Merge Dragons 600, 3000 or 5000 Dragon Power Guide

Essential Game Settings & Merge Strategy

Completing this game as fast as possible requires you to merge things in groups of 5. When you merge 5 of one item, you get 2 items of the next level. Merging in threes gives only one item of the next level. SO ALWAYS MERGE IN 5, and change the settings below to prevent accidental merges:

Optimal Merge Dragons Game Settings

• Turn ON "Require Overlap" to prevent accidental 3-merges.
• Turn OFF "Auto Merge" to maintain control over your merging.
• Turn ON "Confirm Sell" to avoid accidentally selling valuable items.
• Critical: Merging 5 items gives you 2 upgraded items PLUS a bonus item - this makes your resources go much further.
• Never merge in 3s - waiting to gather 5 items ensures maximum efficiency and faster progression.

Merge Magic Coins Up for Maximum Gold

In Merge Dragons!, merging items creates progressively more powerful items. Whilst three Level 1 items can be merged to 1 Level 2 item, the Level 2 item is always worth more than the 3 original items. It is the same for Level 3 vs 3 x Level 2, and so on up to the maximum item level.

To complete the Merge Dragons offer, we are going to need a lot of gold to purchase Dragon Eggs. So the most efficient way to get that gold is to always merge up magic coins (except when we need to spend some gold early on!).

Here's what each coin is worth:

As you can see, 2 Magic Gems of Life is worth 50,000 gold. We are going to need 10 of these to reach 3000 Dragon Power (only 2 for 600 Dragon Power!). The most efficient strategy is to merge coins up in 5s until we get the required number of Magic Gems.

Turn Your Camp Into a Fruit Tree Farm (Early Game)

At the start of the game, the best way to get gold to buy dragons is to turn your camp into a Fruit Tree Farm. It's simple: get Fruit Trees, harvest Fruit Trees for Fruit, harvest Fruit for Gold Coins, and merge the Gold Coins up. You can manage with three Nice Fruit Trees, but the more the better.

To get Fruit Trees, you will need Fruit Tree seeds. Here are the best methods:

Obtain Seeds as rewards for Campaign Levels

Uncover land to uncover Fruit Tree Seeds: Let these sprout into saplings, then merge up to Fruit Trees or Nice Fruit Trees.

Complete Fruit Tree progression: Seed → Sapling → Young → Small → Fruit → Nice → Large

Use Skull and Bones items to get more Fruit Tree Seeds:

Skull & Bones progression (click to browse)

• Skull & Bones 1/2/3 can be harvested for Fruit Tree Seeds, Ordinary Treasure Chests (uncommon), or Life Flowers.
• Skull & Bones 1/2 can be merged into Fruit Tree Seeds or rarely into Skull & Bones 3.
• Skull & Bones 3 can be merged into 1 or 2 Ordinary Treasure Chests or Nice Treasure Chests.

Harvest Fruit Tree Seeds from the Fountain of Legend:

Fountain of Legend - tap every 5 minutes for seeds

• It can be tapped for a Fruit Tree Seed every 5 minutes.
• Can be bought using gems as Level Rewards from most Levels.
• Can also be purchased from the shop.

The Fruit Tree Farm Strategy

In Merge Dragons, you need a lot of gold. One of the best ways to farm gold is by farming fruit trees.

Fruit Tree → Raspberry → Tiny Magic Coin farming chain

• Merge up Fruit Tree Seeds into Fruit Trees (and then Large Fruit Trees).
• Harvest Fruit Trees for Raspberries when dragons are idle.
• Harvest Raspberries for Tiny Magic Coins.
• Merge Up Magic Coins in 5s for maximum efficiency!
