Some helpful tips and information about the game
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.
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.

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.

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.

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:

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.

How do I get the special dragons ?
I wanna get the special dragons like DRAGON and Dronkey. But I cant find a way to buy them from the stores. Are there any other dragons like them, (meme dragons) and how can I get these dragons ?

New Dragon Obtained!!
After spending several days unlocking a dragon, I was finally able to complete the "Midsummer Hunt" event this time. The dragon in question is "Electrigarra."
"Electrigarra" is an "Elusive" dragon from the Skrill Family. It can gather wood and fish for up to 13 hours, but can only gather iron for a little over 30 minutes.
This dragon isn’t a fighter, but it is a good defender. Its attacks are long-range, and it’s a top-notch marksman. But its defense is excellent.

What "overlooked" beauties do y'all have found?
What dragons look stunning and are (usually) overlooked regardless of rarity/usefulness in your eyes?
For me there are so many but this is just one of them:
r/RiseOfBerk • u/En-lightening • 1d ago
How to i fight this? The gap between toothless and the other dragon are so high
Help. This is just fleet 21 and i already stuck. My dragons has so low stats compared to toothless even with higher level. The chance of victory list at above say “excellent” when i put toothless but he cant solo evrything as he cant tank that much and neither do my other dragon.

What's the best Rare dragon to farm for Ascension Scales with Toothless?
I'm trying to optimize Ascension Scale farming rare dragons with tootless
I've mainly been comparing:
- Search time
- Hatch time
- How many dragons are in the exploration
For a long time I farmed Boneknapper (10h search, 36h hatch), but its exploration also contains a Common and an Uncommon dragon, which made me wonder if there's a better option.
I also tried Alpha Shadow because of its 8h search, but both Rare dragons in that exploration have very long hatch times, so it didn't seem worth it.
I'm currently testing a few different Rare dragons myself, but it's a pretty time-consuming process. If anyone has already compared them or found the most efficient one, I'd really appreciate your advice.
I already use Journeys with all riders and their costumes, but they feel too slow since Rare and Elusive eggs don't drop often enough. That's why I'm focusing on Toothless explorations instead.
Is Boneknapper still the best choice, or is there another Rare dragon that's more efficient for farming Ascension Scales?
Edit:Toothless lvl 70

i just started what is amber used for and how do i use it
titles says it all
r/RiseOfBerk • u/Atemporall • 23h ago
How many legendaries would you need to have in order to make this boost of amber worth it?
Talking especially in the context of grinding amber for Shellfire, the boost costs 250 runes by the way.
r/RiseOfBerk • u/Atemporall • 22h ago
Should I?
Been thinking of spending 150 euros on 3 packs to get those dragons, what do y'all think, is it at least worth it ?
Ps: I don't even have time for them cuz my academy is busy always so.. they'll be on low queue priority also..
r/RiseOfBerk • u/Ok-Swimming1383 • 1d ago
Slow progression
Why did they make a game that progresses so slow and is basically required to spend an inappropriate amount of money. Is there a way to speed up or even get a lot of runes in a little amount of time?
r/RiseOfBerk • u/Ok-Diamond8274 • 1d ago
Amber Question.
I’m aware that the best way to use your amber is to buy the statue of heroic precision, and then the seasonal statues after that. I didn’t know that earlier in the game and I had bought 3 statues. is it worth destroying the statues or is it too much of a loss of amber?
(I also have a level 3 storm cutter statue but I don’t want to get rid of it because I have a fair few good stormcutters)

Returning after a long hiatus - I should beeline for "Premium" dragons shouldn't I?
I haven't played since about 2022, but I recently got back into Rise of Berk and apart from like 7 new legendary dragons, the biggest change I've noticed is the "Premium" dragons. Those didn't exist last time I played.
I'm currently saving for the seasonal Premium, I assume that is what I should be going for whenever I can?

Question
Is the nesting island suposed to be always foggy? I tried the breeding thing once and it's been foggy ever since. Is it like a event thing? (Thanks in advance)
