How does Runner Island work?

Runner island is a mini-game where you spend Runner tokens to complete a side-scrolling mini-game. On each run, you want to collect as many pinwheels as possible, but there are other rewards to collect along the way too!. The mini-game plays like a sideways version of the popular app subway surfers. Swipe up and down to change lanes, and tap the screen to jump over smaller obstacles.

How to get Runner Tokens

Every 8 hours, there are new missions to complete on the island. Completing these tasks will reward you with Runner tokens you can use to make more runs in the minigame. The missions are very similar to those found in the heroic Race!

My Runner Island is really laggy! !

Unfortunately, Runner island has some performance issues on older phones. Your best bet is to borrow someone else’s phone if you are experiencing really bad issues (I used to have these problems too, before upgrading phones)

Best way to collect gold for Runner Island tasks?

The best way to collect gold is by having more habitats. Each time you collect gold, you have a chance to collect an item! You also have a higher chance to collect gold when your habitat is full of gold. This is visible when the gold icon is no longer see-through. Collecting gold is one of the easiest items to collect for the Runner island. Having more habitats = more chances to get items from collecting gold.
Another way to quickly increase the amount of gold you can collect is to power up your dragons. You can save your powerups for the tasks in the Runner Island that require you to power up dragons. But it would be best if you prioritized dragons that give the most gold per minute (Note that once a dragon's level increases above level 10 - the increase in gold/level halves), your rarest dragons usually will pay the most gold per minute.
You can also try and focus on getting as many terra habitats as possible, but it is not the best long-term strategy because it's not great once the Runner Island event ends!

Best way to collect food for Runner Island tasks?

The best way to collect food is by buying the cheapest option over and over again. Each time you collect food, you can have a chance to collect an item, so buy the 50 gold option in every food farm and do it fastest! You have a higher chance of getting items the more food purchased, but the bigger foods take much longer to grow and claim. That's why it's always advised to use the 50 gold option called "Backyard Garderner". Collecting food more often = more chances to get items from collecting food.
If you still really want to grow large food options, then maybe consider buying one costly food option that takes 9, 12, or 24 hours. Meanwhile, you can use every other farm for cycling the 50 gold food collection.

Best way to breed dragons for Runner Island tasks?

The best way to breed dragons is to use Terra + Terra. It may take many tries and failed attempts, but it's the quickest way to get multiple items. Once you've bred the Terra + Terra dragons
- You can sell the egg after hatch time (if you don't need hatching items)
- Or place them on Terra habitats. They can be powered up later too.
For each item, expect to breed up to 30-40 times. It takes a lot of attempts! The alternative is to use the slower way with long breeds to guarantee an item, but other players might overtake you while you do this.
Long-term goal: Try to unlock the three available breeding areas when they become available via gems from completing rewards/surveys (this can take a long time - or you could spend money, but that is not a great use of money). Breeding more often = more chances to get items from breeding.
If you manage to unlock all of the breeding buildings, and all slots on the hatchery, place them all near each other (this will be near the second island due to the breeding sanctuary)

Best way to hatch dragons for Runner Island tasks?

The best way to hatch dragons is to use Terra + Terra that you've bred. Again, it will take many tries and failed attempts, but it's the quickest way to get multiple items.
For each item, expect to hatch up to 30-40 times. It takes a lot of attempts. Otherwise, the slower way is to use other long eggs to guarantee an item, but other players might overtake you.
Try to unlock the three available breeding areas AND upgraded hatchery (5 eggs at once) when they become available.
If you manage to unlock all of the breeding buildings and all slots on the hatchery, place them all near each other (this will be near the second island due to the breeding sanctuary)

Best way to feed dragons for Runner Island?

The best way to optimize this event is to save a bunch of low-level dragons specifically for these tasks.
If you pick dragons, you were already going to level up with food, then you can't go wrong! or if food is not an issue -
You could power up some low-level Terra dragons you hatched in the previous missions.
The lower the level of a dragon, the less food it costs - but it takes more luck to get items. I find powering up level 1 dragons to level 6 takes little food but can give 5-6 items.
One thing I do outside of these types of events is leaving all my newly acquired dragons at level 1 - and only power up dragons when the tasks for feeding appear in events! This is a great way to complete the task because these dragons needed powering up anyway.

Best way to Complete PVP League battles for Runner Island

The best way to complete PVP League battles for the Runner island race is to have fully powered up dragons and also make sure you have a full 3 charges always available to complete some League battles. Sometimes League Battles can be really hard, and other players have all empowered or heroic dragons teams at high levels. You have to decide if you want to reset your League battles or not - this will give you a fresh set of players to verse. However, it will not refresh your charges (only gems and beating everyone will refresh your battle limit).
You can also aim towards unlocking the 6th Dragon Tower (Winstance - 20%+ Life and Damage), which makes this task a little easier! Make sure you only complete the required number of League battles and not too many It could slow you down if you have to wait for your League counter to recharge
