[center][b][size=5]Prizes![/size][/b] more to be added as the week goes on[/center] [quote name="Familiars"] One of the best features of Flight Rising! Familiars are the constant companion of dragons, and stick by their side at all times. Once a familiar is assigned to a dragon, you can click the heart next to them and bond with the familiar once a day! Bonding rewards you with chests each time the heart bar is filled up! Familiars can be obtained through the Coliseum, in the Marketplace, Auction House, or through chests. [quote name="Prize x4"] [center] pick three! [item=pyswurm] [item=blooming strangler] [item=sunspot clouddancer] [item=squall rasa] [/center] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Rare Familiars"]Although most familiars are easily obtainable, there are lots that take a bit more work! These include Kickstarter familiars (given out to people who backed the Flight Rising Kickstarter way back in 2013), gem familiars, which can be bought in the gem marketplace, and elemental holiday familiars, obtainable only during flight holidays or on the Auction House. This list also includes gathering familiars, ones you can only get from a gathering category. [quote name="Prize 1"m - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 2 - CLAIMED ] [/quote] [center]only obtainable through scavenging or on the AH[/center] [/quote] [quote name="Apparel and Accents"] Dragon apparel and accents are one of the most important and accessible features of Flight Rising. Apparel gives your dragon character, and can make them look like anything from a crazy cat lady to pampered nobility. Accents and skins are abit harder to find, but they give your dragons a special uniqueness that apparel just can't add. [quote name="Prize 1 - Pastel Perfect - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 2 - Burnished Set CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 3 - Lots of Stuff!"] [center]pick six! ALL TAKEN [/quote] [quote name="Prize 4 - Lots of Skins! - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Popular Apparel"]Some apparel is much more popular and sought after than others. Among those are the Sylvan sets, Silk sets, and gem-purchased swords. [quote name="Prize 1 - Celadon Silks - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 2 - Wing Silks - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Custom Accent - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Achievements!"] As you've already gotten one by now for making you lair, you'll know that achievements are points earned by completing certain tasks around Flight Rising! You can see how many points you have as indicated by the star in your user profile, and click on the same star to view all possible achievements. [quote name="Prize - Worth Something Someday - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Vistas!"] Until recently, vistas were only obtainable from winning contests on FR. Now they're available in the treasure and gem marketplace, from Swipp, Baldwin, and being dropped in the coliseum! [quote name="Prize - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="XXX Dragons"] These dragons, sometimes called triples, are ones that have all three genes of the same color. Lots of players collect them, and some XXX dragons are more expensive than others due to the rarity of the colors. [quote name="Prize - Royalty - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="XYY and Other Combinations"] Like XXX dragons, XYY refers to the color pattern of a dragon. These dergs are occasionally called doubles because they have two of the same colors - this includes XXY and XYX, which both also have two of the same colors. Sometimes these dragons are more sought after than XXX's since their two matching colors can have a nice contrast or theme with the third color. [quote name="Prize 1 - Pearl - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 2 - Platinum - CLAIMED"] [quote name="Prize 3 - Amethyst"] [b]donated by Hiame! ♥[/b] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 4 - Forest - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 5 - White - CLAIMED"] [b]donated by Hiame! ♥[/b] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Old Dragons"] Flight Rising has been around for three and a half years! Because of that, there's some really old dragons around. Every dragon has its own unique ID; this is what number it is. The dragon with ID number 1 is the Earthshaker, signifying he was the first dragon on this site. Because of how many dragons are born everyday, dragon ID's are currently into 8 digits - that equals more than 10 million dragons! Older dragons, atleast 2 years old, are 7 digits, and 3 years old are some 7 digits and below. The lower digit the ID is, the more the dragon is worth! 6 digits currently sell for anywhere from 200-3000 gems. [quote name="Prize 1 - 7 digit - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 2 - 7 digit -CLAIMED"] [center] [b]donated by the lovely Ratiasu![/b] [/center] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Gem Gene Dragons"] Gems genes can only be purchased with Flight Rising's premium currency, gems. They can be bought through the gem marketplace along with other gems items. These are considered rare genes, since they have the lowest chance of being passed onto offspring when compared to basic or treasure genes. When gem-gened dragons are bred with each other they have either 100% or 50% chance of being passed down. Even though they're considered rare through breeding, gem genes are not in fact rate among the dragon population. Most gem-gened dragons are down to affordable prices in the AH after 3-5 months of the gene's release. All current gem genes include iridescent, shimmer, crystal, facet, circuit, glimmer, butterfly, petals, and stained, along with the newest two, metallics and alloy. [quote name="Prize 1 - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 3 - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Prize 4 - CLAIMED"] [b]donated by Hiame! ♥[/b] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Gen One Dragons and Eggs"] Gen one dragons are extremely popular among players since they have no messy family tree. What's a gen one you ask? It's a dragon with no parents, like the two you started out with. Other than making your progen dragons when you first start your account, the only other way to get gen ones is to find unhatched eggs! You can do this by scavenging in any flight territory, and of your lucky enough, you'll find an egg in the corresponding element. All gen one's start out with basic genes, so most people make it a long term project to buy gene scrolls for them. [quote name="Prize 1"] [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?dragon=28457673] [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/284577/28457673_350.png[/img] [/url] Male Tundra [/quote] [quote name="Prize 2 - CLAIMED "] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Baldwin's Bubbling Brew"] As you may have already found out, under the 'Trading Post' section of Flight Rising there's lots of activities fro you to do! One of my personal favorite is Baldwin's, an alchemy place where, with the help of the the aforementioned dragon, you can make lots of cool stuff! This includes familiars, exclusive apparel, and even dragon eggs and genes! [quote name="Prize - Brewing Materials - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Swipp's Swapp Stand!"] Along with Baldwin's, Swipp's stand is my favorite Trading Post activity! Here, you can turn in certain items (some are pretty hard to get) and get pretty rare and expensive items in exchange that are exclusive to the Swapp stand! [quote name="Swappin' Materials - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Coliseum Team"]A coliseum team is a group of three dragons that take on enemies in coliseum venues. Enemies drop trinkets, food items, battle stones, or rare drops like eggs and forum vistas. During Flight Holidays, they can also drop the holiday currency. Many players use the colisuem as their main source of income by leveling up dragons to be exalted. See 'Taste of Exaltation' below for more details on exalting. [b]Helpful Hint[/b]; use [url=http://www1.flightrising.com/forums/gde/1040710]Culex's Coliseum Guide[/url] when making a coliseum team of your own! [quote name="Prize - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="A Taste of Exaltation - CLAIMED"]Exalting dragons is a very common practice on FR. Exalting a dragon means you can [b]not[/b] get it back, but they do leave behind treasure. The higher the level of exalted dragon, the more treasure you receive. The prime levels for exalting (with the most treasure earned and least amount of time put into it) is level 6-8. [/quote] [quote name="Flight Holidays!"]The Flight Holidays are one of the best features here on Flight Rising! There are 11 of these holidays, one in every month excluding December. Each month FR comes together to celebrate one of the 11 flights we have here, with lots of fun activities, raffles, and exclusive items! Items can bought with the corresponding flight's currency, obtained via gathering in that flight's territory or dropped by coliseum enemies of the same element. See the [url=http://flightrising.com/main.php?p=wiki&article=13]Encyclopedia Entry[/url] for more info on holiday dates [quote name="Ice Holiday - Crystalline Gala - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Shadow Holiday - Trickmurk Circus - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Wind Holiday - Mistral Jamboree - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Lightning Holiday - Thundercrack Carnivale - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Light Holiday - Brightshine Jubilee - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Fire Holiday - Flameforger's Festivale - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Arcane Holiday - Starfall Celebration - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [quote name="Plauge Holiday - Riot of Rot - CLAIMED"] [/quote] [center][quote name="Earth Holiday - Rockbreaker's Ceremony - CLAIMED "] [/quote] [/quote] [quote name="Starter Pack"] A nice starter pack for new players! Comes with essential food, some apparel and a small amount of treasure! [quote name="Prize x5"] [center] 10k treasure 1 random piece of apparel 1 rusted chest 10 pieces of each food type [item=Black Satin Tunic] [item=Rusted Treasure Chest] [item=Longneck Winter Rations] [/center] [/quote] [/quote]
