Oh I am here for that mane. 

My splurge pair made bebbies. 

#flight rising #dragon share #obelisk dragon #one parent came with shimmer but might get jaguar later on

Oh someone got the coordinate-your-eye-color memo! 

#flight rising #sunshine tert #I can work with this

My incredibly slow spotty internet versus the whole 8k players on site? AHAHHHH 

BUT love the new breed, excited to actually see what my lair spawns when the page finally loads...!!! 

#flight rising #is 8k the record for contemporary events #I can't remember what first NotN was but I don't think it was this high #this is not FRs fault my internet problems are town-wide

Earthshaker and Tidelord worked together on a new breed

Every now and then I get the itch to breed a bunch of pretty dragons. My pairs make good kids. (This is why my lair is huge.)

Hey, just listed a bunch of old accents and skincents in the auction house. Took a look at my hoard and found either extra copies or entire runs I’d forgotten to list :P oops. I’m still not making new work right now and not up for running a real thread, so they are just dropped in the AH for various (reasonable) prices. I am undercutting a couple resellers (sorry, kinda) but some are still marked up a bit from their initial run to reflect that yes, this really is the last copy I am going to sell!

I just got yet another ‘if you ever return I can totally help you price your stuff’ message on FR from an account way too old to be pulling that stunt. 

I wish I’d saved all the messages I get like that, offers on my progens (lol) offers on things I don’t even have but they assume I do, flat out cash offers for my account (lol) You can cold-ask if a dragon might be for sale for the right price but don’t spam out messages to old accounts asking for their stuff, it’s not polite and not what anyone wants to log into. 

Especially not a generic note from an account I used to know. Yeah, clearly you are totally for reals the same person as who created that account. Uh huh. 

#I am absolutely vagueing #I get these kind of messages pretty often but I kinda pride myself on keeping my lair fed and somewhat active #so a 'I see you're inactive / can I have your stuff' phish was kind of a slap #and then to look at their lair number and be like - no #I knew you once #:P #old player woes

On one hand I can understand the frustration of those with the wealth to pour into a scatter vial special eye gen one quest, but on the other hand I’m refreshing the marketplace stoked to use this currency sink for its intended purpose and put primal on my starter imp, so-  

#no I was never rich enough to do a ~gen one primal imp quest~ or whatever #also imagine how much currency this just sucked out of circulation #this is an anti-inflation feature and it's probably working quite well #I did not sell my scatters when I should have but oh well #this will bring them back down to surprise fun gimick level where they belong #flight rising

Best part of this is Luminax wandering in circles digging up patches of turf on that map, hands-down.

low quality snip but still, I am pretty excited for this pair! They won’t be ready for a few more days.

That is an astonishingly well-coordinated litter. Good job guys.

When I was still doing a lot of skin art I did limited runs because I just got bored if reprinting the same things and because it's difficult to manage a large 'store front' in the forum for print requests. And if you don't do print on demand, then you have to tie up gems in stock that might take a bit to sell. The new reprint system makes it easier to reprint and maintain stock but still its either a lot of thread management in the forum or hope someone's looking for it in the AH. With a limited run, I know I can move x prints within y time for z profit, then put it to bed and start something new. But yeah that doesn't help people on the buy side when something's been retired for two years!

I’m curious what people’s thoughts are on the benefits of making limited run accents from a profit perspective. Artificial scarcity certainly raises prices, but for accent makers with highly sought after skins would it not be more profitable to sell tons of accents at a lower price than a few at a higher markup? Note that I’m only looking at profit motives, not cases where accents are retired because it’s too difficult to keep up with orders for multiple different accents or where the accent has limited initial demand.

I have wondered this myself! Especially because resellers are a thing. I would say part of it is that they want to cultivate that exclusivity as part of their brand, though I’m interested to see what others think.

I decided to try and clear all the item den slot unlocks and I am down to less than 100 but all the present options are either gene/breed scrolls or eggs ugh. 

#whose idea was this anyway #*waits for light to get dom again in a couple weeks* #flight rising #ok to be fair one of them is a bunch of alchemy items that I can brew but still #lots of genes and eggs #is it worth it

Here’s my coli two-dragon training / grinding setup. Ignore the low health, we’ve been at it a while! First move is ridgeback buffs herself. She can then Eliminate any enemy except a boss in the mire. She eliminates one, the guardian scratches, eliminates the second, and the guardian eliminates the third. Low health because of the odd dodge, 4-enemy squad, and taking the time to build up the breath for eliminate :P (also NotN enemies are faster than the Mire average and tend to get one hit in per round) 

So: 

Move 1: Cerinthia buffs herself (30 strength buff) 

Move 2: Cerinthia eliminates one enemy (pick a physical enemy) 

Move 3: Falifrey scratches a breath enemy 

Move 4: Cerinthia eliminates a second enemy 

Move 5: Falifrey eliminates whoever she scratched. Battle over!

Hello yes I like both of these
