Clan Dawnlight

Ever since I joined Flight Rising back in June of 2014, my biggest goal became to complete the Bestiary. Call it the completionist in me who loves to Catch Them All, I prioritized this over anything else in the game.

But, because of the Boolean, Kickstarter Familiars, and rapid price increase of the Sprites and Downtime Familiars, I gave up on the idea that I would ever have a truly “complete” bestiary, instead wanting to go for literally everything else. And I came pretty close several times, but always held back by something, usually the two big bosses of the Golem Workshop.

Then, Flight Rising added HER. Fiona. A new Trading Post NPC who would give new recolors of familiars as rewards for Awakening their default counterparts, and the ability to bond with 8 randomly selected familiars a day... including familiars you don’t own; in fact, familiars you don’t own have an increased chance of popping up.

With this update, they also changed the Bestiary and made it so any Awakened Familiar, owned or not, will be colored in. Owning it would add a star background, but on the bestiary itself, it considers them as “Discovered”.

So of course, I had a new goal, which was to have a filled out Bestiary, every Familiar “Discovered”, with every entry colored in. This dream started to become a reality for me when the very first familiar I don’t own Awakened, and it was, of all things, Boolean. I eventually Awakened all the familiars I don’t believe I will ever own, including the expensive Bosses which gave me Fiona’s recolor.

Just recently, near the end of last year, I decided to go on a shopping spree and buy familiars from recent Venue Updates, and try my best to bond with Familiars every day to get the Fiona Recolors I didn’t own. It didn’t take long before the Regal Bladebearer became the very final Familiar I needed, keeping my Bestiary with a Undiscovered Tab of (1).

It got closer and closer. I really hoped they wouldn’t drop a new Venue Update. I wanted to just once see Undiscovered (0) in my Bestiary. And, on Wednesday, I Awakened my Bladed Boa. But I still had two more days to go for the Serrated Snake. And today, I finally did it. I Awakened it, grabbed my Regal Bladebearer from Fiona and, according to the game itself, have a filled out Bestiary, and have completed my long-term goal of this site from the last 9 Years.
