the only gen 1s i get have vomit-wothy colorings. so I just put this new pearlcatcher I hatched through the moprhology and for fun put it with crystal gene aND I MUST HAVE unfortunately the cheapest crystal scroll is 750k+ so either I (a) wait a v long time for the price to go down, (b) try to breed it into its offspring which could be a pain, or (c) save up 750k for it and then not want to spend the money bc by then i'd be close to 3 mil T and I'd want to reach that goal. so c is out of the q. but imagine if i got the crystal and then the faucet gene omg also I recently bought these two modestly pretty girls to add to my genepool! Meet Resallia, the White Iri/Crimson Shim/Brown Smoke Skydancer, and Anchaite [an-kite], the Ice Ripple/Black Current/Navy Smoke pearlcatcher (she reminds me of chinaware!)

Ugh, guys stay away from the fr forums until Monday or something. There's a lot of garbage on how Plague took second place from Arcane even though this week everybody's just profit pushing. Honestly, people are acting like we took a holiday.
And I like your new dragons Quies ^^ Very pretty

thanks Ellie!
I just stay out of dominance wars for the most part. I mean, okay, we get a title for a week, and a little extra cash, but in all honesty people blow it way out of proportions. It's okay to be spirited about your flight and would like them to win for the fun of it, but geez, don't let it take over your FR life.
oh hey, I just looked and looks like Lightning's in the lead. Surprising, we rarely go for dom and only sometimes make third place. I like to think it's because of those 4 dragons I exalted today lol

as a side note, I was browsing the AH familiar section and found like 6 hydra scorpions up for like 1k less than they sell for. So I snatched them up and made a little cash. I find HS like every other day now in my insect gathering turns. They sell for 7.5k each, too!

Omg Quies xD The highest I've gotten is half a million. Then I used it all to gene Hunter up. How did you save up until two million? I need your money saving secrets o3o

okay okay here are me secrets -every time i make over 10k i vault it. -i sell all my materials/"other" items except for one, so i always have one for crim -instead of exalting I sell my dragons, usually for 8k each (it's the middle range) -I only keep dragons that I really like; if I figure I'll never breed them then I sell 'em. -The above keeps me from having too many dragons to feed, and I rarely need to expand my lair (I've only had 4 pages for the past five months or so) -I've always got a dragon pair in the nests, even if they're a pairing I don't have high hopes for: hatchlings make good money -I rarely go to the auction house because of all the temptations -Regularly I go through my apparel/familiars/etc and if I have double of something, I'll sell it. -Familiars make more money than one would expect-- it's worth the tediousness. Since I don't care much for apparels, skins, or particular familiars, it's easier for me to save up than for someone who likes all that stuff. I've said it before, my main interest in FR is the breeding, so usually when I buy a dragon it's for the nesting purposes (with the added bonus of beauty). Take this guy, for instance: Pretty, right? He's a Crystal/Shimmer. Spent only 9k on him a few hours ago. He's my ticket into the crystal genepool. And, of course, I only buy dragons I really want. I rarely give into passing fancies or buy on whim. Usually, in fact, I'll run the dragon I think of buying through the progeny with some of my own to see what it can offer me in offspring before I buy it (it's saved me a lot, because I'll nearly buy one bc it looks nice only to find out that they don't match up well with any of my current dragons). I'm also just kind of stringy. I'll save up for something expensive, say 20k, and by the time I reach my goal I'll feel too attached to the treasure to spend it. I'm not so sure if it's greed as much as it me realizing how much work I put into the money and me suddenly realizing that it's not worth what I had planned to spend it on. And that happens over and over until I've accumulated way more wealth than I'll ever spend. That's the bottom line: I rarely ever buy anything.

Coli is actually really good at making money. You can level dragons up to level six really quickly if you have level 25 dragons, and then exalting them generally gives you about 8-9k
And your advice is really good. I don't think it would work for me though, since I tend to hoard my materials/other objects so I can mass sell them and feel good about seeing it make 100k or so cx I also get way too attached to my dragons sooo... yeah.
My fr life pretty much revolves around the coli. It's great for getting food, stuff to sell, and leveling dragons for exalt ^^

I kind of dabble off and on at the coli. Right now my highest level dragons are 14.5~ (technically only two on the team are, the other is 5; Schlitz was the third team member but I already sold her to someone here and I don't particularly want her back). So training with 25s is out of the question for me. Honestly, I don't think I'm patient enough to go through the training.

oh my gosh
Sahikar (one of my two ridgebacks) is 66 feet long, has a 64 foot wingspan, and weighs 13,906 pounds. That's longer than a megalodon, wingspan the length of a bowling alley strip, and weighs the equivalent of a T-Rex or an African Elephant (over 6 tons) He easily outstrips my guardians in size. wowzers. u go sahikar.

hey guys! :D
I'm with Ellie; most of my profit comes from Coli since i'm obsessed with grinding. It really doesn't take long to level to 7 or 8 then get 10k-12k profit. B)
Once I got to 1mil then the Arcane festival happened. yep

my fae nests seem to have this weird defect where I only ever get females

Post by Ellιє on Feb 5, 2015 21:07:39 GMT -5
One of my faes is dead set against breeding. Like, he's ready to breed, but he doesn't show up in the nesting grounds list. Good thing the character he's based off doesn't have any kids atm, and I never planned on breeding him anyways ^^
And also, tfw you can give Crim all five things that she asks for. Yes cx

That's happened to me but with coli. There's like a good half-dozen dragons in my lair that for some reason aren't options to put on my coliseum team.
