A breeder has a score based on the number of
galleons (the sorcerer currency unit) and on the total weight of all
his born dragons (as well as the sum of all his dragons skills beginning at
level 3).
The simulation (i.e. all the miscellaneous computation about heat, thirst, hunger, ...) is done
once per hour only; hence, don't be surprise if it takes some time for our pumpkins, dragons, ...
to grow!
With only a few minutes a day on this site, you will keep your dragons healthy and you will
make progress in your dragon breeding skills!

Dragon Eggs
Dragons hatch from an egg: exactly like chickens!
For sure, the dragon egg is much bigger; moreover, the mother dragon
heat the egg by spitting gentle how flames on it.
As you probably don't spit flames (I hope!), you need a different method
to heat the egg: place the egg in a cauldron and put the cauldron in
a burning fire. The quantity of heat before hatching is between 4,000 and
6,000 kcal.
In order to ensure a better heat tranfer between the fire and the egg, the
egg must be placed in the water (like in your kitchen). But, water
evaporates... and you need to refill the cauldron every hour or so
by pouring waterin it.
Magical wood logs are mandatory to heat the cauldron. Each log produces 200 kcal
over one hour: exactly the time required to burn completely. If you do the math,
you need between 20 and 30 hours (and the same number of logs of course) to give
enough heat to the egg (of course assuming that there is always enough water to
maximize the heat transfer).
As they are magic, you need to go to the Diagon Alley (1 galleon per log).
The shipping direct to your cellar will be done by the shops.
Do not forget to go downstiar in your cellar to bring back the log to your fire!
The beauty with magical logs is that once a log is completely burned, another one
from the stack of logs will fly directly in the fire!
Hagrid, himself, will give you the first dragon egg with some money (50
galleons) to take care of it. But, until further notice, your fire is only large enough
to boil a single egg!If you want to breed further dragons, you'll need
to buy other eggs in the Diagon Alley (or at the
Gringotts Stock Exchange) for a price of 10
galleons. But, until further notice, your fire is only large enough
to boil a single egg!
Dragon Babies
Dragon babies hatch after about 2 days of heathing, they have a weight of
1 to 3 kg (2 to 6 pounds) for a height of 20 to 30 cm (about 1"). Hagrid
will congratulate you by giving you 30 galleons
after the hatching.
The Dragons
Once hatched, the dragons will grow very very fast (about 1% per hour, this
makes 26% a day -- don't agree? make the math ;-)!
A dragon becomes adult once he is 1.5 meter tall (5");
this will require between 7 and 9 days of continuous growth -- assuming a well fed and well cared
of dragon of course). Once they are adults, they change their physical look and
are able to reproduce.
But their growth does not stop! They continue to grow until more than 4 meters (about 12")
and to get more weight until more than 500 kg (1000 pounds)... The maximum
weight is reached after 11 to 12 days and the
maximum size is reached after 11 to 13 days. Each
dragon has a maximum size different than the others.
Every dragon has a set of parameters:
In order to do so, you have to:
To go in your cellar, it is first necessary to go in your house (by selecting the arrow Home in the menu on the left hand pane), then, to choose to go down in the cellar
To fill the cellar, it is necessary for example to go in your field and to collect pumpkins (to even open a pumpkin to collect 20 seeds out of them). Or to go to buy goods with the Diagon Alley shop or the Gringotts Stock Exchange. To empty the cellar, it is necessary to go first in the house and to go down in the cellar. You will have then the choice tto sell at a fixed price with a merchant of the Diagon Alley (in general at a not very good price) or , to sell with the Gringotts Stock Exchange or to:
Note: There is a rumour that the choc-pumpkins exist.
They are chocolate pumpkins that are a delight for your dragons:
they will no longer be hungry nor thirsty, and their morale will return to 100%,
they will grow a little, even if they have reached their maximum weight.
In addition, a single choc-pumpkin is enough for all your dragons!
Alas, no breeder knows how to obtain these choc-pumpkins!
However, you can drive your dragon at the edge of the forest without any problem
Your dragon gets rid of pests and other evil creatures by spitting flames
(as long as its flame thank is not empty), which will fill its stomach.
However, hunting is stressful, thus increasing its nervousness!
And its concentration in hunting decline ... So it eats less and less
with the time passing.
When a dragon has a good morale (greater than 80%), and
if it spends a long time in the Forbidden Forst, sometimes, it will bring you some
magical logs!
The number of 'harvested' logs depends on its size and on the length of time
it spent in the Forest.
But your dragons love to go to Hogwarts to boost their morale!
Multiple Fields
Breeders of level 5 and above can buy new fields (at a price of 10
galleons per m 2. Each of these fields will have a unique name.
The owner of these fields may give access rights to other breeders:
By clicking on
, it is possible to change
the order of listing of the various fields to which you have access.
Simply click on the up or down arrows.
It is also possible to hide a field (eg because it is empty or
poorly maintained): Hidden Fields will no longer be shown
as a possible place of destination.
By clicking on the trash bin , you can
give up your access right on that field. This can not be undone
(unless you ask again to the owner a right of access).
If you were a co-owner and that you invested money in this field
in order to extend it, you will be refunded and the area
of the field will be reduced accordingly. If your dragons were
in the field, they will be automatically moved to the dragon sitting.
Magical Lake
It is a place for all breeders (so that you can come across other dragons!).
A place with a little touch of magic which is primarily used by dragons
to quench rapidly: in a few seconds, their mouths swallow water as fast as
they spit fire! And they drink up to 20% of their thirst in an instant.
There is therefore no need to stay longer in most cases.
Forbidden Forest
This is the second location common to all breeders. It is a place strictly prohibited for the Hogwarts students.Hogwarts Castle
It is also a place for all breeders. With a little luck,
you can cross your heroes: Harry, Ron and Hermione!Dragon Sitting
This is the daycare for dragons (both babies and adults).
You can leave your dragons for one or more days, they will have neither
hunger nor thirst, but on the other hand they do not grow and grow.
To put a dragon on the Dragon Sitting, simply move it there.
The price of the Dragon Sitting is 0.01 galleon(s)/night/dragon.
The Weather
The weather conditions change from day to day!
They follow the seasons in the Northern hemisphere.
Each weather condition has an impact on crops (growth rate,
moisture levels) and, in some cases, on your dragons (flame consumption, moral, ...).
Weather | Field moisture | Plant Growth | Morale | Flame |
AVERSE | 2.5% | 1.0x | -2 | -2 |
BROUILLARD | 0.5% | 1.0x | -1 | -1 |
BRUINE | 1.0% | 1.0x | -1 | -1 |
NEIGE | 0.0% | 0.5x | 1 | -4 |
NUAGE | -2.0% | 1.0x | 0 | 0 |
OURAGAN | 9.9% | 1.0x | -5 | -5 |
SOLEIL | -4.0% | 2.0x | 1 | 2 |
