Dragon Codex

From Dragon Mania Legends (DML) Wiki

(Redirected from Meta Collection)
Dragon Codex Button.png

The Dragon Codex Dragon Codex Icon.png is a book of Dragons, it unlocks after Breeding, Hatching, and housing the first Smoke Dragon. The codex's primary function is providing up-to-date information on Dragons. Once unlocked, the codex is accessed by pressing the Dragon Codex Button.png button at the middle-right of the main Archipelago screen.

Codex Parts

The main parts of the codex are:

  • Collections - Groups of Dragons to collect for rewards.
  • Dragon Codex - The complete codex of all Dragons that appeared during the time the Trainer played.
  • My Dragons - All Dragons owned and hatched.
  • Leaderboard - Opens the Dragon Collector Leaderboard.

Collections

Collections are groups of Dragons collected for various rewards. Collections are grouped into categories or themes such as early game Dragons, all Common/Uncommon Normally-Breedable Dragons of an Element, Dragons required for Breedable Legendaries, Dungeon-Exclusive Dragon, VIP-Exclusive Dragon, and so on. Some collections have stages, providing greater rewards upon completion of further tasks, or themed seasons. Meta collections are collections of other collections providing rewards. Completed collections are always listed below uncompleted ones.

Showcased Information

Each collection displays the collection name, Dragon snapshot or full-size image of collection rewards, and the percentage of players having completed the respective collection. Dragons display a Green Check Icon.png symbol once collected, and pressing collection reward Dragons only (un)hides the collection, instead of opening their Codex Entry.

Hiding

Collections are hidden by pressing the Hide Collection Icon.png button, and unhidden using the Unhide Collection Icon.png button. When hidden, regular collections display only the collection title, while Meta Collections still display the reward Dragons and those necessary for completion. Sub-collections are completely hidden until deliberately unhidden, or until a new Dragon from a collection is hatched.

Meta Collections

Meta Collections are collections within other collections, where Dragons follow that same theme. The only requirement to receive reward Dragons is to hatch and place the required Dragons.

Fairytale Megabitat

Breeding 12 Dragon of the Month Dragons is required to complete the four codex collections below. If all four collections are completed, the 5×5 special habitat reward pieces can be merged to form a single 10×10 Megabitat.

Note: Although the collections below are structured similarly to meta collections, and provide a reward similarly, the individual sub-collections are treated as separate in-game; thus, once a "sub-collection" is completed, it is sent to the bottom of the Collections tab rather than remaining grouped with its counterparts. Such collections are grouped here for clarity purposes.

Dragon Codex

Dragon Codex Filtering & Sorting.png

The Dragon Codex tab gives an overall count of Dragons that have been, and can be, obtained (excluding Chronos or Clan Dragons). A progress indicator shows total progress towards collecting all Dragons. A snapshot of each Dragon appears below this, with sorting and filtering options for searching.

The buttons at the right of the codex allow filtering:

By selecting a Rarity:

Common Uncommon Rare Epic Legendary Boss Primal Divine Ancient Tyrant All Icon.png

By selecting a specific Element (which shows any Dragon with that Element):

  • Fire Wind Earth Water Plant Metal Energy Void Light Shadow Legendary Primal Divine Ancient Tyrant All Icon.png

By selecting a specific Source:


By searching:

  • Search Dragon (excl - Text field to search by species name.

The drop-down menu has two options:

  • Default Order Down Icon.png – Sorting by LTD Dragons first, and allowing Order by rarity sorting.
  • 🡅🡇 Order by rarity – Sorting by Not owned first, and allowing All, and Not owned.

The second drop-down is for showing one of 3 options:

  • All – Show all (once considered available) Dragons.
  • Owned – Show owned Dragons only.
  • Not owned – Show not owned Dragons only.

Note: Filtering is not reset automatically to the default when the codex is closed, the Trainer must manually clear the search bar and set all other filters back to All Icon.png to reset to an unfiltered state.

Snapshots

Codex Snapshot.png

Dragon shapshots contain a mugshot, Elements, Skill levels (in some areas of the game), Type/Rarity, Enchantment Stars, Sigils (if equipped), an icon representing obtainment method (if not a regularly breedable Dragon), and a Green Check Icon.png green checkmark if obtained. Non-obtained Dragons have a grayed-out snapshot and if they are a Limited-Time Dragon, Event-Only Dragon, or are offered in a promotion etc., display an availability countdown. The Elements of Dragons whose secondary Elements need to be awoken are visible, but grayed-out and marked with the Red Lock Icon.png icon.

Information for Dragons is viewed by selecting their snapshot, which opens their Codex Entry.

See Codex Entries for information about what appears in codex entries.

Duplicates

The Codex allows purchasing additional Dragon eggs for any Dragon previously obtained, as long as they can be purchased with Gold or Gems. Boss Dragons and regular Dragons that can be bred normally or within a limited-time period, along with the active VIP Dragons, can always be purchased, regardless whether the Trainer has them on their islands or not. Boss Dragons can only be purchased once, with limited exceptions, and only if they have been unlocked by defeating them in Normal Mode.

My Dragons

The My Dragons tab displays the snapshots of all Dragons currently owned by the Trainer, displaying the almost identical filtering and sorting options as the Dragon Codex tab.

Dragon Collection The DML Planner Dragons function allows Trainers to search for and keep track of their Dragon Collection. Numerous search options are provided to rapidly filter between, and find, Dragons to add to the collector's stable of Dragons, which can be saved via Settings > Login. This aids in keeping track of owned Dragons and other planner activities.
