DragonVale: Best Breeding Combinations
Want to earn the MOST money you can as FAST as you can from the dragons you breed?
I’ve taken the data from the DragonVale Wiki and have arranged it so it’s easy to see the best dragons to breed in terms of money earned (by selling the dragon) per hour spent incubating/hatching the egg.
I’ve arranged it alphabetically by the elements that make up a dragon egg (where order doesn’t matter).
I’ve also highlight in red any combinations that have a very high, mostly equal earning rate per hour spent incubating/hatching (usually around $100,000 per hour). Incidentally, these are primarily dragons that have light or dark parents.
Knowing the amount of money you can sell a dragon for based on the length of time it takes you to breed the dragon is important since several combinations (e.g. Quicksilver vs. Rust) have one possible dragon outcome that would make a lot of money, but the other possible outcome is a low earner. By highlighting pairs where either possible offspring is a high earner, it helps you choose which dragons to breed if you’re trying to earn money quickly.
