First of all, you need to know what dragons you can craft (there are other craftable dragons, however im showing you the "easier to get" dragons):
Azulian dragon:

Special ingredint: (40) glacial shards and the dragon coin number needed is 10(just so you know....)this is one of the recipes.

Neon dragon:

Special ingredient: (5) robotic salvage

Ancient dragon:

Special ingredient: (25) mushroom chunks

Moonwing dragon:

Special ingredient: (10) faerie dust

Bone dragon:

Special ingredient: (15) bones

Winter dragon:

Special ingredient: (50) glacial shards

Starlight dragon:

Special ingredient: (10) diamonds

all dragons in the game of trove (not only the ones i mentioned) are able to glide (i think all of them)

To even craft the dragon souls you need to go to the dragon idol in the hub, which looks abit like this:
When you go down the stairs you will see a crafting station(dragon crucible).
This is where all of the magic happens :)

All of the dragons(the ones i mentioned in this guide) have a crafting template which looks like this:

4 dragon coins (azulian dragon needs 10)
dragon coins are recieved by doing "challenges"(like, the ones that make you do like 10 dungeons before the time runs out) and sometimes you recieve them from mastery rank up rewards(rarely, check the rewards) you can also buy them from the store for 750 cubits, with all this, dragon coins shouldnt be that hard to get...


1 golden soul

(item)^^


(ore)^^ (thats how you get the golden souls, they start to spawn in worlds master onto uber+)

special ingredient (all of them mentioned in the dragons ssection)

This is to craft ONE dragon soul of your choosing.

This part i will use the ancient dragon (in my opinion its the easiest to get) as an example.

1st,
Go to the dragon crucible and chose the dragon you will be crafting

2nd,
Craft the dragon souls of your chosen dragon and consume/use them(as if you were using a bomb)


3rd,
The number of dragon souls you have crafted you can view by going to your badges and opening the tab called <chosen dragons name> ascension, this then shows you the progress of the dragon souls you have consumed.

Dragon ascension(rewards for consuming dragon souls):
1 dragon soul = dragon hat


5 dragon souls = dragonling ally (different dragons have different stats)


10 dragon souls = dragon fledgling (mount/non-gliding dragon)


25 dragon souls = arsenal (this is a pack of styles for every class weapon in the game. spear, bow, sword, staff e.t.c)

50 dragon souls = Dragon (a bigger version of fledgling dragon that can glide)


(i, myself, stop at 50. too much effort XD)

90 dragon souls = The biggest dragon and a radiant aura (varies depending on the dragon)

100 dragon souls = stat boost
