Questions
No. DragonVale World Guide is an independent fan resource. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by the game's developer or publisher.
Every combination, breeding time and availability note in the tools is taken from one of our published guides, and each result links to that guide. Nothing is an official game value, and the game can change without notice.
No. Breeding is random. A documented pairing only makes a dragon possible; some, like Crackle, succeed in roughly one attempt in twenty.
Only when dates have been announced and checked. When nothing is confirmed, the Event Tracker says so instead of guessing.
No account is involved. The Collection Tracker and Park Planner save to this browser only. Clearing site data or switching device loses them, so use Export to keep a copy.
Use the Contact page and tell us the page and what is wrong. Confirmed corrections are made on the page and noted with an updated date.
