Points, Ghost and Magpie: The genes that took years to come
In a video uploaded September 13th, 2012, a ton of genes were teased. All of these genes ended up being available on site launch, with two notable exceptions: the tertiary genes Ghost and Points
Ghost (and Magpie)
Ghost was teased as a gene that created a skull marking on the head of a dragon, a gradient down the neck of a dragon and a few splotches of color on a dragon's wings with a slight gradient

Ghost would not release until February 12th, 2018. The release gene creates skeletal markings all over the body of a dragon and lacks gradients.
Then on May 13th, 2026, the tertiary gene Magpie released. The gene is likely a redesign of the wing gradients of 2012's version of ghost. They're very similar, but not 1 to 1.
The fact this post released on the same day magpie dropped is coincidence. This was scheduled almost a week in advance and of course magpie dropped about 10 minutes before this post was scheduled to go up.
Points
Points was teased as a gene that added fades to the points of a dragon - those being the muzzle, ears, top of wings, tail and the bottom of the legs. Similar points of coloration are found in real animals, notably in siamese cats

Points finally released on October 10th, 2022, over ten years since it was teased. In the final version, the color coverage on all areas was extended.
So, what took so long?
Quite honestly, we don't know. It is worth noting that in the beginning, genes had be recolored by hand. Now, (most) genes are colored using a recolor engine and a base template with sections marking where each color should go.

Since the colors had to be done by hand and gradients can be finicky, even in a good art program, the decision may have been made that it wasn't worth the effort at the time, since the original plan was to have them obtainable using features outside of the marketplaces, which weren't implemented at the time (notably Ghost was supposed to obtainable from Baldwin's Bubbling Brew). In the end, both ending up being purchasable in the treasure marketplace
Undel on when Ghost and Points would be released
Today, the wait for ghost and points is still joked about by those who remember and all players now have access to these genes.

this is the most accurate plaque in my whole lair, thank you marva
bad news. bounty of the elements turned eight years old last week.
EDIT: even worse news
bogsneaks are ten years old
gaolers (and thus ancients) were released seven years ago
the last time festival items retired will be exactly ten years ago this june
Anyone remember the server migration? Reuploading from my old eaten account..
Took a nap and had a dream that fr released a new ancient and it was just. A lizard. The only gene I saw was called Byzantine, and honestly I wish it was real.
Mushu’s here to stay and he’s here to shame.
Hey! Go get yourself a Randomly Generated FR Dragon by going to the Predict Morphology Feature!
Did you get a good dragon?
YEAH!!! IT’S ONE OF THE PRETTIEST DRAGONS I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!
Yeah, it’s a GREAT dragon!!!
It’s a very very very good-looking dragon!!
Yeah, I like it!
I guess it’s better-than-most?
I have no strong feelings one way or the other
It's both ugly and pretty in equal measures… feel conflicted…..
It’s not the WORST but I feel disappointed
No, I don’t like it!
Ngl this dragon is VERY UGLY
Oh no, it’s a TERRIBLE dragon!!!!
THIS IS ONE OF THE UGLIEST DRAGONS I EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF LOOKING AT

Wanted to show off my bald-faced hornet
No-Hit Boss Killer
I made this build about a month ago, but I don't think I've properly introduced frblr to THE CLOBBER.
Kill ANY boss in any venue on a cold start. Grind in lvl 25 venues hitless, forever. Yes, it works in any venue and any boss. Yes, it slots perfectly into a team of 133 STR general grinders. Yes, it costs less than 45g to build. No, you don't need another eliminate.

I haven't had much time lately for Flight Rising, but I was feeling listless without an all-consuming craft project... so I made a "fur"suit mask of my banescale, Patina!
The neck, hands, and tail are yet to be finished and I need to repair the elastic on their jaw, but I'm pretty happy with them!
