how to level up faster in dragon story?

[NancyJosJewels]

Here is what I wish I had known when I started playing...
1) To earn coins, it's less about dragons than habitats. Buy the highest yielding habitat's as fast as you can and put your new hybrid dragons in the highest yielding habitat they can go in. Big habitats - blue 3,600/hr - green 3,200/hr - yellow 2,900/hr - red 2,500/hr. Then, when you level up enough to buy the light dragon, do so and start buying the white habitats that yield 7,200/hr. This will maximize your coins when you can't collect often, such as when you're sleeping.
2) Farms - Buy the minimum of farms that are required to satisfy challenges, but no more until you get to level 17 when you can buy the Enchanted Farms. Then, start buying the Enchanted Farms instead of upgrading small farms. You can sell your small farm and buy an Enchanted Farm for 100,000 coins, or upgrade your small farm to a large farm for 30,000 and then upgrade that to an Enchanted Farm for 100,000. Selling and then buying saves you 30,000 coins. You don't get any credit for the farm you're upgrading, so you may as well save for the big one and not waste your coins. You won't be able to fully utilize the Enchanted Farms until you start making a lot of coins, but you'll save coins in the long run.
3) Challenges - Don't necessarily try to do the dragon challenges. Make a spreadsheet to track you dragons and figure out the best dragons to level up first. Calculate the cost of food vs earnings. I got a Rainbow dragon early on and wasted a ton of food leveling him up for a challenge, only to discover that he only earns 652/hr at level 10. (I'm at level 60 and still haven't completed that challenge)
4) Do all of the other game challenges. Every few days. TL will give you the option to play another game for Gold, all you have to do is install it and play it once for 30 gold, then you can keep playing to a certain level for another 15, and then an additional level for another 15. And usually they're pretty fun.
5) Put your storm8 id on your wall. Go to Menu --> Overview -->Wall and post a message with your id and ask people to add you. You'd be surprised how many people will see it.
6) Remember that this game is a marathon, not a sprint. Unless your a Trustafarian with tons of money to spend, it will probably take a few years to get all of the breedable dragons that are out now. I'm not sure if I'll ever be done because TL keeps adding dragons and levels. Not that I mind. I love this game because every time I breed 2 dragons, it's like a present on my birthday. I don't know what I'll get. Sometimes it's something I already have, but every once in a while it's either something I don't have, or even better, something I've wanted.
