Hi @Nelsothy

Thanks for your report, it looks like this is probably a result of accidentally double tapping the button to claim the feat, so the 2nd tap gets an error message because it was already claimed from the 1st tap. We are working on making this situation smoother.

Hello everyone! When replying to this thread, take care to stay on topic. If you have any suggestions, please remember to post them in our Suggestions Forum!

An additional note: We confirmed when we previewed Fiona that yes, she is trans. Comments that are negative in nature or are meant to derail the thread will not be tolerated.

Fiona and her colorful menagerie have settled into the Trading Post, and she needs all the help she can get. Make friends with hundreds of familiars and complete tasks to earn rewards.

Fiona's Fantastic Familiars

The newest neighbor in the Trading Post, Fiona, is an overconfident caregiver. She's befriended just about every familiar there is, but found herself maybe just a little bit in over her head caring for their every need. That's where you come in! Stop by and lend a claw by visiting with her feisty flock by participating in two types of activities: Feats & Flattery.



Feats

Feats are familiar-themed tasks that focus on the act of reaching bonding level milestones with certain familiars to earn a special reward. Once the required milestones have been reached Fiona will allow you to claim a prize, which will generally consist of treasure rewards or in some cases, a special recolored version of the familiar type in the Feat.



Feats will have varying degrees of difficulty (they may not all require the familiars to be Awakened or they may require progress with a lot more familiars) and typically grant rewards that correspond to how tough they are to complete.

With today's launch, we have a number of feats available, and we plan to expand them over time to provide many possible ways of earning rewards.


Flattery

When you visit the Flattery page each day, you'll be met with eight random familiars, but the feature will generally prioritize familiars that you don't own, are not Awakened, or a combination of the two. While these familiars belong to Fiona, they share the bond level progress you have earned with yours. Because she's got so many to tend to, she's more than happy to have your assistance in providing some attention to them.

What makes this page interesting is that interacting with these familiars performs the same function as bonding with them on a dragon's profile... whether or not you actually own the familiar or have it paired to a dragon in your lair! This might be a little confusing at first, so we'll break it down a bit further:

• If a familiar is one you currently own and have paired to a dragon, interacting with it here will perform the normal bond function as if you had done it from the paired dragon's profile.
• If a familiar is one you currently don't own, interacting with it here will perform a normal bond function, granting you bond level progress for that familiar family without needing to have the item at all. If you were to obtain the familiar as an item later, that progress would be retained.

As an added bonus: If a familiar on this page is one you currently own and have paired to a dragon, Fiona will grant you double the normal treasure when you interact with it! Think of it kind of like the daily Exalt Bonus, but for familiars!



The goal of the Flattery page is to allow more of our community the ability to incrementally increase their bond level with familiars they may not have the ability to acquire (either through time investment, treasure, gems, or familiar exclusivity/retirement). This serves a double purpose: allowing everyone to make more progress toward feats that may feature those missing familiars, and providing another method of "filling out" the Bestiary.

NOTE: The act of interacting with familiars you don't own at Fiona's Fantastic Familiars will not give you the corresponding familiar item, and it will not fulfill the criteria necessary to give the familiar a special background in the Bestiary once you have reached the Awakened bond level with it. In order to earn the special background, you will still need to both achieve its Awakened bond level and to somehow acquire/have the familiar item.

Hello everyone! Thank you for your reports!

While we investigate, if everyone experiencing this could please do the following, we would greatly appreciate it. It'll help our investigation.

Troubleshooting Steps

1. Clear your browser's cache.
2. If that doesn't work, try accessing the site and naming a dragon in your browser's private/incognito mode.
3. If the above two steps don't work, please try accessing the site and naming a dragon on a different device.

System Information

1. Device type (desktop, mobile, laptop, etc)
2. Operating System

Trickmurk Circus Skin Contest

The seventh annual Trickmurk Circus will begin February 23, 2020, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Click here for more information!

Correct. The boss type familiars have their own chance to show up and are not affected by enemies that are placed into the regular encounter pool. Your chance at Frost Delver and Stone Borer should remain the same.

It is corrected, thank you. It may take up to an hour for our site's tooltip cache to catch up with the correction.

Also, with the flamingo and crane familiars, that's the end of the new content for this update. I'll be updating the post to no longer be a live update and doing some back end housekeeping, but that's it!

I'm going to be taking a 10 minute break, so updates will pause briefly.

The familiars you see currently are now available in the Golem Workshop. There should be a few more before the night is done!

The talented @suburbansamurai and @osiem did the artwork for this update.

These little friends now have a chance to appear in golem workshop. :)

The Golem Workshop has been upgraded with new constructs to befriend or break...

Golem Workshop Expansion

The mith engineers of the golem workshop continue to build new automatons to manage and protect their facility. Dragons who venture inside may encounter these new foes.

This is a great thread.

(casual general reminder: You can build people up without tearing someone else down. Please remember the winners are your fellow players. Even if it isn't meant to have malicious intent, calling out winning skins as disappointing can be seen and felt as calling out the artist. The thread's focus is positivity and support. Stay on topic. )

Good morning everyone! We've had to remove some off-topic posts. Please use the photoshop thread to post your photoshops so this thread can remain a discussion. If the thread derails again (fights or off-topic or non-discussion), we'll have to lock the thread. Thank you!

Hi everyone, I've removed some off-topic comments. The thread's topic is "Thoughts on Fiona." Thank you!

I know many of you are posting in good faith for constructive discussion, but I'm going to go ahead and lock this thread as I've addressed several concerns on this topic here.


If you should come across any rule-violating comments, please remember to use our forum report button. If you've used the report button but believe it's important to also contact us directly, you can reach out to us via Contact Us with your report as well.

I think this thread's run its course, and I'm locking it.

First, let people who are happy about Fiona and Scribbles be happy.

Second, gender identity is not a character or personality trait. Your identity is who you are, and this should be treated with respect and kindness. Discrimination is not welcome here.

Third, our canon is our canon, but if someone wants to head canon our characters to fit how they play our game, including Trading Post NPCs, that doesn't hurt anyone.

Finally, please keep in mind audience consent when sharing your head canons, including the 'shipping' of our characters. It's not necessary to "dial it to 11" (head canons and especially your 'ships) on our site, so to speak. If you aren't sure if it's okay to post on our website, please review our role-play policy found here for additional guidance.

She’s not removing your ability to get chests. She’s just not going to give you more chests after awakened. :) Bond away!

All right, folks. Posts have been removed in order to get the thread back on track.

Fiona is trans. We have rules about discrimination. It is not necessary or warranted to invalidate, dismiss, or otherwise comment in a manner discriminatory towards gender identity. Let people be happy.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

@aeonium and @Takato, thank you for your opinion.

Generally speaking, it's clear from this thread alone that Fiona means a great deal to many members of our community. We ask everyone to please respect that and let people be happy.

Regarding physical traits and "deformities", I should also remind everyone about our rules on discrimination, which can be found here.

1. When we say "recolored" we mean a new familiar item that shares the same base artwork (just different colors).
2. Yes, they will be randomly generated once per day.

Just a note on forum moderation, some comments that could be read as discriminating or potentially derailing, as well as the comments replying to them, have been removed.

She is.

@Laluzi

I answered this earlier in the thread, but the scenario you described would allow you to auto-complete any feats you already meet the requisites for.

@Owleics

I answered this question in this post.

@Firtarian, the Boolean will have a chance of showing up on Fiona's Flattery page.

@Kuikka

Bonding with a familiar that appears on Fiona's Flattery page performs the exact same function as would occur on a dragon's profile. That means if the act of bonding would result in a level-up and a chest, you would get that as normal.

@Yewwily

If you've already met the requirements for the feat(s), you would simply be able to complete them right away and collect your reward.
