Dragon Growth

From Dragon Village Collection Wiki
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Once a dragon is obtained, it will begin to grow and eventually evolve into the next stage if its growth requirements are met. Various factors will affect the speed that the dragon will grow, and some items can be used to cause a dragon to evolve rapidly. A dragon must evolve into the next stage within 5 days or else it will die.

Dragons typically have four stages of growth: egg, hatch, hatchling, and adult. Some species may not have all four stages, however, such as Hydragon Egg Sprite.pngHydragon or Azak Egg Sprite.pngAzak. A dragon will stop growing if it dies, is frozen, or becomes an adult.

A dragon's growth is dependent on happiness accumulated, which is raised by how high a dragon's Comfort Level is, and how long it's been in one stage - also known as it's growth time.

Comfort Level

A dragon's Comfort Level can be raised through various means such as cares or being placed in the Incubator and indicates the dragon's mood. A high Comfort Level will mean that the dragon is happy and that the dragon will gain happiness faster and thus grow faster, while a low Comfort Level means that the dragon is sad, will gain less happiness, and thus grow slower. The table below outlines the different Comfort Levels as well as what they mean for the dragon.

Comfort Level Description
Sad Comfort Level Icon.png

Sad

This is the lowest Comfort Level. If a dragon is sad, they won't gain any more happiness, and if left completely sad its maximum growth time, will not evolve and die. Sad dragons may be put in the Incubator, given cares, or vitamins to increase their Comfort Level.
Normal Comfort Level Icon.png

Normal

This is the middle Comfort Level. If a dragon is normal, it will slowly gain happiness and will be able to evolve if given enough time. Putting a sad dragon in the Incubator or performing a care may raise the Comfort Level to this level.
Happy Comfort Level Icon.png

Happy

This is the highest Comfort Level. If a dragon is happy, it will quickly gain happiness and will be able to evolve after enough time has passed in its growth stage. The use of vitamins will keep a dragon's Comfort Level at this level.
Sick Comfort Level Icon.png

Sick

This is a Comfort Level that occurs when a dragon receives a care that causes its Comfort Level to exceed the maximum. If a dragon is sick, they cannot evolve, be trained, or be traded. If not healed before its maximum growth time is up or if the dragon is cared for twice while sick, the dragon will die. A dragon can be healed through the Heal action or through the use of the Remedy Item.pngRemedy item.
Stun Comfort Level Icon.png

Stunned

This is a Comfort Level that occurs when a dragon is under the effects of the Stun special action. For 24 hours, the dragon will have its growth, including its growth time, paused. In this state, the dragon cannot evolve, be cared for, or do any trains, but has no risk of dying.

A dragon's Comfort Level will decay overtime at random intervals. This is not species specific, and one dragon could experience significant decay while another dragon of the same species could experience only slight decay. Alternatively, a dragon's Comfort Level can be kept at maximum for a certain period of time through the use of the Pino's Vitamins items, such as Pino's Vitamins (8h) Item.pngPino's Vitamins (8h), Pino's Vitamins (24h) Item.pngPino's Vitamins (24h), and Pino's Vitamins (72h) Item.pngPino's Vitamins (72h). Exceeding a dragon's maximum Comfort Level will result in it getting sick, preventing it from evolving.

Incubator

The Incubator is a special function where dragons can be placed to slowly accumulate happiness without the need to care for the dragon. Generally, if a dragon is kept in the Incubator close to when it began its growth stage, it will evolve on its own without any player involvement. However, this does not guarantee that a dragon will not die if incubated too close to its maximum growth time.

Cares

A dragon in growth will have six cares to choose from in order to boost its Comfort Level. Each dragon has four general cares as well as two cares specific to that dragon species.

The amount of the Comfort Level raised is dependent on what care you use on what dragon. If the care used exceeds its maximum Comfort Level, the dragon will get sick.

Care Dialogue

On the Care action menu, the dragon will say a bit of dialogue that indicates what care you can use that will raise the Comfort Level without getting the dragon sick, or if no cares can be used without getting the dragon sick at that time. There are three lines of dialogue the dragon can say relating to cares per stage. Click the expand button below to see what line of dialogue corresponds to what care. (Note: Some cares may have the same dialogue lines.)

Sickness

Sickness occurs when a dragon's Comfort Level exceeds its maximum by over-caring for it. In this state, the dragon cannot evolve, be traded, or put in the Incubator.

The dragon may be healed through the Heal action that becomes available when a dragon is sick, and can either be healed normally or instantly healed using a Remedy Item.pngRemedy. Healing normally will cure a dragon after a certain period of time, usually between 30-60 minutes.

If two cares are performed while the dragon is sick or if the dragon remains sick until the end of its growth time, the dragon will die.

Sickness can be avoided by using the Protect special action on a dragon to prevent the Comfort Level bar from exceeding the maximum for 6 hours.

Happiness & Growth Time

Each dragon has it's own individual "growth time" for each stage, which means the minimum time it must be in each stage before it is able to evolve into the next one. You can check the growth time of each stage for a dragon on it's specific wiki page.

A dragon will accumulate happiness so long as its comfort level is increased, and if the dragon has enough happiness when it reaches its minimum growth time, the dragon will be able to evolve.

The longer the dragon has remained in one stage, the less happiness is required for it to evolve. For example, if a dragon is kept in one stage for 4 days and 10 hours, it will only take a few hours of a full comfort level for its happiness requirement to be met and the dragon will then be able to evolve.

Even if a dragon has had its comfort level at maximum, it will not be able to evolve until it has met its minimum growth time requirement, unless an action is used if applicable.

Adore

Depending on the amount of happiness that the dragon has accumulated, the dragon may be capable of evolving before its minimum growth time requirement is met through the Adore action that will appear. This action will only appear 6-7 hours before a dragon's minimum growth time requirement has been met if it has obtained a high amount of happiness during its time in growth. If the Adore action is not used when available, the dragon will evolve on its own when it reaches its minimum growth time.

Accelerating Growth

A dragon's growth can be accelerated through the use of special items, such as Dragon Drink Item.pngDragon Drinks and Special Dragon Drink Item.pngSpecial Dragon Drinks. These items will boost a dragon's growth percent and, if the dragon reaches 100% through these items, they will automatically evolve.

Additionally, there is also the Rapid Growth Pill Item.pngRapid Growth Pill item, which will guarantee that the dragon will evolve to adult in 24 hours (8 hours each stage).

There are other things that may accelerate a dragon's growth through events. For example, your very first dragon that you obtain during the tutorial will have a rapid-growing effect placed on it which behaves similarly to a dragon under the effects of the Rapid Growth Pill Item.pngRapid Growth Pill. Dragons placed in the Special Brooder during the Xmas Event also had a similar effect.
