How to unlock the Viking Gold achievement in How to Train Your Dragon - Definitive Guide
Challenges are the best way to accumulate the gold you need for this achievement.
A couple things to keep in mind:
Try to purchase as little as possible until you have your 10,000 gold and unlock the "Viking Gold" achievement.
After you collect the 10,000 gold, go and save your game.
Now go to the store and purchase all the recipes to get the "Cooking Master" achievement.
If you want to keep the recipes, go and save your game again. If you don't care about the recipes, purchase every ingredient you can from the store - especially the rare ones.
Return to your house and enter, but DON'T SAVE - just exit back out to the village. This will restock the store.
Go and purchase everything you can again. Repeat this procedure until you spend 10,000 gold and unlock the "Shopping Master" achievement.
Now reload your game and you will have all of your gold back.
The reason you want to do this is because after the end of the story mode, you need to go to the viking in the Wild Zone and fight his Legendary dragons. This costs money. A LOT of money. Doing this now will save you hours of playing challenges to accumulate enough gold to level up your dragons the final three levels from 22 to 25.
For this trophy, you have to have 10,000 gold at one time in the bank. You get money from completing tournaments and completing challenges. You never need to, and therefore never should, spend any money on anything in the shop. You will, however, need to spend money to play some of the Wild Fights, but you should hold off on playing those until after you get this trophy.
As long as you don’t spend any of your money, you should have over 10,000 in the bank easily after you’ve cleared the final tournament. If not, go farm some cash in the Wild Zone challenges. Once you’ve acquired 10,000 in the bank the trophy should pop. At this point, you should save your game. Afterwards, go the shop and buy everything available, in particular, the recipes. This will net you the ''Cooking Master'' trophy.
Most likely, you haven’t spent 10,000 gold yet, so you’ll need to go back to your home and then back out to the shop so that more items can respawn there. Keep buying items at the shop until you’ve spent 10,000 gold and you unlock the ''Shopping Master'' trophy. Now reload you’re save file from before so you have all your gold back and you can use it for the Wild Fights.
We go to the store, buy all the recipes to get the "Cooking Master" trophy, and then buy everything that is on the shelves (rare items are more expensive, but there are few of them). We go to any other location (home, or to dragon training) and return. The main thing is not to save! We still need money for Wild Fight's!!!
