If you've come here looking for a bunch of coded prettiness or a bunch of lore, I hate to disappoint you, but you're not going to find it. However, if you want to follow my challenge, please do so!
Meet Cinis (latin for ash). He is the result of my breed out the basic challenge. That Challenge took me almost 2 years to the date to finish. If you're board and want to see my progression, here's where it is. https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/2812019/1#post_42024042
1. This challenge begins with the selection of your patriarch. To pick one, they must fulfill two requirements. The first, obviously, is that they have to be biologically male. The second is that he must have never been bred before now. That's it; anything else goes! He can be from your clan already, from the Auction House, have any breed / color / gene combination, be immediately RTB or not -- the sky is the limit. The one thing I recommend without a doubt is that he'd be a dragon you'd permanently keep, because you're going to have him in your hands for quite some time.
If you find that you're tiring of your patriarch's look, feel free to scatterscroll him, breed change him, or alter his genes as much as you'd like. The only thing you cannot do is replace him with any other dragons after the challenge begins.
2. Select the first mate for your patriarch. You may retrieve her over the Auction House, borrow a studette, or pick a permanent resident of your clan -- literally the only requirement for her is that she's biologically female and thus can produce offspring with him.
Note how this step says "first" mate. This is because your patriarch cannot breed with the same dragon twice across the duration of this challenge.
3. Breed them once they're both RTB and you have sufficient space! Make a note of how many children they've had and keep it. Maintaining count is key. I'd also recommend making a note of who the mate was, so that you never accidentally "double-dip."
4. When the hatchlings are born, you cannot just immediately exalt them or sell them over the Auction House. On the contrary, you must ensure every hatchling gets a long-term home. This could be anything from becoming someone else's permanent dragon to being bred at least once in someone else's lair. Either way, they need to be kept by someone for a while before being exalted or exalt-trained, if ever. If you want, you may keep any hatchlings you get as long-term residents of your own clan.
If you end up selling someone a hatchling and they change their mind and either resell or exalt it, then you are not held accountable for it; after all, the matter at that point would have been out of your hands. However, it might be wise to not sell that person another hatchling for the duration of the challenge.
5. Repeat the process from finding a new mate to sending the hatchlings off to find long-term homes until all 100+ hatchlings have found a place they belong!
I'm hoping folks will be willing to help me along and lend me their females to come to fire and spend some time with my handsome fellow. Those who are kind enough to lend me their girls will get first choice of hatchlings.
