Question!!!! Do you have control over the colour of the primary, secondary or tertiary genes that you yourself add (like stripes and circuit etc) or are they affected by the primary, secondary and tertiary that are already existing. Example! can a blue circuit gene be placed on a dragon with purple primary, orange secondary and red tertiary colour?  OR Would the circuit be red due to the preexisting tertiary colour being red and the gene mimicking it. The mechanics of the gene and colouring process confuse me slightly. Im guessing (pretty sure) its the second of the two opinions. As for the starter dragon it seems that the primary colour affects the whole body with the belly (on a guardian) simply being lighter in colour? But the what about the tertiary colour. Any elaboration on this would be great. I have read into the encyclopedia however so an entire page of basics wont be required lol just a lil elaboration for this slow old girl XD |

hmmmmm or perhaps the tertiary basic colour doesn't show at all, it is only visible when a tertiary gene is used.....

....so then what creates the colours of the belly on the guardians as some are lighter than the primary gene and some darker and neither seem to correlate to either secondary or tertiary colours either... ... blah!! *head explodes* Im going to bed >_> |

Hey, Sky!
The gene scrolls do not change the pre-existing colors. So on your example, the circuit gene would be red because the dragon's tertiary color is red.
The tertiary color isn't visible except in the case of the circuit gene (and presumably any other tertiary gene that will be introduced in the future). The color you see that is neither the primary color nor the secondary color is the accent color. The accent color is determined by the primary gene and is mostly just for an aesthetic dash of a lighter/darker shade on your dragon's body ( dragon's stomachs, mirror's heads and horns, guardians spikes, etc).
Oh no, don't give up! You're answering your own question, more or less! XD

ooooohkay... Im getting there!!!! XD
So how is the accent colour determined??
Some dragons have darker bellies and others lighter bellies, it it in any way controllable or is it simply connected too the primary colour regardless (for pure example - Caribbean blue produces a lighter accent, navy basic produces a darker accent and that is it - no idea if this is true for their just random guess)

YOU ARE <3
Okay, the answer to that is: No, you can't control it. It's connected to the primary color and that primary color will always produce the same accent color. No variation.

Yay I got it!! I just checked out the colour wheel with the spirals under it to get an idea of what 'accents' each colour gives! Thanks a bunch JC! Where would we be without ya!  <3 Btw, seen any posts/forums/wiki's that show things like markings & items on each of the dragon breeds? I'd love to see a circuit gene on a mirror and guardian :3 You usually find these things for most pet sites but am not sure if FR has its own? |

You'd be minus one slightly bossy know-it-all You're very welcome, Sky I'm happy when I can answer something - this wait for the game to open is too long to sit here waiting and wondering! Let's see, someone on the reddit discussed making a wiki cataloging all colors, genes, apparel, etc but the admin were not completely approving. They would prefer that such a large chunk of their art and content not be on an outside site, so the answer is "Currently, no." Once the game has gone live, they expect that the search function on the main site, which is admittedly very specific and helpful, will work perfectly well to display the full range of colors and genes. I agree, but for now there's not much to look at. I'm a packrat, so this is usually where I pull out an example... but it seems I don't have any saved pictured of a mirror or guardian with the circuit gene >>; I could have sworn I had a mirror. Darn. Anybody else save a picture before the site was wiped? Also if there's some other specific you want to see, ask - there's a good chance I have a saved dragon with the gene or a very very small chance of an item you're curious about. But it never hurts to ask  |

Frost No, the problem with the circuit gene specifically is that in beta only Akiri and Thrage had access to enough gems to get a circuit gene (up until the very end when gems were given out like candy and I lost track of everything people were making) and that was before there were snappers, spirals, and imperials. As far as I recall, there were no circuit guardians or ridgebacks and I apparently didn't save the circuit mirror I vaguely remember. On the FR main site if you use the dragon search for tertiary gene > circuit you'll see faes and a spiral, in addition to the wildclaws and pearlcatchers. I'm looking through what I have and it's mostly clown gene, stripes, wing spots, wing stripes, and a few iridescent ones and the breeds are tundra, fae, pearlcatcher, ridgeback, guardian, and wildclaw. I apparently also saved quite a few gened baby dragons in those breeds...

The primary colour and its accent colours can be damn confusing. Particularly when you have colours like spring, lemon and violet which have accents that are totally different colours!

Ah! Ok.
Makes sense.
If its not too much bother, may I have a peek at the guardians with the genes added?
I'm trying to figure out the best colours for the markings so that I can make my starter dragon effectively. By seeing the markings I can work out colour theories to suit them :3
One last (I think) question wich I'm sure I already know the answer too - is there anyway of converting gems to treasure except by ways of trading with other players??
I don't think there is/would be but thought I'd bring it up as a few of the genes are available via treasure only :3
