The Sapphire Egg Nest in Merge Dragons is a highly sought-after item by players looking to expand their collection of dragons and progress further in the game. These nests contain valuable Sapphire Dragon Eggs, and acquiring them often requires a combination of strategic gameplay and a bit of luck. Directly, you get Sapphire Egg Nests primarily by tapping the Fountain of Youth (Hills Wonder). However, there are also other less frequent methods, which we’ll explore in detail.
Methods to Obtain Sapphire Egg Nests
Tapping the Fountain of Youth (Hills Wonder)
The most reliable method for obtaining Sapphire Egg Nests is by tapping the Fountain of Youth, which is the Wonder for the Hills chain. This wonder has a chance to spawn a Sapphire Mystery Nest, which when tapped, reveals a Sapphire Egg Nest. Building the Fountain of Youth is therefore a crucial step for players who aim to collect these valuable nests consistently.
Other Less Frequent Methods
While the Fountain of Youth is the primary source, there are additional ways, although less frequent, to get Sapphire Egg Nests. These include:
- Tapping Sapphire Mystery Nests: On occasion, you may encounter Sapphire Mystery Nests. Tapping these can sometimes yield a Sapphire Egg Nest.
- Merging or Tapping Specific Mythical Idols/Monster Idols: Certain Mythical or Monster Idols may spawn Sapphire Mystery Nests when merged or tapped once. The specific idols that provide this are not always consistent and may vary.
- Shimmer Fountains: Once, a Shimmer Fountain may spawn a Sapphire Mystery Nest that could lead to a Sapphire Egg Nest. This is a one-time event from this object.
- Randomly from Tapping Mystery Meganests: While it is not the primary objective of Mystery Meganests, tapping these may yield a Sapphire Mystery Nest that will then yield a Sapphire Egg Nest.
- Randomly as a by-product from merging The Dragon Idols: Merging the Dragon Idols will sometimes generate an additional Sapphire Mystery Nest as a by-product.
- Randomly from merging Ruby Fire Eggs: Although not a direct way to the Sapphire Nest, merging Ruby Fire Eggs can randomly give you a Sapphire Egg that might lead you to the Sapphire Nest.
- Opening Dragon Egg Chests/Dragon Nest Vaults from Prism Flowers: Dragon Egg Chests or Dragon Nest Vaults that are created by merging Prism Flowers may provide Sapphire Eggs or nests.
- From Challenge Levels: Sometimes, as a reward for completing the Challenge Levels, you can receive Sapphire Egg Nests.
- Tapping Ruby Bear or Amethyst Peacock: Tapping these special items has a very small chance of yielding a Sapphire Egg Nest.
- Buy as Level Rewards: Certain levels will offer Sapphire Egg Nests for purchase using Dragon Gems.
These alternative methods are not as consistent as tapping the Fountain of Youth, but they offer additional opportunities for dedicated players to get the coveted Sapphire Egg Nests.
Tips for Efficient Sapphire Egg Nest Acquisition
- Focus on the Hills Chain: Prioritize building up your Hills chain to reach the Fountain of Youth as quickly as possible.
- Active Gameplay: Be active and consistent in tapping your Fountain of Youth. It takes a while to recharge between taps.
- Take Advantage of Events: Certain in-game events may offer special opportunities for obtaining items that lead to Sapphire Eggs. Watch out for these to maximize your efforts.
- Strategic Merging: Pay attention to which objects can provide an advantage in your quest for Sapphire Eggs, and merge them strategically.
