1. Chests that you earn are opened for rewards ranging from simple coins and food up to expensive resources and puzzle pieces for the Jungle Collection pets.
2. Each delivery earns you potion bottles and native coins. The potion bottles fill the reward totem meter on the left of the hut window, and the native coins can be spent in the teepee shop on decorative items that earn you either coins or experience points.
3. Filling the totem meter on the left earns you rewards of coins, native coins, gems, and puzzle pieces for the Monkey in the Jungle Collection.
The hut seems complicated at first, but it's really not. First of all, just click on the delivery hut in the lower left corner of your screen. It cannot be moved, so it will be in the same place on everyone's island:
Once inside, you will see a lot of things. There are 4 slots at the bottom, those are where the chests will go. First, you need to look to see what items your delivery is requesting. This can be any item, up to 4 different things, in random amounts. The types of items and the number requested has nothing to do with what type of chest you will get as a reward - it's all determined by a random generator. In this case, the delivery I'm being asked for is 2 fragments, 20 bullets, and 15 bamboo. The game will never ask you for an item that you do not have access to yet. You will also notice above the delivery items that there is a countdown timer. Each delivery request is only good for 6 hours. If you do not send the items within 6 hours, the request will swap over to a new set of items. If you don't want to do the delivery that's shown, you can either let the time run out or you can click the yellow circle button and pay gems to change the items to a new set. There is no guarantee that the next delivery request will be any easier, so it's better not to spend your gems on a delivery refresh.
(One of the VIP bonuses that is available is the ability to change out one or more deliveries per day for free. You can earn this bonus by making gem purchases with real money in the game.)
Since there is an empty slot at the bottom of the hut window, if I make the delivery listed above, it will fill that slot with one of three chests:
Wooden: takes 3 hours to open - ONLY contains coins and food, and occasionally a red panda or panther puzzle piece.
Gold: takes 8 hours to open - contains coins, and usually small amounts of two medium-level resources like irite, ore, water, etc. Occasionally contains a red panda or panther puzzle piece.
Purple: takes 12 hours to open and contains coins, and high level resources like axes, dynamite, etc. and usually (but NOT always) contains a red panda or panther puzzle piece. Sometimes they will contain two puzzle pieces.
Once you have one or more chests in the bottom slots, you need to choose one to open. Only one at a time can be opened. During the day, if you can actively play, it's better to open 3 or 8 hour chests, and save the 12 hour ones for overnight,
Now look at the rewards section in the middle... in the picture, you'll see that my delivery will reward me with 9 potion bottles, 28 native coins, and 1 random chest in the slot below. The potion bottles are essentially "points" that are added to the totem on the left. You will not see them anywhere in the game, such as the warehouse... they are just points added to the totem. If you do not have a chest slot open, you will only see a potion bottle number and a native coin number. You cannot receive a chest if all 4 slots are filled when you send a delivery. The amount of potion bottles and native coins is different for each delivery, but generally are in the range of 7-11 potions and 25-30 native coins.
The left side of the screen is called your totem, or your meter, and you have to fill it to earn the rewards listed. In the early days, before you earn your monkey, the totem will have puzzle pieces for it. Generally, from top to bottom, the rewards will be a gem, a monkey puzzle piece, some coins, then another monkey puzzle piece at the top. Once you earn all the monkey pieces, the rewards will be as shown in my pictures.
If you look closely, you will see that the bottom 3 rewards have a line next to the picture of the reward. When your meter hits that line, you earn that reward and it immediately goes to the appropriate place. To earn the top reward, you have to fill the meter completely. Your next reward will also flash gently, so you know which one is next.
Below the meter is a picture of the potion bottles and # / # count. The first number is how many potion bottles you have earned all total during your time doing deliveries, and the second number is how many you need all total to reach the top of the meter.
See below for a potion count for each level. (Bottom of the page)
When you first start doing deliveries, the 4 "eyes" at the top of the totem are unlit and empty. Each trip to the top of the meter will add one light until all four are lit. These "eyes" mean nothing, there are no rewards for filling them. Just ignore them.
The puzzle pieces for the monkey are ONLY earned by filling the totem meter, while the red panda and panther pieces can ONLY be found by opening chests.
Special tip: If you get sacred leaves in your delivery request, you do not have to pick them from the sacred trees. Gather all your other supplies in the delivery, and when you're ready to send it, go ahead and click "Send". It will tell you that you don't have enough and then offer to "sell" the leaves to you for 0 (yes, zero) gems. Accept the offer, and it will fill in the missing leaves for you free of charge, and send the delivery. This is not a glitch, it is an official work-around for some players who do not have sacred trees, and we all benefit from it.
There is no "right" or "wrong" way to do deliveries, but generally speaking, most people find the most success with only sending deliveries when a slot is open at the bottom. If you send a delivery when all slots are filled, you DO get the potion bottles and the native coins listed, which means that your totem meter does go up. But you lose the chance at earning a puzzle piece from the chest if you send a delivery with no chest slot open. Ultimately, the decision is up to you.
There is one other way to earn potion bottles to fill the meter a tiny bit faster without having to do deliveries. The eagle statue and moon statue from the teepee shop can be purchased with native coins, and they spit out potion bottles every few hours and are added to your totem meter.
In addition to the regular deliveries, about once a month, there is a Festival of Deliveries. (Here is the one from February 2017.) During a Festival, you will still be able to earn regular chests, but you also get the special festival chests which give you the points and rewards specific to that Festival. During a Festival, you will notice that you only have one totem meter item showing underneath the festival chest slot. Don't worry, all your regular rewards are still present... there just isn't room to show all of them, so it only shows the most recent one that you are working toward. If you complete that totem reward, the meter will change to show you the next thing from your regular meter.
Level 1 totem: 60 potions
Level 2: 450
Level 3: 1250
Level 4: 2250
Each level from 4 and up increases by 1000 potions. Add a "2" to the value of the thousands place, and that will tell you what level you're on even when all the eyes re filled up. For example, right now my meter needs 10,250 to be filled completely, so that means I'm on my 12th fill of the totem.
