Handlers Guide

Welcome to the magical world of Mystical Creatures powered by Amaretto!

Please allow a brief introduction to the Mystical world of Dragons, and what part you’ll play in uncovering their past and saving their future!

You’ve heard of dragons--Magnificent beasts of legend and myth. But what if I told you that they once roamed our world? And because of them, our world was once also abundant in Aurum--the source of all Magick.

Magick lies at the heart of all things Dragon. From Magick they are born, and to it they return when they pass from this world. Dragons even sustain themselves on Aurum--Magick crystallized into its purist physical form.

As Dragons make their return to our world, so too will the magicks they once safeguarded. And we cannot wait to see what you discover!'

To get started, rez a dragon egg you purchased from your inventory on the ground. Click the egg and select the "birth" option to rez your new baby dragon. Your new dragon has a default range of 10 meters from "home" which is the spot where you birthed them. To move your dragon, it can be taken into inventory and re-rezed to the new location. To set home position in the future click the dragon, select Environment, set home. Home position does set automatically on rez when you re-rez a dragon. The Range is set in Meters and is the radius of a circle with the home point as the center. (The Radius of a circle is measured from the center to it’s edge)

The dragon will grow in size over the next several days, until it reaches full maturity at age 5 (days). When your dragon reaches 2 days old the Ardor/Zeal will begin to rise if the mood is at 75% or higher. Once the Ardor/Zeal reaches 100% the dragoness will be ready to mate with any Drake that has at least 1 geno, as long as they are awake. Once they mate the egg drops immediately and will be ready to incubate.

The dragons can breed until the age of 100, at which time they will become Ancients.

After having the "egg" the dragoness with have a 3 day rejuvenation, then approximately 3 days for it to get back 100% ardor. The drake recovers immediately and begins to gain zeal.

A dragon at any age can be worn and it will walk beside you, but you can ride adult dragons as well. >To wear your baby and adolescent dragons: Click your dragon>wear>walk You can also pick it up and select add from your inventory >To wear or ride your adult dragons: Click your dragon>wear>walk/ride You can also pick it up and select add from your inventory, it will default to ride but just click your dragon>wear>walk if you wish for it to walk beside you

When attaching the dragon to your avatar, it can possibly remove your avatar mesh body. Just add your mesh body back after attaching the dragon

Digging and Crafting Instructions

Getting Started:

Once a Dragoness or Drake reaches adulthood (5 days), they can be ridden. You are limited to one Dragon that can be ridden at a time. Dragons younger than 5 days cannot be ridden not can they dig. **You must be wearing your HUD to collect treasure!

To have your dragon Dig, wear your Mystical Dragons HUD and click on the Green button at the bottom to display the 'Dig/Craft page.'

You will need to 'Link' the Dragon you are riding before it can dig.

To Link, ensure that you are riding an adult dragon(It must be awake, and have sufficient Aether). You can Link a ridden Dragon by toggling 'Link Off' to 'Link On'. This button is located on the 'Dig/Craft' tab, beneath the name and quantity sections.

If you are not riding a dragon, no connection will be made.

To disconnect from a Linked dragon, touch the Link button again. It will change to Link Off, and say in Local Chat that it has disconnected.

Digging

Once your dragon is Linked, you can toggle the Dig setting by touching 'Dig Off' until it says 'Dig On'. This button is located on the 'Dig/Craft' tab, beneath the name and quantity sections.

Once Digging is enabled, your Linked Dragon will occasionally prompt you to dig up treasure. A 'DIG!' prompt will appear near the middle of your screen (closer to the HUD), and must be touched to Dig. If successful, the Dragon will Dig up treasure. You can see the result of your search in Local Chat. You'll also see your find on the HUD. You may also receive an inventory offer from an Item Server depending on what your Dragon has found.

There is lots to find. The four main types of treasure are:

-Salvage, which is automatically converted to Ascension Points(AP) when obtained. Some Salvage is worth more AP than others!

-Resources, which are materials used to craft recipes found in Blueprints. These are tracked automatically on your HUD, under the "Resources' Section on the Dig/Craft page.

-Blueprints, which are items that contain a list of materials needed to craft a specific item. They are physical objects that must be Rezzed on the ground to view their recipe. Blueprints display their Recipes on the HUD on the 'Dig/Craft' tab when clicked, under the 'Blueprint' section. *All Blueprint Recipes will require at least one resource, Ascension Points, and the Blueprint itself. The Blueprint may be consumed in the process.

-Catalysts, which are rare items that are used as part of higher level crafting, but can also be kept as collectibles or converted into Ascension Points.
