I started a new game on my (android) phone to give this a go, just crept into level 8 when my water dragon was ready and ended up with a 20 hour breed! It would appear that TL liked your guide so much they decided to ruin it for everyone. Bah humbug.
Just tried again, and yep, got another 20 hour on the go.
Sorry but it doesn't work with the athletic dragons I keep gettin magic dragon at level 8&9 :(
This is my new account, got a magic dragon at level 8 again, I play on IOS device
Has anyone bred an athletic lately?
Second attempt in a row for Athletic and I'm getting another Magic at level 8. I don't understand because the market still shows that it isn't available till level 10. There is a quest called abracadabra to breed Magic maybe after we collect on it we'll be able to breed Athletic. I haven't even collected the coins from my habitats because I'm afraid it will push me up to level 10 and then I'll get nothing but Magics.
I'm leaving my pair in the breeding den until I get a response on my ticket
My wifes account is momadragon8. I am level 15 right now, your welcome to take a look.
I got 2 athletes at level 9 (one on nest and breed another). If I had second nest, I would have got three. When I got to level 10 and tried again, I immediately breed a magic with same combo. I am just about to hit level 17 on that account and easily have enough saved to immediately purchase a light habitat and light dragon egg. The strategy is working great, constantly expanding.
Are you guys Android or ios? Besides updates, I know for certain there are some other subtle differences. I can't imagine TL making a fix like that just because of a guide. They have got tons of other things to do. I play original Dragon Story (not Android New Dawn version). Please list ios or Android and software (Dragon Story or New Dawn) used.

I'm on Kindle. Island is kasaokc. I have IOS on my phone with same island name so if you're looking it's the level 8 one.
So I tried getting an athletic at level 9, and I got a 20 hr breed time. Tried breeding again, and I have a 14 hr breed time this time. First egg hasn't hatched yet, and the breeding should be done by now, so we'll see. But from what I can tell, I'm getting an athletic on my second try. I'm on Android OS.
i dont know if this guide is still effective on my part im lvl 22, but i think love dragon 400 coins per hour isnt tht great. getting a lot of love dragon i think its a bad i dea. i just started to breed diamond dragon and i got a lots of athletic honeybee eagle etc. and i think they are enough to be rich. at least i still had a chance to get a diamond. just sayin
but love dragon has a good exp gain :) 1,100
If you have a diamond dragon, then this is not the guide for you.
I started a game on my wife's phone and been running through this guide. Since it is my wife's phone, I only log in about twice per day but money is never an issue. Remember, you sell the Love dragons later. They are temporary.
One thing I'll add to this guide (as Android with cheap food costs), you can easily level your love dragons to level 7 with no issue on food or coin and still be expanding (evolve time is so fast).
I started on my wifes account a few days after I wrote this guide and I'm already in mid 20's and have lots of rares and a few super rares. You do not have to breed Love dragons exclusively, just to start. I have about 5 habitats full of them and starting to save for large light habitats now that the first island section is cleared. I just got a Tusker to!
After level 10, there is no reason to worry about not leveling up. That is just a trick with the Athlete dragon and apparently, based on feedback, only Android phones can do this.
Not everyone is able to breed high-earning dragons so easily ;) i remember i struggled a bit at first, but eventually managed to breed scoprion, eagle, fairy. Those boosted my income! But "back then" clearing costs weren't so high ! Expansion costed a bit more, but the stuff we need to hack away was less expensive in my earlier levels.
I'm tempted to get out my android phone and create an island on there, just to give this a go :) I currently play on iOS past level 70 and it would be a nice tiny break from trying to get a leopard dragon... Check out my island maybe?? ID is - MazShaddix (island is Overgrown Eden)
I also got immediately 2x Magic at level 7, following your guise. Even though in the market Magic shows locked till level 10 i was able to breed them as soon as i was able to get the water dragon at level 7.
I'm on Android running the "Dragon Story - New Dawn" version (1.0.5.4.2).
Cyclo, just thought you would like to know, I just started a new game on a new ipad and magic now appears to level 7. That is when the goal for magic appeared. Never got a chance to get athletic because water isn't available unitl level 7 either. So, magic has seemed to rear its head earlier than it use too.
Oh, and i started the game this past Sunday.
This would have been great to know when I started playing. I feel a little screwed now since I'm already at level 18 and I don't have any baby dragons. This is the first game like this I have ever played and so I am a little confused and frustrated as to the strategies for success. I really don't want to spend cash on this game to buy gold, but the higher up I get it seems like you need gold for EVERYTHING. Am I missing something here guys? I am surprised by how much I am enjoying the creativity of this game, but if I can't advance any further without spending actual dollars I may have to give it up. I would greatly appreciate any and tips, pointers, advice, shortcuts etc. you all can offer. Thanks bunches!!! :-))
hey i started playing today..and rreached level 7..wasted money on the clearing quests..wish i had seen this thread sooner..but never mind..will work on saving for the water dragon and breeding the athletic dragon..
No need for buying gold as long as you are patient enough. The gold provided for installing other TL games and other tasks is plenty enough.
Most important in my opinion is clearing space early on and maximize number of habitats (only go for big ones) on the cleared space. Stay away from decorations and other not functional stuff. Once you have around 20 habitats the money flow is enough to provide for all the tasks.
Confused...is the "Light" habitat the diamond or white one? I can't find one called "Light" specifically. I'm level 18 and hatching my first purple magic egg right now. I can get either diamond or white, but not both. And how do you get a light dragon? Coins or gold?
Cyclohexane this is an amazing thread!! I wish you've wrote this when I started playing! Great advices!!!! Good job! :)
To all the guys who say athletes are no longer available, that hurts but they are not necessary. Once your Love dragon economy kicks in, you don?t need them. However they were very useful getting my left and right dragons (red + blue rares). Check out the screenshots.

Check out how many Love dragons I have! Most of those are level 5 dragons (quick to evolve and only requires 165 food). Each one makes 514 per hour, or 1,542 per habitat (i.e. habitat maxed in about an hour and a half). If you can check in that frequently, you will be rolling in the cash.
I started playing this account a few days after I wrote this guide. I only check in twice per day (morning and night), sometimes after work but this is my wife?s phone. If I checked in every 2 hours, I?d have lots more income and be more advanced. With that said, I just got a Caesar, have two Tuskers, three athletes, all common light, epic Loves, epic light, epic super, fairy, etc. etc. I am at the point now where I can start replacing my Love dragons and their fire habitats with other desirable dragons on light habitats. Then I won?t need to check in frequently and will have the luxury to work on whatever dragon I like.
My first account on my phone I followed the quests and focused on getting basics to epic too much. With this account, I ignore the quests until I have a moment with no personal goals, then I go revisit them. I notice a definite difference in economy and how easy it is to spread out now and not struggling so hard. Still, don?t be discouraged if you did not follow, there is no wrong way to play!
i dnt know whether to be happy or sad..i was at level 9 when i bred water and fire to get the athletic dragon as per this guide..and i end up wid a left-heart dragon!! and tht pushes my xp and i hit 10 level..now my next breed has gotten me a 20 hr breeding time so i know its a magic dragon..there goes my chance of getting an athletic dragon..but am glad i atleast got the left-heart soon..tho lord know how and when wil get the rt-heart coz tht seems to be more rare..
i tried breed fire and water, but its come to left heart dragon.. not Athlete :(
OH WOW!!!! Wonderful thread, though very time comsuming plan, but thats okay, as all I do on free time is play DS.
Great Great Great Great Thread!!!!! =)
This is an excellent, well prepared guide for starters who require income independence. Wish I would have stumbled upon this thread before I reached level 13. No matter, I still find the information contained in the guide and thread beneficial. I didn't breed water+fire correctly; ended up with a fireworks egg:-) Anyway, I will attempt to breed lv4 water+fire tomorrow. I hope TL didn't get rid off Athletic Dragon. Thanks Cyclohexane!
I noticed a huge change in my silver supply when I started buying a lot of habitats. So my advice would be have as many habitats as space+cap will let you, and fill them with level 3 dragons. My daily silver doubled the first day I started this.
Oh and don't upgrade farms until maybe around level 20 or higher. Level 4-7 dragons are easy to get and the apple supply is actually more than the upgraded farms, it just requires you to collect hourly as the trade off.
But, spending money on food at all puts a huge dent in your daily income. So not worth it unless you have something you specifically want to level. Otherwise just keep 1000 apples ready and you should be good for as couple days
Pity :( i would like to think i did things sensibly in the game, but i read this only now :( :(..... Boo hoo hoo. Nevertheless, i will try to follow your tips, i am on lvl 21 :( dunno if it will help me now. The Foliage is already too **** expensive. i dont have money, dont have space :( you also mention Gold, Do Dragons give gold or just silver coins? pls clarify. im dying for Gold, These stupid TeamLava have made Nest for gold that too 250 no way can i have a 2nd one :( any tips? Also what the heck is a Purple dragon? i need to breed Red and Purple to get Cupid, yes i still havent come to this quest :( HEEEELLLLLPPPPPP MEEEE
You can get gold 3 ways:
1. Buy - if you do, wait for sale.
2. Wait for goals which ask you to install other team lava games: You can get 30 gold for installing & up to 2 x 15 for reaching certain levels depending on the game. Example of the games that give free golds for installing & leveling up are a) Fashion Story, b) Restaurant Story, c) Bakery Story & d) Slots. They offer gold to install & play whenever there is new game edition.
3. Receive as gifts from neighbors. You can get 1 gold from a neighbor everyday ( with 20/day I heard but not verified because I was never able to get that many ). And you can also give back up to 3 neighbors.
4. Wait, don't speed up. - Do not use gold to speed up. Just wait. In this case, the saying "Time is Gold" is very true because the Gold you never spend is a Gold you earn.
So without spending any money, you can get as many as 500 golds in 2 months of patience. :) Sufficient to buy a 2nd nest. In another month or so, you can buy a third nest for 500 golds.
Cheers!
Ooops... the #4 is an afterthought so not counted when I say 3 ways. :)
Purple(MAGIC DRAGON) iis a mix of water and fire dragon. 20 hours breeding time. Once you have it, you unlock a whole new world of dragons :)
Dragons only give silver coins. To get gold, you have to have neighbors who will gift it to you! The most secure way is to write on people's walls "I'm looking for gold buddies, I'll gift back every day!"
Meaning: if they gift you, you gift them back or vice-versa. Note that you can send only 3 gold a day, but you can receive up to 20 (which only happens to really lucky people xD)
And that's how we slowly earn gold.
Another way is to install and play other Team Lava games. In your goals, you may sometimes (and randomly) find goals that tell you to install and/or reach a certain level. To install they give you 30 gold (iOS users have to place a decoration before they get the gold) and then you can earn 15 more gold in two more goals by reaching certain levels.
You got there first xD
As for not speeding up - sometimes it may be necessary, like when trying for limited edition dragons. I sometimes speed up before going to bed when i check the time and it's going to be hatched long before I wake up.
I also never speed up when a timer drops below 40 minutes or so - I think that paying 1 gold for less than an hour is a waste!
