Farms are buildings used to produce Food, a resource needed to feed and level up Dragons. Farms are unlocked upon reaching Player Level 2.

Building Functions

The following function buttons appear when the building is selected:

1. Upgrade – for upgrading a Farm (appears if farm is idle and an upgrade is available).
2. Farming – for growing Food (appears if idle).
   • Speed-Up – for speeding an ongoing planting, which is when it appears.
3. Sell and Store – for selling or storing a Farm in Inventory (appears if idle).

Obtaining

Farms are obtained by buying them in the Main Shop in exchange for a certain amount of Gold. There is a Trainer Level requirement that must be met to build additional farms, and Farms can also be upgraded. A maximum of 15 farms can be built, and upgrade cost also varies depending on farm Level. Farms in Inventory count toward the limit.

Upgrading

Upgrading Farms unlocks the growing of superior types and amounts of Food. Upgrading is performed by selecting an inactive farm, pressing the Upgrade button, then pressing either:

• Instant Upgrade   – to upgrade in exchange for Gems.
• Upgrade   – to upgrade for Gold, taking a set time to complete.

Farming

Farming is performed by selecting a Farm, pressing the Farming button, and then selecting an available type of Food to grow. Different types of foods are produced, divided into four tiers for each level of a farm. Food that is currently locked by Player Level appears grayed out and cannot be selected. When food is ready to be harvested, the Food Notification appears above each farm, tapping it collects the food.

At Player Level 25, if four or more farms are built, the Multi-plant button appears. When pressed, this option plants the same type of food in all idle farms, and displays the number of farms to produce it. Members of Clan, have the option to plant Clan Food requiring the same amount of time and Gold as their original form, but yielding more food.

Farming Calculator The DML Planner Farming function provides a way to calculate what types of Food to Farm, based on: Farm level. Gold possessed/budgeted. Number of farms owned. Minimum to-harvest duration. Maximum to-harvest duration. Farm Gold production per hour. Calculating farming parameters before farming can help optimize production and reduce Gold expense.

Time Reduction

Sporadically, the Gem Ad Notification appears above a random farm, tapping it gives the option to watch an advertisement video in exchange for 1 Gem.

Selecting a farm during production provides the Speed-Up button, displaying ad Videos available to watch in exchange for up to an 8-hour time reduction, or the number of Gems needed to skip the remaining time. Selecting the latter option displays time left until the food can be harvested, and the Skip All   button. Members of Clans can also use a Clan Fortress Power, which reduces all ongoing farm timers, depending on Clan Fortress and Clan League level.

The Gem cost for skipping timers is calculated using the formula: (TimeInSeconds ^ -0.46) * 0.12 * TimeInSeconds and the final result is rounded up by 1 if it is between the 1-10 range, and rounded up by 5 if it is between the 10-100 range. For example:

• The cost to skip initial upgrading time to a Level 2 Farm (1 hour) is: (3600 ^ -0.46) * 0.12 * 3600 = 9.9 – rounding by 1 applies, thus the cost to skip the timer is 10 Gems.
• The cost to skip initial farming time of a Royal Fig (1 day) is: (86400 ^ -0.46) * 0.12 * 86400 = 55.5 – rounding by 5 applies, thus the cost to skip the timer is 60 Gems.

Food production time is influenced by the Relic of Farming, which is usable by selecting a Farm, pressing the button, then pressing the   Skip button. Once activated, the relic decreases the timer of all farms by 8 hours. A maximum of 10 can be obtained through the use of regular In-Game Currency for storage in Inventory, more can be stored if obtained by other methods such as event prizes.

Outside the Farm, the time can also be reduced through forging Chronosian Seals or activating Chronos's power, either reducing several timers in the game by 6 hours.

Selling & Storing

Farms can be stored or sold, by selecting a farm and pressing either the Inventory button or the Sell button, then pressing the Yes button; pressing the No button cancels either action. Selling or storing a Farm is not allowed if Food is being produced by it.

The selling price of a farm is 25% of the total amount of Gold the Trainer has invested in it. For example, a Level 1 farm costs 1,000 Gold to build, selling it yields 250 Gold; whereas a Level 3 Farm requires a total of 211,000 Gold from building and upgrading; thus selling yields 52,750 Gold.

Moving

All farms are 5x5 square tiles in size, regardless of level. A single object is moved by pressing and holding it until move options activate, indicated by X buttons below it and move arrows on each side. Green move arrows indicate sufficient space in the currently chosen area to place an item, gray arrows indicate not enough. Move the object by dragging, or by pressing the move arrows or the destination, then press the or X button to accept or cancel.

Edit Mode moves multiple objects, once move options are activated as described above, after pressing the button. Moving or swapping instructions appear:

• Select one or more objects to move them at the same time.
• Swap two objects by selecting them and pressing the button.
• Store multiple objects in inventory by selecting them and pressing the Inventory button (for eligible buildings or objects only).

Dragging or pressing a destination a does not move objects in Edit Mode, the initial state is selection-only; instead, pressing the Move button enables these options, the base of all objects turns green or gray indicating if there's enough space to move the items to as a unit.

Selected objects are moved exactly parallel to their former positions, any destination must have the corresponding spaces freed for a successful move. The Inventory button only appears if all selected items are eligible for inventory storage, and appears below the last item selected. Objects cannot be selected from different islands at the same time.
