Dragons: Rise of Berk iPhone/iPad Cheats and Tips

Number 1: In order to level up your mead hall, you need to have X many dragons at X Level before you can upgrade... To make this cheaper, try keeping a couple of terrible terrors at max level and keep them there because in my experience... Those are one of the cheapest dragons to level up quickly...

Number 2: Overnight when you are sleeping, sometimes you miss out on the possibility of getting more resources... In this case, try keeping a high level Snaptrapper out on berk because they can search for resources for a much longer time than most others...

Number 3: If you are trying to get resources quickly, first, try getting some Shockjaw's and Hackatoo's when you can, and when available, go for a Boneknapper...

Number 4: Always have Toothless searching for something so you don't waste time...

Hope this helps and I will post more hints in the comments as I discover them...

Free runes can be earned as a reward for completing TapJoys offers.

If you go to the in game store and look underneath all of the rune purchasing options you will be able to earn free runes from watching advertisement videos.

Knock out as many trees and rocks as possible so that you have more space for additional dragons and vikings.

Upgrade Toothless as soon as possible so that he is able to go to more different islands.

Make a point of upgradeing the sawmill and the fish hut first so you are able to send more than one dragon there at a time. Don't forget to also upgrade dragons so they can go there more times.

If you follow the quests in the top left corner they will help you to rebuild and guide you. They will also reward you lots of wood, runes and fish.
