[center][size=5]Aarca's Quest for Stuff![/size]
It's the start of a new year, which means I want to get stuff done! I have gene projects to complete, familiars to collect, and chests to obtain!
I've got a lot of gene projects, which you can see in [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/1849563/165#post_21338940]this post[/url] I made a while ago. My total savings so far are...
[img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/icon_treasure.png[/img] 850,000 / 2,965,000
[img]http://www1.flightrising.com/static/layout/icon_gems.png[/img] 380 / 20,475
This year I want to complete my bestiary as much as possible. So far, I have 97/489 familiars.
I also want to save at least a hundred chests to open on my birthday in June! I don't have any yet, but I'm sure I'll get some by then.
I'm mostly going to post here to track my progress completing my crazy goals, but if you want to be added to a pinglist, you can ask. :3

[center][b]The Great Money Making Challenge[/b][/center]
Alright. I'm making this official, so I can't get out of it. I'm doing it.
[b]Rules:[/b]
[LIST]
[*]No opening anything. Not chests, openables, eggs, anything. All will be hoarded
[*]I can't spend ANY money. None. The only exception is buying fodder to be exalted for a profit, since that's how I make most of my money
[*]Make as much money as possible every day. Gems and treasure both.
[*]Everything I obtain such as money or openables will go into my vault, until my challenge is over and I go on a spending spree
[*]Festival chests will not be recorded and opened at the end. I would rather keep them to sell later
[/LIST]
Doesn't sound too bad right? Don't open things, earn tons of money at the end. Except for how long this challenge will last.
[i]I will be doing this challenge all year[/i]
Yes. All year. No spending. No opening. No impulsive egg hatches. No lair expansions. All year. Do I expect to fail? Yes. But I'm going to do my best not to!

1500
Serpentine Lamp
Familiar
The spirit of this lamp has been known to throw a hissy fit.
1500

The first update of [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/frd/1849563/338#post_24748605]my quest[/url]! I actually did stuff.
Gene Projects - I made a little bit of treasure today. My total savings so far are...

Familiars - 100/489. I hit a hundred! I got a leafy moth and emerald webwing from the coli, and a shiny residue from Baldwin.
[item=leafy moth][item=emerald webwing][item=shiny residue]
Chests - 12/100. I got twelve rusted chests from bonding with familiars today.

I leveled my team to 15 before New Years rollover and then returned the borrowed 25s. They helped immensely!
Today I trained to 16 in the Bamboo falls, then to 17 at the cove. I really enjoy the cove, it helps that a Deeprealm Hunter dropped for me there. I sold it and got the eliminates I needed, and also equipped the berserkers I've been saving (ty notn)
I'm rethinking Milan right now. I read that element matters and so it's good that Indra is plague, but I dont know if a level 25 water dragon is the best choice for my team. She's beautiful though and I'm committed to training her to 25 but I may decide to sell or trade her one day. Saffron is a BEAST. OMG. I just want to make little explosion sounds when she hits things.
Familiars have been dropping alot more frequently for me since notn ended. 72/75

^ me avoiding eye contact with crimson emperor
Familiars I'm missing from woodland path:
Basilisk
Familiar
A basilisk's gaze can petrify even the hardiest Earth dragons into stone. Staring contests with this familiar are not recommended.
1800
Cockatrice
Familiar
Don't let the Cockatrice's amusing gait fool you, its screeching crow can freeze a dragon in place.
1800
Crimson Emperor
Familiar
Despite its appearance, the Crimson Emperor is not a malignant creature. Its striking coloration is used to ward off predators. (KS-sponsored by Windswept.)
1600
Blooming Strangler
Familiar
A strangler in bloom is at the end of its life cycle. It is ready to reproduce.
1675
Bluefin Charger
Familiar
The bluefin charger hunts on thin ice. It will charge its prey, breaking the ice beneath their feet, sending it to a watery grave. The charger itself is semi-aquatic.
1850
Clown Charger
Familiar
The clown charger's skin is poisonous. Most dragons consider eating them to be more trouble than hunting them.
1900
Sakura Owl
Familiar
The sakura owl blooms only once a year. Many forest denizens will journey long distances to witness the event. Not all of the visitors return...
1675
Janustrap
Familiar
One of the stalks keeps track of where flies will be, while the other monitors where dragons have been.
1635
Greenroot Janustrap
Familiar
One can catch more flies with honey than vinegar - however both of these methods are inferior to using a Janustrap!
1650
Bamboo Phytocat
Familiar
