If you were playing runestones, you don't actually get the gold until you complete the level or get a game-over. (The treasure that goes up as you make matches is an illusion.)

I just had a similar problem with Scroll of Maturity. I purchased 2 and recieved 1. Especially frustrating since this is a gem purchase...

Please contact the admin for any gem-purchase issues. We'll get you sorted out.

Akiri is currently working on the marketplace bug. Our apologies.

It should be corrected. I sent you your missing items. :-)
Guard + Anticipate?
Jun 10, 2013, 22:31:00
Forum Post | Help Center | By Undel
Any time the dragon with anticipate is attacked while anticipate is active, it generates a huge amount of breath.

Guard helps to protect other dragons by making yoru dragon sometimes jump in front of them.

The anticipate/guard combo makes for very dangerous tanks.

Swip is the same for everyone. Swip offers trades where he asks for large quantities of lesser-value items in exchange for higher-value items or things that are unique to him.

Crim offers things random to each user, and offers either 500 tr (minimum) or 2x the vendor price.

The item Ornate Porcelin Jar should be Ornate Porcelain Jar, I think. There's at least one other porcelain jar in a similar situation.

Corrected. Thank you!
I'll just add my findings here if I may. :)

This may be due to their metabolism, which is a formidable beast; The average adult mirror will consume its body weight in prey each month.

The -> the

Mirror dragons prefer to keep any combat on the ground. While not particularly agile in the air, the speed and power of a pack of mirror dragons is a force to content with.

content -> contend

Mirror "tactics" tend to be straight forward.

straight forward -> straightforward

Fixed. TYVM.

Alright, reposting here then. :D

On the Choose Your Element page for Fire, tempermental is spell incorrectly. It should be temperamental. :D

On the Custom Skins & Accents page:
Point 12: "link them to direct them to Flight Rising" -> "link them or direct them to Flight Rising"
Point 14: "You may not use skin or images" -> "You may not use skins or images"

Corrected. Thank you!
I was about to post a new thread when I saw this, good thing I was looking around first. >3>

Unless Yellow is really supposed to be 'Yella' here then it's a typo :))
http://i1161.photobucket.com/albums/q511/Shine-Hikaru/Something_zps4fb910d2.png

It's supposed to be Yella :-)

Crim just asked me for an item called a False-Peacock Qual. It said "quail" in the description, so I assume that's a typo.

Also, on the World Map, the Fire region description refers to the Firelord rather than the Flamecaller.

Quail fixed. Thank you!

Note: Firelord still needs to be corrected. I am unable to locate the file to correct it on my own. ^^ (We used to have firelord and tidecaller instead of tidelord and flamecaller. Swapped them.)

The e-mails should have arrived by now. My apologies if they have not. (If you could tell us your e-mail service, that may be helpful for folks in your situation in the future. We had to apply to get off a few black-lists!)

A few e-mail services put us directly into the spam folder. Have your friends check for their activation codes there.

If they are unable to locate their e-mails in the spam folder, have them send a message to us via the contact form. They'll need to provide their user name, e-mail address they used to sign up with, date of birth, and first and last name. One of the admin will then manually look up your activation code and pass it along.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Question on Ward and Reflect

Magical attacks. :)

Ward is dependent on the caster's stats. A percentage of their MND stat is protecting their friends.

Custom skin vs Gembond
Jun 10, 2013, 19:29:23
Forum Post | Help Center | By Undel
You can't layer skins and accents.

What you could do is make a skin with all the gembond-bits erased into so it's transparent in those places and the natural coloring of your dragon shows through. Skins can have 31-100% coverage (actually, they can have less than 30% too, but in that case you're better off purchasing the much cheaper accent.)
Am I the only one struggling...?

You might need to beef up your dragon's MND stat. It'll protect you against magical attacks.

Coliseum shoots up in difficulty at level 7, because all the enemies gain their elemental abilities at that stage. (Dragons have the ability to equip them at level 5.) Opposing elements hurt like ouch.

Refund Not Being Refunded...

Forum Post | Help Center | By Undel
Our apologies that the transaction did not go through smoothly.

We were refunding several of the google wallet borked-purchases this morning. I'm going to hazard that we've refunded you on our end, and its now in google's hands to release the money to you, which may take a couple hours to a couple days.

The contact form or messaging Akiri is the best way to get ahold of us for individual cases like this, as we may need to ask you for things like your name or the e-mail you used to pay to confirm, and we're unable to do that on a public form. If you put in a contact message you should be hearing back from us within a day.

Have a great day.

It's meditation exhaustion. Meditation is an energy builder used for casters. Since casters do magical damage, not physical, the debuff does not effect them.

It's to prevent dragons from using meditation (somethign which generates A LOT of breath) on a physical dragon. Physical attacks have much lower breath costs, and a meditate/shred dragon would have become the de-facto build.

New Gene Available: The Gembond Gene is now stocking in the marketplace. This gene applies applies a coating of rough-cut gems to your dragon's hide, displaying in the dragon's tertiary color.

New Lore - Mirror Dragons: There's a new article up in the encyclopedia detailing the life and habits of the mirror dragon.

Enemy Chests: The beastmen in coliseum now have a chance to drop a variety of container items. Inside you'll find various loot, treasure, and even gems!

Jigsaw Down: We've taken down Jigsaw in an effort to try and isolate where our server issues are stemming from. Later today Runestones will be receiving a buffed treasure output. Jigsaw is back up! Enjoy!

Google Checkout: We've been experiencing some issues with Google Checkout. Until these issues have been resolved, we've taken it down as a payment option. In the meantime, feel free to use paypal for all your gem-purchasing needs. We've corrected the issue for future purchases.

If you made a purchase through google checkout and did not receive your gems, please send a message to Akiri and we will work to straighten out your purchase.

Thank you for the fantastic response Flight Rising has received in its first couple of days. Its wonderful to see so many people playing our game. Thanks for bearing with us as we work our way through launch week stabilization.

Would you also want us to report "questionable" ads? I saw one a few months ago that was for "single ladies want you now" and had a lady lifting her skirt to show her butt.

Yes, please report ads like that.

I think I remember that one! We were on a blocking spree.

The rule is one account per person. If you and your roommate want to play, that's fine. If you create two accounts for yourself, that's not fine.
Is crossroads only for hatchlings?

I believe the only dragons you can't trade are the ones which you start with.

Correct!

And those who are currently sitting on a nest that hasn't hatched yet, as well as those who have items and familiars. (to prevent people accidentally losing their stuff.)

Swip drives a hard bargain, but some of the items he offers can be found nowhere else. The little guy is aware of this, and doesn't budge on his request.
