[font=Garamond]Hi folks!
Time for another update!
[center][img]https://imgur.com/5aiCOwX.png[/img][/center]
[font=Garamond]Another very quiet week. The recent update was a great relief and provided me with pretty much all the profit for this week. Still, only 7 auctions sold, for a collective profit of 190 gems.

This week I have mostly been focused on hunting down the last rat boss I need for my bestiary. No luck with that (and we just breached 200 encounters too), but I did get 2 unhatched eggs during the hunt. Sadly I don't sell my eggs *tucks eggs safely away in vault*, so there's no profit there. But after more than 3 months of no eggs (or any other good drops) this was a welcome change. Still, I had been hoping for a Python gene or Eliminate stone, cause those I could sell for profit, but alas..
The raffle was rather quiet this week, perhaps also because of my lack of bumping. We did breach the half-way mark, so I hope we'll be able to wrap the raffle up in another month or so! :)

[font=garamond]Next week I'll be off of work. Finally getting some much needed rest, but I'll also be moving houses. Since food isn't selling, and I'm pretty much out of most other items worth selling, that I am willing to let go off, I have most of my hopes vested on selling some of the dragons I have for sale, the Raffle and any coli-farming I'll be able to get done. Although I am not sure how much that'll be.

[font=garamond]What will Nature's spirit familiar be?
I have already read some interesting speculation, but from the very first moment the spirit familiars were introduced, my guess is that the Nature familiar will be a stag, because of the antlers the Gladekeeper has. What do you guys think, and why?
[font=garamond]And that is it for this week. Thank you all for your continued interest and support. <3

Anyway I hope moving houses turns out well! Good luck!

[font=Garamond]A much needed break from the overly quiet past few weeks. Still not anything to write home about, but I'm happy to have finally made some sales! The bulk of the profit is from selling Fanned Cockroaches, an ingredient required for the new Swipp gene!

I've been mostly focused on the coliseum this week. I had a training service client for some treasure profit. And I also had some good drops, but I'm not 100% sure if I want to sell them. I've got a python gene and Eliminate, but I may end up using them myself or raffling them off.
Speaking off raffles.. The ticketsales somehow have nearly come to a standstill. Not entire sure why, but I hope that it'll pick up again if I can keep the thread bumped frequently.

[font=garamond]Next week is my birthdayweek, which means I'll be opening all the chests I've been hoarding the past year. Usually I don't set goals for this, just try to get as many as possible. But when I tallied my totals earlier this week, I noticed I was so close to 10k chests, I just [i]had[/i] to try and reach it. At the moment I need about 100 more chests or so, which I hope to gather before I start my opening.
In preparation of the opening, I have updated my hoard totals as well (as you can see above), cause it's always nice to see how much your hoard grows in value, in addition to the cold hard cash you get from opening chests. I will probably post a mid-week update once I've opened all the chests and tallied up the results! It'll be nice to see a bit of boost in profits after so many lousy weeks.

[size=5][font=garamond][i]Question of the week[/i][/center]
[font=garamond]What do you think of Firefly?
I'm on the fence.. As happens more often with some genes, I like the idea, but am not the biggest fan of the execution. I've also noticed that the gene isn't all that visible on some of my dragons, which is a shame.. But I guess that also means there's good potential for saving dragons with unfortunate tertiary colours!
All in all, when it comes to 'glowy' genes, Runes remains by far my favourite.
On a very important side note though, I am super happy it is a Swipp gene. Not too thrilled about it needing a gathering-exclusive familiar, that despite all my efforts I still haven't been able to catch. But coincidentally, some folks and me over in the Earth discord were just discussing the possibilities for a Swipp gene, right before the announcement went live. It's great to see more ways to obtain genes are added to the game! Baldwin, Coli, Swipp...! [s]Please don't add gathering-exclusive genes though, my luck is too horrible![/s]
[font=garamond]And that is it for this week. Thank you all for your continued interest and support. <3

I don't like firefly. Its so invisible on some colors + it sits on some spots which get frequented by a lot of popular apparel (and thats coming from someone who values still being able to see the dragons color and genes under apparel). It would have done way better as apparel.
I also dislike that it uses a gathering exclusive familiar and I am salty about the Waterway drops. I had two! stacks of those hoarded since waterway got revamped and got so frustrated after two updates that included anything but waterway drops, that I sold and converted everything last week and there is 0 reason for me to go back in the Waterway...

@
Gaia I agree with you about firefly - I think the idea is very interesting, but the way it was designed... I feel like it’s slightly underwhelming and too invisible. It’s a very situational gene. Personally, I probably will almost never used it since it doesn’t match my style :’) (btw I know I’m late but I love ur avatar XD)

It's definitely kind of underwhelming. But at least I'll finally be able to save some of my dragons with unfortunate tertiaries.

[font=Garamond]Hi folks!
Sorry to ping you all again so soon. I finally finished opening up all my chests, and tallying up the results.
[font=Garamond]I opened a total of 24 crates, 46 holiday chests, 3416 treasure packs, 5235 Rusted Treasure Chests, 883 Iron Treasure Chests and 396 Gilded Decorative Chests, for a total of exactly 10,000 openables!
[center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img][/center]
[font=Garamond]
In cold hard currency, I gained 13.4 million treasure and 8.4k gems. Additionally my hoard gained a value of nearly 5.5 million treasure, in the shape of loads of materials and trinkets, nearly 1950 pieces of apparel and 515 familiars.

On hand currency: 9.0% (+ 3.1%)

[font=garamond]Despite opening 10k chests, the item-results weren't all that impressive. The Phoenix I still needed for my bestiary, and the second I can sell for profit. The Shifting Kelpie Manes I immediately put on the Auction House to sell as well.
Perhaps it is because I'm not into apparel a lot, that the apparel that I got doesn't impress me much. I did get a handful of the newest plumage apparel, but not a lot of them. Mostly old, cheap apparel that I'll brew down for slime. Same goes for familiars.

[size=5][font=garamond][i]Next year[/i][/center]
[font=garamond]This year is the first time I aimed to hit a certain number of chests. Mostly due to the fact that I was already so close to 10k, when I tallied my chests a few days ago, I just couldn't help myself.
Of course, being as competitive as I am, I will need to beat this record next year. It'll be hard, though. I got lucky the last year with a few good trades for chests, and I doubt I will have that many rusted chests to open again.
I only have less than 20 familiars left to awaken, so most of my chests come from trades and raffle ticket payments.. My current raffle (with 3 Eliminates, Rallies and other high-demand battle stones) will probably run for about another month, maybe a bit more, depending on the ticket sales. After that, I'll need to think of another interesting raffle to host. Raffles are great, as it is both fun to give people a chance to get big-ticket items for only a fraction of the price, and it is a way for me to trade items for chests and other such items I am looking for. Something that is often more difficult to achieve in the Items for Sale forum.

Woah, 10,000 chests! If I actually had some degree of impulse control, maybe I'd get there one day too. ;)
A belated Happy Birthday to you!
As for my FR Anniversary, this year I'm hatching 100 eggs. It's my fifth year this year, and I've managed to miss the other four years... so this is kinda special for me to do. I don't tend to do anything for my birthday though, it's just not a huge deal to me overall.

Happy belated birthday!
For mine earlier this year, I finished a breeding project I'd been working on since the color wheel was released (made harder that I had to have the dragon hatch on a specific day and last year as a bunch of fails). But she's done! (I need to get her one of those shifting kelpie manes...)
For my upcoming 4 year anniversary, I'm running a giveaway on Tumblr, thought I don't have anything planned for on-site. Maybe I'll gather eggs to hatch next year, for the 5th one. :3
