For those of you wanting a deep-dive into dragons, I recommend Grease 's Guide: How to train a dragon.
For those of you WANTING TO GET YOUR GRIND ON ASAP:
Merchant Khajit in zone 712 sells DRAGON EGGS. Red, Green, and Blue are available. Roughly 1 million plat. Pick a color. Alternatively, if you have the extra coin and want one, you can buy a purple, gold, or black dragon egg from another player. Currently, user Sidney sells them at 1.5million platinum per egg.
Once you have your egg:
#zone 712 2169 -2558 6
Give your egg to Broode Wycth for hatching. He will hold your egg for a random amount of time between 7 and 14 IRL days.
NOTE: IF aesthetics are important to you, the current wisdom is that the more you hail Broode and check on your dragon during this time, the more likely it is the dragon will have the "new model". This means fk-all for its performance. It is ONLY aesthetic. You will not be able to tell which model your dragon is until the end. *Gold and purple dragons do not need to be checked on, and are always new model
Once you get your egg back:
#zone 712 2256 -2512 6
Give your egg to Gosden Easterby for raising. You currently have a baby dragon pet that is all but useless, so this guy raises your dragon for you.
He gives you two correct options, and one wrong option:
Feed
Exercise <---- THIS IS THE WRONG OPTION. DO NOT EVER CLICK THIS ONE UNLESS YOU WANT YOUR DRAGON TO BE MADE FUN OF AND PICKED ON FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE
Socialize
Because this is so important I'll say it again, and explain it:
- Feed - Allows your dragon to become big and strong, shifting him from a baby to an adolescent to an adult. Necessary, but only in a specific order.
- Exercise - Increases your dragon's HP. That's it. More hp on your pet. No more AC or other stats. HP only. Utterly, utterly useless.
- Socialize - Increases your dragon's ATTACK DAMAGE. Yep. More pet damage by socializing your dragon.
Now that we're all on the same page, (because if you're on a different page you're wrong, and you should feel bad,) here's what you do while Gosden has your egg:
- Socialize your dragon SIX (6) times in a row. This will cost you 100,000pp each time, and you can do this once every 23 hours.
- Feed your dragon for TEN (10) days in a row. You can buy the food from *Merchant Khajit.
- Have him RETURN your dragon and check to see if your dragon is a Violent/Adolescent.
- Socialize your dragon SIX (6) times in a row. Again.
- Feed your dragon for TEN (10) days in a row. Again.
- Have him RETURN your dragon and hope it is an Adult/Savage
*Merchant Khajit sells THREE (3) different kinds of food for your pet, and they have different durations and cost more for longer durations.
Dragon Meal | 100,799pp | Lasts 1 day | Cost per day: 100,799 |
Bountiful Dragon Meal | 252,000pp | Lasts 2 days | Cost per day: 126,000pp |
Dragon Banquet | 453,599 | Lasts 3 days | Cost per day: 151,200pp |
The cost for convenience is roughly 25k/day extra.
SO, you finally hit step 6 and got your dragon?
Grats! Either you got an adult/savage dragon, or you messed up somewhere. It's okay if you did. You can still use your dragon, but I'd highly recommend starting over when you get the chance. Expensive lesson, but an error worth fixing, nonetheless.
TL;DR:
For a measly 4,223,980pp and 39 days of setting alarms to do dragon things, you, too, can have the BEST PET IN THE GAME. (Check my math, that should be the absolute cheapest/earliest you can get your dragon pet for)
