When you began your quest for the Iron Throne, you may have noticed villagers digging near the Port. Once you reach Keep level 2, these excavators will unearth an incredible discovery: a Dragon Pit containing a single intact Dragon Egg.
Your Dragon Pit can be constructed and upgraded like other buildings. This is where you hatch and raise your new Dragon Egg.
Once you've constructed your Dragon Pit, tap the dragon icon to get started. Daenerys will appear periodically to guide you in the basics of caring for your new Dragon Egg.
Feeding
You will need to Feed your Dragon in order for it to grow. When it is still an Egg, you will need to feed Wood to the Fires that warm it. After Hatching, it will need to consume meat in the form of Livestock.
You will get one Free Feeding each day. This does not consume any of your resources and will provide a bonus to subsequent feedings. Check in every day and feed your dragon to keep this bonus going up! This bonus is not permanent and will reset every 10 levels.
Once you have used your Free Feeding for the day, you should have 6 remaining feedings. Since feedings are limited, it is advised to select the maximum amount of Wood or Livestock you can afford to make the most of each feeding.
When your Dragon is still an Egg, tapping the Feed icon in the lower left of the screen will bring up the different amounts of Wood you can choose to feed the flame with at once. The more Wood you toss on the fire, the faster it will grow!
As you can see, 5,000 wood will add a small amount of XP to the egg but 500,000 will add a generous amount. Once you've chosen your amounts, tap the Feed button again.
Tapping the blue plus sign next to the amount will bring you to your inventory so you can unbox more Wood if you need it.
As you feed, you'll notice the blue XP bar, it will fill and you will periodically receive yellow "pips" in increments. These correspond to Dragon Talent Points which we'll learn more about in our Talents, Stats and Research Guide.
Once you have used all of your Feedings for the day, you will need to wait for the timer to run out before you receive the next day's 7 Feedings.
You can get more than 7 Feedings each day by using Bonus Feedings. These Bonus Feedings can be purchased in packs or earned as event rewards. If you have earned bonus feedings, you can click the blue plus sign to use it.
Note: Each day, your free feeding will be used first, followed by your normal daily feedings. After that, if you have bonus feedings available, you can choose to use them. Bonus feedings do not expire, they carry over until they are used. There is no cap on how many bonus feedings you can have waiting to be used.
Once your Egg's XP bar is full, it is time to upgrade it. Upgrades can require specific Items, Resources, Keep/Building Levels, or Research. Your first upgrade will require your Maesters to embark on a new research tree, Dragon Nurturing. We will explore Dragon Research in greater detail in our Dragon Talents, Stats, and Research guide.
Each Dragon upgrade will also require time. During this time, your dragon will be unavailable and, if you research combat down the road, it will be unable to defend your Keep. Speedup items or Gold can be used to cut down the amount of time it takes to upgrade your Dragon.
Note: New dragon abilities must be researched in the Maester’s Tower. Many of these researches have a dragon level requirement. Make sure, that as your dragon levels up, you plan out your research strategy.
Once your first Dragon Egg upgrade is complete, tap the dragon pit to be taken to your egg screen. Tap the collect button and welcome your new hatchling!
You will see that the color of your egg/dragon reflects the colors of your keep. If you change your banner color, your dragon may also change.
Now that your hatchling is here, it will want a proper meal. The grade of livestock you use to feed your dragon directly affects the amount of experience gained per feeding.
For the best results, maximize your feedings by choosing your best livestock and use all of your available feedings per day. Better livestock is denoted in the same way Crafting Materials display rarity. Livestock with a gray background is the most common and will provide the least amount of XP. Livestock with an orange background is the rarest and will provide the most XP.
Once a dragon has been fed enough, you can advance its level by upgrading it again.
Keep feeding your dragon and harness its power for an advantage on your quest for the Iron Throne!
Adult Dragons
If you feed your dragon enough, it'll eventually become an Adult Dragon! These more experienced Dragons are powerful enough to attack Seats of Power and unleash terrifying Fire Breath attacks upon your enemies.
Training
Once a Dragon reaches level 40, they then become an Adult Dragon. The level cap for them is 69.
Like each previous phase, research in the Nurturing tree is required to transition to the Adult phase and unlock major abilities.
In addition to Dragon Lore, Adult Dragons require Dragon Secrets to complete research and level upgrades. You can collect Dragon Secrets from level-up rewards, Daily Quests, Events, and Offers.
Research
- Level 40: Upon reaching the Adult phase, your Dragon will be able to learn the Fire Breath attack in the Nurturing research tree.
- Levels 45, 50, and 60: Your Dragon can increase its maximum Fire Breath charges.
- Level 41: Your Dragon can learn to attack and rally against Seats of Power.
- Level 60: They can learn to reinforce your own Seat of Power.
- Level 65: They can learn to reinforce your allies’ Seats of Power.
- Level 69: They can occupy a Seat of Power in a takeover march.
- Level 50: Your Dragon can learn to rally against creatures.
- Level 55: Your Dragon can learn to rally against other players’ Keeps.
- Level 60: Your Dragon can learn to reinforce allied players’ Keeps.
The Adult Research tree contains numerous opportunities for growth, including attack and defense buffs for specific troop types while your dragon is present on a march. You can also increase your Dragon’s maximum Tenacity, increase damage dealt with Fire Breath, and increase your army’s march size and speed while your Dragon is present.
In addition, new research is available in the Adolescent tree to increase the maximum damage dealt with Repel Strike.
Talents
Adult Dragons continue to earn Talent points as they level up. By level 69, your Dragon will have obtained a total of 790 Talent points from Egg through Adult.
Adults also unlock a new Talent tree, featuring powerful and flexible attack, defense, and health buffs for specific troop types while your Dragon is present on the march. New combo Talents include Fire Breath Damage, Dragon attack, and defense, Repel Strike Damage, Wall Damage, and Siege health.
Fire Breath
Fire Breath is a powerful attack that, like the defensive Repel Strike attack, deals damage to your opponent's army before they have a chance to attack your own. Once you have unlocked Fire Breath through research, your Dragon can use the attack on any march against any enemy.
Fire Breath is charged with Fire Stone - a new item that can be obtained from various rewards, Daily Quests, and Offers.
You may spend multiple Fire Stones to power up a Fire Breath charge. You will then need to wait sometime before powering up an additional charge (this timer can be skipped with Gold).
With each charge, your Dragon’s Fire Breath attack will be increasingly more powerful. If you have Fire Breath charges available, you can choose to expend them when beginning a march. The more charges you use, the more damage your Dragon will deal.
Note: Using a Fire Breath attack expends all available charges, so plan accordingly when preparing to attack.
Rallies
Adult Dragons can participate in Rally marches against players, creatures, and Seats of Power, provided you have completed the level and research prerequisites (see Research section above). The ability to join a Rally is decided by the individual Dragon’s level and research, not the Rally leader’s.
Each member that wants to add a Dragon to the rally must have the proper research unlocked, though anyone can still join the rally with troops alone. You may still join a Rally with your Dragon even if the Rally leader has not done the corresponding research.
With the proper training, research, and talents, your Adult Dragon will truly be a fearsome thing to behold and a powerful ally in your conquest of Westeros.
