Dragon Slaying - Dracano

Now that you've crafted your Ancient Box, you should go back to the Bristle Woods to get the Acolyte.

After catching the Acolyte, were now gonna aim for the Dragon Mouse back here in teh Tribal Isles. But how do you stop a fire-breathing mouse? With ice, of course.


Recipe:-
1x Frozen Scroll + 1x High Tension Spring Parts + 60x Runes
= 1 Ice Maiden

If you read my Bristle Woods section, you'll see that the Acolyte drops a loot known as the Mysterious Box. Opening one will give you a Frozen Scroll. If you're lucky, it should give you some Runes for your Ice Maiden.

If not, then you'll just have to farm in the Forbidden Grove, since Runes cannot be traded or sent. So, just be patient and eventually you'll get your 60 Runes and no, were not gonna use them to make more Runic!

For the High Tension Spring Parts, just head back to Gnawnia and buy the High Tension Spring, then smash it.

If you're done crafting your items together, you'll end up with this:-
Ice Maiden (Draconic) 
Power: 5,200, Power Bonus: 12%Attraction Bonus:-, Luck: 8, Cheese Effect: -
So far the only Draconic weapon available and the only thing that can capture a dragon. 5,000 power is quite amazing and 8 luck is quite nice.

Inferno Peppers
Meanwhile i hope you've still have some spare Pepper Seeds in your Inventory. This time, you'll be combining all three kinds, the red, blue and yellow into one plant. The outcome? a white pepper plant known as an Inferno Pepper plant.

 Like the other pepper plants, plucking the inferno plant will give you Inferno Peppers. Just keep on plucking until you have at least 18 peppers.


Inferno Harvati:-
Recipe (6 pieces):-
 6x Inferno Peppers + 16x Coconut Milk + 18x Curds and Whey + 6x Fire Salt

Now that you have the trap and the bait, you're ready to go to the Dragon's lair, Dracano.

Dracano
In Dracano, you'll encounter new types of mice known as Draconic mice, which means only your Ice Maiden. Arm it with your Aqua/Tribal base and you'll do fine. Dracan has a population of only three mice: the Whelpling, Draconic Warden and the Dragon mouse.

Dracano isn't a bad place to hunt. The Whelpling gives a huge amount of  gold and is an easy catch. The Draconic Warden is a slightly harder catch, but gives high amount of points and the Dragon gives a very huge amount of both. The main problem is that the bait requires some time to get.

Your main objective here is to catch the Dragon. By now you should know that the Dragon is tough, so you can try using the Prospector's Charm for a better chance of getting the Dragon. If you're unlucky and ran out of bait before getting a dragon, then you'll have to restart the whole cycle again. 

When I say the whole cycle it means farming for Delicious Stones/Seashells/Vegetables then using them to craft Crunchy/Shell/ Gumbo cheese to farm pepper seeds to farm fire salt to get more Inferno Harvati. Yeah, it's a tough process...

If you've finally got it, it'll drop a Dragon's Chest. Inside, it has a variety of items from the Tribal Isles. It also has two important loots known as the Zugzwang's Scarf and the Magic Feather. With the Zugzwang's Scarf, you can travel to the Seasonal Garden when you reach the rank Lord!

Another special loot dropped by all three mice here is the Dragon Ember. With the ember, you can now craft a very powerful base.


Recipe:-
1x Dragon Ember + 200x Scrap Metal + 12x Tiny Platinum Bars
= 1 Molten Shrapnel Base

Farming 200 Scrap Metal could take a while since it is quite an uncommon drop in the Catacombs.

The platinum bars if you remembered, can be bought in the Training Grounds for 60,000 gold per piece. Total all 12 and it costs 720,000 gold. Quite expensive even for a Knight.

The base's point requirement is 18,000,000. If you still haven't earned enough points, you can craft it later.

Molten Shrapnel Base
Power: 300, Power Bonus: 12%Attraction Bonus:5%, Luck: 8, Cheese Effect: Extremely Stale
The combination of the Monolith Base's power and the luck of the Aqua Base resulted in this base. The only problem is it's extremely stale cheese effect. Other than that, it's quite a good base with a high power, decent attraction and a good amount of luck.
