What the cited sources add
A sponsored Pocket Gamer guide explains that players can access the Ancient World after reaching Level 27.[4][5] The guide describes the Ancient World as six new islands that serve as habitats aligned to new elements.[4] According to the guide, there are 18 Ancient Dragons, and players acquire them by building mines and gathering crystals.[4] The guide lists six crystal types: Diamond, Topaz, Emerald, Ruby, Sapphire, and Onyx.[4]
A TouchArcade article reports that by its tenth anniversary, Dragon City featured over 1,600 unique dragons.[3] The same article states that every month, ten new dragons and up to seven mini-game events are added.[3]
