How to Breed the Salamander Dragon in DragonVale (Fire + Water)

The short answer: breed any two dragons that carry Fire and Water between them — Fire Dragon + Water Dragon is the simplest. Breeding takes 9 hours 30 minutes (7h 36m upgraded). It is permanent and needs level 14.

Quick facts

Why it is worth breeding

The Salamander is one half of the Jade Dragon recipe (Salamander + Plasma), so if you collect gemstones you will want one levelled past 4 before Jade season starts in mid-May.

Tips

• Fire and Water are both primaries, so most parks can try this as soon as they reach level 14.
• Other Fire/Water pairs work too — the rule only cares that both elements are present.
