Hey folks!
Lately, I've been introducing a
lot of my friends to Flight Rising! It's been very fun and exciting to have more folks to play with... but, rather than explain the same thing over and over again and pull up visuals every time... I decided to make
a handy little presentation as an aid!
Thus, this was born (and subsequently inflicted on many poor and unfortunate souls).
It is
not exhaustive, but covers
some basics for players who might be lost when joining Flight Rising. The site has expanded a lot since I joined, and I found that there aren't many up-to-date newbie guides. That said, it's already very long so I tried to stick to the main things that I received questions on from my friends that joined!
While it might not be particularly helpful for folks who are already FR players, I wanted to post it
in case anyone else wants to drag their friends into FR or if anyone curious about joining happens to be dredging through the forums.
It covers:
- Picking a Flight
- What a Flight is and what picking one does
- An overview of all 11 flights, including lair backgrounds, nests, eyes, and community summaries based on Starstreak's polls
- Making a Custom Progen
- How colors and genes work, and the Scrying Workshop
- The diets of dragon breeds and what feeding vs. not feeding dragons does, mechanically (+ selective feeding)
- Your Random Progen showing up
- Whether or not you decide to breed your progens
- How breeding works with colors and genes
- Incubation and breeding cooldowns
- Gathering and Lair
- What each gathering profession does
- Converting food, using the hoard, and checking what items are used for
- Expanding your lair and hibernal den, and lair tabs
- Types of items
- Familiars, bond levels, and what they do
- Apparel, Skins & Accents, and the dressing room
- Battlestones
- Genes and other specialty items like eye vials and breed changes
- Vistas
- Making Treasure / Gems
- Fairgrounds
- Coliseum and Exalting
- Selling items and the Auction House
- Site activities like achievements, Tomo, and Crim
- Send off / Format Credits
Changelog:
- April 5th - Added alt text to all images on the slideshow.
- April 7th - Added a note about selective feeding and account settings
Potential Additions:
- Navigation aid? (Sidebar, where things are and what they do)
- Other site activities (Basics - the point isn't to be overwhelming)

If I don't respond to your comment/post/ping/DM, don't take it personally.
I am awkward; sometimes I can't think of anything to say, or I may have forgotten. If important, poke me again.
