Dev Update: Hoard & Vault
It's that time again! Take a peek at our latest work in revamping the Hoard and Vault, including major improvements to searching, navigation, organization, and item usage.
Hoard/Vault Revamp
Today's Developer Update will focus on our revamp of the Hoard and Vault systems, both of which are receiving significant improvements from top-to-bottom!
Improved Searching and Filtering
One of the top suggestions in the Suggestions forum is a search feature in both the Hoard and Vault, as it would enable you to find easily and efficiently find items. As you may have noticed, we've implemented robust and comprehensive search options to many previous revamps, and this addition is a continuation of our long-term design goals.
So, with that said, let's get down to it! We're excited to share with you the different ways that the Hoard and Vault will soon support in narrowing down your item searching, including:
Searching for the term "slime" filters the results to only items with the word "slime" in their name.
Item Interaction Window
While the legacy Hoard allowed for simple functions for only a few types of items (e.g. opening chests, applying genes and vistas, etc.), the revamp will expand the amount of available functions you can perform on a single stack of items.
We handle this through our new item interaction window, which appears when you click on the icon for any stack of items (the term "stack" meaning anything from 1-99). Each item’s interaction window will display a custom array of buttons that will allow you to perform several actions, including (but not limited to):
You'll be able to dismiss this window by clicking or tapping anywhere else on the page.
The item interaction window for the food item Armored Catfish, showing the array of new actions that can be performed on the stack.
Opening Chests with Random Contents
To expand upon the new actions available in the item interaction window, we've made some improvements to the act of opening chests that have randomized contents.
In the legacy version of the feature, it was only possible to open these items one-at-a-time (1). In the revamp, we're increasing that count to ten-at-time (10). This should make cracking open stacks of these chests a little bit easier!
A dialog window asking if the player would like to open ten (10) Iron Treasure Chests at the same time.
Locked Items & Favorites
At the very bottom of the item interaction window, you'll notice two toggles:
Lock
This toggle will lock all instances of the item in your Hoard from being able to be sold for treasure. If you're holding onto some items for a special purpose, objective, or sentimental value, this is a great way to safeguard them. Locked items will be denoted by reduced opacity for the item container.
Favorite
This toggle will favorite all instances of the item in your Hoard. While this toggle doesn't prevent using or selling the item, it can provide you an extra way of classifying items that you like or are important to you. Favorite items will be denoted by the yellow star in the top right corner of the item container.
The location of the lock toggle on the item interaction window, as well as evidence that selling the item has been restricted due to the toggle's state.
A selection of items in the Hoard, some having been locked or favorited by the player.
Both toggles also have accompanying Quick Filter buttons in the top right corner of the Hoard that, when activated, will show you only items that have been toggled into that state.
The locked items Quick Filter is enabled, showing only those food items that have been set to a locked state.
Additional Hoard Options
In addition to everything listed above, we're launching the feature with a few expanded options that you can enable by clicking or tapping the gear icon in the top corner of the page.
Virtual Stacks
Like to keep a tidy Hoard? It will be possible to collapse identical items down into what we're calling "virtual stacks".
Even cooler, this option affects items that don't typically stack above one (1), like familiars and apparel. We hope it's useful for people who like to keep their inventory concise and orderly.
A selection of familiar items; some that have duplicates have been collapsed into "virtual stacks".
A specialized view of a "virtual stack" of plant food items showing that it is comprised of six (6) individual stacks.
Useful Items for Other Features
This next one is one we're particularly excited about. Once this option is enabled, items that have multiple important uses in other site features will have that usage case denoted at the bottom of their container in the form of colorized bars and icons. Mousing over those bars will tell you what the items is useful for.
A screenshot depicting the multiple uses for the item Sizzling Phosphorous. The colored bars and icons indicate it is useful in Baldwin's Bubbling Brew and for a Hibernal Den task.
Items Per Page
When we first developed Flight Rising, we designed a lot of our features to work well within a screen resolution that simply isn't that standard anymore. Now that mobile browsers and huge desktop/laptop monitors are commonplace, we wanted to give players more options for showing items per page.
It will now be possible to show up to fifty-six (56) items per Hoard/Vault page!
With 56 items shown per page, those that don't vertically fit on the page have been partially obscured by a gradated horizontal bar of item actions. A pair of downward arrows indicate that the player can keep scrolling to see more items.
Self Service: Item Restoration
The launch of this feature revamp will also include a brand new option in our Self-Service support menu. If you make a mistake in hoard-selling an item or multiple items, it will be possible to buy them back (for a markup) using this option.

That's all we've got to show you today; thank you for reading! We're putting the finishing touches on this feature, so look out for the Hoard/Vault Revamp launch soon!

- Opening container items
- Previewing items like familiars, apparel, skins, vistas, and scenes
- Transmuting a single item from the stack at Baldwin's Bubbling Brew (provided his cauldron is empty)
- Selling the selected item
- Selling all duplicates of the selected item, should you have more than one stack of it
- Listing the selected item for auction
- Storing the item in your Vault or withdrawing the item to you Hoard
You'll be able to dismiss this window by clicking or tapping anywhere else on the page.

Even cooler, this option affects items that don't typically stack above one (1), like familiars and apparel. We hope it's useful for people who like to keep their inventory concise and orderly.

[T] Typos MEGATHREAD!
While on Skoll's, it's just spelled "Skoll"
This should now be corrected, though it may take up to an hour for the site's tooltip cache to catch up. Thank you!
Thank you, this has been corrected!
Thank you. This has been corrected!
Thank you for bringing this up! This should be addressed when the engineers revamp the hoard!
This turn-of-phrase was intended!
Thank you. This has been corrected!
is it supposed to say yella to be amusing, or is this a typo?
It's intended, partner!
Thank you, this has been corrected. Oddly enough, it's been corrected for the second time, as it was accidentally added to Tomo's question bank twice!
I don't have the ability to change the activation text, but I have passed this on to our engineering team!
Update: this is being addressed during the hoard revamp.
Thank you. This has been corrected.
It is an error. Some breeds don't show up in clan profile notifications. This is something that the engineering team will need to correct, but likely will not happen until we revamp the clan profile page so that we're not doing the work twice! Thank you for the report.
In my hoard, I have one of ^these^ and it has some weird question mark thingy, but when I put it in code, it doesn't?
I'm pretty sure it may just be bugged for the one I have, but I have no idea-
I'm having the same problem with the Horn of Plenty. Idk if it's worth noting but this screenshot's from the coli victory screen rather than my hoard. Looks normal when linked on the forum for me too.
Edit: Well, almost the same problem? The bugged character in my case is a long dash rather than a space.
I can't get these to show up in regular tooltips, but I'll take your word for it that the coliseum is having trouble! I've backed out the space and dash that were in there and put in a fresh one. I hope this resolves the issue! It may take up to an hour for the site's internal tooltip cache to catch up. Thank you!
Thank you. These should be corrected!
Thank you. This has been corrected!
The description of coast chargers calls them Surf Strider (which is the yellow version of the familiar).
Thank you. This has been corrected!
I can't seem to reproduce this. Perhaps another admin got to it earlier?
Thank you. This has been corrected!
This has been corrected!
Missing a space between "About as appetizing as it sounds." and "(Happy 1st Anniversary, Flight Rising!)"
This has been corrected!
Thank you, this has been corrected!
"All designs are judges on a case by case basis..."
I'm pretty sure they meant 'judged' instead of 'judges' on rule 12 of the Skin Info & Rules.
Thank you, this has been corrected!
Well that's embarrassing! Sorry @tunatuna! This has been corrected.
Thank you, this has been corrected!
This Tomo question has "to" instead of "do" for "From which elemental region do fae originate?"
this still hasnt been fixed
Another case of it being entered twice into the system. One was corrected, the other not. They should both be corrected now!

In the Help pop-up thing in the Hoard, the Specialty tab is missing, and things that fall into it are still listed on Other.

I'm not quite sure if this is an actual typo, but in the Tundra's encyclopedia information, it states:
Is "climes" supposed to be "climates", or was that on purpose?

Tundra dragons who join flights in warmer climes never see their winter coats (though their summer coat is more than enough to cause heat exhaustion...

Tomo has a now outdated question about the Woodland Turkeys, which are now in the Boreal Woods year-round:
Green and White Flair Scarf has a typo in its description as compared to the descriptions of all other flair scarfs. The text at the end reads "at tails" rather than "at the tails". Here's it and another flair scarf for comparison

This appears to have been corrected? Or it's a weird typo that activated somehow. But I saw it earlier while playing in the scrying workshop, and thought I'd report it just in case. I didn't notice for a while because I was playing with her as ancient breeds, but then I went back to modern ones, I saw "Viper". Not "Vipera". No "A" at the end. For some reason.
Opening new tabs, even of the same dragons, shows it as "Vipera", as it should. So I don't know if it's still an issue or not. But like I said, figured I'd mention it just in case.

@Moonreaver, the scroll adds an artwork toggle to the dragon. It allows a player to switch a dragon's pose to the other one available for their breed, nothing more.

Monday's maintenance will take longer than usual as it's for some critical backend work. During that time we need to "pull the curtains down," so to speak. In the past that's happened when we have a big feature release or update immediately following, but that's not the case here. We want to give you a heads up now, rather than later.

New Specialty Item: Silhouette Scroll
@YareYare, the scroll adds a toggle to the dragon which allows a player to change the dragon's artwork to their desired pose. How players use it for their headcanons and lore is up to them and fully valid.

Yes, they would be able to use skins and accents that fit the other artwork variant for the breed.

New Specialty Item: Silhouette Scroll
Our newest specialty item, the Silhouette Scroll, is now live! When this magical scroll is applied to a dragon, it permanently unlocks a toggle that allows the dragon to swap between both adult artwork variants available for their breed.
Silhouette Scroll
It is now possible to swap a dragon's pose by applying our newest specialty item: the Silhouette Scroll. Unlike many specialty items, this magical scroll, once used on a dragon, unlocks a permanent toggle that allows you to swap back and forth between either variant of the adult artwork for their breed.
(NOTE: When we say "permanently", we mean it! Even if you choose to sell or trade the dragon, it will retain its Silhouette Scroll toggle forever.)
This item is now stocking in the Gem Marketplace.
The functionality this item offers has been a heavy favorite in our Suggestions Forum for a long time and we're glad to have been able to implement it.
Item Details
The first application of the item will automatically swap your dragon's pose. If you wish to swap back it back, the toggle can be found within that individual dragon's Customize page.
In order to apply a Silhouette Scroll, your dragon must meet the following criteria:
Because this item modifies the artwork of a dragon, we understand there may be potential for scamming. To counter this, we've implemented the following conditions:

The first application of the item will automatically swap your dragon's pose. If you wish to swap back it back, the toggle can be found within that individual dragon's Customize page.
In order to apply a Silhouette Scroll, your dragon must meet the following criteria:
- Dragon must not be wearing a skin.
- Dragon must not be a hatchling.
- Dragon must not be part of a pending Crossroads trade.
- Dragon must not be listed on the Auction House.
Because this item modifies the artwork of a dragon, we understand there may be potential for scamming. To counter this, we've implemented the following conditions:
- In order to sell the dragon on the Auction House, the artwork toggle must be reset to its default.
- In order to trade the dragon in the Crossroads, the artwork toggle must be reset to its default.
- In many places where the dragon and its details are shown (Auction House, Lair, Search), the Silhouette Scroll functionality will be represented by a status icon. This icon indicates that the dragon has had the scroll applied to them, not necessarily that their artwork is currently in a swapped state.

about the theme weeks...
Nope. Breed themes are popular themes.
I know hype can be fun, but when we hype/tease about a breed or feature release, we'll be clear about it. As far as Theme Week themes go, themes may complement a recent release, but they are not and will not be countdown teasers.
