Hello!
I'm back from a long slumber and looking for any advice and/or friends. I have a good deal of research notes built up haha.
I have so many dragon projects and would love to see any of yours!
Outside of Sornieth im a large animal vet tech, cowboy, avid gamer, reader and mother to one.
I hope you all have a great day <3

Hi there, I’m BunnySox, I'm in Wind Flight, and a very breezy, warm welcome back to the forums & FR!!

*here's what I usually post for new-new players, but will be a good refresher for you and most giveaways and freebies also include returning players...*

There’s a lot of fun and interesting things to do here, lots of choices and activities -- you can

• buy, sell, breed, and dress-up dragons;
• create original dragon lineages and subspecies;
• enjoy amassing collectibles of all kinds;
• battle opponents in the Coliseum for training or profit

There's also a thriving arts community, dragon hatcheries, thrilling raffles, monthly festivals, role-play, storytelling…

And an amazing FR community of players!!

After you've played a bit, you'll start to discover what you love the most!!

If at first you feel a bit shy about asking for free things...no worries. FR's community is very generous and helpful to everyone, and especially new players.

We want you to stay!!! :D

Here’s a few quick tips you might find useful…

• you’ll find that you won’t need tons of money (aka ‘treasure’) right away -- there are free dragons (and free stuff) everywhere...check out the Raffles & Giveaways forums…I'll link you some personal faves below...
• give each dragon a Familiar & bond with Familiars daily, for a bit of treasure and some treasure chest rewards as they level up
• keep your dragons well-fed -- over 80% at all times -- to get your daily well-fed bonuses
• Which Waystone (Library menu, left) recommends daily activities and tasks for you, helping you remember to “do your dailies,” and explore the vast world of Sornieth
• under Library / Forums, 1st column, halfway down, are your 3 private Nature Flight-only forums. Be sure to introduce yourself to your fellow "Saplings" and see what goodies, assistance, and activities your home Flight offers their new players
  -- if you Discord, this is where you request access to your Flight’s private Discord server
• your starter or progenitor dragons arrive with all Basic genes (no patterns). If you’d like to change their look, you can experiment with every gene in Library / Scrying Workshop, or you could add Apparel or user-made skins / accents from the Auction House
• Guide to FR Abbreviations will help you understand “forum-speak”
• to reply to someone on a Forum thread, just type @username and they'll get a notification
• the geniuses at Tiny Little Questions in the Help forums save me all the time -- bookmark them, I'm serious!! xD
• in the upper right corner next to your u/n, down arrow, you'll find your Account Settings -- this is where you set up a Forum Signature, Avatar, & Vista…and also where you can Log Out

I’m a long-time player, on daily, happy to answer questions or help in any way!!

I also help a lot of new players to set up their first Coli teams, so just let me know via DM if that's something I can help you with at some point!!

Have Fun and Enjoy your Dragons!!

@feralfawn

two more important things...

1) when a player's been away a long time, things change -- sometimes a lot...

and sometimes the player themselves changes and your old lair / old dragons don't vibe with you the way they once did

---

---

old dragons are valuable and collectible now, b/c they can't be replaced once they're out of the game

FR just hatched its 100 millionth dragon in Dec 2024!!! so from here on, all dragon id #'s will be 9 digits

that makes any dragon with lower digits automatically more valuable

you can check out Galopa's Old Oaks and Old Dragon Collectors Association threads to help with your decisions, if you want to replace old dragons -- but we have so many excellent new genes, skins/accents, there's so much you can do to update them now that you couldn't do years ago

2) Louretta's Chronological Update Reference will show you EVERY update to the site ever, and get you back up to speed fast!!

Cheers!!
