How to Breed Rare Dragons on Dragonvale

Step-by-Step Guide

1. 1

   Step 1: Understand the breeding process.

   In order to breed dragons, you will need to have unlocked the Breeding Island or Breeding Cave.
   
   This is where you can send two dragons to breed and produce an egg.
   
   The egg will need to incubate for a certain amount of time before it hatches, depending on the breed the egg contains.

   Step 2: Select two dragons to breed.

   When you select two dragons to breed, the game will calculate what dragon you receive based on certain odds.
   
   Generally, there are three types of results you can expect from a breeding:
   Common, Rare, and Epic.
   
   The one you get is purely chance-based, and Rares and Epics have very low percentages. , The rarest dragons are bred from combinations of previous, lesser dragons.
   
   You will need to go through several breeding processes before you have the right dragons to breed the super rare ones. , The rarest dragons can take a very long time to hatch, but once you see that long incubation time you'll know that you have something good on your hands. , These are the few dragons that can result from breeding opposite elements.Opposite Element Dragons  Desired Dragon  Parent #1 Parent #2  Time  Blue Fire Fire Dragon Cold Hybrid 12 hr Current Water Dragon  Lightning Hybrid  16 hr Dodo Earth Dragon Air Hybrid 16 hr Ironwood Plant Dragon Metal Hybrid 12 hr Malachite Metal Dragon Plant Hybrid 12 hr Plasma  Lightning Dragon  Water Hybrid 16 hr Frostfire Cold Dragon Fire Hybrid 12 hr Sandstorm Air Dragon Earth Hybrid 2 hr , These dragons are worth lots of money if they are sold.
