I've recently returned to Flight Rising, and never finished this the first time around. This time I'm determined to complete! All credit to justjasper.
START
Obtain an unhatched egg to hatch
Or obtain an ungened, unbred G1 dragon (cheapest on the AH)
EDIT: If on a tight budget, an unbred, ungened plentiful dragon (use a random selection method such as a random number generator or a dice to choose between your options, or buy the cheapest ungened plentiful on the AH)
This dragon is your founder
FIRST GENERATION
Find a mate for this dragon
The mate must be the same flight as your founder (doesn’t matter if not the same flight you’re in)
You cannot pay more than 10,000t for this dragon
This dragon must not have bred before
When they’re ready, breed them
SECOND GENERATION
When the eggs hatch, the first egg that hatches is the heir
Alternative option: number the hatchlings and let a random number generator decide your heir
You can keep, exalt or sell the founder & mate and any other hatchlings; whatever you do, they are now excluded from the challenge
You must now find a mate for your heir
This mate must be the same flight as the founder was
You cannot pay more than 20,000t for them
When they’re ready, breed them
THIRD TO NINTH GENERATION
The rules for each subsequent generation are the same
The mate treasure cap rises by 10,000 each generation (e.g. 3rd gen = 30, 4th gen = 40k)
TENTH GENERATION
The first hatchling to be born for this generation is your final dragon
If you’ve been keeping score, tally your total and see how you did compared to others doing the challenge
RULES
No scrolling: no breed change, no scatter, no gening, no removing genes, no maturity scrolls
Renaming scrolls are an exception to this rule
You cannot use dragons you’ve won, been given, or bred from another pair as a mate for one of your heirs, you must purchase them
Points for hatchlings can only be counted for the clutch the heir was in - you can’t breed your first pair again and count their offspring as points towards your legacy score (though of course you can breed them as much as you want outside of the challenge)
