Raffles & Giveaways

[img]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o299/Vendrus-Sci/Trade_banner_zps254f27d1.jpg[/img] I'm trying to get all the coli familiars without buying or trading. This involved spending ridiculous amounts of time in the Coliseum (because I get silly about things like this) and... a lot of duplicate familiars. As anyone who is on the same quest knows - and there seem to be plenty of us - there is always one familiar which will. not. drop. Hence, I'm giving all my spares away in the hope of preserving some sanity in the Familiar Hunter community. This thread will get regular updates of new duplicates found, bits of useful information and utterly useless complaining about coliseum lag and the lack of dropping familiars. [img]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o299/Vendrus-Sci/guide_zps17738a83.png[/img] [LIST] [*]Don't be shy, say hi! [*]I don't take familiars from the thread. If you send one in, it goes up on the list. [*]If you want to donate a familiar to the trade list, you're fantastic and will go on an appreciation list. [*]If you're struggling to find a particular familiar, you can go on a ping list and I'll let you know if I get hold of this. [*]Don't be greedy! If you want a lot of the free familiars, please send something back as well. A ratio of 2 free to 1 returned would be ideal. [*]I try and help out as many as possible - you may not get every familiar you ask for in a post, but if they're available you'll always get at least one. [*]Ramblings are inevitable; yours are as welcome as mine. [*]These familiars are for you! Please don't resell/retrade them. [*]I prefer requests by forum post, but pm is fine. [*]This thread does not work by AH prices! Tradeaways are 1-to-1 (unless you claim an overflow familiar as well!)

All donations very welcome [b]OVERFLOW[/b] We have too many of these - please don't trade them in. [item=Southmarsh Podid] [item=Venomous Toridae] [item=Poisonous Toridae][item=Radioactive Slime] [item=Sunset Lasher] [item=Masked Harpy] [item=Citrine Cave Jewel] [item=Emerald Cave Jewel] [item=Chimera] [item=Longneck Skirmisher] [item=Longneck Interloper] [item=Parasitic Fungus] [item=Blue Dragon Reef Snail] [item=Longneck Mender] [item=Longneck Magi] (If you're trading for something else, it's worth seeing if you can get one of these for free!) [b]TRADES[/b] If you want to trade for something in the Giveaway list, you are a wonderful person and anything is welcome. The Tradeaway list is a little more restricted, due to previous issues. Most familiars from Training Grounds and Woodland Path will not be accepted, and neither will either Serthis. Exceptions are: Clown Charger, Bumble, Coral Carpenter. For those who don't know the coli areas, this is: either Moth, Death's Head Stag, Luna Mith, Crimson Emperor, either Strangler, either Owl, either Dryad, Bluefin Charger. The newer festival sprites will probably be turned down for second-list trades, accepted otherwise.

[img]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o299/Vendrus-Sci/Info_zpsf4b48a77.jpg[/img] [u]Your Dragons... get pets![/u] Familiars have one purpose - to latch on to your dragons and give you free stuff every day! This is mostly gold, starting off at 15 treasure per day and maxing out at 50. There's a little box on the bottom right of each dragon's page where you can add a familiar (Change) and bond with them (Heart). The BIG draw is what happens each time they level up - you get a chest! For the first few levels it's Rusty Chests, then Iron, then a Gilded chest when they hit max. [u]Your Dragons find pets![/u] There are quite a few ways to get familiars. The main one is from the coliseum. Every creature in there has a corresponding familiar, which has a relatively rare chance of dropping. Once you get a decent level team, however, it's not such a struggle and you can get food, treasure packs and even dragon eggs as a bonus. Chests are another way - Iron and Gilded chests often give familiars when you open them! Pinkerton will also sometimes give a familiar (I got my first one this way!). Swipp's Swap Stand offers trades for familiars - some can be got from the coliseum, but some are only otherwise seen in chests. The items for them can be got from gathering and from the coliseum. The Marketplace has two lots of familiars. The treasure ones can be found in the coliseum or in chests, but the gem ones can ONLY be bought here. Events - Each Flight Festival has it's own familiar which can only be bought from the Festive Favours tab on the left hand side. There are also a number of Kickstarter familiars, which are very rare and run to 10+ million treasure per familiar. Then there's Boolean, which was only given to beta testers so there's only about 80 of them on the site. Expect to pay a couple hundred thousand gems, or trade for a full set of Kickstarter familiars. There's also been a couple of downtime familiars sent out - Akirbeak, Speedy and Golden Bantam Fangar. They're also limited edition. Last but not least, Gathering! Below this post there's a list of what familiars can be got from which areas - no-one has a full list yet, as some of them are extremely rare. Each type of gathering in each element has a familiar, with each familiar usually available in 2-3 areas. [b] GOOD LUCK [/b] [img]http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o299/Vendrus-Sci/Ping_zpsce7d907b.jpg[/img] If there's something you're desperate to get, let me know and I can put you on the list to be notified when it arrives! First come, first served for each familiar type, and there's limit of six familiars per person. I do NOT take pings for Coarsefur Yeti or gem familiars.

You want two on every dragon if possible, it will make a MASSIVE difference. One dragon will not attack the right number of times - this is a known bug. So is the fact that none of the stat stones actually work. Mob hp seems to go in steps of 100-ish per area. Waterway is ~1000hp, Arena is 1100hp. Except there's always one that's tougher - Threshers in Waterway, Chimera in Arena. At least 40 base quickness seems to be necessary for Arena, and for dealing easily with Tricksters earlier on. Why are the level 10 fragments divided by element? It makes no sense at all. Admittedly they're pointless after level 17, but still. Beserk stones and Scholar stones stack! It is possible to level a dragon from 1-16 without ever seeing a familiar. Choose between resignation and brain damage. Top areas for loot: Bamboo Falls or Harpy's Roost. First one drops Rusted Chests and all kinds of others, latter drops 300 gold pouches. [b]Cloaks:[/b] These definitely count as collectible Coliseum drops - there's eight of them, and they can only be found from the relevant Coliseum area.

Great idea, @Vendrus :) I've got my own giveaway presently, if I find a triplicate I'll pass it your way :)

Oh, awesome ^^ I'll do the same.

Team is now 20/19/17, and I have my first level 20 achievement (plus three familiars to show for today, even if two are duplicates).

I need to saw a lot of aluminium today, however, so I'm going to have to quit Coli til this evening. However, that's a good few more Str points so training should get a bit easier. Not going to be long before I have to switch to Harpy's Roost, though - I like to keep the xp gain high, and having two lvl 20s in an 18-19 area is going to knock it a bit.

Having an all-clearer team is working surprisingly well. Up til the last couple of days (probably due to MMOs) I was all pdmg/mdmg/healer. No boss monsters, so nothing hits hard enough to need a tank. However, with the auto-resurrect after each battle, I can easily get 20 or more fights out of a pure rogue-style team that go much faster - perfect for XP grinding.

Of course, it does result in wanting to headbutt a wall every time Eliminate misses...

@bloodspun (now Pokemon)

It looks like your coliseum team is well above needing stones - what do you want them for? This thread is for helping people in the Coli, specifically to get familiars, rather than general assistance.

EDIT: If you were after stuff for the 'Junk for Gems' offer then dude, really not cool.

How long does it take to update the main count? Thought I had another duplicate until I checked the actual Bestiary - it says I have 46 now. (Also realised that I'm never going to hit full count until I get a Boolean... now that could be expensive x_x) EDIT: Okay, now I do have yet another duplicate (well, triplicate) - Two days of nothing now they're throwing themselves at me! Two [item=Longneck Skirmisher] up for grabs now, might see if I can trade it for something new for the list.
