GOAL In Dragons: Rise of Berk, you help Hiccup teach Vikings and Dragons how to live together and build up the village of Berk. As your dragons grow, so does your city!

FINDING DRAGONS Hiccup and Toothless search for Dragon Eggs on the islands around Berk: Select Toothless' roost and tap the Search button, then choose the dragon you want to find, and select 1-3 saddlebags that you want to fill on this trip. Toothless' level determines which dragons can be found during a Search. Toothless can find Dragon Eggs, or resources such as Fish, Wood or Runes.

HATCHING DRAGONS All Dragon Eggs are hatched at the Hatchery. Once the Egg is hatched, you will see what kind of Dragon you've found! You can then place the baby dragon on the island of Berk.

FEEDING DRAGONS You must feed dragons so they can grow and acquire skills. Select a dragon and press the FEED button to spend a certain amount of Fish. After 3 feedings (After Titan stage there are 4 feedings), the dragon gains a level. The dragon's skills improve, and the feed costs increase.

TRAINING DRAGONS After a certain number of feedings, the dragon requires TRAINING at the Dragon Academy. Training takes time, gives the dragon an immediate level increase, and may unlock a new skill or a new appearance. Dragon training is limited by the current level of the Dragon Academy.

DRAGON JOBS Dragons have two jobs: FISHING and LOGGING. When a dragon has the Fishing skill, press FIND FISH to send that dragon to an available Fish Hut spot. When a dragon has the Logging skill, press FIND WOOD to send that dragon to an available Sawmill spot. Dragons have a specific fishing/logging RATE and a fishing/logging TIME LIMIT. Dragons will perform their jobs until the time limit is reached, or you press the CALL BACK button. Each Fish Hut and Sawmill can be upgraded to hold a maximum of 3 dragons simultaneously.

STORING DRAGONS Dragons can be stored in the Dragon Hangar to make room for new dragons. To store a dragon, select its roost, press its info and select SEND TO HANGAR. To return a Stored dragon from the Hangar to Berk, go to the Hangar, select OPEN, choose the dragon, and press PLACE IN BERK.

RELEASING DRAGONS You can release unwanted Dragon Eggs or Dragons in exchange for a certain amount of Fish. You can release a Dragon Egg instead of placing it in the Hatchery. You can release a Hatched dragon instead of placing it on Berk. You can release a Stored dragon from the Hangar instead of placing it on Berk.

BUYING DRAGONS Toothless' level determines which Dragons are available in the Store. Press the Dragon Egg button on the screen and select your dragon. You can also buy unique dragons, such as Stormfly, Meatlug or Hookfang.

VIKINGS AND MEADE HALL

Berk needs Vikings as much as it needs Dragons. You need to have a certain Viking population in order to place dragons, buy buildings, or upgrade buildings. Your VIKING LIMIT is the maximum number of Vikings you can currently hold on Berk. Your Viking Limit can be increased by upgrading Meade Hall.

ADDING VIKINGS To add more Vikings to Berk, you must buy new Viking homes. Select the Viking display to open the Viking store and see which buildings are available. Place the buildings on Berk to add more Vikings to your population.

UPGRADING BUILDINGS You can upgrade almost any building on Berk except the Viking homes. Select the building and press the Upgrade button. When the upgrade is complete, the building statistics are improved. You can also repair the home for the main Dragon Riders: Astrid, Fishlegs, Snotlout, and Ruffnut & Tuffnut.

EXPANDING BERK In Dragons: Rise of Berk, Berk starts off as a small island...but does not stay small for long! You can repair bridges connecting to new areas of Berk.

CLEARING OBSTACLES You can clear Trees and Rocks from Berk by spending Fish or Wood. Clearing Trees rewards you with a small amount of Wood. Clearing Rocks gives you a small amount of Runes.

RESOURCES Dragons: Rise of Berk uses three resources: Fish, Wood, and Runes. Fish is stored in the FISH BASIN. Wood is stored in the WOOD STACK. You can upgrade both buildings to increase your storage capacity. Fish and Wood are earned by dragons working at Fish Huts and Sawmills, clearing trees, releasing Dragons, completing explorations or completing missions. Runes are earned by clearing rocks, completing explorations or completing missions.

<p style="text-align: center; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">BUYING RESOURCES You can purchase Fish, Wood and Runes directly from the store. First, select the resource you want to buy to open the appropriate store. You can buy full or partial refills of Fish and Wood from the store. The amount of Fish or Wood is determined by your storage capacity. You buy Runes in fixed bundles.

<p style="text-align: center; font-style: normal; font-weight: normal;">MISSIONS Characters in Berk will give you missions to complete. Select a character portrait under the Mission Scroll to begin a mission. Missions reward you with some combination of Fish, Wood or Runes.
