Welcome to Dragonfable!
I hope this guide will help you like the game as much as I do.
What is Dragonfable? (bgn01)
Dragonfable is a flashgame made by Artix Entertainment.
You don’t have to download, just click, make an account and play!
It has a lot of humour and a great community (the forums).
What is a Dragon amulet? (bgn02)
A dragon amulet (DA for short) means you are a paid member of the game.
You can buy one for a one time fee of $19,95 or 6 for a one time fee of $29,95 here
What are the benefits? (bgn02a)
There are a lot of benefits for a Dragon Amulet holder:
You can access DA only areas.
You can use stronger weapons, Capes/wings, helmets, rings, necklaces, trinkets, belts and pets.
You can customize your dragon.
You can change the colour of your base armor and some armors you acquire later in game.
You help the game develop and making it even more awesome!
*Note* For $5 extra you get 2000 Dragon coins for each character you bought a Dragon Amulet for!
What are Dragoncoins?(bgn03)
So you noticed Dragoncoins? You must like shiny things!
Dragoncoins are a special currency in DragonFable.
You can buy special weapons, pets , accessories and even classes for your character.
Dragoncoins require real money to get.
For more information about the prices go here and scroll down.
Where do I start?(bgn04)
A lot of beginners have this problem and wander around aimlessly but have no fear! This will help to prevent that!
I will describe the first stages of the game which includes:
Questing
Weapons
Pets
Elements
Stats
Traveling
Your first quest. (bgn04a)
New players will start with a choice, Book 1&2 or Book 3. I recommend starting with Book 1&2 since book 3 requires knowledge from the previous chapters.
The choice will keep appearing untill you set your hometown for the first time.
With that out of the way, lets begin!
First of enjoy the little scene.
After the scene ended, it's time to walk around by clicking on the place you want to go to.
In the next frame you’ll see a bag of gold, Get it!
Next frame, a little scene will occur, the little red guy named “Twilly” will be kicked in your direction and you get the choice to punt him back or help him defeat the monster.
If you choose to help him he will join you as a temporary pet.
*Note* Pets are a kind of equipment that will attack a monster after you attack it.
If you choose to punt him back you’ll still have to fight the monster but without help.
After you defeated the Gorrilaphant you talk to the priestess, she goes her own way and you can finish your quest!
Congratulations you finished your first quest and you leveled up!
Your first quest for a weapon(bgn04b)
From the place where you start. (if you have a Dragon Amulet talk to Rolith -the guy on the right- first and invite him as a guest)
Go left and talk to the guy standing next to the catapult and choose “Sir Jing’s Weapons”.
Keep clicking next and Start Quest.
Defeat all the monsters here and go up the stairs, defeat the monsters here and open the chest.
Choose the weapon that fits your base class. (Staf= Mage, Dagger = Rogue, Sword = Warrior)
Congratulations, you just got your first weapon!
To equip the weapon you can select the bag right of your HP/MP bar, select the weapon you want to equip and click “equip”.
*Note*If you have trouble beating this quest, try using potions, the health potions (the red potion on the left of your skill bar) heals 100 HP each. The mana potions (the blue potions on the right of your skill bar) heals 100 MP each.
Weapons? (bgn04c)
Weapons are important in Dragonfable, they provide an Element and extra stats to your character!
Most of the time the higher level the weapon is the higher the stats and damage output are.
This is not true for Dragon Amulet weapons and Dragon Coin weapons.
For the best weapons in terms of power look here.
Now for the importance of elements and Resistances...
Most monsters have a weakness and/or resistance to certain elements.
You can see them by clicking on the “?” next to the monster’s HP/MP.
For example:
If a monster has “-100” water, that means attacks with a water element will do double damage!
But if a monster has “100 water” your attacks with a water element will do NO damage at all.
*Note* Anything above the 100 resist will heal your enemy!
The resists also count for things like “stun/sleep/daze” and “heal/health”
How higher the resist in stun is, how harder it will be to stun an enemy.
How lower the resist in Heal/health is , how more the self healing skills will heal you.
Stats? (bgn04d)
If all the everything went the way I described in the guide you should be level 5 or higher.
Every level you rise you earn 5 stat points.
Rolith can train stat points for you and later on you can also train them in Falconreach (one screen down from starting screen ,go into the right building and talk to the man in the room.)
The more stat points you put into a certain attributes the better you’ll be.
For information on where to put your stat points, look here.
The priestess’ message(bgn04e)
Before you can leave Oaklore you have to finish the “the priestess’ message” quest.
Go to Rolith once again and select the quest (second from the top).
*Note* Dragon Amulet holders if you don’t have Rolith in your party anymore, invite him again.
Defeat Drakath and the bandits, it's possible at level 5 and your new energy weapon but you can do a few other quests and buy a few weapons in Oaklore if you want.
Click here to go to the Oaklore page to find out what kind of quests and weapons there are.
*Note* Its handy to defeat the bandits because they only have 6 HP and like that reduce the damage that will be dealt against you. Don’t forget to use your potions!
After you defeated them, watch the cutscene and finish the quest.
You can now leave Oaklore and go to Falconreach.
The way to Falconreach (bgn04f)
Let's get out of here!
First go down from the main screen in Oaklore now go right and follow the road.
Go into the forest, and continue the path now y-AMBUSH! Defeat the bandits one by one.
Keep pressing on. Try to get past the bear, Defeat the bear, hate the Blue Moglin Rat and follow the road again.
Ignore the man trying to give you a quest and pass the bridge.(Unless you have a DA, then you can try this quest)
Use your energy weapon to defeat the hydra heads and continue following the road again.
*Note* Defeat the outer hydra heads first since they have very little HP.
*Note2* you can also use a (fire) weapon you may have bought in Oaklore
After following the road pass through the gate,
Welcome in Falconreach!
The thing you want to do now is save Falconreach as your hometown.
From the gate go right once and enter the left building, talk to the blond girl there, select “select hometown” and click “yes”.
Congratulations you set your first hometown!
Getting your dragon (bgn05)
I’m not going to say much about this, talk to Twilly (The red rabbit like thing on the tree stump) to start looking for the Dragon Egg.
This guide will help with finding it.
What can I do in Falconreach? (bgn06)
In falconreach you can:
Train mana and health potions so they heal more.
Travel to other towns by clicking on the sign and choosing “Travel” Map with names.
Do lots of other quests!
Dragon Amulet holders can unlock the Archknight character by talking to ash.
and a lot more.
The orb saga AKA Chapter 1(bgn07)

Elemental dissonance AKA chapter 2 (bgn08)
This is the next main quest chain in Dragonfable.
The Rift war - The Anomaly AKA atrea
Mysterious portals appear all over the place, strange creatures come out chased by fire monsters. What are the creatures? What is their story? Time to find it out!
Rising fire - The Anomaly AKA atrea
More monsters are coming from the portals, this time it seems the mastermind behind this all will show himself, will he really? play and find out!
The search for the professor - The Anomaly AKA atrea - Yolande
The professor can help you, unfortunately he disappeared, it's your job to find him.
Wrath of Wargoth - The Anomaly AKA atrea
Wargoth's final and biggest war! Defeat the army of monsters and face Wargoth, but are you strong enough?
*Note* If you have a Dragon Amulet I highly recommend playing the Alexander saga (Check "(wb4)" for more information as of how to get there) since it has a lot to do with Chapter 2.
*Note 2* New players have trouble unlocking Yolande's questchain, below is a quote on how to unlock the questchain:
quote:
We have noticed that some of you become a bit confused when you see that the new quests are locked... Know that this is not a bug! And has in fact a very simple solution that we will not give to you:
When you get to Atrea and cross the bridge to your left you will find a cloaked friend called Zon'lzz go talk to him and he will give you the Rift War and Rising Fire War both these wars came on the last Friday 13th and are the key to unlock the next stage of the quest chain.
All you have to do is do the quests in those wars in this exact order Rifts Opening... ---> The Puppet General ---> Rising Fire ---> Wargoth Approaches after you do those you will notice that the first quest Yolande gives you will now be unlocked and you will be able to do the quests :)
So do not fear we do not have a big mean bug preventing you from doing the quests you are just missing a small part of the story that you need to have in order to do the quest chain.
Thank you very much for your attention,
Happy week everyone!

If you want you can give them more power by upgrading them.
Check this guide for the information how to do that.
For people coming back(wb)
Welcome back to dragonfable!
If you left in an early stage I recommend reading the beginners part.
What happened while I was gone? (wb1)
Well DF updates every week so probably a lot!
Depending on how long you were gone, you can look at this this guide up to 2012.
Else the Design notes archive might be of help to you.
If you have trouble with releases always feel free to use the Dragonfable Q&A forums.
What is this Doomknight stuff I've heard about? (wb2)
Doomknight is the strongest armor in Dragonfable.
You can buy a piece of equipment, every 6 months you had a Dragon Amulet.
Every piece of equipment (Sword, Helm, Cloak and Armor) costs $19,95 and comes with 10000 Dragon coins EACH!
If you wait 2 years you get a discount, instead of $79,80 you pay $65,00.
What is the levelcap?(wb3)
The current levelcap is 80 this updates once a year most of the times.
If it's raised I'll edit it here.
Engine update 14.0.1(wb4)

You can read all about it here
I heard something about special characters? (wb5)
In Dragonfable you can unlock 2 characters for special storylines.
This can only be done if you have a Dragon Amulet or in The Archknight saga's case a Verified Guardian
One is the Ash Dragonblade saga called "Arch knight"
You can unlock it by talking to Ash and choosing the "Archknight" button.
You can now choose Ash in the character selection.
For help check the Archknight guide
The other is the Alexander saga.
Go to Swordhaven.
quote:
When you are at Swordhaven, you have to go to the burned house. To get there, follow these directions.
Go up -> up -> left -> left -> left -> up through the gate -> left -> up ->right -> right and there is the house. Just enter it and go right. There you will find a book. Open it (by walking towards it) and click on the button.
*Took the quote from Guide to Alexander's past*
