Hey everyone! The names Hunter and as of late, I've been playing a lot of dragon city
I've been playing for a few years now off and on and for some reason as of late I wanted to have a free game that I could check every few hours

The game changed so much since I've last played it though (that's a good thing)
And that convinced me to join the forums (First ever Forum I joined as well, so woo!)

I've always been internet shy though so I might sentence things odd.
Buut.... I believe this is honestly a great community

Here are some notable stats of mine!

Level-31
Not the highest level honestly, but I've gotten a few dragons from the events

Notable Dragons
EmberScale Dragon - Level 13
My first 4 element Dragon and probably my weakest "Competitive Dragon"
Chocolate Dragon - Level 20
My first event dragon (from a while ago, I can't remember for the life of me what event it was) He reminds me of that one episode of SpongeBob (You know the one )
Night Forest Dragon - Level 20
Legend of Zelda! Need I say more?

I'll leave this warm welcome with a few questions I have

What is your recommended way to get gold and food?
What should I save my gems for? Hatchery spaces? Island Expnsions? Heroic Races that I could potentially win?
And lastly, How should i attempt to fill up my dragon book? (just the first 200-300 dragons)

Thank for listening

To answer your questions:

1. The typical way, which is building mow habitats for gold, and constantly growing food. I don't do the food questions in the coliseum often, but do watch videos. The place I get the most food from is grid events.
2. All three, and a ultra breeding tree and kindergarten will become useful in the future. Try your best to buy them during discount
3. Mostly just breeding, and finishing the coliseum cups. Some events will have old dragons, but only 1 or 2 at a time.

WELCOME to the forum, @Hunter-Veinotte ... have some ice cream (@DragonLove’s “go-to”)

gold ‘n food - any and every opportunity ... fill islands with habitats and dragons to generate gold; food farms (mine are set at 11 for 3hr and 3 for 9hr collections when not in a Race), Dragon TV, Quests and Events are good for food gathering also.

i use gems to purchase islands (wait for 50% sales) and during Races to buy out last fights when needed (can usually make it to L15 to get the Dragon ... sometimes a to L20).

GL fill’n the Dragon Book ... ... been here 1-1/2yr and still missing a few up to the 300ish mark.

Welcome to the forums!! Please feel free to browse around, there is a lot of good info to pick up on. Now on to your questions.

What is your recommended way to get gold and food?

Upgrade your farms and farm as much as you can the highest level that you have. In the beginning it is probably best to farm one or two of the highest and the others what you can reasonably collect in a day.

What should I save my gems for? Hatchery spaces? Island Expnsions? Heroic Races that I could potentially win?

I would suggest you wait for sales and upgrade your hatchery to the 5 slots, upgrade either your mountain or tree to level 2 and as necessary your sanctuary and/or island expansions and at least one kindergarten. Again except for the sanctuary save to purchase during sales, not at the full prices.

And lastly, How should i attempt to fill up my dragon book? (just the first 200-300 dragons)

Don't put too much time and stress into worrying about the dragon book. Complete and fill it as you can. If you were to worry about anything then I would say concentrate on getting all the breedable dragons that you can. Work on upgrading your sanctuary so that you can get the good 4 element legend dragons from there. On your tree or mountain concentrate on breeding Kratus to rank him up, he makes a good fighter for the leagues and arenas.

With all that said, check out this thread there is some great tips to get you started. But if you cannot find what you are looking for, search the forum to see if your questions have been asked and answered and if not, feel free to ask your question(s).
