Flight Rising Discussion

Are there any loan businesses or banks in Flight Rising? Like, people that will loan you money at interest with collateral and all that jazz?

_{i dont think there is but i also don't think making one would be a really good idea, even with how good the community is}

A few people have tried but it's not a great idea so they're never very successful.
You don't really need loans in this game. Most sellers of expensive items would be willing to work with a reasonable buyer and anything cheap you shouldn't need a loan for.

I dont think an idea like that would be feasible. Cool in theory but not in practice.

[/quote] But there are still things like buying nests, lair expansions, etc. that you can't use dragons and items to buy without a ton of work through finding a way to sell them for a decent price. There's also things like starting an XXX hatchery, for example, where it can take a lot of money to get a pair, but once you get going you can make enough to pay it off pretty quickly sometimes. (I'm not suggesting it's necessarily a great idea, but it seems feasible enough that I'm surprised there aren't at least a few, given the variety of services you can find on FR)

Not sure how well an all-flight version of that would work though, it might get too busy.

@SwiftIsHere so is there like a list that they cycle through and when it comes to you they ask what you need money for?

@HollowKnight The things I listed are actually all different programs (so there's a bank for lair expansions, one for genes, etc). But yeah, that's the basic idea - a queue of people sign up, all donating a small amount of treasure per week, and then the person at the top of the queue gets funded for whatever they signed up for. Then they start raising money again for the next person, etc etc.
