Function

In this mode, you send out 5 dragons to explore a region. You can gain runes and amethyst from sending your dragons out to Explore. Sending out dragons with high Closeness increases the chances of them coming back with a Rare rune. You can only obtain Normal and Rare rarity runes from Explore. The amount of time it takes for your dragons to finish exploring a region depends on the region:

1. Elemental Forest: 1 hour for a 1-star rune
2. Sea of Sapphire: 2 hours for a 2-star rune
3. Canyon of Biting Wind: 4 hours for a 3-star rune
4. Land of Fire Dragon: 6 hours for a 4-star rune
5. Forgotten Ruins in the Sky: 9 hours for a 5-star rune
6. Screaming Onyx Castle: 12 hours for a 6-star rune

You can make an exploration finish instantly by paying some diamonds. It is not recommended to do this under any circumstances - it is far too expensive.

Hot Time (EXP/Gold)

• From 8pm until 10pm based on your server’s time, Adventure Mode will have a banner announcing that it is Hot Time. During this time, you get 50% more EXP during weekdays or 100% more EXP during weekends. As you can guess, this is prime grinding time. You can grind fodder during other times, but it is not recommended because it will use up a lot more wings. But it’s fine to do it at times because you are in a rush, because you just need one more fodder to get that dragon up to 6-stars, or because you can’t grind during Hot Time. This is especially true if you are part of a high level clan and already have high EXP bonus - there’s no need to wait for Hot Time if you already have 100% EXP bonus and are raring to go! Every now and then, you will receive an in-game notification that there will be Hot Time for 48 hours over a weekend. During this time, the gold you receive as a victory reward from Adventure stages will be doubled.

• This is an extremely good time to grind especially if you have auto pick-up (you can save your free monthly auto-pick up for these days). In Hell, you can receive between roughly 3500 and 5000 gold as a victory reward from each stage. When you play during Gold Hot Time, you can receive up to 10,000 gold per stage! Factor in Clan level rewards, you may get even more! Not to mention the extra that you can gain from auto pick-up.Something I like to do when Gold Hot Time is announced is to do a big summon shortly before the day begins, so that I have plenty to grind over the whole 48 hours. I also like to buy the $0.99 Gold boost, to further increase my gold rewards. At the end of the weekend, I've gained a sizeable loot in Gold, Diamonds, and Amethyst - not to mention the now fully-levelled dragons I have.
