Now that gold is useful again, I've been thinking about maximizing my income based on my dragon population. It's a tricky thing to do but fun to plan, nonetheless. So I started looking at the level 10 earn rates of all the dragons and then dividing them up into the habitats they could live in. My goal here is to find out which dragons are profitable in the most useful habitats. Since I'll be checking in on my dragons every hour or so and obviously they'll go for 8 hours or so at night whilst I sleep, I wanna maximize the profits for the high capacity common habitats such as Earth, Cold and Water. The rest of the habitats have such low caps that they aren't really that useful to maximize. You see, what I'm trying to pull off here is getting the most back for the buck on dragons in my park while still having one of each kind of dragon. I like to maintain the one of each kind of dragon because new dragons are offered regularly enough and I'd rather not have to breed from scratch to obtain them. That being said, I have no problem doing away with the the common, gold purchased dragon eggs. Earth Earnings (75k cap, 3 dragons)
Quake and Crystal are the top earners here and bone but since bone isn't easily created, we'll just stick to Quake and Crystal. So theorhetically, we want all Quake and Crystal Dragons in our earth habitats for maximized profits. As you can see I've added 'can live in x' to each dragon. If they aren't top earners, that is where they will be in my park (provided there is space). Cold Earnings (50k cap, 3 dragons)
Blue fire, obviously but its interesting to see that a seasonal dragon holds that top spot strongly. So its time to breed breed breed for some reindeer dragons until you cant anymore! Move the others to other habitats. Water Earnings (30k cap, 4 dragons)
Interestingly enough we see that water's main dragon does rather well on earnings. He's easy enough to make. Let's not count Fog out though, strong earnings there as well. So here comes the hard part. We know the dragons we want to keep, lets see how we can minimalize on the poor earning habitats. The goal here is to try to make sure to minimalize each of these habitats while still maintaing our 'every possible dragon' setup. I'm also going to add in some of the high earning habitats and their population to get an accurate count. Plant - 4 dragons
Lightning - 4 dragons
Air - 4 dragons
Fire - 4 dragons
Earth - 3 dragons
Cold - 3 dragons
Water - 4 dragons
That's 8 total habitats to keep my 1 of everything rule (except the primary dragons) and the 2nd Water habitat has room for more. So at level 20 the game gives us 18 habitats and it only takes 8 to fulfill our quota. That means you can do whatever you want with the other 10. Unless you get 4 Blue Fire dragons in an Ice habitat, you're not gonna beat out the production of a Rainbow dragon but because of the new caps, you can beat out the Sun and Moon dragon with very profitable habitats. As for me, I'd probably go heavy on the Cold and Earth habitats for the time being. Since Reindeer is part plant, 10+ levels are easily accessible to him and since he's a holiday dragon, time is limited. Once I've fully optimized my dragon park I'll post an update on things that may have changed my perspective in the scope of this guide. |
