Open world maps in Cantha are on a slightly different day/night cycle in which both day and night have the same duration. Thus, one hour of Tyrian Time corresponds to five minutes of real time, and one minute of Tyrian Time corresponds to five seconds of real time. Before Version ?, Sea and Ice habitats used to store only 1 dragon at Level 1, unlike other habitats with the same level (which stores 2 dragons).A single day-night cycle lasts for 2 hours in real time, though in-universe it is considered to take 24 hours.Some other buildings (such as the Stadium) in the past share the same requirement before being fully functional.

However, upgrading them to their bigger version doesn't require the same thing, unlike their basic version.Alternatively, the player could use some to substitute them. Before Version ?, Ice Habitats and Metal Habitats need some assistance from the player's friends before it could store dragons.For example, the Nature habitat will always be less pricey than the Dark habitat.

One thing this new system keeps from the old one is the fact that the price for habitats with early elements is cheaper, compared to later elements (assuming both of them have the same level).Please click here to view the FAQ article about this new Habitat pricing system at the Social Point Player Support. This new system ensures the cost for each habitat could keep up and match with the player's progress throughout the game. As you can see in the table above, each copy will become pricier, as the player builds more habitat with the same element. However, the pricing system was changed.It stays the same, no matter how many copies the player has. For example, the 5 th Terra habitat has the same cost as the 2 nd Terra habitat. Before Version ?, the price for duplicated habitat is constant.This also implies that elemental token for ancient elements does NOT exist in the game.

However, habitats for ancient elements still using 'Small' and 'Big' terms (which means they only have 2 levels).

During Version ?, the shop will only offer the Big version of each habitat (and remove the Small version) once the player reached the minimum level to build them.

Before elemental tokens were introduced to the game (which is back in version ?), each habitat only has 2 levels : 'small' or 'big' (which is equivalent to 'Level 1' and 'Level 2', respectively).

the exception is the Legend Habitat, which requires a 6×6 space instead.

Almost All basic habitats have a 4×4 size grid.
