BINGO

Since this post will be current until January, thought I'd be salty/have fun with it. Let's see if we get Bingo, shall we?

People hoard like this every single year, and it's always a safe investment. You'll be fine to invest on them. or don't, and let me hoard market share

It's less bang-for-buck than flipping, but a safe minimum 50g per egg in summer, usually closer to 80-120g.

So? Someone has to be buying and hatching the eggs when the price reaches the peak.

.........well crap.

I've been doing a Gaoler breeding project with Opal specifically because the muted pastel look of one of the colors caught my eye (and by 'doing' I mean I have literally 200+ dragons in my possession for this project kill me now), never occurred to me that kind of thing could be a bug. Didn't consider any other breeds because I hate how Opal looks on almost everything but male Gaolers because of the face part, but now that I'm scrying others...yeah, it's noticeably brighter.

Still going to grit my teeth and go through with it, I've got too much time invested in this sucker now, at least I can hope I get to enjoy my goal dragon for a couple weeks or something before the shift.

This one makes another good argument for variants:

Honestly, I wish they'd do more variants because I see nothing wrong with there being differences in the breeds and genders, etc. I'd love to see more differences unique to each breed so folks have a reason to have more variety in their lairs.

thanks for the advice guys!! kinda sucks that something there's such a small chance to get naturally has practically no value but I guess the dev team just didn't want that to be a huge economy shake-up

It kind of sucks to be in the "I have a dragon project getting changed that isn't obby flair" club. Because while everyone else is screeching over flair, no one will say a word when the fix that makes me need to regene a dragon hits.

It was initially a high value, but the folks griping about eyes ruined that and brought on eyepocalypse 2.0. I love getting a primal or multi and challenging myself to make it a star.

I just take comfort in being able to make some of my oldies get gorgeous eyes now instead.

Save a screenshot of the scry, perhaps? At the very least then you'll have a copy of the art the way you like it, since there's no guarantee you can finish before it gets changed. I hope that one is way down the list of priorities though, because holy shit 200 dragons! Even my most impossible projects haven't needed that many.

fr dreams?

(Anonymous) 2021-12-31 04:15 pm (UTC)(link)
last night's dream: there was an earth player who was exalting hatchlings, like a ridiculous amount of hatchlings, enough to bring earth to the top of the dominance leaderboard, so the staff gave them a secret personal reduced percentage so earth didn't get dominance twice in a row. they found out about this, and there was so much discourse.

jfc, you have my sincerest condolences

Absolutely have done, yeah, and I'll park it in the bio of eventual result dragon if it comes to that. Better than nothing.

Not an unthinkable amount of dragons by my project habits, unfortunately, especially since HDs came along. I don't have a lot of permas, but it would be nice to have all that space for fodder. But I breed for genes as well as color, and if I want eye color outside my flight (which of course I do for this one), you pretty much need identical unrelated parents, since getting lucky once isn't enough.

(And this project is harder than most, of course, because of more limited bloodline pool - at least with WC/Coatl projects you've got the other breed for relief.)

Sympathies to you as well - and yeah, it's handy to be part of critical mass on something like this.

Thanks. Breeding projects are a lot of work but usually so satisfying when they're done, so the prospect of just being relieved this one is finally over, when the time comes, is rather a letdown.

How many eggs are you planning on hoarding this year? For me, I'm guessing about 600

(Anonymous) 2022-01-01 12:37 am (UTC)(link)
Told myself zero, currently sitting at 1,891. It's an uncontrollable compulsion to build wealth at this point, I swear, please send help (no actually, please send help, I literally can't control the impulse and I want to be done with this site).

....more on topic, guessing I'll probably end just over 2k.

sometimes the joke answers are truly funny, i'll give them that

here i was satisfied at 100, gotta go grind more chests

(Anonymous) 2022-01-01 02:45 am (UTC)(link)
i bought most of them

(Anonymous) 2022-01-01 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
1450 atm. And I feel ya. I half-jokingly think that if I ever got hacked, it'd feel like the universe sending me an 'okay, done with this site now' nod that wouldn't happen for any other reason.

But on the other hand, especially recently, I've gone through plenty of periods of letting my well-fed lapse because RL stuff was happening and I just couldn't be bothered to think about FR often enough. So I don't think 'retiring' will actually be that hard when I've got less time to spend here.

(Anonymous) 2022-01-01 05:42 am (UTC)(link)
aiming for 200ish, sitting at 140 - i got 100 within the first 3 days so i thought I'd be able to get closer to 300 but i couldn't keep the energy up haha

now it's just a battle to not hatch them until may

(Anonymous) 2022-01-01 05:45 am (UTC)(link)
this thread making me feel like a peasant for having only 46 atm... though tbf, I haven't been buying them from the AH, just getting them from chests, and I haven't spent all that much time in the coli yet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

(Anonymous) 2022-01-01 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
i've got a whopping five if that makes you feel better, lmao
