Flight Rising Discussion

I think scatter scrolls are perfect for dragons that have a special meaning or can't be replaced, such as progens. :> Though the downside is the next color may not be as good as the last one, so you could potentially spend a lot of gems buying scrolls until you get a combo that speaks to you. For the record I didn't love my random progen (I think he was like...all yellows, lol) and did end up scattering him, I think I went through like 5-6 scrolls but I did get a combo I loved.

If the dragon is sentimental or special to you in any way, and you want a new look for them that can't be done via apparel, gene or breed changes... then yes, Scatter scrolls are worth it!

Just be prepared for results you might not like. If you're picky about combos, a Scatterscrolling endeavour has the potential to snowball in cost. Once you use that scroll, it can't be undone, so make sure you're comfortable with maybe getting a worse result and having to buy another scroll to "fix" it. X'D

I've personally had a lot of success with scatterscrolls. I think as long as you aren't looking for something specific it really doesn't take long to find a good combo. For example...

It is a lot of fun, in my opinion, trying to make each color combo work. It's up to you though, if you think the dragons are worth it. It usually takes me anywhere from 1 to 7 scatters to find something I liked and that's not cheap. For others I know it takes many more. But if they are valuable enough to you, you should go for it!

to answer the title question...maybe! it really depends on what matters most to you. a ton of players exalt their progens/otherwise ignore them and thats totally valid way to play (especially bc you can always restore them so you can just like kick em out for a bit if you were so inclined)! if you want to keep your progens around though, like Those Specific Dragons of Those Specific ID Numbers, then yeah a scatterscroll can be a good way to go! ofc when using scatterscrolls you [b]have[/b] to be ready for the possibility that what you scatter the dragon to may just end up worse. you may end up paying 350g for something you also dont want. doesnt mean that WILL happen, but I think its important to like...be prepared for that contingency I suppose. also I think like, once you scatter a dragon once, theres like a...reshuffling impulse that can kick in for some people (me), where sometimes you just compulsively keep shuffling that one dragon because youve already done it once...? I dunno maybe its a me thing I landed on fine colors once and I almost kneejerk-scattered again before I had time to mull over the colors and realize "wait, these are actually good", so I suppose give yourself a bit of time to think over each palette? if you do more than one scatter that is [edit: it looks like someone already covered this orz] anyway I have used scatters a couple times and I do find them to be worth it; I had a dragon I used for a breeding project and I wanted to keep him bc I got attached, but he looked too much like his kid and I wanted to break up the monotony a bit--one scatter later and I dont think his colors would be winning any awards (midnight/green/periwinkle) but he is ABSOLUTELY his own, visually-distinct man now. im really happy I both get to keep him AND get a dragon that more suits my lair [emoji=coatl tongue size=1] also am no gonna tell you that you shouldnt scatter siren or anything; if their colors dont spark joy they dont spark joy. however. blessed are ye who wieldst the Maize Tert....its one of the most versatile terts I think (my icon rn is maize tert!), so I think there are Options; my first instinct was maize koi since it covers a lot of that bright green while also giving siren a dapple-y look, like a kelp garden or something...framing may also help, like putting them on the kelp beds scene seems like it would be a perfect look [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=39&bodygene=272&breed=21&element=6&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=1&tertgene=254&winggene=121&wings=31&auth=8264c47c8495805725764e1e4064b9a1f3fb99f8&dummyext=prev.png[/img] alternately, maize soap softens those colors right up! this one I think they look like a leafy seadragon? which I love also [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=39&bodygene=272&breed=21&element=6&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=1&tertgene=124&winggene=114&wings=31&auth=268cc6dc4e174a8d7eee703f82f669f63894a611&dummyext=prev.png[/img]

personally I don't think they're worth it 99% of the time, but for progens I'd say they can be if you really don't like them!! you only get two progens, they're very special, so if any dragon should be scattered I think it should be them :)


(personally even though I didn't like my custom progen's colours I didn't scatter her and just waited I found a good scry with a new gene six years later, but that's just my playstyle haha)

I would say that they're worth it for dragons that are very special to you! I'll also say as someone pretty picky about her dragons, they're not bad as long as you're not married to one specific color combo and are open to *a* good combo. If you want something specific, I'd be more wary. The longest project I had was 4 scrolls, and that was Mistmantle here (you can see his earlier combos in his bio).
