In the fun and adventurous School of Dragons, its undeniable that two of your dragon’s best friends are going to be its ability to breathe out burning huffs of fire and you, its loyal and loving caretaker. While training this skill is necessary, Vikings should know the basics of developing their dragon’s skill until they’re a professional at fire-breathing. The best advice is for players to begin to train this skill at least once or twice while they’re playing the game to ensure that these skills will grow at a steady pace.

Fire Breathing

As a Viking in training, it’s one of your many duties to your dragon to teach it how to breathe fire. The best way, and only way, to do this is by practising this special skill until your dragon can perform fire breathing with precise accuracy and an immense amount of strength.
When your dragon is still young, it will not have any capabilities to control its fire-breathing abilities. This means that you must begin to encourage and push your dragon to not be afraid of this fire-breathing – buy instead embrace it until they feel comfortable with learning how to control it. Though becoming closer to your dragon can be challenging, but the easiest way to do so is to take care of its needs, such as feeding it fish. Since fire-breathing training takes time and energy, your dragon will become annoyed if you push it too much, so feeding it fish will help it get back into its groove while also helping build trust and respect to you as their true owner.

Your dragons first time breathing fire is going to two things – messy and dangers. As they have no prior experience breathing fire, they have no control of the flames – not the direction it may fly to. Moreover, their flames are going to be weaker than a more experienced and older dragon. Thigh this is nothing that an understanding Viking cannot fix. During the process of avoiding the stray fireballs, you will teach your dragon how to control this ability and perfect it. After a few training sessions, taking your dragon on a few quests, or just to explore the world, will help it put its new ability to the test in a natural and authentic way. Just remember, your dragon is like you. Sometimes when its tired and is being pushed too much, they’ll get agitated – though using the old but helpful method of feeding them will solve this issue in full. Granted, its recommended for players to spend a good amount of time fishing so they won’t have to worry about doing it during a quest.

Either way, though – one important thing to remember is that the time you spend bonding with your dragon is equally as important as the time and dedication you put into training it.

Once your dragon begins to develop its fire-breathing ability, you will be able to use it more and more during your quests and adventures. One of the best methods is to allow your dragon to focus on setting ablaze a stationary object, which will grow its confidence. Eventually, you should let your dragon practice with moving targets to allow it to build its accuracy and preciseness as well.

Although this will take time, dedication, and energy – the results you will receive from training your dragon and bonding with it will be worth it. Adventuring with them will be more fun, going on quests will be easier, and knowing that your dragon has gained confidence due to you is the best gift of all.

The School of Dragons is a game that can be on mobile devices, IOS and Android, along with being desktop accessible. The game is based off the popular movie series How to Train your Dragon. The focus of the game is to prepare yourself to become the most powerful dragon trainer while having the popular characters featured in the movie, such as Hiccup and his quirky dragon, Toothless.

The game will allow you to pick your dragon that best matches your personality which is followed by having to attend a school where the player must learn how to fly, fish, and of course, how to take care of your new dragon properly! The game requires a significant amount of patience to further the player’s skills along with the dragons. However, excelling faster is a desire that some players feel while playing the game. Therefore, we have listed out top hints, tips, and a few cheats that will help you train your dragon and rise to the top!

1. Spending Gems on Energy Isn’t Worth it

To complete quests in School of Dragons you dragon must have some energy, though in some cases when your dragon does not it can be tempting to buy gems as a quick fix to give your dragon more energy. So, the better option would be to complete mini-games, find food, and other side options that will generate more energy for your dragon – which in some cases can be a pain but it’s worth it in the long run. While the game may offer you easy ways to spend your gems, its better to keep them and save them for when you really need them.

2. You Should Fish and Farm More

This is more so of a continuation of the first tip. The best way to keep you dragon healthy and happy is to fish and farm each time you log onto the game – this will allow you t have enough materials, so you won’t have to spend your precious gems trying to make up for it. Plus, this method will allow you to only have to make one trip to feed your dragon instead of leaving a quest to go find a pond or even having to travel all the way back to your farm to harvest the food.

3. You Should Pay to Grow Your Dragon

Many players who are familiar with the process of training their dragons know that it takes several levels before your dragon is old enough and ready enough for you to ride them and start levelling them up. While some players may like the process of having to watch their dragon grown, sometimes it is worth it to just pay the $5 to grow them into an adult early in the game. Doing this will also unlock two abilities: Broadwing and Shortwing, which means payers are not going to have to wait to level after level to do cool flying tricks and shoot wicked fireballs.

4. Start Exploring the Worlds

The worlds that are inside of Berk are massive – despite some of the building and landscaping choices may seem repetitive at points. Though you should note that some landmarks are key ones that you should remember as they can serve and entrances and exits to different worlds. Plus, this will avoid the multitude of loading screens that come along with entering these words from the normal way. It’s a fact, sometimes this is just the better methods and relying on quest arrows and mindlessly searching for where you need to go.

5. Finish Flight Club More Than One Once

One of the most prized and necessary skills need to be successful in School of Dragons is mastering flying. While it is mandatory to take flight club and all the levels that come with it – taking this course more than once is going to help you boost your flying skills, which will be needed since Wrath of Stromheart is coming, and it costs nothing. So why not perfect your skills now and thank yourself later.

As the Stormheart saga became a hit among the new players and the veteran ones, School of Dragons is finally adding an expansion to the engaging saga which has been officially named Wrath of Stormheart. In this expansion, players are given the chance to train the rare and never before seen Elder Sentinel, explore the treasures and dangers of the newly created island of Vanaheim, along with battling the undefeated Nikora Stormheart – which might treat the players some generous rewards if they defeat the create successfully.

As a quick recap: after Hiccup had his last run in with Stormheart, he has been extremely cautious and on high alert. He decided to take the risk of entrusting the skilled Dragon Trainers on Berk to be the leading team who oversee defending the School. Now, a new threat has reared his notorious head in the form of Nikora Stormheart, who is in search of a prized family heirloom that was lost. The Viking realized that they must come together to fend off the Pirate Queen from taking over the archipelago. As the Vikings are on their new quest, they will be joined by the familiar faces of Snotlout and Fishlegs who will remain loyal by the team’s side.

This new quest will include the following:

• Ten new interactive quests along with beautifully designed underwater locations that can be explored as well
• Training the long-awaited Elder Sentinel
• Having an intense battle with the new and never been seen Grim Gnasher
• Unlocking an array of levels in Dragon Tactics

If you believe you have what it takes to conquer the Wrath of Stormheart, that we urge you to try out this new, intense, and fun expansion to the Stormheart saga! Completing this quest will gift a numerous amount of rewards for the player.

The Titan Woolly Howl is Soaring Through an Icy Blizzard

Along with a dangerous and icy blizzard, the never before seen Titan has begun to make an appearance and can be found on the shores of the School, allowing players to witness the uniqueness of the creature.

This intense dragon has a history of leaving even the fiercest Vikings shivering in fear. Now, this mystical beast has found its way to the school grounds after a large blizzard has run its course. This dragon is not like other ones who have been seen before, the Woolly Howl has the largest and darkest scales around along with talons that are sharper than razors, but the most unique part of this dragon is its antlers.

From early childhood until later adult years, we have always been drawn to solving puzzles. Whether it be jigsaw puzzles, Rubik’s Cubes, logic puzzles, word puzzles, or even just pattern guessing, people of all ages take great pride in being able to correctly and quickly sole a puzzle. But, does puzzle solving have any effect on childhood development?, and are puzzle games for children essential?

Understanding the World Around Them

Everyone knows that the development process of a young child’s brain is heavily influenced by what they see and interact with constantly. Puzzles have been noted by several psychological tests that giving a child the ability to directly work with something in their environment that lets them change its physical shape and overall appearance can help them understand external things in their world better. Having children play with puzzles also helps them develop a basic understanding of fulfillment from solving these puzzles.

Sharper Hand-Eye Coordination

As a child interacts with a puzzle by flipping, turning, or removing pieces, they are furthering developing the core connection between their hands and eyes. As the eyes see the puzzle and each piece of it, their brain becomes more active and begins to envision how the puzzle needs to look and where to place each piece so that it can look like the completed image. After the brain goes through this quick problem-solving sequence, it then sends signals back to the eyes and hands so that all three parts of the child’s body can work together and accurately fit all the pieces together.

Tuning Key Motor Skills

Fine motor skills are needed in any child’s future as they begin to practice handwriting and other related activities. As the child begins to physically solve the puzzle by moving the pieces, they are developing a part of their brain that is in charge of helping limbs make sharp and precise movement. The more puzzles a child solves, the more developed motor skills will become – which in turn will help the child greatly in their future.

Bettering Gross Motor Skills

These are the skills categorised as the movement of the arms and legs. Younger children, such as babies and toddlers, can develop and slowly improve these skills as they play with basic puzzles, like building blocks or other larger, easily movable puzzles. Studies have shown that one a child is introduced to these types of puzzles, solving more complex puzzles as they age will become even easier.

Memory

Puzzles have the ability to help improve a child’s memory, which is essential during their younger years. For instance, when solving a puzzle, a child must remember the size, colour, and the shape of the various pieces as they try to fit each piece in the correct area properly. However, if a piece doesn’t fit, the child will set it aside, but they will need to remember that piece for when its needed again.

Goal Setting

After a child begins to work on more puzzles, they will begin to develop a strategy to help them complete the puzzle in a timely manner. An example of this is when a child will decide to complete the puzzle from the outside edge to the inside to save time, or by sorting the different pieces into piles depending on the shape, colour, or size. This practice will help children develop small goals (solving the puzzle as fast as possible), which can serve as a motivation that will be useful for their future life events.

Parents of younger children should start giving their children puzzles to solve, whether it be a physical puzzle or a puzzle game via an app. This simple process will allow children to start developing the essential skills needed, and this will lead them in the right direction to becoming successful adults.
