She Who Hesitates, Loses Out

[chomiji]

So there was an adorkable little Avocado Iridescent / Green Shimmer / Leaf Crackle tundra for sale in AU, and I left her during dinner, and by the time I got back, someone else had bought her.

*sigh*

I am once again at the point where I need to either save up to expand my lair again (a pricey proposition at this level) or Exalt some long-timers. I feel very guilty when I do that, and even more so if they are dragons I got from friends.

I also had my first single-egg nest. I was so spoiled, yes.

On the plus side, all my beloved dragons who had striped wings, which I decided that I didn't want anymore, now have either eye spot or seraph wings (shimmer just costs too damn much). And I am thinking about officially signing up with the Neon Wings people, although their rules get pretty arcane once you're past the basic level.

Wow, she sounds so much like the tundra girl I just bought a couple days ago!





But I checked and she only has a brother.

I like to think of it as retirement. When a dragon has nested a lot of hatchlings, or fought a lot of coli battles, they've earned their rest and their descendants can take over. I only hesitate if I'm exalting a dragon who's never been bred, or hasn't produced any offspring I'm satisfied with.

This one is glowier (not a word, but I don't care when I'm talking about imaginary dragons!):

[chomiji]

Well, I liked the offspring of a couple of them - they were pretty ... but mostly they don't fit into any of the things I'm trying to breed, no one bought them, and I ended up exalting once they were old enough to earn some levels in the Coliseum. There's also one that I don't want to breed anymore but he's fun in the Coli and 10th level. I guess I'm keeping him for now. And there's a shiny mirror that i thought I would breed from, but ... meh, now that I've previewed him with several of the lady dragons.

So it's a mixed bag. I'm too distracted by the shiny in AH.

Wow, so pretty! Would have bought her in a heartbeat myself if I had seen her.

Hope you luck out on the Auction House next time!

(as a kind of general thing for anyone who might be reading, please feel free to exalt any dragons from me!) <-- ha, I feel like this is FR's version of LJ/DW's "every day is defriending amnesty day!"

I hate it when people grab the AH dragons I've been eyeing! Although usually for me it's because I'm waffling about the price and then I discover I wanted that dragon pretty badly after I can't get it!

[lea_hazel]

The shiny is very distracting. I'm always buying new dragons and forgetting all the breeding pairs I already have.

[chomiji]

Same! I have so many dragons that haven't had a single hatchling yet, and there I am, mooning over some obsidian-and-sunshine critter on sale.

Hee, thanks! But I think the only one I have from you is Asnah, and she's actually a part of my "Neon Wings" program (although I still haven't figured out who to pair with her).
