The "Grinders" can Eliminate everything except the Sunspot Clouddancer, Brush Dodo, and the Hooded Dodo (they will need to be Scratched then Eliminated). The "Heavyweight" can Eliminate everything.

[b]Know your Enemy [/b] Some are Physical = attack right away, some are Magical = they take time to build Breath before they can attack < we like these. The magical ones I marked with yellow stars make really good "starter packs", battles that start with them allow your dragon to build breath. [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l241/Melissa_Blodgett/mag_zpsueeoyt0d.png[/IMG][IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l241/Melissa_Blodgett/Phy_zpsuyx74mlb.png[/IMG] Good Starter Packs - Don't be afraid to try other packs to see how your dragons do. Some packs that have 2 magical and 1 physical or 1 magical and 1 physical enemy make good starter packs also. [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l241/Melissa_Blodgett/sp2_zpsjpksr1su.png[/IMG][IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l241/Melissa_Blodgett/Sp_zpszeypsxwm.jpg[/IMG] [b]Breath & Eliminate[/b] [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l241/Melissa_Blodgett/Breath_zpsx3ofll5j.png[/IMG] At the start of a battle you will need to "Scratch" the enemy until they are gone. Once you have enough breath built up (see Regrowth in image above, it's that blue line under her health meter.) You can then use a Scratch then Eliminate. [item=Eliminate] All enemies (not counting Bosses) can be Scratched then Eliminated. Warning if your dragon tries to Eliminate but misses the dragon will lose breath. Then it's back to Scratch until breath is built back up again. Well worth the risk. Give it a try. Now lets try Rally [b]Rally is Really Great[/b] [item=Rally] Dragon A will Rally Dragon B. What does this do for your dragon? It gives the dragon that has been Rallied a boost of strength. You can tell when a dragon has been "Rallied" by that little yellow arm (I think it looks like a duck) see image above. A dragon that has been Rallied can use "Eliminate" without first scratching to make the enemy evaporate. Lasts for 5 turns, I think. The "Lightweight" can Rally Eliminate all opponents except the Bosses of course. [b]Game Play[/b] Battle One Dragon A and B "Scratch" until enemies are gone. Battle Two (maybe Three, depending on your starter packs) Dragon A - uses Rally on Dragon B. Dragon B - Eliminates Enemy one Dragon B - Eliminates Enemy two Dragon B - Eliminates Enemy three Battle Three Repeat Battle Two moves. Don't bother using "Rally" on dragon A, in most cases it is a waste of a turn and the animation for Rally takes so long it is just quicker to use scratch and eliminate. Then why would you put a "Rally" on Dragon B if you don't use it? Simple I may use this dragon in other venues (grinding for Swipp items, and Festivals) and it may get used then. :) I never use Haste or any other stone anyway, so I may as well have a Rally in that space. [b]Sap[/b] Is great if you are low on Health but have some Breath to use. Sap will cause damage to the enemy returning some Health points to the dragon. Will cost your dragon some Breath to use, but helpful all the same. [b]Shred[/b] [item=shred] Very useful in long drawn out battle like with the bosses. Shred will cause damage to the enemy and at the enemies next turn it loses a bit more health. Last for 3 turns I think. [b]Dragon C [/b]You may have noticed that Dragon C really doesn't see much action. You are right and that is a good thing. At such a low level it has no strength to compete with the enemy and it would just get in the way of the two level 25s so don't mess with the stat points and stones until it is up to level 20. At which point you can add the stones and stats and replace Dragon A with it, and get a different level 1 for Dragon C. Dump all the points you can into STR (strength) first until it reaches the desired amount, then add points to QCK (Quick), leftover points go into VIT. If Dragon C is a dragon you are going to exalt then DO NOT add stones to it, that would be a waste of good stones. Just get it to the desired level (level 7-10 are good exalt levels) and exalt it.

Things to KEEP [IMG]http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l241/Melissa_Blodgett/Save_zps7qtivpkb.png[/IMG] You can open any eggs you find, but they are worth more in the Auction House (AH) then a first gen dragon is, and that is all you get from an egg, one First Generation dragon. And the Ambush you will need for any dragon you level to 25 so hold onto them, they are very rare.

Dragon Breeding
I like to mix my dragon breeds because you have a higher chance of getting more eggs from a nest. And mixing breeds is the ONLY way you get a five egg nest. However I also like to keep in mind the breeding cooldown so I will only breed Plentiful dragons with another Plentiful dragon, that way both the male and the female will be ready to breed (RTB) at the same time. That way I don't end up with two males that are RTB but no female to breed them with. So I have a Fae/Mirror pair and an Imperial/Nocturne pair also a Guardian/Tundra pair and so on.

Genes do not affect the number of eggs a nest will produce, however some Genes are Plentiful and others are Rare. If you mate a dragon with Tiger and one with Iridescent the offspring will most likely have the Tiger gene. Check the Breeding Rarity Comparisons post for more information. Even if I don't care for a particular gene I try to have at least one dragon in my lair with that gene because I might get lucky and have Fodder that will match the Exalt Bonus for a particular day. You can find the Exalt Bonuses on the Home page, right hand side, about half way down, this updates each day shortly after Roll-over (2:30 am for us).


Plentiful
Subject to a 15 day breeding cooldown.
•Fae Dragons
•Guardian Dragons
•Mirror Dragons
•Tundra Dragons

Common
Subject to a 20 day breeding cooldown.
•Pearlcatcher Dragons
•Ridgeback Dragons
•Snapper Dragons
•Spiral Dragons

Uncommon
Subject to a 25 day breeding cooldown.
•Skydancer Dragons

Limited
Subject to a 30 day breeding cooldown.
•Imperial Dragons
•Nocturne Dragons

Rare
Subject to a 35 day breeding cooldown.
•Coatl Dragons
•Wildclaw Dragons


Here is that breeding plan I was telling you about.



Day 1 - Put pair on Nest A, don't forget to incubate.
Day 2 - Put pair on Nest B, Incubate Nests A & B
Day 3 - Put pair on Nest C, Incubate Nests A, B & C

and so one, eventually you will be hatching Nest A and putting a pair on Nest E every day. I do this so I have a steady supply of dragons to level and exalt and I don't fill up my lair and have to wait 5-6 days before I can clear out space. (Mostly a problem when I first started and lair space was skimpy). Not to mention making time to level dragons between work and other activities.

Treasure to Gem conversion
600 treasure = 1 Gem



Food Prices = 25 treasure per point
Stack of 99 x 4 food points = 396 x 25 = 9900 Treasure (I've been able to sell my stacks of 99/4 point food items for 10000 treasure or 15 gems. Usually in one day listings)

Treasure/Gems
2 pt. = 6000/10
3 pt. = 10000/15
4 pt. = 15000/20
5 pt. = 18000/25

Anything higher then 5 food points is usually a collectors item and you should check the AH for current pricing. Oh and don't forget that Swipp/Baldwin's Brew food items will be worth even more.

With all the "Grinding" we are doing this week I am sure that there will be food to spare. Don't forget to Convert enough for your dragons but you might want to list some for sale this week. Not everyone can use the Coli like we can and they use there Gathering turns in Digging so they will spend treasure/gems on food rather then let there dragons go hungry. Check the other posts as some of them have been updated. And as always if you have questions or need help please let me know.
