The Great Dragon Race
From Dragon Mania Legends (DML) Wiki
The Great Dragon Race is a recurring, race-style Clan Event, in which members of participating Clans complete various tasks to earn ingredients needed for recipes. The ingredients are then used to prepare a specific dish over a set time frame. Finally, the completed dish is fed to the Clan Dragon, allowing it to move forward on the racetrack, similar to Sugar Rush, another race-style Clan event.
Timing & Requirements[edit source | VE]
The Great Dragon Race runs for 4 days when all participating Clans in the game are split into groups of maximum ten, in accordance to the league they are currently in. These groups then compete against one another to win the race. The event was introduced in Update 2.6, in which Clans can participate only if they qualify by having a Clan Dragon fully hatched.
Configuration[edit source | VE]
There is a limit of thirty recipes that each member can cook during an event to earn points for the Clan Event. However, the Trainer can opt to cook up to five more recipes at a cost of 20 Gems per recipe after the limit is reached. Recipes can only be cooked one at a time. Trainers can opt to refresh any or all of the recipes if they desire. Each recipe can be refreshed 
once every 2 hours or immediately by pressing the Skip 
button if a Trainer wishes to pay the Gems cost to speed up the process. Each recipe has a different rarity and takes a different amount of time to cook. The recipes given to the Trainer are random and the chances for their rarity varies. There is a 35% chance to receive a Common recipe, 25% chance for an Uncommon recipe, 20% chance for a Rare one, 15% chance for an Epic one, and 5% chance for a Legendary recipe. Once a dish is complete, it can be fed to the Clan Dragon, allowing it to move forward in The Great Dragon Race.
Quests[edit source | VE]
For the duration of this event, Clan Quests (in addition to the regular rewards) will award ingredients needed for recipes. The ingredients that are given are randomly generated by the game; thus, no ingredient is bound to a particular type of quest.
Viewing Ingredients[edit source | VE]
The ingredients that a Trainer currently has can be accessed by going to the recipe selection screen and choosing the Ingredients button. Returning to the recipes screen, from the ingredients screen, is done by pressing the ◀ Back to Recipes button.
Ingredient Donations & Requests[edit source | VE]
In addition to completing Clan Quests, Trainers can request specific ingredients in Clan chat once every 3 hours by pressing the Ask! button next to the total amount of each ingredient. Whenever any Clan member makes a request for ingredients, a notification appears in the bottom-right corner of the 
tab and is automatically for 5 of the chosen ingredient. Each Clan member can donate 1 to 5 ingredients per request, with the maximum limit for each donation set at 5. However, multiple Clan members can donate. Donating is done by pressing the Donate button to the right of the ingredient on the request. Each Clan member can donate up to a total of 40 ingredients per day on various requests. Pressing the i button right next to the ingredient will show the Trainer how many times they donated for that day and how much time is left until the limit for donations resets.
Recipes[edit source | VE]
Once the Trainer has enough ingredients to cook a recipe, they must select a recipe and then press the Start at the right of it; pressing this commences cooking.
Recipe Types and Ingredients[edit source | VE]
Each recipe has a different rarity and thus a different difficulty level, ingredients required, as well as a time limit for completion. The more rare a recipe is, the more challenging it is to complete and the higher the points awarded for its completion.

Scoring/Feeding[edit source | VE]
Once a recipe is finished, to receive points for it and to be able to start another recipe, the rewarded food must be fed to the Clan Dragon by dragging it to the Dragon's mouth, allowing it to move forward in The Great Dragon Race.
Rewards[edit source | VE]
See Limited Collections for details about the rewarded Dragons
There are three different sources that reward participating Trainers with prizes, namely progress or milestone rewards, the MVP reward, and the leaderboard rewards. All three depend on the league the participating Clans are in. Clans in higher leagues will receive better rewards, but the requirements will also be higher.
Milestone Progress Rewards[edit source | VE]
There are five milestone rewards for the Clan to reach collectively. Each milestone rewards a card pack that gives Dragon Pieces only for a Clan-Exclusive Dragon.
On the racetrack, each of the five milestones for each Clan is marked with a icon, as well as the scores needed to reach them.

MVP Bonus Reward[edit source | VE]
The most active member of the week will be awarded 
status and a certain amount of Clan Coins, depending on the league their Clan is in. Members can see the current MVP rankings by going to the menu where recipes can be cooked and pressing the MVP 
button. The rankings can also be accessed by opening the Clan interface, selecting the 
option, then pressing the Clan Event
MVP tab. The latter option can also be used when there is no ongoing Clan Event, while the former can only be used during an ongoing event.
Leaderboard[edit source | VE]
Accessing[edit source | VE]
The leaderboard can be accessed by going to the menu where recipes can be cooked and pressing the Event
Leaderboard button. Here, the current score of each Clan can be seen, the time left until the event ends, each Clan's currently active Clan Dragon and their position on the racetrack, the points needed for each milestone, and the i and Rewards: buttons. Pressing either of these two will bring up the leaderboard prizes, but the former button disappears if the Clan has scored the minimum needed to qualify for the leaderboard, as well as the text in the left of it, and is replaced by the 
icon.
Eligibility[edit source | VE]
Clans have to score a certain minimum to be eligible for receiving the prizes from the leaderboard. Thus, Clans in League 1 will have to score a minimum of 6,000, those in League 2 a minimum of 15,000, those in League 3 a minimum of 30,000, those in League 4 a minimum of 150,000, and those in League 5 a minimum of 300,000. Clans not reaching that minimum score will not receive any of the possible prizes, regardless of their final ranking at the end of the event. The rewarded card pack gives Dragon Pieces only for Clan Dragons, except Chip, and the amount is in relation to the Clan's final ranking. When claiming grand prizes, it is possible to receive cards for Clan Dragons already owned.
As only one of each Dragon can be owned, the applicable card will automatically be compensated for by being replaced with a certain amount of Clan Coins if this occurs. Thus, 50 are given for Ruptia, 125 for Striker, 200 for Gravelis, 350 for Amoura, and 500 for Brimstone, Kutter and Boone.
The amount of Food and Gold rewarded depends on the Level Modifier.
| Position | Prizes | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 |  1 (6 x  )(All Leagues) |
 (Level Modifier*2,000)
|
|
| 2-3 | 1 (3 x ) (All Leagues) |

|
|
