[b]Insects are swarming across Sornieth[/b], and bug-loving dragons everywhere are [b]taking advantage[/b] of it! [center][permalink][b]Click here to learn more about this update.[/b][/permalink][/center] [more] ---------- [b][size=5]Springswarm[/size][/b] [emoji=insect size=1] [b]Springswarm[/b], one of [i]Flight Rising's[/i] quarterly "micro-holidays", is in full swing! From [b]Thursday, March 7th[/b] (06:00 Server Time) to [b]Monday, March 11th[/b] (06:00 Server Time), all players will experience a couple of battle-related [b]boosts[/b]! [size=5][b]Bountiful Battles[/b][/size] For the duration of Springswarm, all [b]all Coliseum enemies will have the chance to drop insect food items in addition to their normal loot[/b]. Other site activities such as [b]gathering, breeding, bonding, brewing[/b], and [b]visiting[/b] some of the trading post dragons will also yield a chance at collecting some of the swarm! Dragon clans everywhere are taking this time to [b]stock up[/b] on ants, bees, cicadas, caterpillars, butterflies, worms, beetles, and more to keep them satisfied until the summer time. [center][item=buzzing rotwood][item=teeming loghive][/center] [size=5][b]Battle EXP Boost[/b][/size] During the event, all battles will yield [b]50% additional EXP[/b], so now is a perfect time for dragons to train. Grab your newest team and head out into battle! [size=5][b]A Swarm of Treasures![/b][/size] Dragonkind are not the only ones taking advantage of the swarm. As the forests, jungles, and fields teem with life, enterprising critters rummage through the undergrowth. A few clever species of boar add their talents to this bug bonanza, using the moss and dirt to shimmy themselves into the perfect hiding spots among the [b]newly emerged Swarm Sovereigns and Devourers[/b]. For the duration of Springswarm, the boars will [b]drop occasionally in the Coliseum and rarely during Insect Catching[/b]. The swarm companions will also drop from the Coliseum and rarely from all type of gathering activities. Once the swarms have subsided, the swarm will migrate onwards, but there's but dragons may still encounter one or two boars while [b]Insect Catching[/b]. A vista and scene have a chance to drop in the coliseum and many other site-related activities.
