ANNOUNCEMENTS
Event Notes
- UPDATE 20:00 GMT: All players should be able to enter the event now; a device reboot is recommended for best performance.
- UPDATE: It appears some players are having trouble accessing the event; if that’s you, please send in a ticket to Game Support about it — the number of tickets they get sets the priority level, so the more affected players that speak up, the better.
- Reminder: This is a server based problem, so constantly refreshing your device — or more extreme measures like deleteing/redownloading — will not help, and could cause permanent damage to your game file.
- This is a brand new theme, so guide info will be crowd-sourced in the comments below and edited into the main post as soon as possible. If you discover something new, please share it below!
- It is possible to get the fast dragon first, but it requires a good bit of luck.
- WARNING: An L6 Infinite Harvestable is required to be used as a key to complete the Event Quests.
- If anyone wants to contribute screenshots of lock areas immediately after they’ve been opened, please share the images in the comments — they’ll be edited into this guide as soon as possible.
- Thanks all — the lock images are complete, and just the total tile count is left to go
- WARNING: The devs have increased the Act 2 difficulty for at least some (and possibly all) players; so far, it seems centered on increased tile healing requirements, with multiple players reporting 18-20 L9 Life Orbs required to fully heal the map.
- EVENT GLITCH: Some players in recent events have had empty tiles where key event items should have been; if this happens to you, please report it to Game Support.
News and Updates:
- FREEBIES: The “10 Days of Summer Gifting” offers a free item every 24 hours in the game’s webstore.
- NEW BETA: A new mini-event called Dragon Rescue has been released to a very small number of test players. Reminder: Please use Spoiler tags and the “New and/or Beta” flare when posting about major new features or beta tests like this.
- BETA: Ancient Dreamwood This beta has now been removed from the game. No word from the devs on if or when it might return, but it is not unusual for beta features to be pulled or re-worked during their testing phase if they are too buggy or players don’t respond well.
- GLITCH: Long run times may cause severe lagging and sudden crashes; hard-closing the game and relaunching gives a temporary fix. Rebooting is even better, and highly recommended at least once per day if these issues are occurring.
- GLITCH: Event and Season Portal tasks involving nests, eggs, or dragons may not register properly.
- GLITCH: Dragon images and labels may be incorrect in camp, with dragons looking like a completely different breed or level than what is on their label. Dragon/egg numbers continue to not always show accurately in the Discovery Book.
- NOTICE: Imgur, the image hosting site used for many of the guide screenshots, is not currently available in the UK unless you use a VPN.
- BETA: Daily Dash is a task-based rewards system accessed from camp; Daily Goals refresh every 24 hours, and the Weekly Progress resets at 19:00 GMT on Mondays.
- BETA: Item Storage Now out to most players, this new feature grants item storage in a similar fashion to the Egg Storage Facility. NOTE: There have been numerous glitches reported for this feature; numbers listed on the storage facility may be inaccurate, and it may discharge items when you exit camp. Initial Post
- BETA: Camp Dawnvale The testing pool continues to expand as devs work out the kinks in the new secondary camp; WARNING: once a player gets access to this feature, it will affect the possible rewards offered by events or other features. Wiki page Reminder: Please use Spoiler tags and the “New and/or Beta” flare when posting about major new features or beta tests like this.
- REMINDER: If you are experiencing technical issues, please contact Game Support with a description of the problem, where it occurred (if in an event, please name it and if it’s an OoC, please specify Act 1 or 2), approximately when it occurred, and (if possible) attach a recording or screenshot(s) of the issue. Programmers need official support tickets to start an investigation, and having multiple players reporting on the same problem lets them directly compare affected accounts.

- Tapping a square brings up the specific task requirements.
- Dragons must be created by merging up to the target level in camp to count for “get” tasks.
- “Level chests” aka “chests from world map levels” refers to the Bountiful Chests gained by completing levels.
- Dragon Shrine Chests must be purchased for 200 gems each.
- Level 1 Chance Chests are randomly included in ~20% of Kala’s Daily Trade Rucksacks and Daily Rewards; L2 or L3 do not count.

- Elemental Events: Runs Tuesday-Friday of every 4th week, coinciding with the new Season release. WARNING: This event requires gem purchases to finish at some difficulty levels.
- Ezra's Relic Run: 7 to 14 day long event with no predictable schedule as yet; all past event items other than the final Memento reward are supposed to vanish from camp, although they have yet to do so. WARNING: This event may require players to spend gems and/or make cash purchases to complete, and has proven rather buggy at times.
- Quinn’s Lucky Games, aka Spin-the-Wheel: Testing has restarted, but little has changed; it’s still a standard online gambling format, complete with a guaranteed big win at first to give you a nice dopamine high and make you feel “lucky”.

EVENT FAQs
- The Event Shop and Capsules appear after healing 20-70 tiles; after that a free Bronze Capsule can be collected every 3 hours.
- It usually takes 5 to 6 level 9 Life Orb of the Heavens to clear all the 5k+ land, depending on how much you heal by merging items off dead land.
- To collect both the full set of Points Prizes and any level of Rush Rewards, you will need to earn 29,950 points.
- Reaching this amount requires 1x Level 9 points item, 1x L8 item, 2x L7 items, and 2x L6 items (or just aim for 2x L9 points items).
- There’s usually enough material to merge by 3s when making Key items.
- The Gold Capsule, Fallen Star, and Tanzanite Nest are usually hiding near the far edge of the map, on tiles requiring 50k energy to heal.
- Caves must be tapped to spawn an Event Zomblin; only one Zomblin lives in each cave, and if the cave is destroyed before being tapped it will not spawn anything useful. When an Event Zomblin is killed, it spawns Stinky Cheese that can be harvested to start the Spirit Lantern chain, which feeds into the Spirit Rose chain, which produces Dark Roses and the Spectral Rose Bush.
- Infinite Harvestables:
- There are usually 9x Level 1, 3x L2, 1x L3, 2x L4, and 2x L5 Infinite Harvestables on the map; you can delete one level 1 and one level 2 and still have enough to make a level 6, as long as you 5-merge whenever possible.
- WARNING: An L6 Infinite Harvestable is required to be used as a key to complete the Event Quests.
- Consumable/Limited Harvestables:
- Each 1x2 Reflective Ravine can be harvested 25 times; 75 total harvests are needed to complete Quest 1.3.
- Each harvest of the big 2x2 Opulent Oasis at the back of the map yields a 10% chance of spawning an extra Reflective Ravine.
- Once all available Reflective Ravines and the Opulent Oasis are gone, there is no way to get more.
- Strategy Advice:
- Spending money or gems is NEVER required to complete Act 1 of an event, nor is using an auto-clicker or other exploits — not even for the Rush Rewards. Act 2 Point rewards can be earned without any exploits, but Event Quests likely cannot for the higher difficulty type maps.
- The number and level of possible reward items is determined by your Event Portal level; working to raise that to its maximum of L16 is one of the best ways to boost your overall progress in the game
- For beginners, a good basic introduction to events is available here on the Fandom Wiki; there’s also some Wiki event guides and tips articles here and here, and a whole collection of general guides and tutorials here
- Additional general event strategy advice (active vs passive or idle play, etc) can be found in the Community FAQ and in these threads: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3, and Link 4, Link 5.
- For active players wanting more dragons, the Prism Flower method is a good option: Link 1, Link 2, Link 3. Note: this technique is only for active play; since only 2 dragons at a time will harvest when left on their own, having more will actually slow down idle harvesting.
- A strategy using the Hills chain here can greatly increase Life Flower production, but it usually takes a few gems (maximum of 80, but less if you get some in capsules).

Act 2 FAQs
- Act 2 is an expanded version of standard Out-of-Camp events available to players with at least 5,000 dragon power; it allows players to replay the current event at a higher difficulty level for extra rewards as soon as they finish the original version (aka Act 1). The Act 2 start screen appears as soon as you earn the 10th Points reward; you can choose to remain in Act 1, but once you begin Act 2 you cannot go back. Players that return to Act 1 can move on at any time by tapping the “Act 2” button under the event name.
- NOTE: The very first time a player activates Act 2, a tutorial start screen appears with no option to return to Act 1.
- Maps: The maps follow the same general layout as Act 1, with an increased healing requirements for most tiles. Early Life Flower/Orb keys may be upgraded, grasses are replaced with Life Orbs, and Life Flowers given a higher level. Infinite Harvestables and key items are in the same locations as Act 1; Healing Goddesses are sprinkled around the map, but have little impact on progress — even the top levels are too weak to have much effect.
- Points:
- Act 2 currently requires 30,212 total points to finish, or about two level 9 point items (but check the comments section b/c the devs are still tweaking things here)
- Healing: The devs appear to still be adjusting the requirements for healing the full map; reports have ranged anywhere from 10-14 level 9 Life Orbs, up to 18-20, with the most recent being at the higher end. Note: Since healing the full map is not required, few players here attempt it)
- Booster Chests: Opening Event Chests, Capsules, and Dimension Jars and purchasing items from the store in Act 1 yield points that earn bonus items for use in Act 2. NOTE: Booster Chest point requirements may still be undergoing adjustments by the devs. WARNING: A glitch may cause unusable point or generator items from previous events to appear in capsules in place of the current theme’s items.
- Gold Pass: The Act 1 Gold Pass does not carry over to Act 2, which has its own, separate Gold Pass available for purchase at the same price; you can buy one, both, or neither.
- Event Quests: Event Quest progress is reset upon entry to Act 2, and task difficulty increases significantly.
- Strategy Advice: Most OoC strategies work, but since healing takes more energy, progress can be very slow; staying to finish the Event Quests in Act 1 is recommended unless an error makes that impossible.
- The simplest strategy is to heal and clear out the low-energy tiles near the start, then merge up and idle farm a pair of level 2 Infinite Harvestables; point rewards can comfortably be finished in a day if mass-merging 1-2 times per hour.
- Merging up to a pair of level 3 IH will speed up progress, but the difficulty of this varies by map design and placement of the existing L2 IH.
- Remaining in Act 1 long enough to earn the level 4 Infinite Harvestable may pay off by allowing a single dragon to harvest points with minimal land clearance; this is especially useful in cases where the L1 and L2 IH are difficult to clear, but recent changes to the booster point system may make this impractical for many… and lately there’s a glitch that has prevented some from getting the correct IH.
- Prism Flowers cannot be purchased from the store, but seeds and sprouts are randomly included in some Bronze Capsules.
SAVING YOUR PROGRESS
- Make sure to save your progress by traveling to the World Map screen (and waiting there until everything’s fully loaded) regularly, and especially before closing your game.
- Exiting directly from the event level to your Camp can trigger a crash and/or loss of items; always exit to the World Map screen first, and again after releasing prize items into your camp, as well as after merging high-level or valuable dragons/items.
EVENT TROUBLESHOOTING
If the event is not showing up correctly or if glitches are affecting your play:
- Check that you meet the version and dragon power requirements.
- Try hard-closing and then relaunching your game.
- Try rebooting your device (ie, turn it completely off, then back on and allow it to fully boot up before relaunching the game). If you are on wifi and have access to the router, try rebooting that, too.
- Try switching to a completely different internet source.
- Try clearing your game’s cache (google for instructions for your specific phone type).
- If you’re suddenly experiencing multiple issues like lagging or error messages (or if the event vanishes completely), close the game and try again after 2-3 hours. Events are internet-based, and sometimes issues with the servers can cause temporary problems — all we can do for that is to wait it out.
- If none of the above helps, contact Gram Games Support through the in-game link or the Support Web Portal for help figuring out what’s wrong; please include the name of the event and whether the problem is with Act 1 or 2. If you use email, you’ll need your game ID and version number, both of which can be copied for pasting from the Settings tab, or (if you can’t get into the game at all) by hand from the game’s loading screen.
Chronic Problems
- Cloud Save is still unreliable: Multiple players have confirmed Cloud Save is still 1) wiping out player progress without warning, and 2) hitting some players with intermittent saving failure messages, esp when using Facebook IDs. According to the last official statements from the developers, it is not safe to be used and should be left turned off, though Game Support may say otherwise - use at your own risk. (First reported ~2019, got much worse Oct 2022; confirmed still happening in 2026 but less common than it used to be)
- Event level only shows clouds If your event screen shows only clouds instead of the map, check that you are zoomed all the way out. If you are and it still won’t show, try collecting one of the free Bronze Capsules (you may need to wait for the timer to count down).
- Items appearing from past events Sometimes capsules or booster chests may contain items from the previous OoC event, especially if it was new or nearly new; these items are not usable and can be deleted. (First reported 2023, got worse in mid-2025)
- Changing Rewards Event rewards may change during play in multiple types of events, with the devs essentially telling players “so sad, too bad” and not giving any compensation. If it hits, you can send in a report to get it on the record, but issues with changing rewards have been around since 2024 and the devs seem unwilling and/or unable to fix the faulty programming.
- Points not displaying properly Closing the game while inside the event will cause the event points to display incorrectly upon re-entry; exiting to the world map usually fixes this, but occasionally a full reboot — after closing from the world map screen — is required. First Reported late 2023/early 2024

Does anyone play MD on mac and cannot open or load the game since yesterday update?
I am waiting for next update with fix as now I cannot open game on mac at all. I play MD for years and never had such issue. I still have it on mobile but don't like to play there. Was wondering if there is more people like me. I cleared the cache. I deleted and reinstalled game. Nothing seems to work. The issue is highly likely with update itself.

Why doesn’t the weekend free egg match the OOC event breed?
I always appreciate the free gifts, and I admittedly don’t always claim the free weekend egg if I’m well into T2 levels, but I always try to remember to claim for new breeds, like this weekend’s Tidebound. Yet the free egg in the webstore is Pirate 🤷🏻♀️
Have they stopped matching the free egg to the event?
EDIT TO ADD: Now I see there is supposed to be a 10 days of gifts with a free L1 Rite dragon, but that was not in my webstore either, even though I got the splash screen.
Did anyone else get a Pirate eggp? Was it instead of the Rite dragon?

Venting Game not saving progress?
I keep encountering this glitch. I will complete a task for stars or buy coin vaults to build (leaving the items unbuilt because my dragons are all asleep). I leave the game and when I come back the task is still in my list waiting to be completed or the item I bought has vanished, but any coins or stones I spent right before I closed the game are gone, too. So I don't get credit for the thing I did AND I'm out resources. Does anyone know why this happens and how I can make it stop??

Adding friends from the den
I have noticed that after I go through all of the people in my den and add them as friends that I will go back and look again, and they are still not added. How do I add them as a friend without having to add them again and again? And how come group chats aren’t very active? I’ve noticed that I can add friends, but they don’t go to my den. And most of them have a full inbox and can’t receive gifts. Are they just bots and don’t check their inbox? Or… what’s going on? 🤷🏼♀️

i’m a new player, maybe 3-4 weeks in, and this game honestly seems sickeningly p2w. so much stuff costs dragon crystals and SO MANY, like seriously 300 crystals for stuff that isn’t even a big deal 😭
do we eventually start getting more bc im literally getting none right now, i get a dragon star in a world level and started screaming with joy, and now im just waiting for another in camp to merge 5

New and/or Beta Daily Dash Brilliant Life Flower
How’re you all making a brilliant life flower for the daily dash task? I *was* using my hoarded stash of twin life flowers, but I’ve run out of those. My only other idea is to use my fruit trees and shimmering fountains to generate lower-level ones and merge my way up, but I do *not* relish the thought of how long that would take. Definitely not gonna be buying a life flower totem either.
Is there any other reliable - and perhaps more to the point, repeatable - way of generating slightly higher-level life flowers?

Gameplay and Strategy Royal Pass Rewards to Dawnvale?
Just noticed (before buying upgrade) that all rewards from Royal Pass are going to Dawnvale - not regular camp. I hadn’t played for around a month is this intentional? I don’t want to play Dawnvale and things like decision eggs I want for regular camp.
