Quartz isn't as 'valuable' as some of the other gemstones made to craft dragons from the Dragon Realm, but Quartz Dragons have a special value of their own. The hue and clarity of the crystals that make up the Quartz Dragons tend to have a calming effect on dragons and humans alike. Some Caretakers have taken to calling these dragons the 'serene stone dragons'.
Because of the dragons' calming effects on people, ancient human diplomats used to take Quartz Dragons with them on foreign relations trips. The presence of a Quartz Dragon can turn a particularly tense meeting into a newfound peace agreement.
Adult Form
Epic Form
Don't focus on the long, gemmed tail of an adult Quartz Dragon - it has a hypnotic effect on people who are already tired. If your mind starts to go a bit fuzzy when looking at a Quartz Dragon's tail, leave the area immediately and start drinking coffee until your mind becomes sharp again.
Even the most raucous dragons become listless when an Epic Quartz Dragon is near. Epic Quartz Dragons fly from island to island, causing this to occur to their dragon comrades, without knowing the reason why. This is why Quartz Dragons believe other dragons to be lazy.
By breeding two dragons that collectively contribute Gemstone and Pink to the type pool. If a parent has the appropriate minor types, missing requirements may also be added to the pool, even if neither parent has the originally required types. Minor types that have been split from other minor types can also contribute their component types to the type pool.
DISCLAIMER: When attempting to breed the Quartz Dragon, you may get other offspring instead. Check the Breeding Calculator to view all of the possible results of combining a particular pair of parents.
Parents Behavior[]
The Quartz Dragon has special behavior when it is used as a breeding parent. Unlike dragons with only basic types, it will obey the following rules:
When the Pink type is alone in the pool, it will add pure dragons of its component types (Red and White) to the list of possible outcomes, but it will not split into its component types. When Pink is included in the pool along with one or more other types, the Pink type can split into Red and White. However, if it is split, then Pink is no longer in the pool for the duration. Thus, the presence of Pink in a pool will either add the Pink type if it does not split or the Red and White types if it does split. There is one exception to this rule, and that is when both parents possess the Pink type. In this case, Pink can contribute both itself and its split colors at the same time.
When the Gemstone type is alone in the pool, it will add pure dragons of its component types (Green and Blue) to the list of possible outcomes, but it will not split into its component types. When Gemstone is included in the pool along with one or more other types, the Gemstone type can split into Green and Blue. However, if it is split, then Gemstone is no longer in the pool for the duration. Thus, the presence of Gemstone in a pool will either add the Gemstone type if it does not split or the Green and Blue types if it does split. There is one exception to this rule, and that is when both parents possess the Gemstone type. In this case, Gemstone can contribute both itself and its split colors at the same time.
Although the Pink type can split into Red and White for breeding purposes, it still only counts as one type. This is important when considering the number of types for type-amount-dependent dragons such as the Diamond Dragon. Breeding an Air Dragon with a Quartz Dragon only counts as three colors: Yellow , Pink, and Gemstone.
Although the Gemstone type can split into Green and Blue for breeding purposes, it still only counts as one type. This is important when considering the number of types for type-amount-dependent dragons such as the Diamond Dragon. Breeding a Quartz Dragon with a Magic Dragon only counts as three colors: Gemstone, Pink, and Purple.
Notes[]
On July 17, 2013 the Quartz Dragon and all other gemstone dragons became breedable.
Craft time for the Quartz Dragon is 24hrs, while incubation is 22 hours.
The Quartz Dragon was previously obtainable by crafting but was removed from the Spell Shop on March 6, 2018.
The Quartz Dragon's Design is based upon the Charm Dragon's, although there are differences between the two.
