Quests & Challenges

@Alcorin Oooh, Hakuouki... Is Shinkai that re-release with the new routes? I haven't gotten around to it myself, but that was mostly because it was localized shortly after I finished my own playthrough of the original, so I was already burnt out by that point. ^^; But it's nice to be reminded of it again!

Do you mind if I could be put on the pinglist, along with my friend Dydomio? I'm mostly interested in any Saito fluke offspring (he's my fave and I'm super happy to see you've already got a pair for him) but I'd also like to see how far this goes!

Good luck! ^^

@Azuroru yes, Shinkai is the 10th-anniversary re-release :D I do recommend reading it someday, the new routes are fantastic (especially Yamazaki and Sanan, easily in my top 3 ^^). I'm honestly stoked to have you and your friend in here, I thought that no one would be interested in a Hakuoki project... It's a tiny fandom, isn't it? ^^'

And if Saito flukes are what you want then you're in luck, because I'm going to be nesting Yusuke and Masu in two days :D I'll make sure you're the first to know when they're back~

@Azuroru @Dydomio (Hello there~ If you're confused about the ping, I was asked to put you on the list for this project ^^ Hope you enjoy~) Big update today! The project has been steadily growing for the past week, and there's a lot of things to log for me today :D First of all, Yusuke and Masu had their first nest, which produced two eggs. The results are: [i]*drumroll*[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53939146] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539392/53939146_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Pearlcatcher Female Wasp/[b]Morph[/b]/Firefly Phalto/Abyss/[b]White[/b] 1/1/[b]0[/b] = 0.(6) Water Rare [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53939147] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539392/53939147_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Pearlcatcher Female Wasp/[b]Morph[/b]/Firefly [b]Abyss/Phalto/White[/b] [b]0/0/0[/b] = [b]0[/b] Water Uncommon [/columns] ...are you kidding me. [i]Are you kidding me.[/i] Whyyyy did it have to be a girl?! D: She's almost perfect ;; Sure, her eyes are a little dark, but that's nothing that a good vial can't fix... But alas, gender cannot be fixed. Oh well. I can still get some use out of her, at least. Meet Bluejay: [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53806937] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538070/53806937_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Bluejay[/b] Fae Male Jaguar/Rosette/Ghost Phalto/[b]Phalto/White[/b] 1/[b]0/0[/b] = 0.(3) Light Rare [/columns] He was on the AH for 7 gems. True, he's basically male Masu with different genes, but breeding him with the second female guarantees right secondary and tertiary colors, so now I only have to worry about the primary and gender. Sure, it's possible that Yusuke and Masu will produce a Saito before that, but even then Bluejay was so cheap that I can easily make my money back by training & exalting him. And hey, more hatchlings = more money for the rest of the project~! Now, new pairs and AH findings - or, the reason my wallet is crying... Since last time I managed to find 11 dragons for the project, forming four new pairs for four new characters~ Let's go through them in order of characters. [i]Hijikata:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53773563] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/537736/53773563_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Etsu[/b] [b]Imperial[/b] Female [b]Petals[/b]/Alloy/Opal Fog/[b]Midnight/Mist[/b] 1/[b]0/0[/b] = 0.(3) Plague Rare [/columns] ...She's so perfect I could cry ;w; An Imperial with two correct colors and one that is but one-off from the goal, AND she has petals ;3; Can you believe that she was just 6g? Quite possibly my best find yet! But since she’s so close, I’ll be keeping her for the final pair, so no breeding for her yet. In hopes of producing a perfect partner, I’ve scourged up these two: [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53398554] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/533986/53398554_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Nobu[/b] Coatl Female Wasp/Bee/Stained [b]Mist/Midnight[/b]/Wisteria [b]0/0[/b]/3 = 1 Ice Common [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=51018526] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/510186/51018526_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Hikogoro[/b] [b]Imperial[/b] Male Starmap/Constellation/Runes Thistle/Eldritch/Purple 2/1/3= 2 Ice Uncommon [/columns] They were 80g and 25g respectively (I’m not surprised - Nobu is [i]gorgeous[/i], and if I didn’t need her for breeding she’d likely become a perma in my lair), and they have a chance of producing a little Toshi by themselves! Of course, given my experience with color ranges wider than one, it is unlikely, but could still happen! For that reason, I’m going to nest them on Shadow nests as well - y’know, just in case… They’re also the second earliest pair available to breed from now, with Nobu going off cooldown in 15 days. I can’t wait to see what they give me~ [i]Nagakura:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53732362] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/537324/53732362_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Finska[/b] Skydancer Female Savannah/Bee/Spines [b]Oilslick/Camo[/b]/Forest [b]0/0[/b]/1 = 0.(3) Light Common [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53819550] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538196/53819550_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Kanji[/b] Tundra Male Wasp/[b]Trail[/b]/Ghost [b]Oilslick[/b]/Algae/Algae [b]0[/b]/1/1 = 0.(6) Light Common [/columns] A lucky pair, those two! Considering that their range doesn’t appear to be the most popular one, it was a miracle to find those two in the AH, as the only two available dragons, of opposite sexes, and unrelated XD Hey, I can count my blessings… They cost me 12k treasure each, too, so you can imagine that I was 99% sure that they’d be siblings… Thank the Lightweaver that they’re not! They’ll be ready to nest in 17 days.

These three. I hate them so much. Do you know what it’s like to search for breeding stock for an uncommon color combo in the range that most people would consider ugly, only to be greeted with an unbred, partially gened G1, an also unbred 5-year-old, and a triple gened Gaoler? Well, let’s just say that it’s not good for your wallet… These little brats cost me 80g, 50kt, and 40kt respectively… And their hatchlings ain’t even gonna sell, because they’ll have none of the “special” traits of their parents… Someone please shoot me right now ;w; Since Itto (the one that used to be a Gaoler) has a pretty decent range, I’ve decided to throw Fiona and Asil on a nest in hopes of getting her a breeding partner. Since they can’t produce the right color combo anyway, I’m hosting them myself - they currently have two eggs (wow, [i]thanks[/i]), due to hatch in two days. They’ve better not be both females again… (Truth be told, the person running the rescue Fiona came from promised me that they’ll refund me the money if I’ll ever decide to return her, so that’s not too bad. Still, Asil and Itto owe me at least 120kt in children money >:/) [i]Chizuru:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53815981] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538160/53815981_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Kodo[/b] [b]Fae[/b] Male Basic/Basic/Basic [b]Cinnamon/Brown[/b]/Tangerine [b]0/0[/b]/2 = 0.(6) Shadow Uncommon [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53845815] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538459/53845815_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Khuprus[/b] Skydancer Female Tapir/Striation/Thylacine Sand/Tarnish/Beige 2/2/3 = 2.(3) Fire Common [/columns] Here comes the pair for the demon gal! They cost me 20kt and 11kt respectively (as Kodo used to be a Gaoler - strangely fitting, isn’t it?). You know, after I bought them I started to wonder if my scry wasn’t a little too dark in color to be a Chizuru, but then I remembered that she’s a Cinnamon roll, so it’s ok :) Yeah, not much to say about those two. Kodo is great, but the range he has with Khuprus is mehhhh… I’ll probably try and find a replacement for her later, for now their first nest is planned to be laid in 21 days. That’s quite enough time to find someone better, but we’ll see… [i]Kondo:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53912276] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539123/53912276_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Alaric[/b] Mirror Male Basic/Basic/Basic Shale/Oilslick/[b]Honey[/b] 1/2/[b]0[/b] = 1 Shadow Rare [/columns] Yeah, I went ahead and grabbed this lil’ dude for a future Kondo pair for 6kt. There are currently two female Ridgebacks (or at least there were yesterday) with close colors, but they’re expensive and I’m pretty sure none of them could actually produce a Kondo with Alaric anyway… I’m yet to decide what to do. There’s also a Bogsneak lady I’m eyeing for a future Heisuke pair, but again… Expensive. I’ll see about those later (if they don’t get bought out in the meanwhile, that is ^^’). I think that’s it for the serious updates, so to close us off I’ll show you lil’ fake achievements I made for myself for completing various steps in this project, just for fun: [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/8g1BJkF.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/C64VbCX.png[/img] [img]https://i.imgur.com/luA3JaN.png[/img][/center] I don’t know when, or even if, I’ll be able to actually use them, but hey, it’s an extra incentive to keep breeding ^^ Perhaps I’ll make more when I’m bored enough, but for now that’s it. The failed hatchling will go into the AH in 24 hours (so that people following the thread have the chance of getting her first), and the results of Asil’s and Fiona’s nest will be posted when it hatches (...obviously). Since there’ll be about two weeks of no nests after that, I’ve been thinking of maybe doing one additional update in the meanwhile, so that there’s at least one post a week… Would you guys want to be pinged for that? I’ve never done something like this before, so I’m not sure if I should ping only when there’s a nest hatched, or if nestless updates would be fine too… ^^’ See ya in the next one :D

[b]BREAKING NEWS:[/b] Local dragon breeder terrible with money and planning, buys additional project dragons half an hour after updating the thread. More at 11. So, uhh... Hi again ^^" I won't be double-pinging for this, but I've just checked the AH again and I have some news! Yes! Already... I need to learn how to plan these things out better. So! The Bogsneak I mentioned is gone :( The only dragon in-range for Heisuke is pretty far off, so I'll pass on this pair for now. But! I did make another pair for another character already! Two even! So here they are: [i]Kondo:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53951852] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539519/53951852_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Fude[/b] Coatl Female Tapir/Butterfly/Circuit Flint/Black/[b]Honey[/b] 3/1/[b]0[/b] = 1.(3) Light Unusual [/columns] I know what you're thinking: "Alcorin! That Coatl can't produce a Kondo with the Mirror you've just shown us! Were the Ridgebacks unavailable?" They were. And they still were expensive as heck. So I decided to buy her for dirt cheap 8kt. Sure, she can't produce the exact color combo for Kondo, buuuut in his case it's more of an approximation than a strict goal? Maaaybe...? ... Well, in the worst case, I'll find something better later. Whether or not she proves useful, I didn't lose much money on her, so it's not a big deal ^^ [i]Okita:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53851590] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538516/53851590_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Mitsu[/b] Gaoler Female Mosaic/Stiation/Underbelly (Gaoler) Saffron/Chocolate/Goldenrod 4/1/1 = 2 Nature Rare [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53936933] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539370/53936933_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Katsujiro[/b] Wildclaw Male Poison/Toxin/Thylacine Cantaloupe/Tarnish/Crocodile 1/2/3 = 2 Nature Common [/columns] Another pair that can't exactly produce the child I'm looking for, but in this case I'm treating those two as a narrow-down pair. One day a dragon with Orange in range is going to pop up in the AH, and hopefully I'll have a good mate ready by then... Or I'll just pair them up with one of those babs, as they're pretty close! They cost 8kt and 6.5kt respectively... Which might explain why I bought them despite not having Orange between them XD NOW I'm done updating... I think XD

@alcorin

This is really ambitious! I'm not all that familiar with the characters you're basing them on, but the dragons themselves are very pretty! May RNG smile upon you, good luck!

(I'm actually curious about how it goes, so could I get on that little pinglist too? lol)

@Wardove Yeah, I guess it is... I couldn't decide which characters to make fandragons of, so I decided to collect the whole set XD And thank you! Glad to have you on board~ [s]I'm also going to use this occasion to recommend checking out either the vn or the anime adaptation of Hakuoki, as it's pretty good, especially if you like samurai and/or vampire stuff... Just sayin' :3c[/s] @Azuroru @Dydomio Hello again! Two more days have passed and some more progress has been made~ This update is not going to be anywhere near as lengthy as the last one, but things are moving forward ^^ First, as I said before, Asil and Fiona's first nest hatched today. Here are the hatchlings: [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54007561] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/540076/54007561_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Mirror [b]Male[/b] Basic/Basic/Basic Jungle/Ginger/[b]Swamp[/b] 4/3/[b]0[/b] = 2.(3) Arcane Uncommon [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54007562] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/540076/54007562_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Mirror [b]Male[/b] Basic/Basic/Basic Peacock/Chocolate/Avocado 1/1/1 = 1 Arcane Common [/columns] ...I gotta say, I’m impressed. A male but one-off in each category, in the first nest? How is that even possible?! Now sure, the tertiary isn’t very good… In fact, it makes it impossible for offspring of him and Itto to have a swamp tert. If only he’s gotten his brother’s spot-on tertiary… But you know what? That’s ok. That’s fine. It may not be just as I’ve envisioned it, but I have a feeling that this is as good as it’s gonna get. Of course I’d prefer Sanan to have Swamp Stained, but after checking the Crying Workshop I concluded that I could settle for Avocado… But only Avocado. Well, and maybe a secondary that’s a little bit off Auburn as well (tho I’d prefer not to). I may try breeding Asil and Fiona again later, but I’m quite satisfied with what I got out of them, perhaps they’re not the absolute worst after all… The new male is going to be given the name Hokushin and nest with Itto (get it? Hokushin Itto? ...Ok, nevermind) on an Earth nest in 15 days. I hope that I’ve not used up all of my luck yet... Now for more breeding stock that I’ve bought: [i]Okita:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53913296] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539133/53913296_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Rintaro[/b] Mirror Male Crystal/Facet/Okapi Carrot/Chocolate/Goldenrod 3/1/1 Nature Common [/columns] Good news, everybody! I got a dragon with Orange in range! Yes, already!... Ok, truth be told, he was there the entire time, and I just didn’t want to spend money on him… But seeing as another dragon in this range would probably not show up in a long time, I decided to bite the bullet and spend my hard-earned 20kt on him. He’s going to replace Katsujiro in the narrow-down pair, seeing as his secondary and tertiary are the exact same as Mitsu’s (so it really wouldn’t matter if her offspring was paired with him, right?), so their only role will be to produce a daughter that could breed with Katsujiro and have offspring with Orange in as tight a range as possible. First nest (that I’m going to host again) in 14 days. I hope they’ll be as cooperative as Asil and Fiona~ [i]Heisuke:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53810282] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538103/53810282_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Yoshitora[/b] Bogsneak Female Skink/Butterfly/Peacock Flaxen/Chocolate/Azure 2/1/1 = 1.(3) Light Uncommon [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53927900] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539280/53927900_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Takayuki[/b] Ridgeback Male Jaguar/Toxin/[b]Capsule[/b] Yellow/Hickory/Robin 2/3/4 = 3 Wind Uncommon [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53996465] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539965/53996465_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Tsu[/b] Guardian Male Basic/Basic/Basic Grapefruit/Ginger/Phalto 1/1/3 = 1.(6) Lightning Common [/columns] The Bogsneak is back! Uh, perhaps? I don’t know, actually XD But I’ve managed to get started on pairs for [s]the best boy[/s] Heisuke, as fortunately this lady and two young gentlemen appeared in the AH yesterday and today~ The plan is to breed Yoshitora and Takayuki, and hopefully to get at least one daughter out of them that could breed with Tsu and tighten the range… Or, y’know, to just get a Heisuke. I wouldn’t complain about that~ They cost me 50kt, 10.5kt and 20g respectively, first nest in 17 days. [i]Yamazaki:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53878726] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/538788/53878726_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Kansatsu[/b] Spiral Male Cherub/Bee/Ghost Sky/Auburn/[b]Maize[/b] 1/2/[b]0[/b] = 1 Lightning Unusual [/columns] Woohoo, time to get started on the best ninja! ...Well, sort of started, at least. This darling little boy blessed me with his presence in the AH and a pretty dang good range, all for 24kt. Problem is, he doesn’t have a suitable partner yet… There is a lady on sale that I’m thinking about, but her range… Ain’t very good… Oh well, I’ll see about her. For now, I’m just happy to have Kansatsu around for when I do get a suitable female ^^ All right, that would be it for now. The reject Mirror is currently in the AH for a whopping 8kt (I think I’m just going to pull and exalt him tho, I doubt anyone will want him…), and the earliest next nest will be laid in 12 days. In the meanwhile I’ll try to do at least one update post, and unless someone protests I will ping y’all for it, just to remind you that the project still exists and is going places~ Maybe. Probably. See ya in the next one :D

Oh wow, you've made a ton of progress! Best of luck with your upcoming nests, I've been really enjoying reading the updates ^^

@Dydomio Thank you! I honestly didn't expect this project to progress this quickly, but it sure is encouraging ^^ I'm glad that you're enjoying my updates, I hope that this journey is going to be as much fun for you and the others as it is for me :D Thanks for keeping me company~

@Azuroru @Dydomio @Wardove Time for the small in-between update I was talking about ^^ No hatches yet, but there is some new breeding stock that I probably should log already… So, let’s do just that.

Yay! I honestly don’t know if I’m even going to need Sidhara at all, as Heihachiro and Sarah have a pretty high chance of producing a Beige/Dirt offspring, plus Cerise is pretty much as good as Berry for my needs, so I’d be willing to take a dragon with it as a tert… Speaking of, it turned out that Heihachiro was RTB when I bought him, so I immediately nested him and Sarah on an Ice nest, and they gave me… [center][img]http://flightrising.com/images/nests/6/4healthy_0dead.png[/img][/center] ...Four eggs. FOUR. That’s as much as they could’ve given me. I’m so proud of them already… This also means that a chance of getting a Souma in that nest isn’t all that bad! If I won’t get him, tho, I maybe I’ll at least be able to get a mate for Sidhara - maybe the range will be bigger, but hey, two pairs! \o/ [b]Costs:[/b] 30kt, 40g, 16kt [i]Sanan:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=53966146] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/539662/53966146_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Zenzaiya[/b] Spiral Female Wasp/[b]Bee[/b]/Spines Jade/Chocolate/[b]Swamp[/b] 2/1/[b]0[/b] = 1 Wind Uncommon [/columns] SWAMP TERT IS BACK IN GAME, BABY!!! Another unexpected godsend, Zenzaiya makes it possible for me to actually obtain the exact dragon that I want again :D It’s a shame that the other two are double basic, because otherwise I’d have a chance of breeding Bee in… Oh well ;u; Hope to breed her a good mate soon, preferably Thicket/Auburn/Avocado. Of course I’ll take what I can get, but since Hokushin and Itto have a pretty good range, I’ll try breeding them until I do get a male like that… Unless I actually get Sanan first, of course XD [b]Costs:[/b] 7kt [i]Chizuru:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54038721] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/540388/54038721_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Shotsuren[/b] Mirror Female Jaguar/Rosette/Underbelly Pumpkin/Hickory/[b]Caramel[/b] 2/3/[b]0[/b] = 1.(6) Shadow Common [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54097658] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/540977/54097658_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] [b]Sakon[/b] Skydancer Female Piebald/[b]Seraph[/b]/Thylacine Tangerine/Tarnish/[b]Caramel[/b] 2/2/[b]0[/b] = 1.(3) Plague Common [/columns] It seems like I’m having luck with spot-on terts lately! It’s the primary reason I got them for, really… Both are pretty good, so much so that I don’t know if I’ll be needing Finska at all. Maybe I’ll try to sell her, or just exalt her outright if I need space XD I’ll see. If anyone wants her, just let me know, ok?

At least now I can actually get started on Yamazaki. The chance of getting him from Katori and Ryu (:]) are slim to none, of course, so my primary conceit is to get a mate for Kansatsu… Again. Dang, I’m starting to sound like a broken record, am I not? I’m really trying to make those at least somewhat entertaining to read, but this is just the point I’m at right now...

Is this plan viable, or is there an easier route I’m not seeing? Idk man, I’m really not that good at the breeding game XD Let’s just stick to the plan and see what happens… On a completely unrelated note, I find it amusing that all dragons in the Kondo project so far are either Light or Shadow ^^ [b]Costs:[/b] 8kt, 20g That would be it for now as far as the real update goes. Masu and Yusuke are having their second nest tomorrow, then others will follow over the span of the next week. I think I’ll break the results up into two updates then, as combining them would result in a MASSIVE post, but I’ll see how lazy the future me will be XD To close us off, I’d like to share a Shinsengumi-related news story from about 4 years ago (so you might’ve heard about it already) that I found out about today and find amusing: Apparently, someone living close to the old Shinsengumi headquarters discovered a diary of their great-grandmother and, thinking it might be an important historical document, showed it to a specialist. Do you know what it was? It was a Hijikata/Okita erotic fanfiction. Yes. Really. Just think about it for a second: this woman living during the Meiji Restoration, 150 years ago, went and wrote a slashfic about two of the most infamous men of the era - and not only that, because apparently she also wrote another story about HERSELF dating Hijikata! Like, holy crap?! If that story is true, and I hope to God that it is, then I want to meet that person in Heaven, because I absolutely love her XD I STAN, I absolutely stan X’DDD [url=http://kampile.net/otaku/458/yaoi-existed-150-years-ago-a-twitter-user-discovers-an-erotic-story-about-two-shinsengumi-leaders]Here[/url] is the story itself, and [url=https://mobile.twitter.com/shipperinjapan/status/1141964558493347840?s=12]here[/url] is the tweet that brought it to my attention - check it out if you want to see fans of absolutely every piece of media containing the Shinsengumi high-fiving each other in the notes, it’s an absolutely blessed thread :’) See ya in the next one :D

We have the first wegg of the project! Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay… :/ As disappointed as I am in Hikogoro and Nobu, at least she isn’t completely useless: quite the opposite, actually. Somehow, with all of their crazy tert range, they’ve managed to produce a dragon that’s spot on on both the tert and the primary! Not to mention the secondary is but a one-off… Definitely a keeper! :D I’ll have to find mates for both her and Etsu soon… I can almost feel the little Toshi in one of them~ [i]Souma:[/i] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54394246] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/543943/54394246_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Imperial Female Starmap/Alloy/Ghost [b]Beige[/b]/Clay/Red [b]0[/b]/1/1 = 0.6 Ice Common [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54394247] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/543943/54394247_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Imperial Female Starmap/Alloy/Ghost Stone/[b]Dirt[/b]/Strawberry 1/[b]0[/b]/2 = 1 Ice Common [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54394248] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/543943/54394248_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Imperial [b]Male[/b] Starmap/Bee/Ghost Stone/Clay/Red 1/1/1 = 1 Ice Common [/columns] [columns] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=54394249] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/543943/54394249_350.png[/img] [/url] [nextcol] Imperial Female Starmap/Alloy/Ghost Stone/[b]Dirt[/b]/Cerise 1/[b]0[/b]/3 = 1.(3) Ice Uncommon [/columns] Eh, there’s a lot of hatchlings, but none really great ones… And of course almost all of them have Alloy instead of Bee, which would at least look pretty :’) Oh well.

Holy heck???? I’m so glad that I did buy Bluejay, he and Katsu absolutely nailed it on their first nest ;w; So proud… Then again, it took two spot-on colors and a one-off, which tells me that the rest of this project is probably going to be a slog… Ah, doesn’t matter! I’m just glad to have a perfect little Hajime-kun in my lair already ;w; Saito pairs are going to be retired now; if anyone wants any of them (singular or breeding pair, whatever), please shoot me a message, as I won’t be putting them on the AH. They’ll probably be exalted on the nearest Exalt Bonus day, or in a week if it doesn’t come. All of the hatchlings are, as usual, available on the AH for a week (and as always I’m willing to cut down the price if you ask~). Two down, twelve more to go… Progress is going to slow down for a bit now, as I’m becoming busy with schoolwork again, so I don’t know when the next update is going to come ;w; I’m absolutely not retiring it tho! Just be aware that updates might come few and far between from now on… Sorry TwT See ya in the next one :D
