They're not even my worst one!
I've had another scatter
203 times before I got colors that worked :3
The thing about old dragons is that they literally can't be born any more. IDs are one-of-a-kind, and because so many 2013 have been exalted, and sadly still exalted today, they're very limited. This thus makes them valuable in the eyes of many, because to us, these old dragons have a little bit of Flight Rising's history with them.
Where pretty color combos can be hatched today, old dragons no longer can
Where pretty g1s can be hatched today, old
g1s cannot.
This exclusivity makes them so desirable :3
And as for how I got so many gems, a lot of it comes from a crap ton of hard work alongside spending RL currency on FR (which I haven't done in a few months)! Before I burnt myself out on artwork, I could get anywhere from 1kg to 40kg+ on commissions easily within a few weeks. Then the fact I started collecting old dragons when the concept was still new, so these dragons were very cheap
And now, three years later, their value has grown exponentially which leads to a
lot of profit. A dragon bought for 300kt I sold for 6kg about a month back for example~
And last is off-site trading. Lots of grinding and playing on other games and thus trading those items for FR ones. I sold one of my Waja accounts that was
7 years old for approximately 100kg ahaha.
So it's really a lot of patience and hard work to get there v3v/
