Gold
From Dragon Mania Legends (DML) Wiki
This article is about the currency. For other uses, see Gold (disambiguation).
Gold is the standard in-game currency. It is earned and used in various ways. The main method for obtaining Gold is collection from the Habitats in which Dragons reside. There are, however, many other ways to earn Gold.
Gold Purse
The maximum amount of Gold a user can hold, on the main interface only, is limited to 2,147,483,647. After reaching that amount, additional Gold is sent to the Gold Purse 
in inventory 
. The purse can hold unlimited Gold and can be claimed whenever needed.
Gold Planner
The DML Planner Economy function provides an overview of all gold  produced by Dragons, stored in habitats. Tracking is done per habitat and island, to determine income and help identify issues with, and optimize, gold production. For example, it might be learned that keeping Dragons in the habitat of their highest Element (excluding Legendary, Primal, Divine, Ancient, and Tyrant elements) can significantly optimize gold earning; prioritizing high-holding habitats (of both Gold and Dragons) over low holding ones can also be useful, particularly at the outset of a new game when gold is needed the most, and earning is most difficult.Read more about this sister project, the DML Planner made by Toomas, a DML community member. |

Selling
Gold can also be earned by selling in-game items, such as certain buildings and Dragons. The amount of Gold received when selling 
depends on a series of factors.
Buildings
- The selling cost of buildings and decorations purchased with Gold is 25% of the buying price. For Habitats, the selling price is 25% of the total amount of Gold spent on building and upgrading them. For example, the Fountain of Youth costs 200,000 Gold; thus its selling price is 50,000 Gold (200,000 / 4) whereas a Level 4 Fire Habitat has a selling price of 7,025 Gold because upgrading it to that level costs a total of 28,100 Gold (100 + 2,000 + 8,000 + 18,000). If the resulting amount has decimals, the final digit is rounded down.
- The selling cost of decorations that cost Dungeon Tokens is 25% of the buying price, which is then converted to Gold. For example, the Sword Sculpture costs 50 Dungeon Tokens; thus its selling price is 12 Gold (50 / 4). If the resulting amount has decimals, the final digit is rounded down.
- With very few exceptions, the selling cost of buildings and decorations that cost Gems is calculated by multiplying the buying price by 125 and then converting it to Gold. For example, the Boss Habitat costs 50 Gems; thus its selling price is 6,250 Gold (50 * 125) while the Golden Pavilion costs 20 Gems; thus its selling price is 2,500 Gold (20 * 125).
Dragons
The selling cost of Dragons is determined by their breeding time and is calculated as follows:
RoundUpTo50(0.5*(BreedingTimeInMinutes^1.4) + BreedingTimeInMinutes)
Examples
- Boiling Dragon's breeding time in minutes is 240.
(0.5*(240^1.4) + 240) = 1,314 – the last two digits are then rounded by 50 = 1,350 Gold
- Cyborg Dragon's breeding time in minutes is 600.
(0.5*(600^1.4) + 600) = 4,475 – the last two digits are then rounded by 50 = 4,500 Gold
- Storm Dragon's breeding time in minutes is 1,320.
(0.5*(1320^1.4) + 1320) = 13,008 – the last two digits are then rounded by 50 = 13,050 Gold
Exceptions
The following Dragons do not follow the formula and thus have their own selling price:
- All Boss Dragons (their selling price is that of their regular counterpart)
- Earth Dragon
- Fire Dragon
- Prairie Dragon
- Tribal Dragon
- Water Dragon
- Wind Dragon
