TOPIC | ~ Original Intro Title ~
Hello, new friends/acquaintances! It's a pleasure to be here.

I am a 30-something enby who likes music, games, and hot beverages. My favorite forms of self-expression are through fashion and building decks for my favorite trading card games (Universus, One Piece, Pokémon, Lorcana). I am trying to learn kalimba and ukulele, and I also just started Duolingo Spanish, music, and math to keep my mind active and to prevent boredom during downtime at work. My three most recently watched-and-loved shows are Blue Eye Samurai, My Happy Marriage, and Romantic Killer.

I've really been diving into learning about FR. I finished reading Chapters 1-3 and the Epilogue of the site lore, tried to make sense of a few Coliseum guides, and am familiarizing myself with all the daily tasks. (Speaking of the Coliseum, the Training Grounds are a breeze, and by contrast, the Woodland Path is kicking my behind. I still need to collect stuff from the Training Grounds, anyway!)

I can already tell that collecting familiars is going to be a challenge... that I'm totally down for! I like having a goal, and that seems as good as any.

I've got scries for my three humble fighters, and it's hard to decide whether I want them to be Modern breeds so I can dress them, or just Auraboas because snek. They're all gorgeous either way.

Hm, I think that's all for my intro. If you read it, thank you for your time, and if you choose to respond, double thanks ~

Exalting a dragon means you send it to work for your elemental deity. they essentially become removed from the site and don't belong to any player, though they can still be seen. You can get your exalted progens back at any time and also 1 exalted non-progen dragon per 3 months, but you need to pay treasure for restoring the dragons. [*]Don't go against the FR policies?

Fodder dragons can be obtained from breeding cheap fodder dragons or can be bought at ~7000 treasure on the Auction house. You can exalt them to your deity at lvl 6-7: lvl 6 is the most efficient profit-wise, but some level dragons to lvl 8 for more profit/dragon. This will give you treasure (see how much [url=https://flightrising.fandom.com/wiki/Exalting_Dragons]on the Flight rising Wiki[/url])! This works best if you change the coliseum settings in the coliseum to correspond to the WASD(+QE) keys and keep the battlestone order similar for your fighter dragons: Over time coli can be more automated and you can then play coliseum while watching a series in the evening, or even while reading papers or a book on the side.

Hey there @MxStrawberry!

Wishing you a warm welcome to Flight Rising!

Woah, that is so cool! Love tea, but besides that and hot (chocolate) milk, I don't drink any hot beverages... Mostly listen to piano and when it comes to games I only played some pokemon games before joining FR ^^; Love how you're learning so much stuff!

Ah... I only skimmed over some of the lore, haha... Mostly use my own headcannons, because I wrote those before actually discovering the existence of site lore, whoops =v=

Yes, I'm trying to collect as many familiars as I can too! My custom progen is actually a veilspun, but my random progen is a guardian, so you can choose a combination too!



That said... Here is a good this guide to some of the basics!

This guide is way more comprehensive than what I post here, but here is some more information: Feel free to ping me when you have questions!



Do:
  • There are some dailies to be gotten from this website!

    At "gather items" and "trading post" you can get some free stuff each day and in the "fairgrounds" you can play minigames to make a maximum of 75.000 treasure each day.

    If you feed dragons daily, you get more gathering turns!
  • If you want to make more in-game currency, I suggest looking into training a coliseum dragon.

    You can ask on your own flight's forum topic for dragon-lending services, so people can lend you a higher lvl dragon and so you can use that one in a team to grind levels on your progens or your own dragons.


Don't:
  • Personally I do not breed my progens because I don't like the look of a (messy) offspring list.

    If you do breed your progens or dear dragons, please name the offspring something you can look at in the future and not be annoyed. Some people use song lyrics or quotes or themes to name the offspring, which can be really cool!
  • Don't buy everything you want from the marketplace: look at the auction house for possible cheaper options!

    Tbh, some items are more expensive on the auction house, so do compare some of the prices :P
  • Don't sell hatchlings for less than 4g (you can get max 5g for a baby fodder) and don't sell adult dragons for less than 5g (you can get max 7g for an adult fodder).

    (Really pretty lineage + lore dragons in hatcheries can go for ~50g!)

    You cannot sell your progens, only exalt them. Exalting a dragon means you send it to work for your elemental deity. they essentially become removed from the site and don't belong to any player, though they can still be seen.

    You can get your exalted progens back at any time and also 1 exalted non-progen dragon per 3 months, but you need to pay treasure for restoring the dragons.

Also, here is some more information about treasure that might be helpful, haha...




The fastest way to get treasure is actually by playing glimmer & gloom on the hard mode on the fairground games, but fairground profit is limited to 75. 000 treasure max each day.

It definitely stacks up though, so if you have the energy I'd recommend learning how to through the guide linked above and playing some hard more fairground each day ^^

For more profit than that you'd have to:
  • Play some coliseum and sell the drops there on the auction house. (eggs, runestones and swipp items tend to go for quite a sum!)

    Personally I think the ghostlight ruins is quite quick to train in and the items from there are cute in a shadow/arcane way ^^
  • Melt items you don't need at baldwin's bubbling brew on the trading post and sell those items on the auction house. (the baldwin materials you get from baldwin vary in rarity and price, so check the auction house for that: you can often sell them for gems as well on the auction house!)

    This is a reliable passive income source, though you cannot melt stacks and have to check in once a while to melt a new item. It does work with 30-min intervals though and is thus compatible with The Pomodoro Technique, which is a very efficient study method!
  • Level cheap fodder dragons in the mire with a lvl 25 mire trainer!

    Fodder dragons can be obtained from breeding cheap fodder dragons or can be bought at ~7000 treasure on the Auction house.

    You can exalt them to your deity at lvl 6-7: lvl 6 is the most efficient profit-wise, but some level dragons to lvl 8 for more profit/dragon. This will give you treasure (see how much on the Flight rising Wiki)!

    This works best if you change the coliseum settings in the coliseum to correspond to the WASD(+QE) keys and keep the battlestone order similar for your fighter dragons:

  • If there is a dominance battle going on that week, (A good pinglist is the one linked here) you could check if they have an OOFR (out-of-flight-raffle) or a public buy:

@AngelOfTheEast ~ Sorry, I missed your response somehow! Thanks for the welcome and the compliment; most of the dragons I have now are from giveaway threads.

I have to get used to keeping my fingernails short for the uke. I wasn't ever in the habit of wearing fancy long nails, but even basic upkeep of fingernail length can tend to slip my mind very easily.
