TOPIC | Hatchling Custom Skins are Finally Here!
[quote name="Rant" date="2024-06-03 14:34:39" ] i'm so excited for hatchling skins! however, with the addition of so many new festival skins, will there ever be a way we can earn more treasure through the fairgrounds, or any other means? the cost of getting all the skins for festivals keeps increasing, but our available avenues for generating income feel very stagnant. [/quote] Agreed!

Chest drop rate could definitely be improved (even aggressively coli farming and digging for 15 turns every day usually isn't enough for me to get all the chest skins), but even decreasing the price of individual skins to maybe 25k would help combat this. As it stands, I'm not looking forward to shelling out 700kt per fest. [/quote] This has articulated my feelings on this pretty well. I used to collect all the skins, my chest luck has been meh for some fests but all purchase is a lot to ask if nothing else caves. I like the Baldwin idea or heck maybe one of two become fest currency purchasable, just anything but 35kt it's so much even if you want one copy, what if you want more? [/quote] Same, it's become such a burden that just makes me frustrated and angry that I ended up completely giving up on fest skins a year ago. I get zero to three per fest doing daily stuff depending on RNG and that's it. I've lost interest and I value my good mood.

I wish there was a way to save Hatchling scries and use them to preview skins. I dont want to buy a dragon only to find out it doesn't match the vibe i want..

[/quote] definitely agree!! i just ordered a hatchling skin and its becoming a real nightmare trying to scry a dragon for it since hatchlings can't be put into the dressing room. i really hope staff can make it so previewing skins in the dressing room works for hatchlings too [emoji=coatl sad size=1]
