How to make 🐛 Dragonfly — step by step
The cheapest known path. Craft each step in order — every ingredient is either a basic element or something you make earlier in this list.
- Water + Water = LakeBoth Water and Water come straight from your starting elements — craft Lake first, everything else in this chain depends on it.
- Earth + Lake = SwampSwamp is a stepping stone — keep it in your inventory, later steps build directly on it.
- Fire + Swamp = DragonIf you already made Dragon in an earlier session you can skip this one and move on.
- Earth + Wind = DustOne quick craft for Dust: drag Earth onto Wind and keep the result for the chain.
- Dragon + Dust = DragonflyFinal craft: combine Dragon and Dust to make Dragonfly. That's the whole path — 5 crafts total.

Why this is the cheapest path to Dragonfly
We rank every known recipe for Dragonfly by total crafts from the four starting elements, not just by the final combination. The two direct ingredients — Dragon and Dust — cost 4 and 2 crafts to build from scratch, which is why the whole chain above needs only 5 crafts. The alternatives in the table below are ranked the same way: their "approx. cost" is the pricier ingredient plus one, so you can see at a glance which route actually saves you crafts — and which ones quietly waste five.
Alternative combinations for Dragonfly
| Combination | Approx. cost |
|---|---|
| Dandelion + Dragon | 5 crafts |
| Dragon + Lighthouse | 6 crafts |
| Dragon + Perfume | 6 crafts |
| Dragon + Window | 6 crafts |
| Helicopter + Swamp | 7 crafts |
Any valid combo works — pick the ingredients you already have.
