TOPIC | Fast 3-click Familiar Bonding!
1 2 3 4
Hey yall! It occurred to me that some people aren't aware of this super fast method for familiar bonding. I believe I have over 300 unawakened familiars that I bond with every day for money & chests & Fiona tasks and here's how I do it. [img]https://i.ibb.co/0Z2CzDm/familiar-bonding-easy2.png[/img] Quick guide above, in image. 1. Open two windows with the same dragon side-by-side. One of them should be open to the [u]'Choose Familiar'[/u] page and the other should be open to the [u]dragon's Profile page[/u]. 2. On the [u]Choose Familiar[/u] page, set [u]'Bond Level'[/u] to 'Not Awakened' [i]or[/i] you can do what I do and go level by level. I do this because I have SO many that doing it level by level makes it feel more achievable. I go Wary --> Loyal. 3. Then set the [u]'Bond Status'[/u] drop-down to 'Not Bonded Today'. This will make it so familiars you've bonded with already vanish from the selection options. 4. Pick your new familiar on the [u]'Choose Familiar'[/u] page and refresh the dragon's Profile page. 5. [b]Hit Bond but [i]do not hit CLOSE[/i][/b]. 6. Go back to the [u]'Choose Familiar'[/u] page and select the next familiar. 7. [i]Now[/i] hit 'CLOSE' on the [u]dragon's profile page[/u]. The page will auto-refresh and show your newly selected familiar. Hit 'Bond', select a new familiar, hit CLOSE, rinse and repeat until you've finished your bonding! Once you find a rhythm it goes FAST. I have a touch-screen laptop so I probably go a bit quicker than those with touchpads or using a mouse, but it should still be lightning speed compared to the manual swapping. I wanted to put this here because I don't know if it's worthy of a guide but there have been a lot of familiar bonding discussions lately so I wanted to share how I go about it <3 Is this how yall bond with your familiars? Was this helpful? Lemme know!

I was actually thinking about starting to do this to significantly speed up my process of finishing all fams. I didn't know the actual exact steps so thank you for this!

Glad it helped someone! I just remembered posting on a familiar thread earlier this week about this process and someone in that thread said they didn’t know it! If it just helps one person get through the painstaking bonding process faster, I call that a win :)

Trust me, I wish I’d used it back then too, lol! I only started doing it since I came back from hiatus and was sooo behind on familiars. At least if you feel like bonding with Awakened ones, you’ll have a method!

@GermanicNordic
Hehe! Lemme know if you like it!

That's genius, you clever sausage.

Thanks for sharing, I'll use this.

I bond with familiars with the aid of keybindings, luckily there's already keyboard shortcuts to go to the next dragon, so it's a matter of just setting one up to click the "bond" button. Just clicking right, up, right, up, right, up, you can speed through familiars.

Ohhh I figured this out on my own but it legit took 6 months for me to realize that filtering by not awakened was a thing LOL. I'm really glad they added these filters, it makes familiar bonding sooooo easy. Just wish I had more time in the day to actually bond with my 300+ not-awakened fams

You can also bond faster by using two devices.

I use my laptop and tablet. Some people use their phone for the technique, too. I select the familiars on the tablet and do the bonding on my laptop. For me it’s even speedier.
