So I've been gone since 2015 and checking back in here is making me feel a bit overwhelmed. Thank goodness the UI is the same but there is sooooo much new stuff to sift through.
Can you guys tell me what the biggest changes have been? Which are the major improvements and the letdowns? What are we hyped about? Are items from early FR fetching ridiculous prices now? Any advice for someone who's got some Old Wealth but isn't sure how to use it now that there's so much new stuff?

I've also just returned this year, most people are talking about ancient breeds and an unfavorable eye update most of the time. The world map just got updated, which is nice.
You might have a Vial of Scattersight in your hoard, it's very expensive now but everybody got it for free at a former date. I also had it and it was likr half the prize when I sold it.

You can check the price of things using the auction house:

It might be a good idea to not sell anything (items or dragons) until you're more sure of their value. Old festival items and low ID dragons can sell for a lot. The AH will give you a good idea of the value of most things but if you're unsure of anything or want to double check you can ask in the help center and someone will be able to give you more information:

Nothing really retires anymore so most newer items are going to be fairly obtainable without shooting up in value while you're saving up.

Rucks Welcome back! I'm still fairly new myself, but I
can tell you sprites and the old downtime fams have gotten RIDICULOUSLY expensive (source: finished my bestiary except the Big 5 and Fire Sprite recently, got a Fire Sprite on hold for me for 14kg).
As for your other questions, the biggest changes since I've been here have been several coli venue revamps/additions, new hoard organization, and new marketplace. The April Fools prank this year was pretty controversial (but I personally liked it), and scattersights have been debated for quite a while (although this isn't from my time here). I think the hype is currently focused on the potential Mire revamp and/or new Modern that's still to be announced.

I took a quick look in your beastiary, if you're interested in selling some of your old familiars the sprites and Golden Bantam Fangar are worth big money now. (the fire sprite especially - the lowest auction house is 15000g for one right now).
You should also have a vial of scattersight. This is currently worth about 1000g and is only going to get more pricey as time goes on.
You also have some 6 digit id dragons, which people will pay handsomely for if you don't like them anymore.
Major updates include:
- New Breed! We have bogsneaks now.
- We also have a new type of breed, ancient breeds. They are Gaolers, Banescales, and Veilspuns. Ancient breeds have their own breed specific genes and cannot breed with any other breed. A bane can only breed with other banes, not with a modern or a different ancient. They also cannot wear apparel. Some of their tertiary genes break the lineart, however, and look real cool.
- I would recommend playing around in the scrying workshop to see what the new breeds and genes are like.
- Color wheel expansion! There's like twice the color options we used to have! And some of those new colors do some fun things, I would rec looking at radioactive, tarnish, copper, orca, and lapis if you're interested in multi tone colors.
- Eye update! There's different eye types now. A dragon is born with a random eye type. These are not hereditary! You cannot intentionally get facet, goat, multigaze, or primal eyes. It's random, which many people find frustrating. There are also eye vials, which give your dragon as specific eye type. These eye types are glowing, common, and dark sclera, and swirl. Again, head on over to the scrying workshop to see what these look like.
- Dressing room! You can preview outfits with clothes you don't have now. You can also dress scries, which is pretty cool.
- Glimmer and Gloom! A new fairground game was introduced that lets you get 75kt in about ten minutes if you know what you are doing. There are many guides on how to do this in the forums.
- Roundsy! There's a raffle in the trading post now. Tickets cost 500t and there's some really cool and rare items sometimes.
- Fiona! Also in the trading post is Fiona, who lets you bond with familiars you don't have and gives you rewards for reaching bonding milestones with specific familiars.
- Lore! There's been a bunch of new lore released. The Tidelord is missing. Check the Encyclopedia if you're into that.
- World Map! The world map is crazy pretty now. Also you can choose where you want your lair located on your profile page.

We also have Galore in the Trading Post who gives out special items from time to time. :3

Quite a few coliseum venues have been updated (Forgotten Cave, Golem's Workshop, most recently Sandswept Delta) and some new venues have been added (Thunderhead Savannah, Redrock Cove, Forbidden Portal, Blooming Grove, Crystal Pools)

Hey, friendly reminder to drink water, stretch, and take a short break if you can. Stay healthy! Also, don't forget about any chores or tasks you might be putting off.
We've got a new lair system now, it's dividable by tabs that you can purchase and rearrange. You also have the hibernal den that you can purchase slots with items/gems instead of treasure, and any dragon inside it doesn't need to be fed, but you can't bond with familiars/bring them to coli/sell/exalt them without bringing them out of hibden first, and that puts it on a cooldown so that it cant put put back in for like 30 days.
Oh, and there's now scenes that you can use to customize the background of a dragon's page. The UI of a dragon's page also changed substantially but you probably figured that out already.

Tidelord went missing in canon back in 2018, he gone LOL
Lot of people think he will show up with a new breed (modern or ancient) but who knows.
