About this site

A year-round companion for Dragon Traveler players.

Dragon Companion brings together character references, team formations, equipment and systems, official news, coupon reports, and the original Shovel Event tools. It is an independent fan project, not a game client.

What we publish

We publish source-attributed game references and original practical guides. Community data is labeled separately from official notices, regional availability is not inferred from language, and update failures leave the last good snapshot visible. The interactive shovel map and event route sheets retain their existing workflow.

Interactive map

A visual board with a current-step marker, active-floor window, route statistics, affected cells, playback controls, and browser-based progress saving.

Route sheet

The current event sequence formatted as step, floor, A–F row, and action for players who prefer a compact checklist or second-screen reference.

Written guide

Original explanations for coordinates, action labels, route statistics, limitations, progress storage, and ways to diagnose a mismatch.

How route information is presented

Each route entry records a step number, action type, row, floor, active floor, shovels spent, item inventory, and any cells expected to be affected. The simulator uses those fields to draw the selected step and calculate its stats. The route sheet exposes the core instruction fields without the larger board.

Keeping both views tied to one numbered sequence makes reports specific. Instead of saying that a late floor looks wrong, a player can identify the first differing step, its coordinate, the expected action, and the observed result. That evidence is more useful than guessing from a later board state.

Verification standard

  • Coordinates must agree between the map and the route sheet.
  • The expected active floor, shovel count, bombs, and rockets should remain internally consistent from one step to the next.
  • Chest and power-up actions are tracked separately so later inventory checks can expose an earlier missed pickup.
  • Pages show an updated date and retain a beta notice while community verification is still recommended.

Corrections and editorial independence

Accuracy matters more than preserving a published route. If you find a mismatch, stop at the first affected step and report the step number, floor, row, expected action, current inventory, and what appeared in the game. Reports with a screenshot of the local board state are easier to evaluate than reports based only on a later floor.
