[center][font=Candara][size=6]Vow of Poverty Challenge[/size][/font]
Inspired by Lunartwist's challenge [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2823806] (go click on the original thread here since Trev posts there a lot)[/url], this is a challenge to achieve a fully complete dragon (more or less) without spending a single gem or piece of gold.
This thread is essentially a tracking thread, so I don't clog up Lunartwist's thread with a bunch of updates.
[quote name=Lunartwist's Rules]
My question was: "Can I finish a dragon project without spending a single coin?" I wanted to try it out and see!
What do you mean by "finish"? Well the goal is to get a dragon that is/has:
-Fully gened
-Level 25
-Fully dressed
-A matching accent
-A bio
-A Familiar
-Fully stoned
WITHOUT paying a single treasure for any of it. Meaning I would be solely reliant on the coliseum, free raffles/giveaways, familiar boons, etc. BUT I wanted to make it even MORE challenging than just that!
The Rules:
1. All items must be gained completely by free means. Meaning I can only gain usable items from the following places:
-Free Raffles
-Giveaways
-The Coliseum
-Pinkerton
-Familiar Boons
-Gathering
2. You can only gain items from your own familiar (no using Fiona to farm stuff)
3. You can not use any excess items gained to sell for treasure or trade for new items for the specific dragon
4: You cannot accept donations from other people (with the exception of art).
[/quote]
This means whatever is gained in the Coli can only be used if it is immediately useful to fulfill one of these criteria. Anything extra that is found, any money, any goods, cannot be used by the dragon in question.
The only items that can be used are the ones given by the familiar in chests, items found in Coli, or given away on freebie threads. No donations.
