A couple months ago I had a 5 question survey and one of the questions in it was about how much this fee should be. Based on your votes, I've decided that this fee will be a minimum cost of [u]25 tickets (5kT // 5g)[/u]. [b]This fee does not apply to the Milestone and Mammoth prizes, strictly Monthly.[/b] So if you don't want to spend any money and you're willing to be patient, I will never turn away someone who is interested in the Milestone/Mammoth prizes. If you're not willing to wait and/or you're particularly interested in the monthly prize, however, you will be required to purchase at least 25 tickets (5kT // 5g) per month to be eligible for said prize. If you have any questions, please ping me and I will answer them ASAP, maybe even include them in the FAQ if I get more than one user asking the same thing. [b]This does not apply until July 1st, making this month [i]the last month[/i] you can get a monthly raffle prize without paying treasure/gems.[/b] (2) [b]Dragon Donations have had some additions, thus making it more likely for your dragons to be worth more tickets![/b] I've added the following attributes to the spreadsheet to spread out the ways that you can earn tickets for your dragon donations. This should make dragon donations a little more valuable for you donors, just remember that I need to currently have the lair space to accept dragon donations or you need to be willing to have patience with me :3 [url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1AYsIhYWCVNreJI1Bkuo4XZWe-uph7XmNHWMxtbFSDL4/edit?usp=sharing]Click here[/url] to see the updates made in Dragon Donations spreadsheet yourself and/or get more information on exactly what each attribute means to me! The link to this spreadsheet can always be found in [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/1837788#post_19656836]post 8[/url] in this thread, as well as in my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/1875548][LF] Neverending Raffle Prize Donations thread[/url] in [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/1875548#post_20381079]post 4[/url] c: [/center][indent][LIST] [*] One of a Kind* [*] Gem Gene [*] Minor Lore [*] Average Lore [*] Major Lore [*] Simple Art [*] Average Art [*] Professional Art [*] Fill-in-the-Blank Bio [*] Formatted Bio [*] Extensive Bio [/LIST] [i]*Found in colors section; the rest can be found in "other attributes"[/i][/indent] [center][size=5][b]PRIZE UPDATES[/b][/size] (1) [b]NEW MAMMOTH PRIZE - Let Them Eat Cake![/b] This prize has been added to the list of mammoth prizes on both the thread and the spreadsheet.

[i]For clarity's sake, I still do not have a Sprouting Goblin for the raffle; if someone is kind enough to donate one, it would complete this pool therefore offering a total of 75 free bonus tickets :3[/i] [size=5][b]UNLOCKABLE PRIZES STATUS[/b][/size] (1) [b]Milestone Pool 8: Wild Rainbows has been unlocked![/b] Thank you to anyone and everyone who has purchased raffle tickets with treasure/gems and/or donated dragons for me to level and exalt and helped me make this happen! I'm so happy to be this much closer to accomplishing my current milestone goal :D [i]More details below in the Current Goal section[/i]. (2) [b]We are 4/5 prize pools closer to unlocking Milestone Pool 5: Silky Smooth![/b] To unlock this pool, all that needs to happen is the completion of the first 5 prize pools according to the expectations laid out in my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/1875548][LF] Neverending Raffle Prize Donations thread[/url]. We have managed to work together to complete the first 4 pools {We'll (Never) Be Royals, The Cat's Meow, I'm So Fancy (You Already Know), and Scarves}. Now we just need to complete Silky Smooth by donating the remaining silks. I will do my best to gather what I can, but in order for it to be unlocked I'm definitely going to need your guys' help c: You've done great and helped so much up to this point, so I have faith in ya'll that we can do this :D (3) [b]Milestone Pools 6 and 7 are now significantly easier to unlock![/b] I realize now that I was a bit too ambitious with how many tickets I thought I could sell with the increase in ticket value (“a bit” lmao) so I decided that to make things more fair on ya’ll; I’ve decreased my previously unreasonable 10 and 50 million ticket values to a far more reasonable 10 thousand and 50 thousand respectively c: I have currently sold a total of 7,505 tickets (via treasure/gems exclusively) since the beginning of my new milestone goal on January 1st :D Way to go! (4) [b]To unlock pool 9, I still need to buy 160 lair spaces, 8 upgrades away.[/b] In order to afford this, I a total of 18,045,000 treasure; I only have 180kT right now and just unlocked 120 spaces. At my current rate, I’m pretty much buying an upgrade a month, so if we can double production on people purchasing tickets and donating dragons, we can be on track to unlock this prize by September! I need your help to do this, though, and in return together we can unlock Milestone Pool 9: All that Glitters is Gold, the second most expensive milestone prize pool! :D On that note, BIG thank you to @PsychoticRomance for your generous treasure-based ticket purchases! Without them, I wouldn't be as close to completing my goal as I am now! (5) [b]To unlock pool 10, I need to complete my current goal, which is to unlock all 200 maximum lair spaces in my lair.[/b] I began this goal at the beginning of the year with 95 lair spaces, and have expanded 5 out of the necessary 21 times times, so I’m doing alright but with your help I could do even better, maybe even accomplish my milestone goal! c: You can always see how my current goal is progressing in real time in my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/1873486]Neverending Raffle Milestone Goal[/url] Thread. [size=5][b]AFFILIATES[/b][/size] We have a new affiliate, an affiliate who saved 1000 dragon eggs and is mass-hatching all of the gen1 dragons to sell/auction off in a huge hatching event c: If you’d like to snag yourself some great gen1s, be sure to click his banner below! Thank you so much to @HenryTheArcher for affiliating with my raffle!

UPDATES[/b][/size] (1) [b]With the update to the auction house now in place, I've edited my posts to specify that I will be using the lowest [i]realm-wide[/i] auction house prices specifically (potentially abbreviated RW-AH) when tallying up ticket values for donations and the like.[/b] If you see anywhere that I've missed, do let me know so I can edit that in, thank you! (2) To unlock pool 5, the first 5 prize pools need to be completed. To make things a little easier on those striving to help unlock this pool, I’ve made a list! There’s now a quoted section in in [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/1875548#post_20597082]post 8[/url] of my [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/1875548][LF] Neverending Raffle Prize Donations[/url] thread titled “Unlockable Status” that gives a quick and easy list of all the items that I still need in order to unlock the 5th prize pool and provides information about how close that pool is to being unlocked. Hopefully this proves helpful to you guys~ (3) The “Want to Donate a Prize” post has had a change to the rules regarding donating dragons you’ve received from myself. It now states the following: [quote](8) [b]You may even donate dragons you receive from me.[/b] The only catch is that I will not accept donations of dragons you bought from me that are still hatchlings; they have to [i]at least[/i] grow up before I take them back as a donation in order to give them an opportunity to sell to a loving, forever home.[/quote] (4) [b]A new column has been added to the ticket spreadsheet: User ID.[/b] I will be using this to confirm any claims for username changes, as an added safety precaution, simply due to the sheer number of users now taking part in this raffle. [b]Please double check it to make sure your ID number is correct and let me know ASAP if it has been inputted wrong.[/b] [i]While doing this I realized that user SugarSpooks has changed her username and not informed me. If anyone knows what her new username is, please let me know so she doesn’t lose her tickets![/i] (5) [b]As of April, I have began adding a separate section for bump tickets exclusively at the bottom of the monthly tabs in the history of tickets spreadsheet.[/b] This will make keeping track of your bump tickets easier for both you and me c: (6) [b]A clarification note has been added to the [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/ibaz/1875548][LF] Neverending Raffle Prize Donations[/url] thread![/b] If you’d like to read it where it’s now located, it’s in the very first post of the prior mentioned and linked thread. Otherwise, it’s the same information as is quoted below: [quote][u][b]Some Small Print // Important Clarification Note:[/b][/u] [size=2]The primary purpose of this thread is a prize wishlist for (a) kind people willing to donate and/or (b) people looking for alternative methods of earning tickets towards [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/raf/1837788]the Neverending Raffle[/url]. It's secondary purpose is an additional wishlist that I'm willing to accept in trade in exchange for goods/services I'm offering (example: a dragon for sale in my lair).

Thank you for taking the time to read this! Have a lovely rest of your day![/size][/quote] (7) [b]A little bit of information has been added to the first post.[/b] It is as follows and is in a quote between the welcome paragraph and rules: [/center][quote][center][size=5][color=green][b]Some good information to have:[/b][/color][/size][/center] [LIST] [*] [b]I ping everyone who is a part of this raffle annually[/b] as a reminder that it is indeed still going on, specifically during my yearly raffle event "Neverending November."
