Ultimate Flight Guide (v2)
Welcome to the second version of the Ultimate Flight Guide. I'm updating the guide to include as much relevant information as possible. All credit to Nerd for the original guide and the format. Whether you're a new player and have no idea where to begin, or you're an older player looking for a change of scenery, this guide should be able to help you make a decision on which flight to choose.
This Flight Guide can't be completed without your help! If there is inaccurate information, especially in the forum sections of any flight, please let me know. If you would like to be put on a list of people willing to plug your flight, or have a flight recruitment poster for public use, please also let me know!

Why do flights matter?
To be fair, your flight not might really matter. You can probably play Flight Rising without ever getting too involved with your flight. But most of the time, your flight will matter, because of:
1. Dominance
Dominance is a great way a flight can come together. Your flight will work towards beating another flight in a dominance battle. It relies on mass exalting of dragons, and can be a lot of fun (although sometimes expensive, depending on the competition). These stats will be taken from the Dom Watch Tracker directly.
The rewards of winning 1st place dominance are:
-15% off Marketplace Treasure items
-5% off Lair Expansions
-1500 Treasure per day
-3 more Gathering Turns per day
The rewards of winning 2nd place dominance are:
-7% off Marketplace Treasure items
-1% off Lair Expansions
-750 more treasure per day
-2 more Gathering Turns per day
2. Aesthetic
Each flight has its own aesthetic in design, location, and eggs. Additionally, your flight determines the eye color of any dragons you breed. Flight aesthetic will be detailed more in the flight-specific posts.
3. Lore
Each flight has its own lore: its deity, its placement in the realm of Sornieth, and its in-game additions are all parts of a flight's lore. Flight lore will be detailed more in the flight-specific posts.
4. Community
Each flight has its own private general and sales forum. Both forums are key for players who want to immerse themselves in their flight's community. Are these forums active, are they slow? Flight community will be detailed more in the flight-specific posts.
What do you want from your flight?
There are a number of things to consider when picking a flight. For some players, they're happy to pick a flight based on the lore and deity of their flight. For others looking to be part of their flight's community, it's a little more difficult because of the restricted access to the private flight forums.
After signing up, you get one free flight change. After that, you'll have to wait 6 months, and it will cost 1500 gems (or about $15 USD). Flight Rising users will often pay this in order to change flights. Flight allegiance can play a huge part in your gaming experience, so choose carefully-unless you have gems to spend.
Make sure to keep these things in mind before picking your flight:
What am I most interested in?
-Breeding Dragons
-Dominance Pushes
-Meeting Like-minded People
-Fun vs Competitive Spirit
-Active vs Slow Forums
-Lore Building and Roleplay
These are the things that will make or break your flight experience! Now, onto the flights themselves.
