Ads Chests in the Wilderness
Hello, fellow Dragon Riders!
I found out about the ads chest few weeks ago.
I saw there was no article yet on the Wiki, so I thought I’d do one here.
By the way, if someone from the Wiki wants to use this subject and its screenshots to complete the Wiki, they can. The info is from the game, and I did what I could to anonymize the screenshots, so there’s no need to edit them. As there're here to help and be sort sort of manual, I don’t consider these screenshots as art that would need you to credit me, feel free to use them on the SoD Wiki
I've had those chests everywhere since snoggletog. Or from last year? I can't remember. I just have them for very long time now. Mostly I get stables out of em XD
Thanks for mapping the locations for these. I think they can be found in other places around school but I haven't seen any in a while.
I don't think it works on tablets. I have never seen one of these before.
It should work on phones. I'm playing on it and I have those chests everywhere I go .
It works on tablets- I've gotten one in the Training Grounds near Astrid.
Are you sure this isn't a mobile exlusive thing? Because typically free stuff from wtahcing adds only occurs on mobile platforms
Like the ads you can watch every hour, it's mobile exclusive
Hi! I can add to this. I see these all the time on my phone, not just in the Wilderness. They're all over the place. I've even found one on Zippleback island, if I remember right. So that's one thing. Also, I can attest that it is possible to find them on tablets, as my brother plays on a Lenovo and has found a few. And I can add "Thunderdrum" to the list of dragon eggs. They're a great way to get stables!
There are more locations in the four different areas of that island where the wilderness and all that are on:
Training grounds:
-Next to Astrid where the racing tower is.
-Next to the flight club building.
-Next to the boat on the dock (the very right comming down the stairs)
-The very left side of the docks (comming down the stairs)
The School:
-On one side behind Heathers lab (go towards it comming from the fishing pond)
-Next to the camp fire at the fishing pond
-In front of the slope leading to the enterance to The Lookout.
The Lookout:
-In front of the Greenhouse
-On the beach whith the viking student (He will always give you a quest to talk to Hiccup about the scientific process) (the chest is where the rocks are towards the ocean)
-On the other beach across from that one (there will be a ceiling of rock)
Now these chest can most certainly be found on other islands, but I tend to go here because it is easiest for me. These chests are found in the same places where the coin chests are, so keep that in mind. If you ever find a blue coin chest, come back there another time to find a video chest
These chests can only be found if you have a phone, tablet, or chromebook. It will not work if you are on a computer (Chromebooks don't count because they kind of act like tablets). If you find one do not hesitate to open it. I have gotten a bunch of eggs from them (kind of worthless because I already have them. They only give Nadders, Zipplebacks, Gronkles, Nightmares, Whispering d.eaths, and Thunderdrums) and two stables. You are most likely to get basic farm items and fish though. I actually got a composter from it once, even an advanced fishing rod.
There's a few spots you missed:
Training Grounds
- to the left of TRR, it's near the wall by the big fire (you'll have to fly a ways to get there)
The School
- coming out of the hatchery, it's on the right side near the Great Hall building
- down the stairs from the fishing pond and near the big fire
- in front of the school, on the left side of the Hall building (if you're facing away from the map)
The Lookout
- on the ledge near the telescope
Just in case it wasn't mentioned, there is always one, and only one, coin or ad chest for each time you enter an area. This means that if you, say, enter the lookout and there's a chest in front of the greenhouse, that will be the only coin/ad chest in the lookout UNLESS you leave the lookout (by entering eel roast, going to a different area, etc.). If you don't see one after checking all the spots, you likely just skipped over it or something. It will be there.
Anyway, hope this helps. Stay safe and have a great week everyone!
What do you mean by TRR?
TRR is the abbreviation for Thunder Run Racing.
Yeah i just found that chest. There is a gem chest on the farthest one
thanks for the extra spots! But I just wanna point out that your last thing with there only being one chest is not true. Or not anymore at least :)
Proof:
An ad chest and a blue coin chest right next to each other. iPad, Lookout under the starting point at the left side of the map (it has been marked with a red dot on OP's images further down in this thread).
And also: I think maybe the game doesn't care where the chests are, as long as you haven't reached the daily max of ad chests. I got an ad chest at the Lookout. Went to the School and back to Lookout and got another ad chest! But couldn't find any more after opening 5 chests, no matter where I looked.
Before I knew about the ad chests (I always play on computer), I felt that often I could find ONE coin chest and ONE gem chest - so maximum one of each every place I went. And sometimes none at all (I looked everywhere, so sometimes it saves time just to reload that area without looking everywhere). And now on iPad I think also maybe just one of each and maybe limited to 2 chests per area? I don't know that yet though..
AND another thing: the coins chests are definitely worth it too, as coins are easy to grind. Just got 3 eggs in like 30 minutes (2 Zipplebacks from 200 chests, and a Typhoomerang from a 72 chest) - so also get those !!
they are everywhere. i have found a lot, but never thought to open them.
thank you for telling me that they give you eggs and stables.
Thank you for putting so much effort into this! It's very helpful.
Tracking!
I can't find any of the chests atm, which I'm assuming is because it's Snoggletog. Once the event ends I'll be on the lookout for these. Thank you everyone who put effort into this!
Bugger! Didn't load the whole message... I'll write it back...
