nice one, grats :D
 
Lovely Snapper. o:

I usually think of them as having rocky beards. Which is why I think 'old man' snappers are really funny.
 
The pair I really wanted to breed ended up being related really far back ;-; Dangit.
but at least I have these little guys for my hatchery

Those are some seriously cute imps.

I don't understand why people say Coli is faster than Fairgrounds for getting treasure. All I get are food items that aren't worth much. Unless it can only be done if your dragons are level 25? IDK.
 
While the Fairgrounds are a much more straightforward method (play, earn money, celebrate) of obtaining treasure, Coli farming is generally faster since you get to do either or all of the following:

1. Train dragons to exalt for profit, or to help your flight during dominance pushes. There are very low chances of getting a few gems along with treasure when exalting. Trained and stoned lvl25s highly recommended for this, but not absolutely necessary.

2. Sell any valuable drops you get from Coli in the AH or forums, like Swipp items, certain familiars, apparel, battle stones, crates, even food, because they pile up. During festival weeks, monsters that correspond with the current festival's flight also drop festival currency, with which you can exchange special festival items that, more often than not, will retire and therefore rise in price over time. You also get a chance of being dropped skin or accent chests, which will also retire after the festival's over. It's better to have some lvl25s for this since you'll get more drops faster.

3. Any other drops that can't be used for Swipp or Baldwin and pretty much have no in-game use can be autosold from your hoard for a bit of extra cash.

tl;dr Yes, please get some lvl25s as soon as you can. It's a good time/money investment.
 
I'm trying to rent a Kelp Beds team from the dragon renting service for my flight, I've rented a few Mire builds but I feel like even though it will be one at a time I could get my dergs up to 25 faster that way. I really want to train up a team of three asap so I can grind like cray.

I was thinking the exact same thing as Tae last night, thanks for the info Luminescence! I only got started in the coli yesterday as the only way my PC will load it is using the safemode link. My three dregs are only level 5 at the mo and I don't seem to of gotten any drops of value so far (although the food is handy). I assumed the drops would get better the higher level the training grounds. I'll keep at it anyway!

Also a general question for everyone (and apologies in advance if it sounds dumb): I've been mucking around in the scrying workshop figuring out what I like and don't like, and I just assume that everyone else has their own individual tastes, so there's no 'good' dragon and 'bad' dragon so to speak. I'm not keen on quite a few of the genes and some of the breeds, and therefore don't want to waste time and money on having any of them in my clan. Does anyone else do this, or do you prefer to have a bit of everything?

I try to have all dragons and genes in my clan to make it more full (I dunno what the wordis at the moment xD). It gets boring seeing clans that's have a bunch of imps and they're all cryface. Some genes I don't like but there are colors that look really good with some genes so maybe just go for that?

You can always just cover it up with apparel or skins/accents
 
You grabbed a Sentry Squawker from the pile.

finally some nice stuff aside from the food lol XD
 




i think i joined the dark side aka. circuit :p couldn't resist her tho.

also about coli, it is really slow unless you were lucky as I and could get two 25's pretty easy early on.. But yeah once you get into the groove and start doing the higher levels it's more easy and fun and you get more cool stuff :3
 
Bought this little eyeburner right here.



I'm trying to find him a mate with a slightly different colors so they can make a nice variety of bebes

You've got it exactly right. : D all dragons are subjective, and their beauty is based on users' taste. I think the majority of users do this, because what's the point of having dragons you don't like in your lair, taking up space and eating all your food? Might as well get what you like, whether that's only a few genes/breeds or a little of everything. I personally have a large number of Imps and Skydancers. Some friends of mine have almost entire lairs of Coatls and Wildclaws.

It's pretty comparable to a village in ACNL. Why go out of your way to get villagers you think are obnoxious and plant flowers you think are ugly? Best to make your town what you think is most pleasing.
 
There are a few of his siblings on market with same colors, also a few Imps with same colors right meow.
ALSO bought his GF



aw yisa lisa frank dergs :D and cool i need to grind coli.

and p much @Xan... I like imps a lot because they have a classic dragon style over them, but yeah i got other breeds as well :D
 
I'm trying to level up one of my dragons to 25.
This stuff is hardcore. How do people do this? lol
 
grind like a freak til they go there C:

This, essentially.

Make your windows small so two can fit in your screen and watch a movie while you grind or something. I coli on the bus on my phone, personally, because even the most tedious tasks are interesting on the bus.

Thanks Xan and everyone for thoughts, I really appreciate it! I didn't want to miss out on any of the experience, and I'm still learning sooooo much, but at the same time I sort of want to play the game my own way. My taste is sort of wild/natural-looking, so I'm very keen on bar/vipera/clown/tiger. Fae especially I think are fantastic for those genes, I know they're one of the most common species, but they tick all my boxes! I keep frogs, axolotls and a snake in real life, and I'd love to make some similar looking dragons. Here are my two faves in my lair:



Anyway, I'm really glad I joined up, I'm having a lot of fun so far! I'm not very good at starting new things, I always find it pretty daunting, but having fellow TBTers there with me is so great!

How are you other new players getting on so far? :)
