[b]Progenitor dragons are special. They are the only dragons that:[/b] [LIST] [*][b]Cannot be traded[/b] [*][b]Do not award treasure or gems when Exalted[/b] [*][b]Do not count towards Dominance when Exalted[/b] [/LIST] [br][br] [b][size=4]How do I feed my dragons?[/size][/b] Dragons need to eat. Without food, their energy will drop and you won’t be able to breed them or [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/coliseum][b]battle in Coliseum[/b][/url] with them. [b]To feed them, you need to convert your gathered food items to food points:[/b] [LIST] [*][b]Navigate to the Food tab in your Hoard[/b] [*][b]The TYPE of food is indicated in the upper right corner of the item thumbnail[/b] [*][b]Select the food item[/b] [*][b]Click ‘CONVERT’ at the bottom of the page[/b] [/LIST] You now have food points and can feed your dragons! [br][br] [b][size=4]How do I breed my dragons?[/size][/b] Go to your [b]Nesting Grounds[/b], select ‘[b]Breed[/b]’ and choose two dragons from the drop down menu. After you’ve selected your dragons and bred them, click ‘[b]Incubate[/b].’ [b]After five incubation periods[/b], you will be able to hatch your nest. An incubation period is [i]not[/i] when you click to incubate. [b]You will need to incubate your nest five (5) times and then the nest can be hatched the next day (after rollover). [/b] If you can’t breed your dragons, there are a few possible reasons why: [LIST] [*][b]The dragons are on cooldown[/b] [*][b]A dragon is eligible to breed when the egg symbol does not have a strike through it[/b] [*][b]The dragons do not have enough energy[/b] [*][b]The dragons are related, within five generations[/b] [/LIST] If the above conditions do not apply to the dragon you are unable to breed, you may have a rare sterile dragon. Please send our Support staff a message through [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/site/contact-us][b]Contact Us[/b][/url] with the dragon’s ID#. Unfortunately we do not have a workaround or fix for this bug but the information you provide will help with our continued investigation. [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=8]You can read more on breeding dragons here in our Encyclopedia.[/url][/b] [br][br] [b][size=4]What is Exalting? What is Dominance?[/size][/b] [b]Lore:[/b] When a dragon is Exalted, they are sent to serve their Deity. This service brings great honor and distinction to their Clan. Duties for Exalted dragons vary: day to day care of the realm, personal assistance to the Deity, preparing for battle with the Shade or Beastclans. When a Dragon leaves their Clan to serve their Deity, they leave behind a sum of riches based on their experience and growth in Sornieth. [b]Mechanic:[/b] The dragon population of [i]Flight Rising[/i] grows exponentially and Exaltation is how dragons leave the system permanently. When a dragon is Exalted, the player receives treasure and gems based on their level in the [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/coliseum]Coliseum[/url][/b] and any applicable Daily Bonuses. The Flight that Exalts the most dragons in a one week period is awarded with [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/dominance]Dominance[/url][/b]. [b]Note: A dragon cannot battle in the Coliseum if they are unnamed or too low on energy.[/b] [br][br] ----- [br][br] [b][size=5]Gameplay - General[/size][/b] [br][br] [b][size=4]What is Gathering?[/size][/b] Gathering is how Clans find food, items, treasure, and sometimes new dragons! A few notes about Gathering: [LIST] [*][b]Gathering caps at level 25[/b] [*][b]Food gathered are deposited into the Food tab of your Hoard[/b] [*][b]Food gathered is not immediately available as food points[/b] [/LIST] [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=16]You can read more about Gathering here in our Encyclopedia.[/url][/b] [br][br] [b][size=4]What are Familiars? What can I do with them?[/size][/b] Familiars are creatures and animals from various parts of Sornieth. You can bond with Familiars and earn daily rewards. [b]Please note: If you have more than one of a specific Familiar, only one will show in the Familiars box when adding one to your dragon. Your Clan bonds with Familiars by TYPES not individuals.[/b] Example: If you have [b]three Downy Fox Rats[/b], you will only be able to bond with [b]ONE copy[/b] of the Downy Fox Rat. [br][br] [b][size=4]What can I do if I have multiples of the same Familiar type?[/size][/b] With duplicates of the same type, you can gift them to other players, sell them on the [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/auction-house]Auction House[/url][/b], or even sell them straight from your Hoard. Familiars can also be traded with [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=tradepost&lot=swap]Swipp[/url][/b] and [b][url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=tradepost&lot=collection]Crim[/url][/b] for different items, treasure or reduced in [b][url=http://www1.flightrising.com/trading/baldwin]Baldwin[/url][/b]’s pot for crafting reagents!
