The fastest way to level dragons is with a two-dragon trainer in the Mire: about 4.5 hours from Level 1 to Level 25. The Scratch build is better for higher levels, since it needs fewer refreshes, while the Meditate build is better for lower levels (≤6), since it needs fewer turns to build breath for Eliminate.
