Playing with Veilspuns should only be attempted if you have a firm understanding of the normal rules and are looking for a considerable challenge. [/I][/quote] To play as a Veilspun is to play as a swarm. Modern dragons who attempt to take the trials as a group often find themselves becoming Wraiths or Ghouls, victims of Mother's demand for self-sufficiency. This unspoken rule does not extend to Veilspun, as their insect-like swarms operate more as a single individual than as a group. More Necromancer Veilspun lore [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3241338/1#post_3241338]here[/url]. Note: If you choose to play as a Veilspun it is very likely you will be controlling multiple Veilspun through the Necrolocke instead of one. This breed may be more time intensive on a daily basis. [columns][center][size=7][font=Lucida][color=maroon]Getting Started[/color][/font][/size] [img]https://imgur.com/hGNddSW.png[/img][/center][/columns] [LIST=1] [*]To determine how many Veilspun you will be controlling through the Necrolocke, muster resources at [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/trading/archaeology]Arlo's Ancient Artifacts[/url]. [LIST] [*] Mustering resources will generate three numbers (Pickaxes, Magnifying Glasses, and Research Notes). [*]You must choose ONE of these numbers to determine how many Veilspun will be taking the trials together. For example if you muster 2 Pickaxes, 5 Magnifying Glasses, and 7 Research Notes, you can choose to control either 2, 5, or 7 Veilspun. This choice is left up to you. [/LIST] [*]To determine your Veilspuns' eye type, you must throw that many items into Baldwin according to the normal [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/1#post_54629398]Picking Your Dragon[/url] rules. [*]You will use the same difficulty level for all Veilspun. [/LIST] [columns][center][size=7][font=Lucida][color=maroon]Eye Rules[/color][/font][/size] [img]https://imgur.com/hGNddSW.png[/img][/center][/columns] [LIST=1] [*]The majority of normal eye rules apply to Veilspun. [*]If your Veilspun has [b]Faceted Eyes[/b] they play according to special rules. [LIST] [*]A Veilspun with [b]Faceted Eyes[/b] can often determine if a dragon will pass or fail its trials in advance. [*]Once per trial, a Veilspun may 're-roll' an RNG-determined outcome, regardless of what that outcome is. 'Re-rolling' in this context may apply to Baldwin transmutations or Higher or Lower outcomes. Note that if 're-rolling' results in the same outcome, the outcome must be accepted. [/LIST] [*]Eye Drop rules apply as normal, however if you are playing with multiple Veilspun then each instance of an eye drop must be applied to an individual Veilspun. For example if you get two Familiar drops in the Coli, two Veilspun may take Goat Eyes, but NOT three. [/LIST] [columns][center][size=7][font=Lucida][color=maroon]Trial of Infection[/color][/font][/size] [img]https://imgur.com/hGNddSW.png[/img][/center][/columns] [LIST=1] [*]Regardless of how many Veilspun you're controlling, the daily Pinkerton pull will apply to all of them. If one Veilspun becomes infected, they will all become infected. [*]Conversely, an AMBUSH or bone item (if playing on Hard mode) will only apply to ONE Veilspun, with surviving Veilspun proceeding with the trial as normal. [LIST] [*]To determine which Veilspun perishes in the event of an AMBUSH, or if a bone item has transmuted to a [color=green]Green[/color] or [color=dimgrey]Grey[/color] material, you will use [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/play/higher-or-lower]Higher or Lower[/url] as a mechanic. [*]Play a round of Higher or Lower for each of your Veilspun, with the first incorrect guess signifying that Veilspun has perished. Play as many rounds as necessary to get an incorrect guess. [/LIST] [*]If a Veilspun qualifies for [b]Glowing Eyes[/b], or [b]Multigaze[/b] while playing on Hard Mode, ALL Veilspun may proceed to the next trial. Determine which Veilspun gets the special eyes by using the Higher or Lower mechanic. [*]If ANY of your Veilspun have [b]Uncommon[/b], [b]Faceted[/b], or [b]Primal Eyes[/b], their advantage applies to all Veilspun. If a Veilspun with Uncommon, Faceted, or Primal Eyes perishes during the first trial, then the advantage they confer is also lost. [/LIST] [columns][center][size=7][font=Lucida][color=maroon]Trial of Survival[/color][/font][/size] [img]https://imgur.com/hGNddSW.png[/img][/center][/columns] [LIST=1] [*]If you're playing with one Veilspun, the Trial of Survival will proceed as normal, with a Faith and Determination dragon flanking your dragon in the Coli. [*]If you're playing with two Veilspun, you will play according to the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/2#post_54629491]Hatchling-specific rules[/url], with these additional rules: [LIST] [*]If both of your Veilspun faint within a round they have died and their trials are over. Exalt the Veilspun. [*]If one of your Veilspun faints and the other survives the round, the Veilspun that fainted has become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color]. It will assist the remaining Veilspun in the Coli and now both dragons can attack. The [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color] can now faint without penalty, however if both Veilspun faint within a round than both Veilspun have perished. [*]All other rules apply as normal. [/LIST] [*]If you're playing with three or more Veilspun designate two Veilspun as support. No matter the outcome of the trials, these support dragons may only achieve the title of [color=maroon]Necroservus[/color] or below (i.e. they will never become [color=maroon]Necromancers[/color]). [LIST] [*]You may designate the support Veilspun by playing a round of [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/play/higher-or-lower]Higher or Lower[/url] for each Veilspun, with an incorrect guess signifying the Veilspun is support. Continue playing Higher or Lower until you have two support Veilspun. [*]Support Veilspun function as Faith and Determination dragons, with the exception that if they faint in a round they become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color], and may attack in subsequent rounds and faint without penalty. [*]Once a support dragon becomes a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color], you may begin assigning them Strength (STR) or Intelligence (INT) leveling points according to [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/2#post_54629491]Hatchling-specific rules[/url]. [*]If you're playing with 4+ Veilspun, each trial dragon must do their daily Coli rounds, with support dragons accompanying each trial dragon. Note that this will likely result in support dragons that are much higher level than trial dragons. Coli venues will be determined by the trial dragon's level, not the support dragons' level. [*]If all three dragons faint, all dragons have perished. If you're playing with 4+ Veilspun, create new Coli teams according to the number permutation rules given above (i.e. depending on if you have 1, 2, or 3+ Veilspun remaining). [/LIST] [*]Note that players are much more likely to reach higher Coli levels than with other breeds. Qualifying plague drops (i.e. Familiars, Apparel, etc) may not be found in the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/1#post_54629408]list of qualifying Pinkerton drops[/url].

Please post any questions in the Necrolocke thread. [*]All other rules apply as normal. [*]Any qualifying Coli drop that indicates success of the second trial applies to ALL Veilspun. [*]If ANY of your Veilspun have [b]Unusual[/b], [b]Faceted[/b], [b]Multigaze[/b], or [b]Primal Eyes[/b], their advantage applies to all Veilspun. If a Veilspun with Unusual, Faceted Eyes, Multigaze, or Primal Eyes perishes during the second trial, then the advantage they confer is also lost.

Reminder that support dragons can NOT become [color=maroon]Necromancers[/color], and should they survive they will become [color=maroon]Necroservi[/color]. [*]Difficulty rules (same as normal): [LIST] [*]Easy mode - Survive 3 rounds [*]Normal mode - Survive 4 rounds [*]Hard mode - Survive 5 rounds [/LIST] [*]If you are playing with 1-2 surviving Veilspun, the venue you fight in will be determined by RNG according to the normal rules: [LIST] [*][u]Black slime[/u] - The venue must be within three levels of your dragon’s current level. [*][u]While slime[/u] - The venue must be within two levels of your dragon’s current level. [*][u]Grey slime[/u] - The venue must be at your dragon’s current level. [/LIST] [*]If you are playing with 3+ surviving Veilspun, the venue that you fight in has Veilspun-specific rules. Throw an Apparel item into Baldwin: [LIST] [*][u]Black slime[/u] - The venue must be at your trial dragon’s current level. [*][u]While slime[/u] - The venue must one level [i]higher[/i] than your trial dragon's current level. [*][u]Grey slime[/u] - The venue must be the next [i]venue[/i] higher than your trial dragon’s current level, regardless of how many levels higher the venue is. [/LIST] [*]If your trial dragon faints at any point it has failed its third trial and has become a [color=maroon]Necroservus[/color]. Note that, unlike the normal rules, if both support dragons faint but the trial dragon survives, it has still passed its third trial and has become a [color=maroon]Necromancer[/color]. [*]If ANY of your surviving Veilspun have [b]Rare[/b], [b]Faceted[/b], or [b]Primal Eyes[/b], their advantage applies to all Veilspun. If a Veilspun with Rare, Faceted, or Primal Eyes perishes during the third trial, then the advantage they confer is also lost. [*]Eye drop rules apply as normal. Special eye types can be distributed amongst surviving Veilspun using the Higher or Lower mechanic. [/LIST] [columns][center][size=7][font=Lucida][color=maroon]Special Rules[/color][/font][/size] [img]https://imgur.com/hGNddSW.png[/img][/center][/columns] [LIST=1] [*]If at any point during the trials you receive a Shadow-themed familiar or a Shadow drop (i.e. Shadow egg, Shadow runestone, Shadow battle item, etc.) then one of your Veilspun has become a [color=maroon]Pallid[/color]. If you are only playing with ONE Veilspun then your trials end here. [*]If you are playing with multiple Veilspun, use the Higher or Lower mechanic to determine which of your Veilspun has become a Pallid. Any eye type advantages this Veilspun had are now lost. This Veilspun cannot be a support dragon in the Coli and its trials have otherwise ended. [*]From this point forward, at the start of each day, you must play a round of Higher or Lower to determine if the Pallid has passed its condition on to another Veilspun. If you fail, play additional rounds to determine which Veilspun has contracted the condition. [*]Continue playing Higher or Lower at the beginning of each day until the trials are over or all Veilspun have become Pallids.

[*]Conversely, an AMBUSH or bone item (if playing on Hard mode) will only apply to ONE Veilspun, with surviving Veilspun proceeding with the trial as normal. [LIST] [*]To determine which Veilspun perishes in the event of an AMBUSH or a bone item transmuted to [color=green]Green[/color] or [color=dimgrey]Grey[/color] material, you will use [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/play/higher-or-lower]Higher or Lower[/url] as a mechanic. [*]Play a round of Higher or Lower for each of your Veilspun, with the first incorrect guess signifying that Veilspun has perished. Play as many rounds as necessary to get an incorrect guess. [/LIST] [*]If a Veilspun qualifies for [b]Glowing Eyes[/b], or [b]Multigaze[/b] while playing on Hard Mode, ALL Veilspun may proceed to the next trial. Determine which Veilspun gets the special eyes by using the Higher or Lower mechanic. [*]If ANY of your Veilspun have [b]Uncommon[/b], [b]Faceted[/b], or [b]Primal Eyes[/b], their advantage applies to all Veilspun. If a Veilspun with Uncommon, Faceted, or Primal Eyes perishes during the first trial, then the advantage they confer is also lost. [/LIST] [size=5][b]Trial of Survival[/b][/size] ----- [LIST=1] [*]If you're playing with one Veilspun, the Trial of Survival will proceed as normal, with a Faith and Determination dragon flanking your dragon in the Coli. [*]If you're playing with two Veilspun, you will play according to the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/2#post_54629491]Hatchling-specific rules[/url], with these additional rules: [LIST] [*]If both of your Veilspun faint within a round they have died and their trials are over. Exalt the Veilspun. [*]If one of your Veilspun faints and the other survives the round, the Veilspun that fainted has become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color]. It will assist the remaining Veilspun in the Coli and now both dragons can attack. The [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color] can now faint without penalty, however if both Veilspun faint within a round than both Veilspun have perished. [*]All other rules apply as normal. [/LIST] [*]If you're playing with three or more Veilspun designate two Veilspun as support. No matter the outcome of the trials, these support dragons may only achieve the title of [color=maroon]Necroservus[/color] or below (i.e. they will never become [color=maroon]Necromancers[/color]). [LIST] [*]You may designate the support Veilspun by playing a round of [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/play/higher-or-lower]Higher or Lower[/url] for each Veilspun, with an incorrect guess signifying the Veilspun is support. Continue playing Higher or Lower until you have two support Veilspun. [*]Support Veilspun function as Faith and Determination dragons, with the exception that if they faint in a round they become a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color], and may attack in subsequent rounds and faint without penalty. [*]Once a support dragon becomes a [color=maroon]Ghoul[/color], you may begin assigning them Strength (STR) or Intelligence (INT) leveling points according to [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/2#post_54629491]Hatchling-specific rules[/url]. [*]If you're playing with 4+ Veilspun, each trial dragon must do their daily Coli rounds, with support dragons accompanying each trial dragon. Note that this will likely result in support dragons that are much higher level than trial dragons. Coli venues will be determined by the trial dragon's level, not the support dragons' level. [*]If all three dragons faint, all dragons have perished. If you're playing with 4+ Veilspun, create new Coli teams according to the number permutation rules given above (i.e. depending on if you have 1, 2, or 3+ Veilspun remaining). [/LIST] [*]Note that players are much more likely to reach higher Coli levels than with other breeds. Qualifying plague drops (i.e. Familiars, Apparel, etc) may not be found in the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/qnc/3256321/1#post_54629408]list of qualifying Pinkerton drops[/url]. The Necromancer [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/2412017#post_32545840]Lore post[/url] can be used as reference for qualifying plague drops. Please post any questions in the Necrolocke thread. [*]All other rules apply as normal. [*]Any qualifying Coli drop that indicates success of the second trial applies to ALL Veilspun. [*]If ANY of your Veilspun have [b]Unusual[/b], [b]Faceted[/b], [b]Multigaze[/b], or [b]Primal Eyes[/b], their advantage applies to all Veilspun. If a Veilspun with Unusual, Faceted, Multigaze, or Primal Eyes perishes during the second trial, then the advantage they confer is also lost. [/LIST] [size=5][b]Trial of Contagion[/b][/size] ----- [LIST=1] [*]Follow the same Coli rules for the third trial as you did with the second trial in regards to the number of Veilspun that will be playing. Reminder that support dragons can NOT become [color=maroon]Necromancers[/color], and should they survive they will become [color=maroon]Necroservi[/color]. [*]Difficulty rules (same as normal): [LIST] [*]Easy mode - Survive 3 rounds [*]Normal mode - Survive 4 rounds [*]Hard mode - Survive 5 rounds [/LIST] [*]If you are playing with 1-2 surviving Veilspun, the venue you fight in will be determined by RNG according to the normal rules: [LIST] [*][u]Black slime[/u] - The venue must be within three levels of your dragon’s current level. [*][u]While slime[/u] - The venue must be within two levels of your dragon’s current level. [*][u]Grey slime[/u] - The venue must be at your dragon’s current level. [/LIST] [*]If you are playing with 3+ surviving Veilspun, the venue that you fight in has Veilspun-specific rules. Throw an Apparel item into Baldwin: [LIST] [*][u]Black slime[/u] - The venue must be at your trial dragon’s current level. [*][u]While slime[/u] - The venue must one level [i]higher[/i] than your trial dragon's current level. [*][u]Grey slime[/u] - The venue must be the next [i]venue[/i] higher than your trial dragon’s current level, regardless of how many levels higher the venue is. [/LIST] [*]If your trial dragon faints at any point it has failed its third trial and has become a [color=maroon]Necroservus[/color]. Note that, unlike the normal rules, if both support dragons faint but the trial dragon survives, it has still passed its third trial and has become a [color=maroon]Necromancer[/color]. [*]If ANY of your surviving Veilspun have [b]Rare[/b], [b]Faceted[/b], or [b]Primal Eyes[/b], their advantage applies to all Veilspun. If a Veilspun with Rare, Faceted, or Primal Eyes perishes during the third trial, then the advantage they confer is also lost. [*]Eye drop rules apply as normal. Special eye types can be distributed amongst surviving Veilspun using the Higher or Lower mechanic. [/LIST] [size=5][b]Special Rules[/b][/size] ----- [LIST=1] [*]If at any point during the trials you receive a Shadow-themed familiar or a Shadow drop (i.e. Shadow egg, Shadow runestone, Shadow battle item, etc.) then one of your Veilspun has become a [color=maroon]Pallid[/color]. If you are only playing with ONE Veilspun then your trials end here. [*]If you are playing with multiple Veilspun, use the Higher or Lower mechanic to determine which of your Veilspun has become a Pallid. Any eye type advantages this Veilspun had are now lost. This Veilspun cannot be a support dragon in the Coli and its trials have otherwise ended. [*]From this point forward, at the start of each day, you must play a round of Higher or Lower to determine if the Pallid has passed its condition on to another Veilspun. If you fail, play additional rounds to determine which Veilspun has contracted the condition. [*]Continue playing Higher or Lower at the beginning of each day until the trials are over or all Veilspun have become Pallids. [*]Optional fun rule: After the Necrolocke is over, consider using the [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/drs/3241338/1#post_54238888]Veilspun-specific gene lore[/url] to gene surviving Veilspun based on their performance during the Necrolocke.

[indent][i]Nope, all are welcome. Playing a Necrolocke also doesn’t obligate you to get a Necromancer in the future. It can be played as a standalone game/challenge.[/i][indent] [*]Do I [i]have[/i] to exalt my dragon if/when it fails its Trials? [quote=FR Rules and Policies][url=https://flightrising.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/115004996703-Dragon-Ownership][i]We consider demanding another player not exalt, sell, breed, change any part of the dragon in question to be harassment as it is an attempt to dictate how another person plays the game.[/i][/url][/quote] [indent][i]That being said. Yes you do. [/i][size=1][i]/j[/i][/size][/indent] [*]Can I modify the rules as written to fit my particular lore or play preference? [indent][i]Yes you can, but if you're also participating in Council I ask that you don't award yourself Council points for these modified games, as it wouldn't be fair to the other participants.[/i][indent] [*]What if I miss a day? [indent][I]Necrolocke ends after 23 real life days, but the days do NOT have to be consecutive. Feel free to put your Necrolocke on pause if needed, or if you miss a day simply do not count that day towards your 23 day deadline.[/i][indent] [*]My Baldwin Cauldron is tied up with a prismatic token (or similar). What should I do? [indent][I]If you'd rather not put your Necrolocke on hold until your Cauldron is free, you could ask a friend to throw a material into their Cauldron for you. You're also welcome to post on the thread to see if anyone has a Cauldron free.[/i][indent] [*]I'm using Swipp rules. Does my sign from Mother come from the items on Offer, or the items from my hoard that I Exchange. [indent][I]If using Swipp rules, your sign from Mother comes from the items on Offer.[/i][indent] [*]I accidentally broke one of the Coli rules (i.e. attacked with a Faith/Determination dragon, etc). What should I do? [indent][I]One mistake here or there shouldn't make a big difference. You could exit out of Coli and start over for the day, or if you're really hard core you could embody the personification of Plaguebringer's Wrath and exalt everyone involved. Up to you![/i][indent] [*]Do I have to create a tracking thread/write lore to participate in Necrolocke? [indent][I]No, it's encouraged but not required![/i][indent] [*]What do I do with my trial dragon after I beat/finish Necrolocke? [indent][I]Once you've beaten Necrolocke you can [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/auction-house/buy/realm/dragons?d_body_range=156-143&d_wings_range=121-61&d_tert_range=121-87&d_bodygene=1%2C40%2C5&d_winggene=40%2C21%2C2%2C7%2C6%2C18&d_tertgene=11&collapse=1]purchase[/url]/[url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/baz/2901060/1#post_2901060]breed[/url] a [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/forums/baz/2910561/1#post_2910561]Necromancer[/url] to represent your successful trial dragon. The trial dragon can now be exalted, or, for the sake of sentimentality, it can be kept as the 'pre-trial' version of your Necromancer. The choice is left up to you.[/i][indent] [*]Can I play Necrolocke more than once? [indent][I]Necrolocke is designed to be played multiple times. Each Necrolocke attempt will earn Council points.[/i][indent] [LIST]
