To unlock all the new islands and content in How to Train Your Dragon, you'll need to increase your Dragon Rider level. But how do you even level it up, and what are the fastest and most efficient ways to do it? We'll explore all that and more in this guide. So, here is everything you need to know on how to level up Dragon Rider in the How to Train Your Dragon Roblox experience.
What is Dragon Rider Level in How to Train Your Dragon Roblox?

Dragon Rider level is the rank of your character and the main progression mechanic in the How to Train Your Dragon Roblox experience. You'll need to increase it to unlock new islands and dragons. You can check your level at all times at the bottom left of your screen. Also, you can see the EXP needed for you to reach the next level in the Dragons management menu.
How to Level Up Dragon Rider in How to Train Your Dragon?

Virtually any activity you complete in How to Train Your Dragon will give you EXP and contribute to your Dragon Rider level. Generally, the easier the activity is, the less EXP you will earn for completing it.
For example, the things that reward the least Dragon Ridder EXP are fish catches, training target hits and destructions, and flying through hoops. All of these are required for you to increase your dragon's skills and can be done fairly frequently.
On the other hand, finishing quests and challenges, freeing dragons, and defeating islands (by destroying all training targets) are all activities that give a lot of Dragon Rider EXP. The more difficult/complex the island/quest is, the more EXP you will get.
What is the Fastest Way to Level Up Dragon Rider?

Since story quests and challenges are still fairly limited, so the best way to level up Dragon Rider in How to Train Your Dragon right now is to destroy practice targets and defeat islands. Always try to do the hardest island you've met the requirements for, as it will give the most EXP with the least amount of danger from practice targets.
Dragon Rider Level FAQ
Yes, you can destroy practice targets on islands whose level requirements you haven't met yet. However, the higher practice target damage will make defeating islands difficult, and you'll get one-shot often. So, it's actually faster to grind on an easier island.
What Is the Maximum Island DR Level Requirement?
Currently, the maximum DR (Dragon Rider) level requirement is 10. It's for Island 3 where you unlock the Hideous Zippleback.
Can You Boost the Dragon Rider Exp You Gain?
Yes. Some saddles, like the Mythic Saddle (30,000 Coins), can give you boosts to the EXP you earn for your dragon's skills, and that applies to the Dragon Rider EXP you earn as well.
