Flight Rising Discussion

[quote]Can Pinkerton's Plundered Pile get you items that are "exclusive" to Swipp or Baldwin?[/quote] Nope - in order to keep items exclusive and valuable, you wouldn't see items from one part of the Trading Post appearing anywhere else. [br][br] [quote]Was doing some selling in the AH and came to realise that the auction house trio (Spitfire, Edgar and Pearl) are making lots and lots of treasure from the processing fee - Just how rich are they?[/quote] Is "badazillion" a word? [br][br] [quote]What is the symbol on the rug covering the floor in the Golem Workshop?[/quote] It's meant to be a stylized kind of machine cog; there isn't a huge significance or faction symbol behind the design. [br][br] [quote]What is the in-world explanation for coliseum familiar drops? Did we steal one of their young away and raise them as our own? Were our foes so impressed by our strength that they decided to join us? Did we kidnap them?[/quote] We always viewed it as willful decision by the creature to join the dragon as its companion. [br][br] [quote]Followup to the question about poi-tox colors: you've stated you were trying to make variations before, but I think the question was more about where the colors appear in the pattern. The color that appears on a basic dragon almost always colors the blobs, but very occasionally, it works differently, such as radioactive, whose splotches are closer to jungle or peacock, and the radioactive is in the background behind the splotches.[/quote] In Poison and Toxin, the colors can appear in multiple zones. The choice to do so was for aethestic reasons. [br][br] [quote]For brewable items, how does staff choose what the ingredients are? For example, the Desert Rain Frog Companion: why was it decided to be made of Dried Cedar Branches?[/quote] We want to make sure that the ingredients for different recipes span the gamut of both challenging and simple to come by. We think it's a good balance for the recipes to generally contain a mix of items that are more difficult to procure, as well as give value to more common items. It can also provide an opportunity to give a "vendor-trash" item new value and usage. [br][br] [quote]Do Nocturne Dragons have echolocation for getting around the darkest parts of the Tangled Wood?[/quote] While Nocturnes possess advanced vocal cords enabling them to create a plethora of sounds, they do not have the ability to use echolocation. [br][br] [quote]For what is the "regenerate image" button?[/quote] Sometimes you may make changes to a dragon that do not display right away. While this does not happen often, the button forces the dragon image to refresh and display correctly. [br][br] [quote]Who drew the coliseum's backgrounds? It doesn't seems like either Undel's or Xhaztol's style, and I suspected it was the fr art crew, but I really adore their style. If it's not too terribly invading of their privacy, would you kindly let me know? c:[/quote] Our newest Coliseum background (Redrock Cove) was created by one of our newer artists, Ryan C. Sandswept Delta and Golem Workshop were created by Xhaztol, while the rest were created by Undel.
