User blog:MsTwisted/Guide for Dragon City: Levels 1-34

A little (unsolicited) advice for all you low-levels out there. This is what I wish I knew when I started. '''Remember: this isn't the only right way to play. It's your game, do what you like with it!'''

What I did, or wish I did:
 * SAVE GEMS starting as early as possible.
 * Only feed dragons until Level 7; save the rest of your food for later.
 * Sell duplicate dragons for gold.
 * Ignore Light and War dragons, for now.
 * Also ignore Combat and Stadium, for now.

Why do it this way?
 * Saving gems lets you buy the Ultra Breeding Tree, and extra spaces in the Hatchery - this means better dragons more quickly. It also allows you to buy more islands to store your dragons on.
 * Feeding your dragons to Level 7 makes sure they can breed, and get listed in the Dragon Book. The Dragon Book earns you gems as you complete dragon collections.
 * I like to sell duplicate dragons, because they take up too much space. Some also sell for a lot of gold.
 * Don't bother with Light and War dragons yet, they're very expensive, and they aren't in the Dragon Book. You won't need them until later.


 * Not doing combat yet can save you LOTS of food and space.
 * Elemental and Hybrid dragons can't get critical strikes against Pures or Legends, which makes them very hard to fight if your dragons are lower level. It's a little easier if you wait until you have Pures and Legends too, so you won't spend more food than you need to.
 * The Stadium is a BIG building, but if you're not fighting yet, why build it? For the same reason, you won't need the Training Center or extra Temples until later. (I also ignored the Recruitment Center, it's wasted space IMO.)

Sooo, what the heck do I do with my game, then?
 * Breed dragons, collect gold, farm food, and build habitats! Isn't life grand! ;)

Again, if this is too boring for you, do what YOU want. It's not worth playing the game if you don't enjoy it!

If you have questions, feel free to ask here, or in the forums. Cheers, and happy gaming!
