Quests & Challenges

In the beginning, there were dragons and dreams of taking the most awfully RNG-chosen mess to something beautiful, timeless, beloved, and rare. Then came the push for Dominance, as more and more Flights put forth greater and greater efforts to rise to the top. So begins another Challenge in the long line of Legacy challenges.

The rules follow the original guidelines, with a few specific modifications. I've also updated the original points list for use here, as well as added a few additional categories. The core concept comes from their main points.



If you have never before been involved in Dominance efforts for your flight, maybe this will give you a low-effort, low-level reason to get your toes wet. Maybe not. Remember, this is only a challenge and you decide if you want to attempt it or not.

If you've never before attempted a Legacy Challenge, warning - this comes with rules that up the difficulty and possible frustration levels.

The primary Goal of any Legacy Challenge to to get to an certain type of dragon by a given number of generations.

Starting with a single, Gen 1(Parentless), Plentiful dragon and:

• Beautify / Horrify / Uglify*
• 3 Genes
• Rare or Limited Breed
• Coliseum-ready **
• Whose entire line has been leveled and exalted. ***

* These are some of the different end goals from other Legacy Projects, based on the player's desired final outcome. Be this "what ever happens" or "striving for XYX" is entirely up to you. But you need to pick an end-goal to try and achieve.

** Final Dragon must be leveled to at least 10. Adding Stones, placing points based on build is up to the player. See "Modifications & Allowances" for more information.

*** Two exceptions are made, for Lore purposes. The Gen 1 Founder, and the Final Heir. See "Modifications & Allowances" for more information.

Check the "too pretty to exalt" threads, or have your teammates just keep an eye out for something that fits your plans - but do not ask them to slow their progress for your sake. This should not ever interfere with Dom efforts. [b]If you are doing this in the downtime between pushes, you cannot snipe for a mate.[/b] This added rule *only* applies to downtimes. [i]* You can [b]only[/b] Obtain a Mate through your Flights various Dominance efforts, or through your team-group. Holding, Leveling, Catching, Sniping (with the noted exception above). ** This is where being a dragon catcher comes in handy, as you can offer bonuses for a specific dragon type. *** This can be done at any time. But, for Dom Efforts, or during a push, it may be best to hatch them early on (Sunday) so they will be adults by the end of the push.[/i] [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/dhlrct19p4n3wjm/iceh5.png[/img][/center] [center][size=5]Second Generation | First Heir[/size][/center] [b]Second Generation Heir[/b] You have a few options in obtaining an Heir.

[/LIST] * Rogues are looked down upon unfavorably. Those dragons who "escape" exaltation, shame their lines. These happen, sometimes due to fear, and other times due to unforeseen complications of life. ** Rarely is a line split into two - if this does occur (Split Legacy) then continue to follow the rules / pattern of heir finding and heir selection for both lines.

(I may have a graphic badge for folks some time in the future.) You may continue the Legacy with this Heir, following a new goal if you wish. At this point you may do what you wish with this dragon. OPTIONAL: You may wish to Level the HEIR beyond 7 for each successive generation. The leveling is up to you, how far you want to go. [b]You can:[/b] [LIST] [*]Add the Heir's generation to it's current level goal (if you are normally only leveling them to 7, for example). ~ So a Gen 4 Heir would be leveled to 11 before exalting them. OR [*]Level each past the base level (again, between 7-10) by a multiple of 2. ~ a 5th Gen Heir would be leveled to 10, while a 9th gen Heir would be leveled to 18. [/LIST]

There are two versions of this Challenge. Individual or Team-play. If your Flight hasBattle Guilds, or something similar (where a group of players, as a team, work together to help their Flight attain dominance / profit push), you may opt to enlist the help of your team.

If, in such a case that such groups do not exist, you may do this as a solo-mode run.

Or, even if they do, you can still run this as in Solo mode.


The rules between them are pretty much the same, except one. If you are working on a team, and opt to do team-play mode, you can ONLY get Mates from them.

In turn they may help you by leveling and/or exalting them for you (in the case that you cannot level them yourself).

Team Play You must obtain Mates through your team. They may help you level/exalt them. If your team has a Sniper / AH haunter, you MAY ask them to look for something specific. Mates can only be bought at current (AH floor) fodder proces.

________ Individual Play You must obtain Mates through Dominance related activities. ~~ Dragon catcher for a raffle/event. ~~ Holding dragons for levelers. ~~ You cannot snipe for a Mate. You must either level them, or find someone to level them to 10 before exalting them. * If you are working the raffle/event as a catcher, you MAY entice people to send your dragons of a specific kind in order to "catch" a proper mate. **

* This is difficult in the world of Dom, as the best level to send a dragon off to a deity is about the 6-7 range. Things slow down too after that to make it "worthwhile".

** Remember that when you catch for yourself, you are taking a dragon away from the current DOM efforts. Make sure you have a replacement dragon on hand to swap it out.

Exalt Allowances:

• The Gen 1 (Parentless) Founder &/or Mate may be kept (not exalted), sold, auctioned, or traded.
• The Final Heir may be kept (not exalted), sold, auctioned, or traded.
• Dragons in this line may be exalted by sending them into the Flight raffles for tickets &/or treasure. *
• Dragons do not need to be sent to YOUR Deity if you are supporting another Flight in their efforts. (This covers when a Flight is not pushing during hatching times.) **

* If a dragon sent in, is not exalted because they are "rescued", that is NOT on you. That is out of your hands. However, you cannot "rescue" your own dragons. They must be sent to a Deity.

** This is ONLY allowed IF your Flight is NOT pushing for Dominance.

You may choose to keep score, if you so wish. This is a personal challenge, and at this time I am not offering any points for "best score", except maybe some cheering for being awesome. :)


Money

• 10kt under budget for Mates = 2
• For every 10kt made when exalting = 2
• Donating you Legacy Exalt Profits to your Flight's efforts = 2 (per 10kt)

Nest & Hatchlings
Per hatchling, per Generation's Clutch*

Nest

• 4 Eggs between same breed group (common x common) = 1
• 5 egg nest = 5

Hatchling Outcomes
Heir's Score is doubled.
~~ Here is a chart that clarifies naming and is useful for planning your breedings.

Breed Plentiful = 1 (Starters) Common = 2 Uncommon = 3 Limited = 4 Rare = 5

_____

Genes Plentiful = n/a (Basic) Common = 3 Uncommon Breed = 4 Limited Breed = 5 Rare = 6

_____

Colors XYZ = n/a Doubled = 3 (XXY, XYX, XYY) Tripled = 5 (XXX)

The Deities, knowing the rising of the Beastclans were putting pressure on their offspring, decided to call to the Lost and mark them for greatness. These dragons would produce a bloodline of strong warriors and mages that would fight beside them. IN such a process they would rally and inspire future generations of dragons, and in doing so promote confidence while facing a lesser though no less dangerous threat.

Extended Legacy Ideas:

Take your final dragon, level it to 25, Stat and stone it as you see fit.
Use that as the basis for a modified lvl25-legacy challenge
