This is a Lightning fundraising shop with sets of rotating badges for sale, themed after succulents and other Shifting Expanse biodiversity. Collect them for your badge collections, decorate your dragon bios, and more! [b]All proceeds go towards the Lightning Dom bank.[/b][/i] [url=https://flightrising.com/main.php?p=explore&map=5]Our name comes from the lair location![/url] [/columns] [rule] How does it work? The farm will have occasional openings, where a new set of badges will be posted. Badges can vary in rarity, and some are exclusive to specific events (on-site events, Lightning Conquests, etc.). Badges come with a retiring date, after which they cannot be purchased at their original price. But worry not-- sometimes the greenhouse has "backstock sales", where previous badges can be purchased! If you don't want to miss a new plant shipment, subscribe to the pinglist below.

I like to draw badges and succulents/arid plants are some of my favorite kinds of plants, so I thought it'd be fun to open a shop themed loosely around this! Part of the Lightning territory includes the Highland Scrub and Carrion Canyons, both containing interesting and unique desert biodiversity.[emoji=ridgeback tongue size=1][/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] How often does this shop update?[/b][/size] [size=3] This shop is a side project, which opens when I have the time. I have recently been aiming for events like festivals and Lightning Dominance pushes. I am a busy grad student, so I try my best to be active, but cannot guarantee constant availability. Thank you for your patience and support![/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] Where do the funds go?[/b][/size] [size=3]All funds go towards the Lightning Dominance Bank. Funds raised go towards Dominance pushes-- this funds attendants, raffles, artists, and more (both in-flight and out-of-flight benefits during push weeks!). Personal tips to me for keeping the shop running are generous and accepted (you are too kind), but by no means required or requested.[/size] For members of the Lightning flight, you can see payment history from TLF in our Dom Bank records spreadsheet (in the forums) for full payment transparency. [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] I'm not in the Lightning flight. Can I still buy badges?[/b][/size] [size=3]Members of any and all flights can purchase badges to use and enjoy.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] Can I place multiple orders?[/b][/size] [size=3]Yep! I reply to all PMs to confirm order receipt, so as long as you don't mind multiple replies that is fine. You may only order each badge once though. Once you order a badge, you can use it anywhere on FR, as many times as you'd like.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] Help, I lost my badge codes/forgot what I ordered![/b][/size] [size=3]Use the Lightning Farm Badge Tracker, which is linked in the "Available Badges" post above! I am also currently working on getting a "badge archive" into the bio of one of my dragons as well. If you forget what badges are purchased and cannot access the self-service Badge Tracker, DM me-- all purchases are logged![/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] How do badges work?[/b][/size] [size=3]Badges are collectable decorations that many different events around the site give out. Many users like to have badge collections ([url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/1047862]here is mine[/url]) to show off what events they've taken part in throughout their time on Flight Rising. You can use them to decorate dragon pages, forum signatures, and more.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] Do badges retire?[/b][/size] [size=3]Most badges are available only for a limited time, and their expiration date is listed with the badge information. Past this date, the badge can no longer be purchased at its normal price. Worry not if you missed a badge you really want to buy though-- "backstock" sales open during Lightning Dominance pushes, at a markup![/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] What are the different badge rarities?[/b][/size] [size=3]Badges are categorized as Common, Uncommon, Rare, Special, or Conquest. Rarer badges cost more to retroactively purchase. Special and Conquest badges are obtained through special circumstances, and may not always be available for future purchase.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] Can I edit badges or use them offsite?[/b][/size] [size=3]No, sorry! The only editing I allow is flipping the image so it faces the other direction if you were to use it in a bio layout or signature. If badges are edited or used outside of Flight Rising I reserve the right to not accept future orders from you.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] What is the descriptive text included in the BBCode with the badges/when you hover over the badges?[/b][/size] [size=3]This is called "alt text"! It is an accessibility feature for people who use screen readers, or have slow internet where images do not load quickly. It is a description of the image that is read out loud by a screen reader in place of the image, or appears in place of the image when the image cannot load. I try to describe each badge briefly so more people can enjoy them. If you are interested in providing alt text, feel free to use my image descriptions or create your own.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] What is a Greenhouse Employee, and how do I become one?[/b][/size] [size=3]A greenhouse employee is someone who helps keep the shop running-- whether that's by accepting orders or helping with data entry. A Greenhouse Employee must be in the Lightning Flight for communication purposes. I would love to take on more Greenhouse Employees, but I am still learning the ropes and would like the shop to be running for a bit before introducing more people.[/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] Can I draw badges?[/b][/size] [size=3]In the future, I would love "contributing greenhouses" (aka other artists) to collaborate. However, until the shop is running smoothly and has existed for a bit, I am not looking for other artists at this time![/size] [size=4][b][emoji=question mark size=4] I have a question that wasn't answered here/I noticed an error![/b][/size] [size=3]Oops! Please ping me (Striation) or PM me and I'll get that sorted out.[/size]

[center]@pinglist-18498[/center] [rule] Hello all, and thank you for subscribing to the TLF pinglist! The shop is now [i]officially[/i] open to the public. As such, this pinglist will primarily be utilized for new badge availability and major updates going forward (aka I do not wish to flood your inbox). The first two badges are now available, and both are of the "special" rarity category. The Stormcatcher Badge will always be available (kind of like the shop signature?) and will not retire. The Thunderous Tester badge is available for the first month of the shop's opening. It's a "grand opening"/"thank you for helping me test run this shop" badge, after then it will retire. [b]If you are interested in purchasing either of these, please PM me with which badges you'd like and payment![/b] You can optionally also share your orders in the thread here.

Congrats on getting this up and running! <3

[center][size=4][b][emoji=information size=4] TLF Badge Tracker Updates - v.1.0 [emoji=information size=4][/b][/size][/center] [rule] Minor update so I won't use the pinglist, but the [b][u][url=https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XgpXaFufEYek90MZRC3x4uLdo5fx1leGXMiigNb9Ch4/edit]self-service badge tracker[/url][/u][/b] is now available. If you have purchased badges before, you can now check which badges you own by inputting your FR ID on your own copy of the sheet where directed! It is designed to update automatically across personal copies when I add new badges, hopefully limiting the amount of times redownloads of new versions will be required. If you encounter any bugs, feel free to let me know so I can fix it. [size=2]I learned SO MUCH about spreadsheets making this, so I am very excited to share this with you all![/size]
