The Role of Noble Crystals

For Dragons beyond Epic, there are special crystals. To level your Dragons beyond level 10, you need a special crystal from the Market called the Noble Crystal. The Noble Crystal gives your Dragons the ability to grow up to level 15!

Leveling Primary Dragons to Elder Status

The other exception lies with Primary Dragons (Fire, Earth, Plant, Lightning, Metal, Air, Water, Cold, Light, and Dark). These fundamental dragons possess a unique ability: they can be leveled up to level 21, transforming them into Elder Dragons. This transformation not only boosts their stats but also grants them a distinguished elder appearance.

Feeding and Experience Acquisition

Regardless of the dragon type, leveling up fundamentally relies on feeding them treats. The amount of experience (EXP) a dragon gains is directly proportional to the number of treats consumed. Participating in the Colosseum also provides EXP; winning a silver medal grants 5% of the EXP needed to level up, while a gold medal provides 10%.

DragonVale Leveling: Frequently Asked Questions

To further clarify the nuances of leveling up dragons beyond 10, here’s a comprehensive list of frequently asked questions:

How high can Gemstone and Crystalline Dragons be levelled?

Gemstone and Crystalline Dragons have a maximum level of 10, or the level of your park, whichever is lower. These dragons do not benefit from the Relic or Monument of the Epics and cannot be leveled to Elder status.

The maximum level a dragon can reach is generally 20. However, Primary Dragons are the exception, as they can be leveled up to 21, becoming Elder Dragons.

How do you get dragons to level up faster?

The fastest way to level up dragons is by consistently feeding them treats. Prioritize the highest-quality treats you can produce, as these provide more EXP. Also, regular participation in the Colosseum can supplement their EXP gain.

What happens when dragons reach higher levels?

As dragons level up, their dragon cash production increases, making them more valuable assets in your park.

Their stats also increase, boosting their performance in the Colosseum.

Is it worth investing in the Relic and Monument of the Epics?

Absolutely! If you’re serious about optimizing your DragonVale park, the Relic and Monument of the Epics are essential. They allow your Epic Dragons to reach their full potential, significantly boosting their dragon cash earning rates and their overall value.
