Guides

[center] Hey everyone!! I haven't seen a updated Familiar bonding guide since the new layout >:) [size=1](I could be wrong and just missed it but--)[/size] I haveeeeee a [i]LOT[/i] of familiars since I recently started collecting and hoarding them-- SO!! I made a easy little gif guide of how to do hoard familiar bonding in 3 easy clicks. [b][u]STEP 1[/u][/b]: Open [u]two[/u] browser windows [i]next to each other[/i] on your screen to the [u]same dragon[/u]. (for me I have my dragon on the [i]left[/i] and familiar switching page on the [i]right[/i] but I suppose its whatever works best for your orientation, [i][u]However[/u][/i], for this tutorial I'm doing it [i]my way[/i] <3) Make sure to select the NOT BONDED TODAY Filter [img]https://i.imgur.com/uUCTkcx.png[/img] [u][b]STEP 2[/b][/u]: Bond with your current familiar but do [b][u]NOT[/u][/b] click 'close' when the window pops up, instead, go and switch your familiar on the other browser screen, THEN click 'close', it will refresh the page with the swapped familiar [u][b]STEP 3[/b][/u]: Repeat (: simple [size=2](Gif seems to move a bit slower than I recorded it but still shows a handful of swaps, I guess that works out for demonstration purposes anyway. Once you get the rhythm tho it goes pretty smooth and quick)[/size] [img]https://imgur.com/OtGORSt.gif[/img] [size=2][b]vVv [u]A VERY HANDY TIP FROM @Jinoga below as well as my followup[/u] [emoji=ping size=1] !! vVv[/b] [b][u]AND ANOTHER Great [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/3207783/1#post_53426510]tip[/url] from @RottingFlesh as well![/u][/b] [/center]

@SpaceBear This is a really handy guide, thank you for making it! :) One thing I'd like to add is that you can change the window and page sizes to minimize the amount of mouse/wrist movement you have to do between the bond button and familiar selection (I increase the page size of the familiar selection page so that the icons are larger and easier for me to click on/aim for). Here's an image showing what I mean! [img]https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/452641737551118349/1069195861420150854/image.png[/img] Another thing I'd like to add is that you don't need to press the "Close" button. For me, I like to move my mouse back to the bond button, click it, (but since the bonding popup is still there it won't do anything, this is just so that it changes the window I'm currently on) and hit the refresh key, then bond again. This further minimizes the amount of mouse/wrist movement you have to make!

[center] @Jinoga AAA THAT Is a wonderful tip. TO ADD TO IT THO! Made a couple small edits to the post including a shout to your comment~ So im noticing that at least using firefox, resizing the one window does the same to both windows. I was still able to line things up nicely to make this work (: Made another gif showin how that looked, THO The converter i used seemed to slow it down a bit again but its okay, still gets the idea across-- [img]https://i.imgur.com/wi0sOC9.gif[/img]

I'd also like to add what I've been doing for ages now, and that's opening two tabs and switching between them, which means even less wrist movement. On PC it's Ctrl + tab, and on mac it's cmd + alt + the pointers (if I remember correctly). Works something like this: [img]https://i.postimg.cc/CxDWQHYQ/ezgif-com-crop.gif[/img] It works absolutely best if you have a ton of familiars, cause then you only have to move the mouse from the "Close" button and back to the bond button, because if you position it correctly when you switch tabs you can just click to choose the new familiar and then switch to the bonding tab again.

just tried this guide out and it only took me around 20 minutes to finish bonding w my familars vs the 45-1hr I would usually spend. thank you so much!!

@RottingFlesh THAT Is a solid piece of advice, adding a little mention up there to your comment too ahhh <3 that made things move even QUICKER, crazyyyy <:


@styygian yESSSS I LOVE TO HEAR IT!!! And the community just keeps adding solid tips to this too ^^ Got us a solid modern guide to familiar bonding hahahah

Glad to help! I've been mass bonding with my familiars since back in the day so I get the struggle of bonding with 200+ familiars daily lmao

If you play on Mobile, swiping back directly from the 'bonded' window will bring you back to the familiar select screen, which saves you two taps (closing the window and going back to hoard) but the "Not bonded today" search setting doesn't work properly sometimes when you swipe back

It's how I'd get my familiars bonded since it's a lot faster than doing it on my computer, This seems wayyy easier though, so I'll have to try it out tomorrow!

Super handy!!

this was so helpful !!!! thank you !!!!
