This thread is to track any gene errors that occur with the new Soil and Loam genes released in the Fossilized Flora update.

In this thread, players may report any errors they encounter with the new genes. These can be technical errors, or consistency issues. This thread is intended to focus on these potential errors so that they can be addressed swiftly.




Please report any errors you encounter and we will do our best to correct them in a timely manner. This thread will close out 45 days after release, on January 22, 2025. After this time, players may report technical issues with these and other gene errors in the Modern Gene Error Backlog Threador the Ancient Gene Error Backlog Thread, but further consistency issues will not be accepted for review and will be considered working as intended.

Another chilling winter is about to howl across the realm and dragons everywhere are taking advantage of an unusually bountiful fishing season! Frigidfin Expedition runs from December 5-9, and brings with it many rewards!

---

Frigidfin Expedition
The Frigidfin Expedition, one of Flight Rising's quarterly micro-holidays, is in full swing! From Thursday, December 5th to Monday, December 9th (06:00 Server Time), all players will experience a couple of battle-related boosts!



Bountiful Battles
For the duration of the Frigidfin Expedition, all all Coliseum enemies will have the chance to drop seafood items in addition to their normal loot. Other site activities such as gathering, breeding, bonding, brewing, and visiting some of the trading post dragons will also yield a chance at the expedition! Dragon clans everywhere are taking this time to stock up on fishes, clams, sharks, sponges, corals, snails, shrimp and more to feed them through the winter.



Battle EXP Boost
During the event, all battles will yield 50% additional EXP, so now is a perfect time for dragons to train. Grab your newest team and head out into battle!



Furry & Finned Fishers
Dragonkind are not the only ones taking advantage of the prosperous fishing season. As the oceans, lakes, and rivers teem with life, enterprising critters rush the shores. A few unique species of beaver and newly emerged Narwin capitalize on this seafood surge, catching fish not only for themselves, but as currency in a barter system with water-faring dragon clans. For the duration of the Frigidfin Expedition, these toothy familiars will drop occasionally in the Coliseum and rarely during Fishing. The Narwin will also drop from the coliseum and rarely from all types of gathering activities.

Once the expedition has concluded, the Narwin go back into hiding, but dragons may still encounter into one or two beavers while Fishing.

A vista and scene have a chance to drop in the coliseum and many other site-related activities.

Yup.

'Hot takes' are intended to be provocative and inflammatory, most often absent of context, nuance, and experience. In other words, 'hot takes' are a form of trolling. Sure, they can be fun if we're talking about the preferred cheese on your cheesesteak or whether or not Die Hard is a holiday movie, but even then they can get personal and mean real fast.

This style of provocative posting or trolling exists on social media platforms because of algorithms, audience building, and financial incentives. Our forums are not a social media platform and has none of those. Our forums are a discussion board for our players to interact with each other respectfully when they aren't playing our game.

With that said, this thread's now locked under our Forum Etiquette rules.

Apologies, it looks like Ground and Fissure weren't activated in Glass and Gloss.

Primary Veilspun Gene: Ground and Secondary Veilspun Gene: Fissure are now available to trade at Glass and Gloss' Genuine Genes. Thank you for your patience!

I'm sorry if there was confusion about the cycled items and when they would return. The cycled items were announced 6 months ago in the last item shuffle. There are no new items added to this shuffle, so everything had 6 months notice in both last cycle, and in our events calendar. The next cycle for these items will happen on May 5th, 2025.

Flight Rising is having a Cyber Monday sale, from now until Thursday December 5th at 06:00 server time! This sale features gem bonuses with every gem purchase. Cycled items return until December 9th at 06:00! Plus new parallel genes for Veilspun dragons!

---

Bonus Gems
From now until Thursday December 5th at 06:00 server time you will receive 10% bonus gems with every purchase.

---

Marketplace Shuffle
The gem marketplace has shuffled as a hoard of cycled items re-enter it for the week. From now until Monday December 9th at 06:00 server time, these items will be available, after which they will cycle out once more:

---

Please note that the gem sale ends 4 days before the cycled items leave.

The next cycled item return will happen the week of May 5-12.

@Gene Error Updates

The following changes went in tonight:

• Primary: Caterpillar (Everlux M) - This gene was briefly displaying as Cherub, as the incorrect replacement files were uploaded in the primary mouth correction.
• Primary: Flaunt (All Everlux) - The gradient transitions were made a bit more gradual.
• Primary: Lionfish (All Everlux) - The spaces between the stripes were further apart than the modern version of the gene. They have been corrected with more spacing.
• Primary genes with open mouth: (Everlux H, M) - The tongue/mouth was not dynamically recoloring, and a correction was issued. This affected Arapaima, Bar, Basic, Caterpillar, Cherub, Chrysocolla, Criculaworm, Fade, Flaunt, Jupiter, Laced, Lionfish, Marble, Papillon, Petals, Petrified, Pharaoh, Piebald, Pinstripe, Poison, Python, Ripple, Skink, Slime, Sphinxmoth, Strike, Throne, Tiger, Varnish.
• Secondary: Lacquer (All Everlux) - The edge gradient on the wing was slightly reduced.
• Secondary: Morph (All Everlux) - More accent color gradient was added.
• Secondary: Noxtide (Everlux M) - The stripes on the back wing's "arm" were made fainter.
• Secondary: Silkspot (All Everlux) - The darker gradient was brought into the wing markings more.
• Secondary: Swallowtail (Everlux M) - The back wing markings were adjusted.
• Tertiary: Batty (All Everlux) - The inner/outer wing gradients were adjusted to be more in line with the Auraboa and Dusthide coverage of this gene.
• Tertiary: Eclipse (Everlux F) - There were some gaps along the belly that were filled in.
• Tertiary: Peacock (All Everlux) - The trailing edges of the peacock gene were made to come to a point more gradually.
• Tertiary: Runes (All Everlux) - The antennae were given a more gradual gradient fade.
• Tertiary: Smoke (Everlux H) - The chin markings were adjusted to flow from the face a bit better.
• Throne/Crown - Honeydew and Stone had the colors adjusted and reflected in the main post.

@Gene Error Updates

The following corrections went in tonight:

• Primary: Twinkle (Aether M) - Strawberry Twinkle came back from the war.
• Tertiary: Stained (All Banescale) - The teeth and tongue are no longer stained.

I made it look a little goofy to pull it off, but it now links to the bluesky profile.

Bookworm Plushie and Cartographer should no longer be meltable and Crim should no longer ask for them.

The bookworm, slink, and cape were already fixed previously!

Oh no, this is an oversight and it's on me. I've had a 'Festival Genes' document with a table listing all the breeds/genes in since we started the second year of festival genes. I've been using it to make sure that each Ancient has a similar amount of festival genes so no one Ancient is too weighted or left out. I was so focused on the balance of genes between the existing ancients and genes that it completely slipped my mind that Dusthide didn't have Rockbreaker yet.

They'll certainly be getting it next year. Apologies to our Earthy friends!

Hi @LilLegendary, we've asked that feedback regarding the Everlux be sent directly to us through Contact Us as it became clear after several days of discussion, even with a break, that the topic is too contentious for the community for a number of valid reasons. Since locking the threads, we've received both negative and positive feedback about the Everlux design and all have been documented for review for future dragon breed designs.

I'm also going to go ahead and lock this thread, as the topic and discussion are about previous forum moderation. Thank you!

@EliSendsRegards, a quick heads up that your thread title's been edited to be in compliance with our Forum Etiquette rules. Thank you!

Thank you for the report! This should be corrected.

@Gene Error Updates

The following changes went in today, and the main post was updated:

• Primary: Marble (Everlux H) - The markings on the belly bled onto the chin.
• Primary: Poison (Everlux M) - The second gradient bled onto the belly. The smaller antennae did not have an accent on the tip.
• Primary: Throne (Everlux M) - The belly diamonds on the tail had their positioning adjusted.
• Secondary: Python (All Everlux) - The large mark shaping was made a bit more irregular.
• Secondary: Constellation (Everlux F, H) - The constellation lines were moved to follow the arm of the wing.
• Tertiary: Sparkle (Everlux M) - Additional sparkles were added to the back wing.
• Throne/Crown - The marking outline color on some hues was adjusted to the below colors.
  

The intention was to have the full list of added drops, but it seems I missed adding Violet Highnoon Hank to the list. Whoops! It has been updated.

Thank you for the report. This should now be corrected, but it might take a hard browser refresh for the image to show up if your browser cached it.

We added some new bonus items that may rarely appear when you bond with your familiars in today's update!

New parallel genes for Gaoler dragons, Baldwin level 17 rebalancing, and new Hibernal Den tasks!

Skin Contest Changes
For the past decade, Flight Rising skin contests have gone up "sometime early in a month" and have ended on the Thursday before a festival. This allowed our team just two days to judge the contest before the elemental festival, which can get a bit hectic, to say the least!

We will be moving to skin contests threads being posted at the beginning of the prior festival*, and ending on the Tuesday before the festival that they're tied to. This will allow our staff more time to judge the entries, and will provide our players with a reliable time to expect skin contest threads to appear. This will not affect the Rockbreaker's Ceremony skin contest, which will still end on the Thursday before Rockbreaker's Ceremony. Crystalline Gala's skin contest will be the first skin contest to end on a Tuesday.

Rockbreaker's Ceremony Skin Contest
The twelfth annual Rockbreaker's Ceremony will begin on November 24, 2024, and we're running a skin and accent contest in celebration! Click here for more information!
