Talk:Dragon Egg

Hatching eggs
They hatch near the lava.. so, as in nature, in Craft the World to hatch eggs heat is required. I've tried combining coal, lumber, oil, fireball potions, stoves, torches.. anyone else out trying to .. crack this egg? :) — 184.190.199.15, 22 April 2014‎


 * Well I don't touch the Eggs because dragons will spawn there.


 * So just set up automatic sentry guns agound the eggs.
 * They will kill the Dragons (they drop decent loot e.g. Gold Coins!) AND the Dragons don't attack the sentry guns.
 * It's a perfect farming spot. — 87.156.246.147, 2 May 2015‎

New Fire Mechanic
I used to put a layer of dirt just above the lava so I could pick up eggs as I pleased, but now everything I try just burns up. What's a good way to extract dragon eggs now that there is a fire mechanic in the game? — 209.58.153.146, 10 June 2018‎


 * I also used to do what you said. Well, now I do the following:


 * 1) open a portal one block over the egg (if the portal is open at the same block of the egg, it becomes very hard to interact with the egg);
 * 2) give orders to build 2 earth blocks, one an each side of the egg, to prevent the egg falling in lava;
 * 3) give order to remove the egg;
 * 4) wait for one of the 3 dwarf in this lava site to pick up the egg;
 * 5) click the "Locked Castle" button, to force them to go back home;
 * 6) wait for all 3 dwarfs to pass back through the portal;
 * 7) close the portal to avoid anyone going to promenade at the lava.
 * Of course this is not like the easy farming we had before, but it's fair enough, becuase with the cost of:
 * 2-4 mana points
 * 2 earth blocks
 * ≈1 minute / 3 dwarfs work
 * ...you can have a dragon egg with which you can ressurect 5 dwarfs! — SapadorCastelo (talk) 06:03, 12 June 2018 (UTC)


 * Note:


 * 1) It's important to have a good number of dwarfs around the main stockpile before you start this operation, because you need 3 dwarfs to work toghether at this. If not, you'll have one coming and placing the 1st earth block, than, when the 1st block is already burning, comes another dwarf to place the 2nd block, than, when there is no more earth blocks besides the egg, comes the 3rd dwarf to remove the egg, that will fall in the lava. So, have some idle dwarfs home, before going to this.
 * 2) It's also good to have removed the initial "fog of war" around the area so you can see that there is no dragon around the nest. You can not do this operation with a dragon around. To scout the area you can use the magic light spell. Or you can do like me: take direct control of a dwarf and swim over the lava until his health is almost gone, than open a portal over him and climb/pass through it. If you find a dragon, climb the wall, it will ignore you. If the dragon goes away, go down and keep swimming. If not, open a portal and go back home. :) — SapadorCastelo (talk) 06:27, 12 June 2018 (UTC)
