Start: 675 coins + Collection: 600 coins every 8 hours = 6075 coins in total.
Plus additional coins from Dragon TV. Hopeully we will get a quest also.
For collecting times check this.
New dragon: Lucky Dragon #1280.
We also can get 250 gems from a treasure chest.
We can also get other rewards for collecting shamrocks 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. Who can, should skip the tutorial .
The chests contain:
Orange fields: Orbs of Clover #217,
Green fields: Orbs of Grove #989,
Purple fields: Orbs of Goofy #721, 250 gems.
Not coloured fields: Orbs of Prowling #1159.
All chests can also hold gold, food and essences.
Not each chest holds dragon orbs.
Happy treasure hunt.

ty ty ty for info and map @Bettina-Löffler ... much appreciated

Wow! Wow! Wow! Look what I got on my FIRST purple chest!)

Maybe my luck is finally coming back!
Now, to get a successful breeding on a breeding event...

Was sitting here bored, so I decided to start moving. Imagine my surprise when I got the gems on the 1rst chest, this makes up for missing them on the last one.

5th purple chest. Not bad at all this time

In order to get the gems, did y'all move using the map above, finding the chest on the grid's left side?

Using the map, yes. Left or right side, as Bettina stated it does not matter. For each player your number of boxes is assigned, so no matter where you start you have to open the specific amount of boxes in order to get to the gems.

18 boxes to get my gems

@nynaevelan do we know for sure that it's implemented as a set number of chests to open? As opposed to a set probability or something of that nature? Is it tested and repeatable that running in airplane mode reveals the same number of chests needed each time for a given player?

Got them on my 4th purple, they finished my 5th island AND got me my 6th.
Also how much gems does the 7th island cost?

Got 250 gems too on both accounts. After opening more than half of purple chest, I have 10/5 goofy orbs.

Is it possible to get the dragon for nowt?

Ok ok I'll do the math...

25 purple boxes was my magic number for the gems. Used them to purchase my last caged dragon.

@bettina-löffler I am following your path, and in my game, none of the tiles and chests have a purple/orange/green color. How did you figure out which tiles are purple? I am trying to learn.

Your maps are always so helpful.

@jaime-madachik I only marked them purple on my map. They are not purple in the game. I could have used other colors.

nr 28 for me.

What are the Shamrocks used for? How to use them?

@mark-s Collect 150 to get a surprise chest. Collect 300 to get a surprise + Shamrock Rider Dragon.

Got my 250 on my first purple chest and haven’t moved since. I can’t decide what to go for knowing I’ll only have about 6k for moves. Any suggestions? What’s everyone else going for?

im usually just going for the puple boxes anyway.

@taken I think the chests for 100 coins have the most food. I would go for these. Try it.

@bettina-löffler
Thanks. And a big thank you for always putting out these guides!

... 33 purple boxes and no gems yet ... 3 to go with last collection time ...

... wooHOOOOO !!!

with Dragon TV coins, able to continue and ... absolute LAST purple chest, but ... GOT IT !!!!!

@bettina-löffler Do the chests just appear after the event ends, or is there something I need to do to submit them? Because I still have a bunch of Carnival Coins and have no idea what I'm supposed to do with them.

i’ve got 136 shamrocks so not enough for the gift bag. is it possible to reuse them next year or something?

@glacianharpy Once you found the 250 gems just keep on opening chests for gold, food or orbs and shamrocks. If you want to go for food, I would suggest to open the onse for 100 coins. They hold the most food.

4th Chest & got 250 Gems!

No gems, no dragon, only 121 shamrocks so no prize for them. So this event wasn't very profitable for me.

I've got my 250 gems, but man, that was close, chest number 28 almost at the end.
Also, I barely made it to the special four-clover prize, just got exactly 150 four-clovers.

I got my 250 gems and had 148 shamrocks in the end.
