This is how the Desert crypt looks in the Watchtower's Crypts and Arenas list. The Watchtower filters by rarity and level but not by crypt type, so you pick it out by its picture.

Royal Griffin Hide also turns up in Rare and Epic crypts, but the Desert crypt is where it comes from every time. Common crypts go up to level 25, so that is the highest level to farm it at.

Let a bot run these crypts

Its Explore specific crypts only option sends your captains only to the crypts you tick, like the Desert crypt, and skips the rest of the list. TB Crypt Auto-Explorer is a Chrome extension that runs the crypt loop for you: it sets the Watchtower filter, sends Carter (or three captains at once), speeds up the march with your own speedups and sends him out again the moment he's home. It never buys Tar or anything else.

Bots are against Total Battle's rules, so using one is at your own risk.
