I've just started Dragon Cave. Any Tips?

[azhdarchid]

A warm welcome to DC! I'm sure others will give you lots of tips, but my first one: Clicksites! They're very important to hatching your dragons, as putting them in your signature might not be enough (I lost a lot of eggs before I finally figured out how to hath them)

Just google search (or your chosen search engine) 'Dragon Cave Clicksites' and you'll see a bunch! You enter your username, check off the eggs you want to receive views; it's as easy as that!

Also, Red Dragons (not just any red colours dragons but the breed with the name 'Red Dragons') are very useful to helping you hatch eggs sooner! They have a special action that removes a day from an egg's timer, called 'Incubate'! And Pink dragons are nice because they let you influence an egg's gender to be their own! (Ie: female Pink uses 'Influence' on an egg, that egg is more likely to grow up to be female)

I've just started Dragon Cave. Any Tips?

Lots of good information in the first post of this thread, including some links to the click sites Blupcretia told you about! Also, the Dragon Cave Halloween event is going on through the 31st. Here's a copy of a post about that!

For anyone who needs a refresher or might be new to Halloween on DC.


Here is a quick overview of what goes on at DC for their Halloween Event and some FAQs.

When does Halloween start on Dragon Cave?

It started on Wednesday, 10/25!

What happens?

First, all old Halloween dragons are able to breed true again. Halloween Dragons on your scroll (and everybody's scroll) that are bred during this time will ALWAYS produce Halloween offspring. They can also breed more than one! Clutches of 3-4 are quite common. You can only keep one per clutch, the rest auto abandon to the AP.
Halloween eggs in the Abandoned Page instantly go to the front of the queue, so you'll see them hit there as soon as they start to be bred.
There are literally THOUSANDS going through the abandoned page, so you'll have no trouble getting some.

Second, there is a special Halloween biome where you can catch Cave Born species of all the previous Halloween dragons that have been released on DC. This is BRAND NEW this year and is really exciting!

Third, there's Trick or Treating. On DC, Trick or treating is the release of around 50 or so cute little pixel sprites for us to collect on site. You can see mine >here<! If you have never played before you will get a new badge on your scroll.

How Does that work?

Every 10 minutes or so, a pixel sprite will appear on site. You might have to refresh for it do so, it won't auto-pop up if you're just sitting on one page.
Just click on it to collect it!
Don't worry about losing track of them, because once they appear they'll be on every page you visit until you grab it.
Then wait and repeat! It might sound like a lot of collecting, but it's actually pretty easy to do during the course of normal play.
You won't see any duplicates and they are non trade-able, just collectable.

How many pixel sprites are there to catch?

This year there are 50 pixel sprites to catch.

This year, the additional event is a dragon dress up/trick or treating with your dragon game.

You get to pick a dragon to play the game with. You gather candy and can swap candy for costume items for your dragon. If I find out more details I will add them here.

All that stuff goes on until Halloween 10/31 when...The new Halloween Dragon drops!

The final and what some see as the big event, this year's new Halloween dragon.

Halloween 2017 dragons will drop all day in all biomes, and they are the ONLY thing that drops. It's a bit crazy trying to get one during the first few minutes of the midnight release, but by late afternoon everyone is sated and there's basically no one in the biomes. You will have zero trouble getting them, I promise.
There is NO limit on new Halloween eggs from the Biomes so make sure you have a few open egg slots on 10/31!

When the clock strikes midnight on 10/31 Halloween ends.

Halloween dragons no longer can breed (oh, and so you know--Halloweens bred this year are placed on automatic cool-down so they can't breed until after Halloween, too). However, all those glorious Halloween eggs in the AP will continue to stay there. In the last few years, we've had so many that the AP was filled with Halloweens for nearly a full week after it was over!

In approximately how many hours us rollover on DC? It's all different times so I'm confused. XD

[barb_]

Dragon Cave runs on US Eastern Standard time and roll over is midnight EST.

Is there a safe amount of click sites to use? What happens if I use too many?

[azhdarchid]

If your eggs get a bunch of views too quickly, they can get sick. When an egg/hatchling is sick, you get a notification and you can Fog the egg/hatchling in the actions menu until they're no longer sick! Once they're adults, they can't get sick ore die (unless you kill them)

I typically use 1-3 clicksites, that seems to be enough to work!

Free witchlight! Please post if you take it ^-^

Claim my eggs/hatchlings!

Still available:)

[Ariana Black]

-coughs- just caught another cb shadow walker people must be egg locked cause it going slow. Since all my eggs are hatching soon I'll be safe to get the new dragons

[vibrancy]

So far, I've managed to catch a CB of every Halloween dragon, except Pumpkins. Dang, those little ones are sure elusive. I even caught two Shadow Walkers, but Pumpkins keep avoiding me. Hopefully I can snag one soon.

Edit;; well, yay, I just caught one! Now I can go to bed haha.
