Currencies

There are three different currencies (things you spend) in this game:

* energy
* gold
* gems

## Energy

Energy is the most precious currency in the game. It is necessary to remove obstacles, depending on their size, and to explore every island.

There are many ways to gain energy:

* Logging in with Facebook can get 100 extra energy points the first time;
* Waiting for 90 seconds to recover 1 energy (40 energy in 1 hour);
* Leveling up recovers energy up to your limit and increases it by 1;
* Daily rewards: they vary but at least thrice a week you can grab some extra energy if you access every day;
* Some of the quests on every island give energy as reward;
* Energy Exchangers using chocolate or fruit in the home island or pots in the other islands;
* Get energy over time with rewarded decorations from events themed islands, like the Tea Maker and BBQ Grill, and from event islands
* Pet Dragon Slots and Pet Dragon Gifts in the home island;
* Removing some obstacles and picking up treasures, chests and bags in the islands;
* Gathering resources and finding candies;
* Tapping on some decorations during the exploration of the islands or on the buildings after building them;
* Clearing fruit trees by fully depleting them gives chocolate to exchange for energy when they become gold;
* Fulfilling 10 orders on the order board or special orders on the order board;
* Completing rows of boxes at the helicopter;
* Completing collections;
* Watch ads on the package offers panel or by tapping pop up balloons, backpacks and drones;
* Purchase energy in exchange for gems, but is not recommended because gems are useful for other things (if you want to do it, aim for 190 gems > 1000 energies, which is the most convenient trade);
* System messages in the Inbox (gear icon in the upper right part of the display): sometimes the game sends free gifts;
* Gift Codes: at least once a week the game developers give a code with free gifts (originally posted on Facebook);
* After joining a club, you can send a package of 10 energy once a day and you can receive them from other club members;
* Selecting energy or candies and collecting them in the Future Rewards Ship.

Ads and pop up balloons appear from time to time when accessing the game or changing island: they give you some candy, gold or petals. They also appear after completing a quest, so try to gather them before it and then new ones will appear.
