Dragon black market
(dragoncityeggs.net and Dragon city guide) The Dragon Black Market is a mini game which allows you to pick from a pack of six Dragons, five of which you can see, and one of which is a mystery. Based on this, you make the decision to purchase the list, at which point you are able to choose from six boxes. From this box, the game picks a dragon for you at random. If you don't like the one you get, you can choose another for 10 Gems. You always get the Special Dragon last and the Mystery Dragon before the Special Dragon.
See the Dragon Types and Breeding section for a full list of the Dragons in Dragon City - this will give you an indication of the types of Dragon that you can expect to find in the Dragon Black Market before you spend any of your Gems.
How the Black Market Works: The Black Market is where you spend Gems to open boxes which contain various dragons. It’s often a cheaper way to get exclusive dragons that would cost many more gems to get via other methods… or dragons that can’t be had any other way.
Of course it can also be a big rip off, as was the case in the Black Market dragons that became Tavern reward dragons shortly after!
The dragons in the boxes are shown on the Black Market list. There are 5 dragons shown, and then another dragon in a Mystery Box. The lists can be changed for 3 gems. You can change the list as many times as you like until the dragon you want is on the list.
Once the dragon you want is on the list, you can open the boxes. You can only accept the prize from one of the boxes. The cost to open the boxes is either 10 or 20 gems depending on which box it is.

The Mystery Box is always the 5th box you open. So to know the dragons that might be in the Mystery Box, check out the list of dragons in the 5th box.
You can’t know for sure if the dragons you want from that list are in the Mystery Box until you open it. So it’s advisable that you change lists until a dragon you also want is in the 6th box, in case the Mystery Box doesn’t contain a dragon you want! Then you will be able to open the last box.
If you should have a blank list, or a list with less than 6 dragons (including the Mystery box) it is because of a bug. If you open the boxes you will probably not get the dragon you expect, so change the list or don’t play if you get this bug!
