Quests & Challenges

@cordifolium @blitzhund As a joke, (as a result of the thing with the pronounciation of Gaolers) the staff named the preview image of Banescales in the announcement: the proper pronunciation is bahneeskalay

(The staff often put in really clever and funny jokes in the names of images, so it's definitely worth checking, xD)


@cordifolium Yes, after hours of toiling away in the Coliseum during NotN, I finally got it! :D Just in time for Strawberry's breeding cooldown to end too, so the second nest of hatchies all had skeletal ^^

Those are some pretty dragons, and I love the gene plans you have for them too!


@Blitzhund; that is one fiery majestic dragon indeed! Love that plan!

The first month of the new year (and new decade) has flown by. And so it is time for another update. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Auction House Sales[/i][/center] [center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/gngO1gmBhS9na/giphy.gif[/img][/center] Where my AH screenshot at?! With NotN last month and egg prices plummeting, I figured I might as well try to exchange my horrible investment decision that is WC scrolls for a better one; eggs! As such I've been constantly retrieving any profits I have in my ledger, to buy more eggs while the prices are still low. Since I didn't want to bother you with dozens of screenshots, I didn't take any at all. That's not to say that I didn't sell anything else besides WC scrolls; I actually sold a couple of Gen1s I had trained to lv25, and the odd piece of apparel. What I do have for you, is a screenshot from after NotN. [center][img]https://imgur.com/fCWdZ4c.png[/img][/center] In terms of amount of sales, it's been an absolute recordbreaker. In terms of amount of profit, it's on par with previous years. All in all, a succesful NotN :) [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Coliseum spotlight[/i][/center] This spotlight is a combination of both NotN's and January's spotlight, so please don't be too overwhelmed with all the goodies. I actually hardly farmed this month, except for a bit during the Crystalline Gala.

[center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Other activities[/i][/center] Apart from excessive coliseum-farming during the Night of the Nocturne, I haven't done all that much on FR lately. Of course the most important thing is trying to sell my WC scrolls or swap them for eggs. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Updated totals[/i][/center] On-hand currency: 0.0% (0.0%) Hoard value: 7.8% (4.1%) Investments: 95.5.% (49.8%) Total: 103.3% (53.9%) Ok, a couple of changes. I had my initial offer from over 2 years ago set at 400kg per Imperial Scroll. But with the passing of time, that's no longer a realistic offer. I upped it to 500kg per scroll, making the new total I am aiming for 1mg. The new progress percentages now reflect that total. Additionally, as you all know, I will be using tons of gems to buy KS and alpha tester stuff (still searching for a seller for that last one) from Dappervolk once it goes live (May 2020, finally!). Taking that into account, I've put the actual progress percentage between brackets. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Plans for next month[/i][/center] I hope I can get myself to maxing out the fairegrounds again this month (I've skipped it almost the entirety of January!), and to get some farming done in the coliseum. Other than that, I just want to get rid of my WC scrolls, so I'll continue to try and sell or trade them. (Should you be interested; I'm swapping the scrolls for 9 eggs each or selling them for a plain 2000g/2025kt!) [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Question of the month[/i][/center] Fiona! A new feature for familiars! First off, I am happy to see an increase in feature development and optimisations. The Bestiary revamp was very welcome, and I love the game database. As for Fiona, I'm looking forward to the feats, and collecting the Fiona-exclusive familiar recolours. With regards to the Flattery system, I really like the idea of it, and I think it is a great way to help people in their familiar collections, especially for those really hard to get ones. But I don't think I'll make use of it. There seems to be little reward in it for people with a (near) complete bestiary. The odds of the particular familiar you still need showing up is negligible, and the double payout [i]if[/i] the familiar is attached to a dragon is not worth the hassle switching out the familars. So, what do you think? Have you been big on familiar collecting? And do you think Fiona will change that for you? That's it for now. Thank you all for your continued interest and support. <3 [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ed14j4hr5jhxspv/earthbottom.png[/img][/center] Pinglist [size=1]@SariStar @Gusted @StarlitFire @ShadowSwirl @Skorpion @Cakeless @SolusPrime379 @Tiger33621 @Shrine @ladylilitu @LightningShatter @mayanaz @Alphaeon @Tufira @Inkbrush @Iceex @PixelSpiral @Neptunite @phandalin @Katargo @GlitterDCMarvel @Kiowa @depinvenom @Hainu @pulses @CelesteNova @Wianes @boi @Youmeanies @blitzhund @megalizardon4736 @Dandie @ShianneJanelle @Lunamore @inkandbone @Cyrx @Bumpsly @Naahva @AlbinoWerewolf @buythestars @PinesAwait @echolaliate @Zac @Cotera @Jaspernoir @SpiceCookie @BerryPop @aleksey @Sealterbloind @Drakeswing @techmess @FrostDragonRose @Aersolace @TrustRae @Utahraptor93 @Featherycats @TheClassCalico @Zaharawolfkin @Jinoga @Vauvenal @take2thesky @Sawvren @smolelf @Pleasant @icecreamdude26 @Arsenic33 @AstralDragons @huskies709 @cordifolium @xiEmber @ilios @MeKat @Ilyriss @beepboopitsme

@cordifolium I share your impatience for egg prices to rise! I try not to pay too much attention to it, and let myself be surprised a few months down the line! As long as the prices are up by the time May rolls around, I am happy! ^^"

Yes, I agree; I also love the fact that new NPCs seem to have genes on them as well! While I am all for basic in my own lair, I do like the diversty and liveliness the genes add to the NPCs :)

O_O Holy smokes Gaia! Amazing Coli loot right there! But I'm glad you're so close to your goal!! [quote] So, what do you think? Have you been big on familiar collecting? And do you think Fiona will change that for you?[/quote] When I first joined FR I actually had a goal to collect each and every familiar alongside my pal @Supernova01. The ones I could collect anyways xD.... Kickstarters are out of the question. I am proud tho that I managed to collect all the Goblins and Acolytes! I even manged to save up for a Water Sprite! But I think Fiona's familiars will be a GREAT substitute for that!

Apologies for being a few days late. Today will be a rather short update, as I don't have a lot of time to write up an update, and I didn't do all that much on FR the last month anway! [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Auction House Sales[/i][/center] [center][img]https://media.giphy.com/media/gngO1gmBhS9na/giphy.gif[/img][/center] Another month without a screenshot. Like last month I retrieved all profits as soon as stuff sold, so that I could reinvest. Next month I'll have a screenshot again, because I like to have at least some on-hand currency ^^' [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Coliseum spotlight[/i][/center] Not much farming, so nothing special to share. [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Other activities[/i][/center] I luckily managed to sell my last few WC scrolls right about the time they cycled back in once again. Because I was reinvesting in eggs, I didn't invest in any of the gem items. Thanks to a fun event in the Earth flight, I was motivated to max the fairegrounds again every day in February. That was a great help. And I even levelled a few fodder, and trained a dragon for my services.

[center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/uau4yamn96qep5a/earthmid.png[/img] [size=4][i]Question of the month[/i][/center] I know I talked about Fiona last time, but she's been officially released now and I am curious; Which is your favourite new familiar? I really adore the Slight Eyewing recolour (rainbows!) How about you? That's it for now. Thank you all for your continued interest and support. <3 [center][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/ed14j4hr5jhxspv/earthbottom.png[/img][/center] Pinglist [size=1]@SariStar @Gusted @StarlitFire @ShadowSwirl @Skorpion @Cakeless @SolusPrime379 @Tiger33621 @Shrine @ladylilitu @LightningShatter @mayanaz @Alphaeon @Tufira @Inkbrush @Iceex @PixelSpiral @Neptunite @phandalin @Katargo @GlitterDCMarvel @Kiowa @depinvenom @Hainu @pulses @CelesteNova @Wianes @boi @Youmeanies @blitzhund @megalizardon4736 @Dandie @ShianneJanelle @Lunamore @inkandbone @Cyrx @Bumpsly @Naahva @AlbinoWerewolf @buythestars @PinesAwait @echolaliate @Zac @Cotera @Jaspernoir @SpiceCookie @BerryPop @aleksey @Sealterbloind @Drakeswing @techmess @FrostDragonRose @Aersolace @TrustRae @Utahraptor93 @Featherycats @TheClassCalico @Zaharawolfkin @Jinoga @Vauvenal @take2thesky @Sawvren @smolelf @Pleasant @icecreamdude26 @Arsenic33 @AstralDragons @huskies709 @cordifolium @xiEmber @ilios @MeKat @Ilyriss @beepboopitsme
