How Breeding Works in DragonVale World (Simple Version)

Elements drive results. To get a hybrid, breed two dragons that together cover the target elements. Example: any pair that provides Fire + Jungle can produce hybrids from that element set. Parent order doesn’t matter for the result.

Where to Breed

You have two spots:

  • Breeding Cave – your default.
  • Epic Breeding Island (EBI) – unlock at level 5; costs 250 Gems; lets you run a second breeding at the same time and improves chances for rarer results.

Enchanted dragons are special recolors with habitat-collection bonuses (extra DragonCash, XP, or Food). You can only get the enchanted version after you’ve obtained the regular version, and it’s a rare breeding chance using the same element combo. (Occasionally available as event prizes.)

Breed times hint at what you got. Example: Venom (Fire+Jungle) has a short timer (45 min normal), while multi-element rares like Cinder (Fire+Earth+Jungle) take longer.

Pro tip: On Epic Breeding Island, you not only get a second queue—you may also see better odds on rare/limited outcomes. It’s the single most useful early upgrade for breeders.

The Complete Hybrid Combo List (by Element Pair)

There are 7 primary elements in DVW: Fire, Jungle, Earth, Frozen, Fairy, Water, Air. Any pair of those elements produces two mirror-image hybrids (one “from” each side). Below is the quick reference table, then you’ll find pair-by-pair notes with rare/enchanted callouts.

Element Pairs (With Notes, Tips & Rare/Enchanted Highlights)

Read this section like a mini-encyclopedia. Each pair includes both two-element hybrids and “stretch goals”—notable rarer dragons you can aim for later by adding a third element or going enchanted.

Fire + Jungle → Wildfire / Flytrap

Why it’s great: Fast session times; unlocks early goals. Rare watch: Venom (still a 2-element hybrid in DVW) comes from this element set and is a common early milestone; watch for its ~45 min normal breed timer. Cinder needs Fire + Earth + Jungle—see the Fire+Earth notes below.

Fire + Earth → Thermal / Magma

Why it’s great: Opens the path to Cinder (three-star). Rare watch: Cinder requires Fire + Earth + Jungle; it’s a three-element hybrid with a 2h 5m timer.

Fire + Frozen → Frostburn / Thaw

Why it’s great: Strong mid-game cash earners. Tip: Pair with Epic Breeding Island when chasing enchanted versions (Frostburn’s enchanted can take a while).

Fire + Fairy → Imp / Foxglow

Why it’s great: Imp is quick; good for filling habitats and farming XP. Rare watch: Bahlrawg (Fire + Earth + Fairy) later in the game.

Fire + Water → Geyser / Newt

Why it’s great: Newt’s short times are handy; solid for early expansions. Tip: Use this pair when you’re trying to avoid long incubations while still progressing element coverage.

Fire + Air → Paradise / Billow

Why it’s great: Paradise is a classic hybrid; Air-based pairs often have moderate timers. Tip: Air paths pair nicely with EBI to “roll the dice” more often.

Jungle + Earth → Oasis / Underbrush

Why it’s great: Gateway to Cinder via Jungle when combined with Fire later. Tip: Underbrush is a staple in Earth/Jungle habitats; short-to-medium timers keep your hatchery busy.

Jungle + Frozen → Alpine / Fir

Why it’s great: Alpine is beloved for its look and manageable timer. Breed note: Any two dragons with Jungle and Frozen can produce Alpine (parent order doesn’t matter).

Jungle + Fairy → Glade / Woodland

Why it’s great: Good odds for enchanted cash bonuses; ideal for collectors.

Jungle + Water → Fern / Tropical

Why it’s great: Fern hatches quickly; nice filler for Water and Jungle habitats.

Jungle + Air → Canopy / Sonar

Why it’s great: Sonar is popular in Air builds; solid income/XP curve.

Earth + Frozen → Wooly / Tundra

Why it’s great: Sturdy income hybrids, but expect longer times (Wooly/Tundra can be lengthy). Rare watch: Some Ancient-tier outcomes with Earth/Frozen appear at exact times; community posts historically tracked 24h hits as clues for ancients.

Earth + Fairy → Labyrinth / Elfin

Why it’s great: Eye-catching designs for your park aesthetic; medium timers. Rare watch: Bahlrawg (Fire + Earth + Fairy) as a later challenge.

Earth + Water → Canyon / Shore

Why it’s great: Canyon and Shore are reliable earners; set-and-forget.

Earth + Air → Tumbleweed / Badlands

Why it’s great: Completes the Earth pair set; adds Air coverage for later trios.

Frozen + Fairy → Frost / Borealis

Why it’s great: Pretty dragons, especially in enchanted skins; mid-to-long timers.

Frozen + Water → Frigid / Polar

Why it’s great: Core to building out Frozen/Water habitats; Polar often shows up with recognizable timers.

Frozen + Air → Rime / Mistral

Why it’s great: Gives Air coverage while keeping Frozen in the pool; stylish models.

Fairy + Water → Dewdrop / Grotto

Why it’s great: Grotto ties into water-focused layouts; decent earnings.

Fairy + Air → Wink / Gossamer

Why it’s great: Gossamer is a fan favorite for design; wink wins on charm.

Water + Air → Whirlpool / Mist

Why it’s great: Whirlpool helps round out your Air set; both have moderate times.

Rare & Enchanted Highlights (What to Chase Next)

Below are the most asked-about targets and how they fit into your plan.

Venom (Fire + Jungle)

Elements: Fire + Jungle (2-star hybrid).

Why people want it: Early goal in many parks; quick timer (~45 min).

How to target: Keep breeding Fire/Jungle sets; try your luck on Epic Breeding Island to increase rare odds while running a second queue.

Cinder (Fire + Earth + Jungle)

Elements: Fire + Earth + Jungle (3-star hybrid).

Why people want it: It’s a signature three-element chase that marks your progression beyond simple pairs.

How to target: Use parents that, between them, cover all three elements (e.g., Magma + Jungle, or Wildfire + Earth). Expect a longer timer (2h 5m); stay patient.

Bahlrawg (Fire + Earth + Fairy)

Elements: Fire + Earth + Fairy (3-star hybrid).

Tip: Use your Fire/Earth pairings and add a Fairy element parent to include the third element. Breed time: 5 hours.

Fossil (Earth + Water + Frozen)

Elements: Earth + Water + Frozen (3-star hybrid).

Why it’s notable: A classic “long-timer” trophy dragon; patience required.

Enchanted versions: After you own the regular dragon, you can roll for the enchanted recolor using the same breeding elements—it’s just a rarer result with a bonus payout when you collect from habitats.

Breeding Caves & Odds: What Actually Helps

FeatureBreeding CaveEpic Breeding Island
UnlockStarterLevel 5 (costs 250 Gems)
Queue1 breeding slot+1 extra slot (parallel breeding)
Rare oddsStandardImproved odds for rare dragons
Best useEarly game basicsChasing rares/enchanted while keeping a second pair running

Why EBI matters: Getting a second queue doubles your attempts and improves rare odds—two pillars of faster progress. If you have to choose where to spend early gems, EBI is usually the pick.

Fast Tips for Better Results (8th-Grader Friendly)

  • Elements first, order never. Make sure the parents together cover the target elements. Don’t stress about which parent goes “left” or “right.”
  • Chase short timers when grinding. Quick hybrids (like Venom or Fern) keep your hatchery moving and your habitats filling.
  • Run two breedings at once. Use Epic Breeding Island to try more combos and bump rare odds.
  • Go enchanted later. Get the regular version first; then roll for the enchanted recolor with the same elements.
  • Use breed times as clues. If a timer is much longer than usual, you might have hit a special or multi-element dragon—don’t cancel!

Buying Guide (for Fans & Gift-Givers)

Even though DVW is offline, the community is still active around dragon art, collections, and the original DragonVale. If you’re shopping for a fan—or want to dress up your gaming corner—here’s how to choose.

What to Buy (and Why)

Google Play Gift CardPlayers of the original DragonVale or other mobile gamesTrusted retailer, correct region, sealed codeSimple way to gift gems/currency without guessing needs

How to Choose Well:

  • Match the element personality. Fire fans tend to like bold reds/oranges; Jungle lovers prefer green/leafy designs.
  • Check sizes and materials. Plush should be soft & sturdy; figurines should list paint quality and base stability.
  • Bundle smart. A small plush + a gift card = instant smile for DragonVale players.

FAQ (Quick Answers)

Does the parent order matter?

No. If your parents together have the right elements, the result pool is the same—order doesn’t change it.

How do I get enchanted versions?

Breed the same element combo after you own the regular version; enchanted outcomes are rare and add a habitat-collection bonus.

Best early upgrade?

Epic Breeding Island: second breeding slot + rarer odds.

Is DragonVale World still playable?

No. It was removed from stores on Nov 20, 2019 and shut down on Jan 10, 2020. (The original DragonVale is still alive under DECA Games.)
