Quests & Challenges

---

I recently returned to Flight Rising and decided Breeding Challenges were a fun way to get back into the flow of things despite never completing one when I was active. I haven't been around for most of the ancient breed introductions, so they seemed like a good starting point. Plus I won't have to deal with breed upgrades and super long breeding cooldowns.

One of my main goals with this challenge is to find ancient dragons I would want to keep as permas in my lair. It's also about having fun and breeding dragons, so I might have branching lineages at some point. Hence the thread for easy tracking

Both pairs had two-egg nests, which seems to be a theme now.

Good progress for this line. She also looks a lot like her father, who I adored. Pearl Tapir is just so nice and pastel-y. Overall a very cute dragon, but not quite a keeper for me yet. ----- [center] [b]On to Line Number 2:[/b] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/78429276][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/784293/78429276.png[/img][/url] x [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/78206732][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/782068/78206732.png[/img][/url] Loreheart [color=transparent]~~~~~~~~~~[/color]Dino [/center] ----- [columns] [color=transparent]nnnn[/color] [nextcol] [b]Einiona[/b], [i]next heir[/i] Platinum Basic Lead [u]Rosette[/u] Overcast Basic [nextcol] [color=transparent]nnnn[/color] [nextcol] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/79025240][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/790253/79025240_350.png[/img][/url] [/columns] Einiona will be our heir for this line. She only got a gene upgrade for her secondary, so two more Basics to get rid off, but it's still an upgrade. Her colors also match nicely, so I'm happy with her.

But the line still moves on, so I can't really complain. ----- [center][i]I now have to just wait for my new dragons to grow up and in the meantime get over-excited looking for mates.[/i][/center]
