Rise of Berk Beginner Guide 2026 | Ultimate Starter Tips for New Players

Summary

This beginner guide for Dragons: Rise of Berk focuses on making steady progress by keeping dragons busy, collecting daily rewards, and saving runes for useful upgrades. It is a gameplay tips video rather than a storyline overview.

Key Tips and Strategies

• Keep Toothless on journeys: Send Toothless out whenever he is available to earn runes and resources, and to find dragons.
• Prioritize Toothless’s levels: Higher levels unlock better searches and adventures with improved rewards.
• Assign dragons to gather resources: Keep as many dragons as possible searching for fish or gathering wood instead of leaving them idle.
• Spend runes carefully: Save them for additional hatchery slots rather than using them to speed up Toothless’s return or training.
• Check Johan’s boat each day: Trade fish or wood for useful items that can help complete collections and earn rewards. The creator advises against using runes for these trades.
• Claim daily login rewards: Log in regularly to collect rewards, including runes and sometimes dragons.
• Keep dragons training: Use the available training slots consistently so dragons are ready for later progress.
• Use the small boat once it is unlocked: Trade through it for items the guide describes as useful for progression.
• Clear rocks and trees: Removing obstacles can provide resources and, in some cases, runes.
• Organize Berk for convenience: Place frequently used dragons near the main area so they are easy to find and send out.
• Open the daily mystery pack: Claim its free resources and other rewards.
• Send dragon riders on adventures: Keep riders active for rewards and possible free dragons. The creator recommends free or lower-rune options over paid ones.
• Complete battle-pass quests: These can provide runes and other rewards.
• Check the mailbox: Collect any available gifts, resources, or runes.
• Try events: Beginners are encouraged to participate for rewards, even if they do not expect to progress far.
• Enjoy the game at your own pace: The creator notes that the game teaches many of its mechanics as you play.
• Link and save your account: The video says signing in through Google Play or Facebook saves progress and grants 200 runes. Linking is optional.
• Watch in-game ads for runes: The creator points out an official in-game option to earn 10 runes per ad.
• Use the Dragon Book: Browse dragons, requirements, stats, and resource-gathering details to help decide which dragons to pursue.

The video also mentions an optional separate tutorial about earning up to 100,000 free runes, but does not explain that method here.
