Dragonvale Shrines Guide

by Neggs
So Dragonvale Shrines just hit and people are toying around with how they could work. Since the Dragonvale Shrines weren't that intuitive, I figured I'd explain how they work and why.

So Dragonvale Shrines ellude to the fact that once you have hit their dragon quota (for the specified dragon type) then you will be able to increase your Dragon's level further. Excellent. If you were paying attention upon its placement, you'll have also noticed that they can't be sold once they are placed. Being that it would be next to impossible for you to possses 50 fire dragons at any one time and have any real diversity in your park (the makers of the game realize this wouldnt really be very fun), the answer isnt have 50 of a given type of dragon at once, but over time. You see the Shrine records the amount of dragons you've leveled to 10. It maintains that count even though you may sell a dragon. So the way the shrines are intended to work is that a player would actively breed and sell a specific type of dragon to increase the cumulative count of say, Plant dragons.

Speaking of plant dragons, I'll draw you up an example on how you can quickly fill out that Plant dragon shrine.
  • Sell a dragon in your current plant dragon shrine
  • Buy a Plant Dragon Egg from your hatchery
  • Hatch the egg
  • Feed the dragon to level 10
  • Go to your shrine, check the count
  • Sell new Plant dragon
  • Start over again

So being that it takes around 10k food for a dragon to go to 1 to 10 and you need 50 dragons to activate the shrine quota, it will take you around 500k food to go from a shrine with 0 dragons (not really likely) to 50 dragons. If you're like me you've already got at least 10 of those knocked down. Since it costs about 50 gold per food, that shrine will take about 25 million to activate.

Currently a Dragon's max level is 15 and the food cost to get them there is very hefty (shown here). Once a dragon reaches level 15 they'll have a small globe near their head of their elemental attunement.

Since you'll be getting a new shrine each level and food levels you very quickly... you should be busy for a while activating those shrines. Have fun

Update:

Thought I'd add in the shrine obtainment levels of which some are logical assumption. As I level up, i'll update the list with any necessary changes.

Level 20 - Plant, Fire, Earth
Level 21 - Cold
Level 22 - Lightning
Level 23 - Water
Level 24 - Air

Can you breed the dragons, rather than buying them?
Neggs 5 months ago
Indeed, but it would take longer for plant, earth and fire. For the later ones you'll want to breed and level hybrids to get credit for multiple shrines at once.

Where are the shrines?

You get a cold shrine at level 21, I'd suggest using poison so you can get plant/fire finished, then work on earth / cold. It seems that when you place a shrine, it's retroactive from dragons you've already raised - something to keep in mind when planning future breedings.

Good idea

This may sound stupid, but where are the shrines? I got the update but I don't think i can see them anywhere. Am i missing something?
Dangonr 5 months ago
Shrines should be under 'Buildings' maybe you can't see it unless you're the required level for it, that's my only guess.

Just thought I'd add, earth dragons take 5 minutes to breed - they're the fastest for the earth shrine if you have the food

Storm Dragons work out to be quick for lightning / ice at 5 hours between breedings

And make fog dragons overnight (8 hours) for a lot of xp for water / air.

Your guide is great! Just wanted to share quick observations! :D

Hey Neggs, I was wondering what you mean by retroactive. I'm currently at level 21 and have plant/fire/earth/cold shrine unlocked. I don't have lightning/water/air shrines unlocked. If for example I get a snow dragon (cold/air) and level it to 10, I will get +1 to x/50 for cold. However, do you know if i will eventually get credit for the air portion of the hybrid once I have the shrine unlocked? Nice guide and keep up the good work!
Neggs 5 months ago
Your shrine starts getting credit for the dragons that were either in existence when the shrine was completed (perhaps retroactive was a poor choice of words) and any dragons that come after the shrines completion. However the shrine will not give credit for any dragons that you may have already bred and sold in the past.

Sooo, that would mean that I would have to put my moon dragon into overtime to get the sufficient amount of gold. Unless I want to spend $50 on a game.

Anyone know why the shrines are now losing amounts when I sell a dragon to make room for another? I can no longer get ahead in order to make it to 50.

Hi. I am level 25, I have ALL shrines unlocked and they are all silver. My dilemma is that, even though I have all of my dragons at level 15, they are all STILL silver. Any thoughts on how to fully activate them?

I seriously recommend to level up Panlong, storm & willow to lv 15 in order to get the golden shrines. Even with this mega type combo you need to make 49'149,000 treats to level them up. Get to work. Oh, it's 2,457'450,000 money to grow all that food (supposing you grow beanstalks). Good luck.

It don't think you get any experience points or gems for activating the shrines. Why is that? It takes a lot of time and coin to activate them. Am I missing something?

Does anyone know how to turn a panlong dragon to lvl 20
xstvox 2 months ago
FALSE

"Once a dragon reaches level 15 they'll have a small globe near their head of their elemental attunement."

I have a lvl13 Crystal with a lightning globe on him. I think it's once he's at least lvl 11 it appears.

DONT SELL YOUR DRAGONS!!!!! Buy a hibernation cave, it will hold dragons freeing up room in habitats. This way you can move in and out dragons to level them up and not have to repay to feed the to 10 again so you can feed then to fifteen. Works awesome and saving me loads of money on food!!!!

I was so mad after I sold about 20 dragons then bought the cave to see what it did to my surprise when I went to place a newly hatched I didn't have room for it allowed me to put it there almost like a habitat, although...

You can not feed dragons or collect money while they are in the hibernation cave but once you level to 10 move it to hibernation the place a new dragon in its spot on the habitat it once occupied. I also like to put new borms here till I have enough food to level then then switch the out with a level 10 so I can keep making the level 10 dragon $$ till I can feed my baby up to 10 and earn the money faster.

The hibernation cave will hold 50 dragons but can be upgraded to 100 and it says it can be upgraded even more for gems but I don't have enough to see how many more it will hold. This way you can keep all your dragons and not have to re-breed then re-feed saving time and money. Works awesome for me I have 80 in hybernation and all 22 of my habitats filled with dragons. This all my shrines but 2 are silver currently.

Second tip/trick breed dragons that fit multi-categories like: love, panglong etc as they will add to all categories that they are made of.

If this helps or you enjoyed my advice add me, i like new friends! I also gem for gem so if you want to share free gems add me! Dragonvale addict!!!
