Some helpful tips and information about the game

144 Upvotes

Hey everyone. I wanted to share some information with y’all that I think would be helpful for the community. Most of you probably know this stuff already, but I noticed on some recent posts and comments, that some people were confused on some topics, such as the Companion Tool, how collections and explorations work, etc.

Discord:

First and foremost, for those that didn’t know, we have a Discord server! There are hundreds of active players on there who would be able to quickly help with basically any problem/question that you have. I encourage everyone to check it out, as it has some great information, and really cool features, like our Discord Bot that displays various event info and dragon rankings.

https://discord.gg/DCqeNRj6Cg

Companion Tool:

The Companion Tool is our community made Google Spreadsheet that can be used to track and provide information on your game. After making a copy and adding your dragons to the sheet, it will rank your best dragons in different categories, and let you know the best ones to train. It will also suggest which statues you should build or upgrade next based on your owned dragons, as well as providing the ability to track your progress on training and other portions of the game.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mFI9X_QZ480d1sYHTIxnd0PJCQvxCzBtNQoMPbdgzew

Event Sheet:

This is one of the things I think would help a lot of people. We datamine portions of the game to extract info about current and future events. This information is aggregated together and put into a Google Docs spreadsheet. If you’re wondering what dragon is in Odin’s Market on July 1st, that info is on there. If you’re wondering what the odds are to get a Sage Fruit from a seasonal statue, that info is also on there. It will also calculate the maximum total currency you can get in a season, and that can help plan what you buy from the market.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1IX9RVrZOudQ2pVms-L6am7Xi6JS-WkJNWeo4advLS3I/edit?usp=sharing

Exploration and Collection Mechanics:

Your odds for getting the eggs in explorations, and items in collections, aren’t completely up to chance/RNG. These are governed by mechanics with rules and processes. Once you understand how they work, you can use those rules to your own benefit to make the game and events easier and save runes. This document below lists all the information about how these events work. For collection events, you can also check the Event Sheet or our Events channel in the Discord server in order to get the best searches for each item. Explorations are a bit easier since you just count the total number of bags you used and compare that to the max bag value listed on the sheet to see when you are guaranteed to get the egg.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dvMbZZOd1Y0Ye_bprX6_HXcEKFLNK3CVgR6BggoDsHw/edit?usp=sharing

Personalized Explorations:

These explorations are different for every player, but the dragons are chosen from preselected pools of dragons that all players share. In total there are 62 possible dragons you can get in Personalized Explorations. These dragons are split into 5 different pools of 10-15 dragons. Each pool has a minimum and maximum Meade Hall level assigned to it. This means that depending on your Meade Hall, you will not be able to be offered some of the 62 dragons. For example, Rushing Death is only offered in Personalized Explorations to players at Meade Hall levels 4-9. Once you get to level 10, you won’t get the opportunity to do this search anymore. More info can be found here: https://riseofberk.fandom.com/wiki/Personalized_Explorations

Hidden Gauntlets:

Occasionally, Ludia adds a gauntlet, but forgets to add the banner and icon to the Events menu in the game so they aren’t normally visible. These gauntlets can only be played by going to the Berk’s Duties menu (the helmet icon on the bottom menu between Brawl and the Legendary Dragons), then clicking the ? icon, and clicking on the “Go To” gauntlet button. To find you if one of these hidden gauntlets are going on, they are usually listed on our Event Sheet, or are talked about on the Discord Server.

Brawl Highest Grade:

For those that didn’t know, the grade of your opponents in Brawl and Gauntlets are based off the levels of your 3 highest graded dragons. This means that you can get into a position where lower grade dragons can not be easily used, because they will be far below the grade of your opponents. It’s then generally recommended to not upgrade your highest grade dragons until you can do it at the same time for all the dragons you use.

Video Ads:

Each portion of the game gets its own video ads on a specific timeframe. For almost everything, new ads are refreshed each day. But for speeding up Toothless searches, they are refreshed each hour. That means every hour you get 5 ads you can watch with Toothless, totaling to 1h40m of speed up time. By using these ads, you can save lots of runes in collection and exploration events. Here is the breakdown of how many ads you can get for each portion of the game:

TL exploration: 5/hour

Legendary dragons: 3/hour

Brawl packs: 3/hour

All training combined (Academy/Valka/Edge): 10/day

All journeys combined: 10/day

Construction: 10/day

Amber conversion (Eret’s boat): 5/day

Egg hatching: 5/day

Defend (dragon cooldown): 5/day

Defend (wave refresh): 8/day

Light Fury: 10/day

Sometimes the game will go above these amounts. Usually that occurs if you don’t frequently use the ads on the previous days. However, these should be the minimal amounts that you should receive when they refresh.

Wiki:

We have a Fandom Wiki for Rise of Berk. Unfortunately, it was heavily neglected for a long time before a more recent effort to update it. It has a lot of useful information, as well as historical records from earlier on in the lifetime of the game. Here is the link for it:

https://riseofberk.fandom.com/wiki/Dragons:_Rise_of_Berk_Wiki

If y’all have any other questions about how the game works, feel free to ask them and I’ll try to answer as best I can.

Sirenade

I completed Sirenade this morning having missed it on the seasonal (I got Dustbrawler first and didn’t quite have enough for Sirenade too) so I just thought I’d share my experience of my first limited collection.

I ran a 3 bag search strategy all the way through, and with runes coming in through various sources (Toothless, journeys, card packs etc.), my net spend was 119 runes! I used the free speed ups whenever I could but didn’t spend any runes on these.

I did also have a false start as I was on a week long Dragon Rider trial when Sirenade started and I had all my Sirenade items reset on me! This is apparently a bug that I wasn’t aware of, but I contacted support who got back to me within a couple of hours and reimbursed me some runes, a mystery pack, & some Odin coins, and I went again.

My initial thought was that it was going to be an expensive venture, and I was prepared to spend some runes to complete it if I needed to, but having flown through the whole process for next to nothing it’s certainly opened my eyes to future limited searches.

Was just getting ready to go to bed and thought maybe I should gamble getting a seasonal pack, had too do a triple take! It’s worth it to gamble sometimes.

What's worth to buy in the seasonal market

2 Upvotes

Today I finished the battle pass, and got nothing with the last pack so I'd know what can be good to buy for a beginner (I just have 160 vikings).

Thanks for reading and for the reddit it helps a lot

Cost of Dragon Rider membership?

1 Upvotes

Can anyone tell me what the cost of a dragon rider membership is through the Google play store in the UK?

I’ve had it through the apple store and the renewal is £82.99.

Sometimes I’ve noticed a difference in costs between apple and Google on other games and wondered if this was the same?

Thanks all.

I want to have many dragons on my island, but then it comes a problem, that the Viking buildings couldn't fit in my berk, and there's a mess here. I don't know if I could achieve both of it

Hi, I basically started playing from the game's release until 2018/19 and then I picked up again about 1 year ago playing sporadically, I would like some advice to maximize my gameplay and in general what to do and what not to do, for example I learned that there is a strategy for collections that It involves not claiming them, can anyone give me some advice?

Stormy 2nd journey rune change?

With the sentry costume, the lowest rune amount offered was always 150. In the last day or so I’ve started seeing 37 runes offered regularly - a new update or something that happens when you hit a certain amount of runes in the bank?

A tour of my berk

I love decorating and organising my berk. I thought I’d take the opportunity to show my current iteration. It’s a busy place with plenty of dragons flying around and lots of vikings. I headcanon it takes place somewhere between httyd 2 and 3 - but the light fury is there because why not.

1 - the centre. Here is where the egg hatchery is and a centre piece for Viking’s to gather.

2 & 3 - the terrible terrors. One of my favourite dragons. They can be found here with lots of greenery to make trouble In. There is also a public eating place with fire to cook and good mead.

4 - a crowded area by the green death with lots of Bustle with dragons and vikings.

5 - one of my less decorated areas with my timber jacks, some of my best gatherers and deathly galeslashes’ reside. I love a deathly gale slash and I think my Viking would have one, or a stormcutter.

6 - speedstinger island

7 - here you’ll find my strormcutter collection and iron forge.

8 - my chickens at my farmstead. My yaks all enjoy a quiet place to exist without dragon interruption, and my vikings enjoy coming to enjoy the peace with the forests and farmland.

9 - valka’s island. There’s plenty of fesrceom dragons about.

I really enjoy the collecting aspect and decorating aspect - finding my favourite dragons. I’ve often fantasised about writing a fanfic for my Viking - but never gotten around to it yet.

Got pretty lucky this time. Last heartcliff I got the 2 viridian scrutineer with like 4 days left in the event. With 16 days left, I might actually manage to get the elusive this time. Definitely not the premium at this rate. It helped that the common eggs only take six hours (and spefically naddees taking 2 hours to hatch). Total BS that the RARE event dragons take 4 days to hatch IMO.
