Having trouble understanding the site? Start by determining if your dragon is an "emergency".
The ND Daycare is for growing dragons of all ages.
First submit your scroll name. In the following table, you can select which dragons you want to add by checking the corresponding box, or you can remove a previously added dragon by unchecking the box. You can also add emergency dragons to the ER, if you would like — just check the "Add to ER" box. When you are finished, click "Update Dragons" to save your changes.
At the ND ER, anything with 4 days or less will be accepted.
You can choose whether you want your dragon(s) to be added to the ER, or skip the ER and only have them auto-refresh. To add them to the ER, simply submit your code(s) using any (or all) of the boxes, and they will be added and refresh once per second in the smaller box(es). Otherwise, select "Refresh; don't ER" and they will skip the ER, but still auto-refresh.
The Extras page has several aids for neglected experimenters.
Most notable are the ND-only ARs, which only accept ND experiments or severe emergencies with 2 hours or less. The ND ARs are purely auto-refreshers — using them will not add your dragon(s) to the ER.
To reset a single AR box (stop refreshing it), submit a blank code. The remaining boxes will still refresh as usual.
To reset all boxes at once, click the provided button.
Resetting the box(es) will not remove the dragon(s) from the ER.
Site clean-up happens automatically every half hour.
You can also help keep the site clean through the stars on both the Main Viewer and the Popup Viewer. ERs may be removed early by fogging the dragon, and then clicking its clean-up star.
The "OV:UV Ratio" column in the Daycare is merely for information. It shows how many Overall Views a dragon has for every Unique View it has gained. No ratio is better than any other — some people prefer to stay as close to 1:1 as possible, while others aim for 15:1 (the highest DC will allow). In both cases, dragons can reach adulthood with no trouble.
Ratios do affect how many of a given type of views a dragon needs, however. With a lower ratio, the dragon will need more UVs, but fewer OVs, in order to grow on time. Higher ratios need fewer UVs, but many more OVs. It is a trade-off, but as long as there are enough of both types of views, the dragon will grow. And if there are too many of either/both types of views, the dragon will get sick, regardless of how high or low the ratio is — a dragon with a 1:1 ratio is just as able to get sick as a dragon with a 15:1 ratio.
