Hi! So you wanna do some fun activities on Flight Rising?

Well first you should head to the Trading Post, which is the area that looks like a marketplace, but the Marketplace is where you buy things, but most people actually buy things at the Auction House, which doesn't have auctions, where you can sell things but if you want to trade things you have to go to the Crossroads, no not the place with the big crossroads drawn on it that's the Trading Post, you can't trade with other people there

not recommended for sensitive skin

what if sophie with a wool tert that they shave every couple of months so she can spin it into thread

[tomswifty-fr]

can we talk about the implications of this being a key to a forbidden portal and not just a decoration (with the right magic could it turn into something more useful?) and that there is multiple forbidden portals around sornieth and the only one we know of is our coliseum level?

they wouldn't specify forbidden portal if they didn't mean the coliseum level, how is a voidflame halo a key to opening one of these? why is it a key to opening one?

which in itself implies its one part of something bigger and that multiple of these are scattered around sornieth, I don't think anyone's ever thought about the level being a whole other world apart from sornieth.

this is clearly a puzzle piece to unlocking whatever story is being spun here, all of this could be huge site lore we're sleeping on.

Correction: canon lore is that the creatures are donating organic material, my clan will enjoy somehow spinning whole podids into Sophie's fine thread as much as they love dumping them into Baldwin's cauldron.

I love Sophie!

Glass half empty, it's a little disappointing to get a new crafting system that's just Baldwin with a new coat of paint.

Glass half full, it's not a 1:1 copy and hopefully at least the ui improvements can be ported over to Baldwin in the near future

But also we finally got those halo recolors and they're more consistently available than they would be a Joxar's so yeah I'm glad

Happy anniversary!

[tomswifty-fr]

alright alright put your hands together

for

FAT DRAGON FRIDAY

[tomswifty-fr]

i dont think we collectively talk about pearlcatcher architectural vandalism enough

[tomswifty-fr]

It's June so I am once again voicing my desire for the anniversary thing to be a farming/cooking mechanic so I can feed my dragons something more complex than just wild grass and raw grubs

[tomswifty-fr]

one week to anniversary!

Interesting little things I noticed by staring at The Spreadsheet:

Genes that every single breed has are: Soil/Loam, Fade/Blend and Underbelly

Thorns are the only line-breaking tertiary that every single Ancient has

Auraboas are the only breed without Sparkle, Cirrus are the only ones that don't have Gecko or (somehow) Stained, and Everlux are the only Ancient without Blossom

When it comes to breed-exclusive genes, Cirrus obviously hold the crown at the moment, but Gaolers are actually in the second place with 2 exclusive gene pairs (Shaggy/Streak and Phantom/Spirit) and 5 tertiaries (Pinions, Scorpion, Shardflank, Weathered, Wintercoat). ngl that tert list just makes me think how great some of them would look on other breeds

On the other hand, Sandsurges only have 2 exclusive terts (Beard and Darts) and no prim/sec pairs

Aethers and Undertides have more genes than Modern breeds (141, 139 and 133 respectively)

Despite being relatively new, Everlux have more genes than Auraboas, Dusthides and Sandsurges (also Cirrus but that one's obvious). They're only 1 gene behind Banescales

Aberrations have exactly 38 of Primaries, Secondaries and Tertiaries each

Proportion-wise, Auraboas have the highest tertiary ratio: almost 40% of their genes are terts. For Moderns, that number is mere 26%.

(bear with me on this one) Aberrations are the closest Ancient to Moderns "genetically": only 22 of their genes out of 114 (~19%) aren't also met in Moderns. I'm mainly adding this because it's amusing if you consider the Aberration lore. Gran-gran might have two heads, but we're not that different after all...
