Statues are a special type of decoration that have special effects that change gameplay! Contrary to normal decorations, Statues provide special boosts to aid you throughout your adventures on Berk (such as boosting gathering rates, hatching dragons faster, and even preventing opponent evasion in Brawl matches). They can still be moved and placed anywhere there is free space on your Berk.
Statues can be stored in the Treasure Hoard just like normal Decorations. However, storing them in the Treasure Hoard will disable their boost/perk while stored. The boost will only be active while the Statue is placed on your Berk. To view a Statue's boost/perk, you may simply tap to select it to bring up its information on the left side of the screen.
Statues are primarily obtained through the Berk Market, under the Statues tab. To purchase Statues, you require Polished Amber. Polished Amber can be obtained by trading Raw Amber for it over at Eret's Boat. To view a Statue's effect/perk before purchasing, you can press on the "i" button next to the Statue's name. Keep in mind that the effect shown is at MAX level.

If you no longer wish to have a Statue, you can destroy it by tapping the Statue to select it and choosing the option "Destroy" on the left. Note that this action is irreversible, so be sure to give it some thought!
Note: If your fish/wood strages are full, when gathering resources from the Gather All Statue, the excess resources will be lost!
