Start: 600 coins + Collection: 600 coins every 8 hours = 6000 coins in total.
Plus additional coins from quest and freebies.
For collectingtimes check this.
New dragon: Nyami, buying out the last piece is 1500 coins.
We also can get 250 gems from a treasure chest.
We can also get other rewards for collecting pearls on our way.
There are 34 purple tiles which could hold the chest with the 250 gems. It is not located in a special place. It is just about the number of chests you have to open to get that reward. For some players it is number three, for some number 34. I drawed the cheapest way to open all chests on purple fields. If you are unlucky and have to open all chests on purple fields to get the 250 gems you will need around 8200 coins. Mobile and Windows 10 users should skip the tutorial .
The chests contain:
Orange fields: Orbs of Aquamarine #206,
Green fields: Orbs of Double Sea #279,
Purple fields: Orbs of Kraken #516, 250 gems.
Not coloured fields: Orbs of Aquaking #732, shells. Collect pearls to get Nessy #521 and a chest with tokens, joker orbs, essences and food.
All chests can also hold gold, food and essences.
Not each chest holds dragon orbs.
Map 1 is for mobile and windows 10 (7960 coins), map 2 is for browser version (8190 coins).
Happy treasure hunt.

lol for you, yes. Crossing my fingers and toes I get at least half your luck, but I got zip in my first round of videos.

250 gems in box 17, lower right hand corner.

Not even gonna bother with dragon. Just need gems and legend essences. Lol

For all who did not start walking...I found a cheaper way. I will draw new maps tonight. Ir will save 150 coins for those who have to open all purple chests.

I got the 5000 in my first round of videos as well🥳 Thank you for sharing the map you worked on I have noticed that The Devs and SP have been listening to us much more ever since they removed the limit on habitats a while ago. I understand the need for profits, yet I truly believe they are beginning to balance it with the need for the players to enjoy the game by gaining dragons and food and gems. So... Please bring back the surveys AND, I need another new island How about a cool Valentine's Island or St. Patrick's Day or maybe even let the players vote. I like collecting a displaying and I probably will have to keep all the breedables in the Dragonarium. Hey! Maybe you could roll out a Heroic habitat with a Heroic island!!!

Got 250 gems early. Time to get some pieces and pearls

Wow. Y'all move fast. Been taking it easy this week cause the last events burned me out. Lol.

With the 5175 coins I got from rewards island I have been able to open all but the upper left cluster of purples. With the coins I get from the remaining collections & I hope more coins from rewards, I should be able to open the rest of the purples.

Do we know how many pearls are needed for Nessie?

New map for mobile is up. Browser did not change.

ty ty ty @bettina-löffler for the updated mobile map ... much appreciated !!

My baby account's number is definitely not 3. Lol. Gonna be a long 3 days. Lol

@Bettina-Löffler Thank you so much for the map!

I've got my 250 gems on the 13° purple floor.
Still deciding which dragon I want to go for it with the rest of the event, still didn't get the 5k tokens from frisbies tho

@bettina-löffler Well, I finally got my gems on Purple box 33. I only have 20 Kraken orbs, though. Do we know how many orbs we should be finding in the purple boxes? Or, are some of those Kraken orbs in other boxes?

Found my gems in box #14 but still no 5k coins.... SP is not going to start my new year off right, are they?

I finally got the 250 gems with only 6 purple squares left. I think that makes it purple square #33. I was using Bettina's original map. Using the revised map it would have been square #3. No problem though because of the 5000 coins I got from the Flying TV.

PUH-LEEEZ ... SP ... run off some of other DM’s luck to @DragonLove ... PUH-LEEEEZ ????

Check this:

@dragonista The treasure is not in a fixed place. If your number was 33, you would always have to open 33 chests on purple fields. No matter which way you take.

@captainmarvel said in ***Deep Sea Island Dec 30 - Jan 2***:

Kraken orbs should only be in boxes on purple fields. I dont know how many are there.

Surprisingly not too painful. My numbers were 12 and 13.

My magic number was 16

@bettina-löffler Thanks, I need to pay more attention to the pop-ups. There are so many that I tend to rush through them.

how many orbs are there of each? is there a chance to get a full dragon?

@apoli said in ***Deep Sea Island Dec 30 - Jan 2***:

We dont know that.

Got the 250 Gems!

Decided to finish the path and ended up getting to the 2nd-to-last chest following the Mobile path.

I got the gems from the very last chest on purple fields.

Got my chest. I bought the following with my gems:

• Breeding Tree
• Upgraded Hatchery to level 4
• A few spins on the race

I kept track of all my winnings from this event.
gems 250
gold 9,080,000
food 2,844,000
pearls 190
essence 28
orbs Aquaking 25
Kraken 10
Aquamarine 20
Double Sea 30

I collected enough pearls to get a reward but I'm not sure if I received it. A window came up saying that I qualified for a reward but when I tried to open it the game crashed. When I opened the game again I did get a round pink box to open which contained 2 skins & 1,033,000 food. Don't know if that was the 150 pearl award or just some random pink box that we get occasionally.

Did anyone else get a reward for collecting 150 pearls? It could be that something went to storage but I don't know what to look for.

@dragonista That was the reward for the new year. The 1m food you've got must be scaled to the level of the player because I recieved way less.

This below is the reward for the 150 pearls.

• 2 joker orbs of each rarity (except heroic)
• 2 trade essences of each rarity (except heroic)
• 20 to 40 random element tokens x4
• food scaling to player's level

Ps.: I tried to put screenshots but was flagged as spam, so not posting them

With the 5k coins I was able to collect all but 3 of the pieces for Nyami, so you know me, I spent $2 to get the coins to collect the 3 missing pieces because I was soooooo close. As to the pearls I now have 130 more pieces of junk in my storage. One day I am going to start selling all those things.

@dragonista Check your storage for the reward chest. It should be there.

I did the same spent £1.99, on a small pack, got Nyami and also ended with exactly 150 pearls so got the gift. I went for all the 75 and 100 coin boxes to get more boxes

@kevin-n-scott said in ***Deep Sea Island Dec 30 - Jan 2***:

100 coin boxes to get more boxes

The 100 coin boxes had the largest amount of food.

@bettina-löffler I checked that earlier & just checked again - no chest in storage.
