chomiji: Screen shot of my Flight Rising matriarch, Yarok (Flight Rising)

So obviously, my attempt to quit Flight Rising has failed. It doesn't take up as much of my time as it used to, though, so I guess that's OK.

Anyway, I've been trying not to buy new dragons because things are enough of a time sink as they are. Usually I just re-gene some of my existing dragons to be able to breed this season's fashionable dergs. But a pretty new tertiary gene came out, and it works best when there's a contrast between the primary and secondary genes (body/head and wings, basically) and the tertiary. I tend to go for different colors in the same range. For example, here's my lady derg Anchuelo, a Coatl dragon with Metallic/Bee/Glimmer genes all in shades of yellow and orange:

So I bought two new dragons as a pair, my usual Coatl/Wildclaw combo (these are equally rare breeds, so their offspring have an equal chance of being one or the other), both with the darkest color, Obsidian, for primary and secondary, plus a tertiary on the color wheel from pale yellow to light brown. Then I paid to add the new Filigree gene to one of them. And this is why (a preview of 4 possible offspring):

Aren't the three Filigree hatchlings gorgeous? The Opal one is pretty cute too, but not so conventionally pretty.

At least I've given up on Nikki Dress Up Queen. I was starting to have to do nothing but grind grind grind ... and it wasn't making me happy. Flight Rising doesn't actually get that much harder as you progress. I mean, if you want something that only comes as a drop from one of the 25th-level Coliseum venues, then you would need a 25th-level Coli team (three dragons) and time to grind. But most of it doesn't work that way.

If I'm willing to save all the premium currency that I make from breeding and selling dragons or brewing and selling high-level familiars, genes, or apparel with Baldwin the Alchemist, I could theoretically buy any damn thing I wanted—even the Light Sprite familiar from 2013, which is the game's equivalent of the Holy Grail—and I wouldn't have to spend anymore time with the game than I do already. That wasn't the case with Nikki, where you either had to grind away or spend actual real-world money.

So Hallowe'en is the day after tomorrow. The Flight Rising game is, not coincidentally, celebrating the Riot of Rot, the holiday of the spooky and rather loathesome (to the rest of us) Plague Flight of dragons. (There's an elemental holiday every month except December, with special activities.)

It's a good week to be selling fancy red-and-black dragons. Although I had to cut prices to do so, I managed to sell my three recent mixed-nest (two species) hatchlings. Two of them went to people who were definitely into the spirit of the season. The last one ... maybe not so much.

The three young adult sibling dragons are now named Decay, Bloodbringer, and ... Fran.

It's Monday, and I don't have my dragons to feed and fuss over! I was about to have two nests hatch, too! (One of them was Luneth and Vardina's, [livejournal.com profile] telophase!)

I haz a sad ... .

I have two new baby dragons! One is very flashy, the other rather goth:

They're both of a breed called Tundra.

With what's happening in my life lately, playing Flight Rising is one of the few things I feel like doing. I have two more clutches of eggs incubating, so more hatchlings to come.
