Oh, no... The enormity of Flight Rising and its gameplay options (and accessorization) can be daunting, especially when finding your perfect dragons can cost exorbitant amounts. It can be disheartening to see veterans of the game tossing around loads of treasure, while you're cramming pennies into your pocket to buy a new hat. But be not afraid! Those veterans are here to help, and treasure isn't as difficult to acquire as one might believe! [size=2][i]This is not a comprehensive guide for everything Flight Rising - it's just about how to make treasure, both now and in the future! Feel free to reply to the thread with questions, and refer to the FAQ if you get confused. Remember to read at your own pace, too![/i][/size] ----- [center][size=5]Basic Terms[/size] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/uhxdk0sjz/oops_fancy.png[/img] [b]kt[/b] Denotes one thousand treasure. For example, 5kt is 5,000 treasure. [b]AH[/b] Auction House. You can find it in the Shop tab! Players sell everything on the AH from food to dragons to rare items. [b]CR[/b] Crossroads. This is also under the Shop tab. It's a one-way and two-way trading system, one of the three direct item exchange methods on Flight Rising. The other two are Private Auction and PM attachments. [b]PA[/b] Private Auction. This is a part of the Auction House that lets you sell items and dragons to specific users. [b]Hoardselling[/b] Selling items directly from your Hoard using the 'Sell' button. It guarantees you a small, fixed amount of treasure. [b]Coli[/b] The Coliseum, found under the Play tab. You can train your dragons through battles here, and earn various items by defeating monsters. [b]Exalting[/b] A game mechanic that completely removes a dragon from the game for a small amount of treasure. This amount varies depending on the dragon's coliseum level. Exalting is a key component of Dominance. [b]Fodder[/b] Cheap dragons meant to be exalted. [b]Fodder Floor[/b] Average lowest price for dragons on the Auction House. Selling your dragons at this price almost guarantees that they will be exalted, but it also earns you money quickly. Never sell dragons for a lower price than the Fodder Floor! [b] [/center] [center][img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [i]*Important: You cannot sell or trade your progenitor dragons (the first two dragons you got at the beginning of the game). It is also advised that you do not exalt your progens, as they are one of a kind and you will not receive any treasure from exalting.*[/i]

[center][img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [size=6][u][b]Selling Items[/b][/u][/size] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/uhxdk0sjz/oops_fancy.png[/img] Throughout Flight Rising, you will earn items that will be kept and sorted for you in your Hoard. Viewing these items is as easy as clicking on the ‘Hoard’ tab on your navigation sidebar, under the ‘Clan’ section. If you hover over an item stack, a tooltip will appear giving the name of the item(s), a humorous blurb, and the item’s value. This value, marked in the bottom left corner of the tooltip, tells you how much treasure you can earn by “hoardselling” the item, or selling it straight from your hoard by marking its check box, selecting an amount from the drop-down list next to the check box, and clicking ‘sell’. You can also use the big check box on the bottom of the hoard menu to select all of the items in a section. However, you should only hoardsell if you have a lot of items that you don’t want to list on the Auction House. Generally, it is better to sell these items on the AH, so that you can sell them to other users for a much higher price. [b][u]When selling anything on the Auction House, be sure to search the name of the item you want to sell to find out how much other people are selling it for. Price it around the lowest average value, so that it sells quickly, and you aren’t underpricing your items/dragons.[/u][/b] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [/center]

[center][img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [center][b][u][size=6]The Trading Post[/size][/u][/b][/center] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/uhxdk0sjz/oops_fancy.png[/img] Visit the Trading Post every day, to earn free items and easy treasure there. We’ll go over three of the stands, but the other two (Swipp’s Swap Stand and Pinkerton’s Plundered Pile) are worth visiting, too. [center][b]Tomo’s Trivia Tablet[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] At this stand, you answer trivia questions covering everything from Flight Rising lore to Coliseum enemies. Each correct answer rewards you with 300 treasure, which means if you answer all questions right, you receive 3,000 treasure. A pretty penny! [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?board=gde&id=1128248&p=mb]This guide[/url] provides answers to every question. [center][b]Crim’s Collection Cart[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] Crim will offer treasure for items that you could otherwise hoardsell, including apparel and battle items. Her prices are significantly higher than those from hoardselling. She also has a new set of 4 to 5 offers available every hour, so checking in with her multiple times per day is a good idea. However, you always want to check the Auction House for whatever she’s listing, for two reasons. The first is that if the item is really cheap on the Auction House, but she’s offering a significant amount of treasure for it, you might want to buy it and sell it to her. Don’t worry, refreshing or leaving the page doesn’t change her offer, meaning you can, in fact, acquire the item and return to her with it! The other reason is that you don’t want to sell an item to her for a small amount of treasure is when it would go on the Auction House for significantly higher. The items you want to be most wary about are apparel and battle items, since these will usually sell for either a very high or very low price. [center][b]Baldwin’s Bubbling Brew[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] Baldwin is an alchemist, who allows you to use his cauldron to create alchemical materials, and then brew those materials into new items. The more brewing you do, the more experience you gain, and whenever you level up you unlock new and more complex recipes. Items yield specific types of material depending on their type, but the color (and corresponding quality/rarity) of the material is completely random. For example, you can throw in any food item and you will always get Goo, but the goo could be any color, regardless of the quality of the food item. [/center]

[center][img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [center][b][size=6][u]In Your Clan[/u][/size][/b][/center] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/uhxdk0sjz/oops_fancy.png[/img] There are a lot of things you can do in the Clan tab that will get you a lot of treasure, if you do it wisely. Here are some tips you can use during your clan’s daily life. [center][b]Gathering[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] Put your Gathering Turns to good use! The main way of collecting food for your dragons in Flight Rising is gathering, but if you get excess food, you can sell it as described above, instead of converting it into food points. But be careful - once you convert food into food points, you can’t get it back to sell it! If you’re not looking for food, you should definitely spend your turns Scavenging and Digging. Both of these get you materials and trinkets you can sell, but also sometimes give you something special! For example, Scavenging rarely yields Unhatched Eggs, which are SUPER valuable sold in the Auction House. If you go Digging during an elemental holiday, you can get chests! For example, during the Flameforger's Festival, you should go digging in the Fire flight, to get the Fire Flight’s elemental currency (Glowing Embers), as well as to get chests! You can open the chests to get skins, or sell them for profit, and the same goes for the elemental currencies - sell or spend, it’s your choice! [center][b]Selling Dragons[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] You can try to breed dragons and sell them on the AH to start, but you probably won’t make a ton of money this way. There are so many dragons on FR that doing something like running a hatchery isn’t very profitable when you consider the time and energy you would put into making it. So breed and sell dragons casually, not as your main way of making money long-term. Also, always check the lowest prices for dragons on the AH (aka fodder floor) when you sell them so you don’t underprice them. With that said, you can also breed Plentiful and Common dragons, which have a short breeding cooldown - such as your progenitors - as fodder, to sell them for around 7 or 8kt each as adults. Another option is to fodder-breed with the intent of exalting them yourself, but be sure to level them up if you’re going to do that. More on that a little later. You can also buy Hatchling fodder on the Auction House, wait for them to become adults, and then sell them at adult prices. [center][b]Familiars[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] Once you start to collect familiars, make sure to equip them. To do this, go to a dragon’s page and click the ‘Change’ button on the familiar window. This will allow you to attach a familiar to a dragon. You can bond with your familiars once a day to earn treasure, and chests every time you reach a new tier of connection. Before long, you will have more familiars than dragons, but there is an easy way to bond with more than one familiar using one dragon. Start by opening a dragon’s page in your browser tab, then open the ‘Choose Familiar’ page in another tab, generally by right-clicking on the button. Make sure you can see both tabs at once on your screen! Now, click Bond in the first tab, and before clicking ‘Okay’, switch out the familiar on the second tab. When you click ‘Okay’, another familiar will be there, ready to bond! Another tip about familiars- when you bond with them, you’re really bonding with the entire “species” of familiar. That means that, for example, if you have a Yellow-Throated Sparrowmouse and you sell or transmute it, if you get another Yellow-Throated Sparrowmouse it will be at the same level of bonding as the one you got rid of.[/center]

[center][img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [size=6][u][b]The ‘Play’ Column[/b][/u][/size] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/uhxdk0sjz/oops_fancy.png[/img] You can earn lots of treasure in the ‘Play’ column, where you can find the Fairgrounds, the Coliseum, and the Dominance tracker. We will focus on the first two. [b]The Fairgrounds[/b] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] The Fairgrounds are a good place to start making treasure. The games here are pretty fun, and award treasure for progressing through them. Other users have found that Artifracture awards treasure the most efficiently, though it’s only profitable compared to its difficulty up to Level 10, at which point you’ll have about 12kt. The only downside to the Fairgrounds is that there is a daily cap of 75kt, which means that’s the most you can earn in one day. Still, it’s a good place to start - that’s a lot of treasure for a new player! [center][b]The Coliseum[/b][/center] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] The Coliseum is both the most efficient and the most costly way for an average FR player to earn treasure and other items. With 3 Level 25 dragons, you can grind all but one of the Coliseum Venues with ease, as well as levelling up fodder to exalt it at a much higher payout than you would otherwise receive. Having a full team also allows you to grind for festival currency during Elemental Holidays, which you can trade for rare items or sell, as we mentioned earlier in the guide. It also gives you lots of items and familiars, which you can also sell. Having even one Lv 25 ‘trainer’ dragon (a dragon built for a specific venue to train other dragons up) will let you indulge in exalting and participate in Dominance, too. However, it takes a very long time to level a dragon to 25, and costs a lot of money to give a full team all the battlestones they will need. Don’t expect to use the Coliseum for any real profit until you fully understand Dominance and Exalting, but don’t be afraid to ask other users or look for guides to help that understanding. Many players use [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1040710]Culex’s Leveling Guide[/url] as an all-in-one basis for Coliseum grinding and levelling. It’s lengthy, but it contains a lot of useful information, so read it all when you get the chance. The coliseum is, without a doubt, the best long-term investment you can make to earn treasure in Flight Rising. However, it IS a significant investment of time, money, and research, especially without a trainer. Many players choose to utilize a [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/2241794/1]leveling service[/url], where another player trains some of your dragons up for a small fee. Using a leveling service has many benefits because it allows your dragons to be trained faster than you would be able to yourself, as a newbie. If you’d rather try it yourself, however, most flights have a service for renting out Level 25 dragons to train or grind with. Also, the Coliseum can get quite boring, so I recommend either listening to music in the background, or opening a different tab and watching Youtube/Netflix while you farm or train. For the latter, simply resize both tabs so they fit on your screen at once.[/center]

[center][img]https://s1.postimg.org/u6fx79c3z/oops_long_n_fancy.png[/img] [size=6][u][b]Miscellaneous Tips[/b][/u][/size] [img]https://s1.postimg.org/uhxdk0sjz/oops_fancy.png[/img] There are other ways to earn treasure on Flight Rising, all of which are worth noting. Here, we have gathered the rest of our tips. [b]Art & Other Services[/b] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] If you’re a skilled and patient artist or writer, you could consider taking up art on Flight Rising. Art is one of the most efficient ways of earning all kinds of currency on FR, from treasure and gems to rare items you want, and artists are always in demand. However, commissions take time and patience, and setting up an appealing art shop can be difficult. The editor and graphic artist for this guide, Lumi, has an art shop [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/art/2228319]here[/url] that serves as a good example of how to set up your art shop and what you might offer. Be sure to never offer things you aren’t willing to draw, and to never be shy about raising your prices if you feel you’re putting more in than you’re getting out. The most popular art shops also have graphics. Graphic artists are in even higher demand than illustrators, since the formatting of a forum post can make or break its productivity. If you want to take a stab at graphics, you should, but they can be extremely intimidating. Fortunately, Lumi offers graphic services for all kinds of threads at a very low price with new-player discounts, and they’re always excited to meet new affiliates (artists who support and advertise each other for mutual benefit). If you’re interested in opening an art shop, [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=lair&tab=userpage&id=317545]contact them[/url] with any questions you might have! [b]Finding Gems[/b] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] If you don’t have access to or don’t want to spend IRL money on gems, there are many ways to acquire them. Flight Rising itself only offers gems in small amounts, from chests or by keeping your dragons well-fed for over three consecutive days, but you’ll be saving up for something you need gems for for a long time that way. Alternative methods are to sell things on the Auction House for gems instead of treasure, or to trade treasure for gems with other players through the Forums. Gem conversion rates vary with supply and demand, as well as from trader to trader, since it’s set by the players and not the staff. For an example of a gem sale/buy thread, [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/2243875]go here![/url] [b]Other Tips[/b] [img]https://s20.postimg.org/xh3v5g159/oops_small.png[/img] Some items that you may find should be kept for Swipp’s Swap Stand (in the Trading Post) and Baldwin, and NOT sold on the AH or by hoardselling (unless you are completely uninterested in the items that they create/can be traded for). There is a guide [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1504097]here[/url] on what to keep. Don’t be afraid to use the forums, especially the Help Forums! The FR community is very welcoming towards new players (as you can probably tell by this guide), and no question is a bad question. We were all new at some point! :) And lastly, remember to have fun! Flight Rising can be a bit complicated at first, but take your time exploring the different features of the site. Pretty soon, you’ll get the hang of it and develop your own style of playing. I hope you found this guide to making treasure helpful!

open! :D

wow. I could have used this when I was a new player. @PPixelNinja216 you did a wonderful job on this guide. Do you have a button I could put in my sig?

@zzzhorses I do! Here it is. :) [code][center][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/2248679/1][img]https://s20.postimg.org/wmiqt2klp/treasure_tips.gif[/img][/url][/center][/code]
