Flight Rising Discussion

They used to steadily increase in price back when I was last active. I think I remember one vial going for about 200kt LAH. Now, about two years later, they've gotten CHEAPER. How did that happen, and why? Is there any hope of the price rising again with more time? I have hoarded many that I grinded for back when they dropped from coli, and wanted to wait until it was really worth it to sell them... but has some new update ruined it now and that point will never come? And if so, where do I direct the crusade? EDIT:[b] Wait... there are vials for EVERY eye type now?! Including Primal and Multigaze and whatnot?? What the hell were they thinking. Didn't they ride on about the point that these should stay rare and only be obtainable on old dragons via the randomization of scattervials?? This feels like such a betrayal. Like they'd suddenly decided to re-release old festival items and give the finger to whoever had worked hard to get as many of them as they could as an investment for the future. How are you supposed to trust anything will stay valuable, after that? They were so adamant about scattersights being the only possible way, even in future. I made the best possible decision I could with the information I had at the time, which was to hold onto my scattersights to sell at a later date... and they backstabbed all of us who did the same.[/b] ----------------- [b]EDIT 2: And even ignoring the scattersight situation... this discounts special eye types so much. They used to be a new kind of G1; something you couldn't control through breeding. An exciting project. A way to give imperfect dragons value and motivate you to invest into making them perfect. Now you can just buy an already perfect dragon, shell out some treasure to the people who snipe the vials from the marketplace and give them Primal. Or Multigaze. Or Faceted. Look at my avatar. He's the first special eye type dragon I ever hatched. Both he and his sister got Faceted in the same clutch. That was such a special moment. Now, I would be better off buying a new dragon who had his colours and also Constellation secondary and giving it Faceted, instead of valuing him as a project. All that uniqueness is just gone. There's nothing special about a natural-born Primal like this guy below anymore. There's no point to transforming him with gene and breed changes into something gorgeous.

The whole point of those exceedingly rare eye types was to give a dragon a trait that couldn't be controlled to a T through money and breeding. To give them an inherent value. What a joke.[/b]

Eye vials, no need for them

The eye vial update! Now you can have any eyes you want at will, and the most expensive only go up to 500 KT. Now they're just a collectors item, now that we don't have to gamble for the chance at a primal or smth

when you can just buy the eye type you want, the desire for a random chance at something wouldn't be very high i think.

There was an update recently which made vials for every eye type, most of which are available in the treasure marketplace. Scattersights plummeted in value after the update

I think that item is retired from the game so what's left is what's left. I'm not sure on how fast they were selling. It may be low cause some people are probably tired of holding on to them.

[center][item=vial of elemental sight] May I introduce you to the [b]Eyepocalypse [/b][size=1]tm[/size]?

They'd gotten up there.. 400.. 600 I don't even know anymore. To a point no one was really using them anymore.

FR decided to release eye vials for each type, and the scattervials became obsolete. You can still use them, ofcourse, but their odds were so terrible that few choose to go that route anymore.

the devs basically decided to completely devalue them by correcting their eye mistake three years to late.

Yeah eyepocalypse part 2 happened
Scattersights plummeted from 1000ish g or so to... far less overnight (I don't really remember the initial price any more, it's been a while, but they got quite expensive)

Even though it was frustrating to see that flow of income become completely obsolete, I do somewhat appreciate the freedom you now have with projects. I can scry different eye types guilt-free lol (this is only something that came around with time though)
