Guides

[center][size=2]Please note that this is a constant work in progress as members switch flights and communities shift. Community contribution + suggestions are absolutely welcome, I'd like to keep this guide as up-to-date as I possibly can. Please @ping me for attention.[/size] [font=arial]Whether you're a new player and have no idea where to even begin, or you're an older member who is looking for a change of scenery, this guide should be able to assist you in making a decision. I will be covering everything from lore to in-flight communities it order to give a good understanding of what each flight is like. I am currently updating this guide with new information, but all existing information still stands!

For some players, they're happy to pick a flight based on how much they like the lore and deity of their flight. For others who are interested in becoming a part of their flight community it's a little bit more difficult because of the restricted access to private flight forums. After signing up, you have one free flight change, after that it will cost 1500 gems (the equivalent of $15 USD) and FR users will often pay this. Flight allegiance can play a huge part in your gaming experience, so choose carefully...unless you've got gems to spend.

They prefer to be unbiased and logical, revealing the nature of the world as rays of the sun’s light. Of all the dragons, light dragons are the most scholarly, holding the pursuit of truth as the highest virtue a dragon might aspire to. Scrolls and relics are their favored treasures. [url=http://flightrising.wikia.com/wiki/Light_Flight]x[/url] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Light Community[/b][/size][/center] Above all, most Light members have made the switch because of the highly desirable eye colour. The forums have been reported to be a rather slow relative to the size of the flight, but those who do participate in discussions of philosophy on top of regular discussion threads. A lot of roleplay oriented clans have picked Light as their home because of the appeal in the lore. Light members endearingly refer to each other as "Acolights" and call their deity "Glitter Mom".

They prefer to be capricious and fickle, like the flickering shadows they manipulate. Of all the dragons, shadow dragons are the most enthralled by games, and delight most in winning, even if it means underhandedly. Game boards, tokens, and pieces are their favored treasure. [url=http://flightrising.wikia.com/wiki/Shadow_Flight]x[/url] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Shadow Community[/b][/size][/center] Like Light Flight, a significant amount of users will pick Shadow flight due to its lore and the easy tie-in with a lot of dark-themed clan lore, though you wont see very much roleplay within the actual Shadow forums. Within the forums, the forum is rather close-knit despite its size and popularity. Shadow members enjoy a whole range of forum games, and with these users here love pranks, grim-dark and general silliness. "Come to the dark side, we have cookies." The users here refer to their deity as "Drool Mama" and "Shadow Momma". Recommendation: Roleplay orientated clans [/center]

They prefer the allure of the unknown and mysterious nature of the magical energies that bind the universe together. Of all dragons, Arcane dragons are the most curious, pursuing their theories and their dreams, often oblivious to the effects that their dogged pursuits may have on the world around them. Meteors and runestones are their favored treasures. [url=http://flightrising.wikia.com/wiki/Arcane_Flight]x[/url] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Arcane Community[/b][/size][/center] Out of all of the communities, Arcane would probably be the most chatty and least dominance orientated. Most users in this flight are very non-competitive and value fun over everything else. This flight really is a collective group of dreamers who love to come up with stories and build on the Arcanist's existing lore, popular meme is inspired by FR lore that's used in this flight is "Thanks, Arcanist" whenever something goes wrong. It has been mentioned that there is a strong support base here with for MOGAI and disability groups. Members here call their exalts scholars" and refer to themselves by many names including Arcanites, Arcanauts, Magelets, Magelings and Scholars. Arcanites refer to their deity as "Space Dad". Recommendation: Users looking for a talkative and uncompetitive community [/center] [center][img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img][/center] [center][size=5][b]What's Lightning Flight Like?[/b][/size] [img]http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130913131640/flightrising/images/thumb/0/0f/Lightning_Rune.png/50px-Lightning_Rune.png[/img] [/center] [u]Statistics[/u] Population: 15678 Dominance so far: 8 (2nd: 4 3rd:2 ) [LIST] [*]Lightning Aesthetic [*]Lightning Lore [*]Lightning Community [/LIST] [center] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Lightning Aesthetic[/b][/size][/center] Profile header [img]http://i61.tinypic.com/o8sxeu.png[/img] Eyes [img]http://i62.tinypic.com/a26u4g.png[/img] Nests [img]http://flightrising.com/images/nests/5/5healthy_0dead.png[/img] Lair regions (your lair region will change as it gets bigger) [img]http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005224028/flightrising/images/8/8b/Lightning_0.png[/img][img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005224040/flightrising/images/2/27/Lightning_1.png[/img][img]http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005224053/flightrising/images/d/dd/Lightning_2.png[/img][img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005224105/flightrising/images/b/b1/Lightning_3.png[/img] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Lightning Lore[/b][/size][/center] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130909081656/flightrising/images/thumb/3/30/Stormcatcher.png/200px-Stormcatcher.png[/img] Deity: The [i]Stormcatcher[/i] The Lightning dragons of the Shifting Expanse are engineers. They prefer to be quick and intuitive, to better harness the power of the tempest under which they make their home. Of all the dragons, lightning dragons are the most ambitious, changing the world to adapt to them, rather than adapting to the world. The copper wire, tools, and reactors are their favored treasures. [url=http://flightrising.wikia.com/wiki/Lightning_Flight]x[/url] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Lightning Community[/b][/size][/center] Lightning is known for its organisation and use of spreadsheets. A lot of topics will revolve around the sciences and Flight Rising economy, and productivity is playfully enforced with the Stormcatcher's catchphrase "Get back to work!". Profit pushing is very common and the flight is pretty competitive in general. There is a significant amount of science-type students in this flight and the forums are very active with discussion. Sparks refer to their deity as "The Boss". Recommendation: Those who enjoy organisation, profit pushing and science [/center]

They prefer to be as fluid as the waves and currents of the oceans. Of all the dragons, water dragons are the most mysterious, predicting the many futures that may come to pass, but revealing nothing of what they divine to outsiders. Shells and magic orbs are their favored treasures. [url=http://flightrising.wikia.com/wiki/Water_Flight]x[/url] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Water Community[/b][/size][/center] In all honesty, Water really is the most mysterious flight. The flight is very small and the forums are close knit and very easy-going. Users who do reside here are very familial and the forums are moderately paced. Water users tend to keep to themselves. A catch phrase commonly used here is "Tidelord doesn't care." Their deity is referred to as "Tideloaf" and "Lord of Blue Gatorade". Recommendation: Users who like lucky dips and mystery.

They prefer to be as passionate and intense as the flames they coax. Of all the dragons, fire dragons are the most temperamental, and their red-hot fury knows no peers. Rare metal ores, weapons, statues and tools are their favored treasures.

Their forums don't tend to revolve around any particular kind of theme, but the members who do join this flight tend to be very passionate about everything they do! Users here love their inflight jokes and are generally pretty fun-orientated. They also have two "sub-species" of dragons called Flambebe and Flambobo. Flambebes will have blue-range primaries and secondaries with a fiery tertiary, whereas Flambobos are their slightly off requirement siblings. Their deity is referred to as "Mather" or "Flame Mom" Recommendation: Users looking for a strong in-flight community and who enjoy inside jokes [/center] [center][img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img][/center] [center][size=5][b]What's Ice Flight Like?[/b][/size] [img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130906214032/flightrising/images/thumb/b/bf/Ice_Rune.png/50px-Ice_Rune.png[/img] [/center] [u]Statistics[/u] Population: 15088 Dominance so far: Ice: 14 (2nd: 4; 3rd:2 ) [LIST] [*]Ice Aesthetic [*]Ice Lore [*]Ice Community [/LIST] [center] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Ice Aesthetic[/b][/size][/center] Profile header [img]http://i58.tinypic.com/2vv5njo.png[/img] Eyes [img]http://i57.tinypic.com/2jfdr7s.png[/img] Nests [img]http://flightrising.com/images/nests/6/5healthy_0dead.png[/img] Lair regions (your lair region will change as it gets bigger) [img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005215312/flightrising/images/0/03/Ice_0.png[/img][img]http://img4.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005215326/flightrising/images/a/ae/Ice_1.png[/img][img]http://img1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005215337/flightrising/images/8/82/Ice_2.png[/img][img]http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131005215348/flightrising/images/c/cd/Ice_3.png[/img] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Ice Lore[/b][/size][/center] [img]http://img3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20140507053017/flightrising/images/thumb/1/18/Icewarden.png/200px-Icewarden.png[/img] Deity: The [i]Icewarden[/i] The frost dragons of the Southern Icefield are collectors. They prefer to be as rigid and cold as winter's chill. Of all the dragons, ice dragons are the most unemotional, carefully preserving the world around them to be later analyzed and catalogued. Fossils and artifacts are their favored treasures.

A significant amount of players have chosen this flight because of the neutral eye colour and dominance-oriented communities. Despite the ice theme, Ice flight members are warm and very welcoming to new members. Their deity is endearingly referred to as "Lord Fluffylegs" or "Ice Papa". Recommendation: Users looking for a community that's generally both breeding and dominance steered [/center]

They prefer to be as strong and adaptable as the plague they spread. Of all the dragons, plague dragons are the most savage, and celebrate the cycle of life and death by constantly pitting themselves against the other elements. The bones and armor of their enemies are their favored treasures.

They prefer to be as wild and primal as the ancient forests they call their home. Of all the dragons, nature dragons are the most nurturing, enjoying the care and cultivation of flora and fauna, spreading an overgrowth of life where once there was none. Seeds and rare flowers are their favored treasures. [url=http://flightrising.wikia.com/wiki/Nature_Flight]x[/url] [img]http://pic.prepics-cdn.com/abaaaaa/21979362.gif[/img] [center][size=4][b]Nature Community[/b][/size][/center] Nature members often relate quite a lot to their element and love gardening as well as mother nature. The aesthetic of the Nature flight also draws a lot of members towards this flight as the profile banners and lairs are quite beautiful. Within the forums, there is a thread to leave nature pictures, music and little prays to their deity. Nature isn't particularly dominance orientated, so the community is pretty relaxed in that department. Whilst nature members call themselves "saplings", new users to the flight are called "seedlings". The deity here is referred to as "Beard Momma" and "Lady Gladekeeper".

They prefer to be joyful and care-free, like the gentle and playful breezes that whisk them to new lands. Of all the dragons, wind dragons are the most friendly, eager to become a small part of every community they encounter before they eventually and inevitably leave, following the currents in pursuit of a new adventure. Maps, compasses, and feathers are their favored treasures.

One of the largest flights next to Arcane, Wind has a very diverse community but is most well-know for its writers and artists. Wind has its own in-flight newspaper which members can submit articles! Members here call themselves "windies" and new members "wisps". Wind flight members refer to their deity as "Noodle Dad" and "Hot Dad". Recommendation: Creative type users [/center]

These are a general idea of what each flight is like. It's important to note all members may not hold the same sentiments as I've described. This guide is here only to provide a rough idea and a little insight of what each flight may be like and where you may be best suited.

@Nerd
wind community=very large, 2 whole forums (one for chatting, one for sales threads/raffles)
people tend to celebrate birthdays together, rant together and help each other out.
there are even little competitions like names for mr. dudemeister the windsinger

@nerd
if you wanna know a little about plague, it puts a /ton/ of emphasis on dominance. We've won it 11 times now I believe? And there are several threads that are kept well updated on future dominance battles under the Plague Flight tab. I switched from Arcane into Plague because it was winning dominance so often, but it really feels like home now because I modeled my clan off the survival part of Plague Flight lore. I like the medium size of the flight so it's easier than massive flights such as Arcane do to achieve dominance, although not as easy as for, say, earth.

Anyway, that's what I have to contribute!~
