It might be too much of a hassle for some people but I just thought it would be a nice addition if we were able to lock dragons? Just so that you don't accidentally exalt/sell a dragon you don't mean to. I understand the whole self-service thing but even then, if your exalt cooldown is still up there's no saving a dragon you've accidentally exalted. Despite the exalt warning, a lot of us click 'confirm' reflexively, especially big dom players. Also If there was a little lock icon on the dragon in the lair screen then it would be really efficient for mass selling/lair cleanouts. So then if I were to say "make an offer for any dragon" that would easily exclude locked dragons instead of having to list certain dragons, pages, or tabs. I haven't thought of anything too complex for this so let me know why it would/wouldn't work or just your opinions on it :) EDIT: Some good responses! [quote name="Entrapta" date="2020-10-16 10:29:44" ] I would like to see this feature added. Not that I have an aesthetic reason for it but I'd like the ability for others to use. Not everyone wants to have apparel or familiars on their dragons, maybe their lore is all feral animal dragons or something. Also it can be like a marker, like someone else said in this thread. Also the invisible apparel item is expensive and not readily obtainable for the majority of players, and I do believe it is limited in stock. The locking mechanism however would be available regardless.

If FR had this feature I'd use it here as well, mostly to mark my permas, but also, you know, just in case I do a stupid. [/quote] [quote name="PersimmonBird" date="2020-10-17 21:39:41" ] Support. I'd love to be able to protect dragons without attaching junk to them just to make them ineligible for sale/exalting. I'd prefer to do that only because I WANT to and the items fit with what I want the dragon to look like, rather than being forced to throw whatever I've got on there just to prevent accidents. I'd also like to see options to lock dragons out of breeding and coli, which would all fit nicely in the customize section together.

Not to mention being a boon to users juuust starting out and still in the "every bit of treasure is precious" stage. Plus, this seems straightforward to integrate into the existing "is this dragon exaltable? y/n" code. [/quote]

Attaching a familiar or adding apparel already prevents exalting (and selling), so it's sort-of already possible to do that?

Although I know players who don’t attach familiars to their dragons, and not every dragon wears apparel

Isn't that the point of the "invisible" coat or whatever it is--to put on a dragon to keep it nekkid but unexaltable?

support. yeah you could add fams and apparel... but some aren't into it? and yeah there is that invisible thing and it is pretty cheap - but why to buy item when it could be (hopefuly) free option?
I personaly don't need such, but I think it would be nice addition

[item= the emperor's new clothes] I would like this feature added, but I wouldn’t be heartbroken if it never showed. :)

Support - but in the meantime, there are some teeny-tiny apparel pieces you can use...rings come to mind.

I don't really think this is necessary, you can already safeguard against accidental exalts but equipping apparel, skins/accents, familiars, or putting your dragons in your hibernal den.
