<cockney barrow-boy voice> Crystal/facet nocturnes! Getcha crystal/facet nocturnes here! Laahvly an' fresh!</cockney barrow-boy voice>
I have been waiting sooo long to be able to breed this nest - geneing up Natalis and Uinen to both be crystal/facet and then finally counting down the days until today when I could put them both on a nest. And my beauties have really come through for me! Four lovely eggs, for a beautiful clutch of crystal/facet nocturne babies.

The Tybalt/Juliet nest yielded 5 eggs in total, all guardians; my daughter claimed one crystal/facet boy, two others went up in the AH, but I still have these two left that I'm thinking I may hang onto and give away to the next two friends who sign up to Flight Rising in the next registration opening, unless someone desperately wants either and wants to make me an offer.
Coal Crystal/Maize Facet/Blood Basic guardian female
Coal Crystal/Blood Facet/Crimson Basic guardian female
I have another crystal nest due to hatch the day after tomorrow, a guardian/mirror pairing between Shard (Purple crystal/White Eyespots/Stone Basic) and Frostfall (Ice Crystal/Splash Shimmer/Seafoam Smoke). There are three eggs in that nest.
All hatched this morning, all crystal, 2 with facet, one with shimmer.

Ugh. Still no scrolls. and Nocturne scrolls start at 7500 gems in the AH. That's actually about $70 in real cash. Much as I really, really want to regene Tybalt to a Nocturne there is no way in hell I am paying $70 in real, cold, hard cash for the privilege. Fuck that noise. That's £45 in British sterling. That's a third of the money for a new viola for my daughter (or the money to buy a fixer-upper one for myself - I've paid less than that for a cello with a broken neck that I repaired then sold on for £100).
When you put it in terms of actual real money it brings home how bloody ludicrous some of the AH prices are - and how much actual real money people are investing in an online game.
Happy Last Monday of 2014, friends!! Let’s end it on a high note and start fresh! Today’s winner will get one primary, one secondary and one tertiary gene of their choice (yes, even gem genes!) - whatever combo strikes your fancy! Maybe knock out a project? Maybe get that new Nocturne looking fresh? It’s up to you! You know the rules:

I've gotten to the point now where I really can't be arsed to spend hours grinding in the Coliseum in the vague hopes of getting a scroll. I just opened my 700th chest to find yet another bloody Living Stone. Fuck it, I give up. I'll open the chests I get whilst Digging, but I'm not wasting any more time on a fruitless task that gets me nowhere. It's not even levelling up my dragons, because at level 14 they're not quite high enough to do the Waterway without my party getting wiped out every two fights, but too high to get experience from the Scorched Forest. So I'll save up and eventually gene up one of the two nocturnes I got (and likely selling the other), and give up on the idea of regeneing either Tybalt or Juliet, let alone Mercutio.
This event has been nothing but frustration, between the huge cock-up of having a registration period right before a major event without adequately load-testing their servers, and the frankly utterly crap drop rate both of chests whilst Gathering and the contents of the chests.
250+ chests later and still no scrolls but I did find a second Nocturne egg. So now I have two male Nocturnes. Still can't say I'm exactly enthused about the colours on either, to be honest. Oh well; I'll keep grinding in hopes of a scroll....
A flutter of wings brings forth two adorable looking nocturne hatchlings. Clasped tightly between their tiny claws is a bag! Once they notice your curious gaze, they open the back up and offer it to you… What’s inside?
And now for another giveaway!
incubirising and I are doing a joint giveaway brought to you by our two nocturnes
There will be only one winner for this one! The winner will receive the following
200 Strange Chests!
1 Fungusbearing Phony
1 Sunbeam Ursa
1 Snarling Mimic
1 Ectoplasmime
1 Jawlocker
That’s 200 chests that have a chance at even more familiars, nocturne egg(s), and scroll(s)! A pretty good shot at it. I’ve gotten a bunch of stuff from 200 before. Hopefully your luck will be as good, or better!
RULES!

Over 140 chests later and I finally got an egg!
Hmm. Not really the colours I was hoping for. Purple basic/Spring basic/Lemon basic, Plague male. To be honest, what I really wanted was a scroll. *sigh* Wondering if I should stick him up in the AH and just keep grinding.
8:15: We are still working on addressing coliseum. Our apologies for the downtime. We would like to announce that we will be extending the Night of the Nocturne event one day, to end 01-04-15 23:59, with chests disintegrating one day later as well, on the 5th. 7:30 : The coliseum is currently inaccessible. We are working to bring it back online. We apologize for the downtime, and are working to resolve the situation. Thank you for your patience!
One day doesn't really make up for the frustration of having the majority of the site unusable for much of yesterday and the Coliseum unusable again today. This whole event - coming right after a registration window - seems very poorly thought out. There are people who have ground nonstop to accrue chests literally in the hundreds only to get maybe one egg or scroll. Either the frequency of drop needs to increase or people be given an extra 15 gather turns every day to make it halfway fair, particularly in light of the sheer difficulties in accessing the site and the appalling lag on those rare occasions it's actually possible to get into the Coliseum. And one extra day of event is frankly laughable. Given this week is bisected by Christmas as well, I frankly don't see this problem resolving quickly. Give us another week of event, not one day.
We apologize for the performance issues the site is currently experiencing. We are investigating the cause and will update you as soon as we have more information. Thank you for your patience.
YOU’RE KILLING ME SMALLS I’M JUST TRYING TO GET A FUCKING NOCTURNE!
I think that's the problem - we're all trying to get a Nocturne! 70 chests and nada; another friend went through 100 chests to get one scroll and one egg, another friend went through 300 chests for an egg. No wonder the site's slowed down. :-(
msbarrows replied to your photoset:Well, even if I can’t do anything else I wanted to…
Over 6k users online, it’s a total lagfest, I’m still trying to get through playing with all my familiars… 200+ of them, at a couple minutes per loading screen. Argh. Argh arghARGH!
Yeah. I had that problem earlier today. I’ve barely been able to do my usual daily “maintenance” which usually only takes me about twenty minutes. *grumbles*
Yeah, it took me a several hours to do things that normally I knock out in < 1 hour; gathering, trading post, nest incubation, playing with familiars… the lag on most of the site seems to have now disappeared, but the coliseum was only briefly playable for me and now I can’t get back into it. At all. Eternal loading screen :\
Reports in the Bug subforum are that any time a mimic shows up in battle in the Coliseum, lag goes through the roof, and now no-one can get into the Coliseum at all. I think they're going to have to take the Coliseum off-line. Given the issues they're having, I hope they do the sensible thing and extend the event at least by a day or two. The drop rate for scrolls/eggs in chests needs to be improved as well. I managed to get a total of 12 Strange Chests today, between the Coliseum and gathering - and not one scroll or egg. Between that and the lag I can see a lot of people being put off right after the most recent registration day.
I suppose if a large number of people just give up that would solve the lag issue at least temporarily.... :-/
Nah, no errors here. (No eggs, either. :/ )
Must just be my connection then. No eggs for me either when I finally did manage to open the chest either! I'm currently grinding in the Coliseum - there are loads of mimics in the Woodland Path and they're dropping lots of chests.

Night of the Nocturne
From the veiled brambles and branches of the Tangled Wood, an elusive new creature has begun to spread across the realm. These once-hidden dragons are leaving the comfort of their dreary habitats and traversing Sornieth under the cover of darkness. On this, the shortest day of the year, Nocturne dragons rule the skies.
Click here to read more about this update.
Night of the Nocturne introduces Flight Rising's second Limited breed, in that they can only be collected via this in-game event once a year! Nocturnes have a 30-day breeding cooldown and eat Meat and Insects.
From now until January 3rd, 23:59 server time, it will be possible to attain Nocturne Dragons in the following ways:
Finding rare Unhatched Nocturne Eggs.
Finding very rare Breed Change: Nocturne scroll items.
The items above will be found in Strange Chests—baffling containers left by the breed during their only two weeks of activity. Plotting Nocturnes aren’t keen to just shower the realm in gifts, however. Several of these chests have a vicious mind of their own. So tread carefully!
In order to find these chests, use the Digging skill in any elemental region or battle Mimic monsters in the Coliseum. It will also be rarely possible to find Unhatched Nocturne Eggs while Scavenging in any elemental region. After two weeks have passed, Nocturnes, their eggs, and their Strange Chests will become scarce until next year.
To help kick off the event, we have granted all players an additional 10 Gathering Turns for today only! If these bonus gathering turns are unused, they’ll disappear after the next rollover. IMPORTANT NOTE: Strange Chests will become fragile and disintegrate starting January 4th, so make sure to open all of them before the event concludes!
Engineered by the Shadowbinder herself to be covert, hidden, and adaptable, Nocturne dragons have the incredible ability mimic the sounds, motions, and behaviors of other dragons and creatures. This interesting adaptation can have its drawbacks, though. Find out more about the Shadowbinder’s sneaky sentinels in a new lore article below:
Though there is a chance for breed change scrolls and eggs within Strange Chests, you’ll also find a very tricky array of objects and food items. Below are some new items that you’ll be able to procure:
That’s not all, though! Last June, we polled the community for their interest on whether they’d like to see the 2014 elemental holiday familiars return for a brief period in December. You voted yes, and that time has come! Within the murky contents of the Nocturne’s Strange Chests, you may come across some of last year’s elemental holiday bears for your collection. Just be wary, with all the copycatting and mimickry afoot, will you find a normal ursine guardian, or a clever doppelgänger…?
Nocturne dragons aren’t the only thing storming across Sornieth. As the days grow short and the temperature drops, dragons will be battling a harsh weather cold front.Autumn Breeze apparel has now been cycled out of the Treasure Marketplace, andWinter Wind apparel has been cycled in, where it will remain until Friday, March 20th.
Additional Updates
An issue where a subsection of items were being gathered at an increased rate as compared to others has been corrected.
The Festive Favors page will now always properly display what holiday is coming up next.
Anyone else finding that they get continuous errors when they try to open the Strange Chests?
Don't forget to pair up dragons today for a Christmas Day hatching!
