#

and odd

#

is the "then obviously go to REDACTED and get REDACTED"

tame crest
#

My ASD is like 30% elder from just ticks I'm gonna be passive elder before I figure out the actual process

stray notch
#

that part is the most important IMO

tardy perch
#

I mean, it COULD be 'grow 3 dragons' then go to 'location' to get 'growth'

stray notch
#

its where all the confusen is

deep gyro
#

Have to go to a friend? A place?
To get help, grouped, nested, etc.
To reach the highest points? To find bugs/water? To rest??

stray notch
#

see, thats why its interesting ^

deep gyro
#

I’m wondering what thing makes you have to go somewhere

tardy perch
#

Or maybe a elder shroom appears at x location after you've done the 3 word thing

deep gyro
#

Go out for milk

tardy perch
#

lol XD

tardy perch
#

It could be a random spot, or client-side only so it's not like someone can go eat it

deep gyro
#

There’s gotta be a somewhere or someone that’s not campable

tardy perch
#

But yeah you are right if the location is set, it's campable surely

#

Is there something on the map that like...isn't in the same place all the time?

deep gyro
#

What other things can someone go to I’m googling it

tardy perch
#

I don't think there is sadly

tame crest
#

Go to bed. haha

#

Tuck your wee dragon into bed and get a good nights sleep.

stray notch
#

persons
food
nest
water
mushrooms
rocks
clouds/sky

#

thats all i can think about

deep gyro
#

Go to sleep to get.. stamina? Second wind? Heal?

#

Does asd get anything like second wind btw? The stam mechanic?

tame crest
#

No

stray notch
#

yesterday i was gonna grow an asd only on mushrooms but acidentally ate a bug at 90% juv

#

it seemed interesting

restive barn
#

i was thinking maybe the first step might be getting the first passive elder tick

stray notch
tardy perch
#

first you need to 'sleep all night' ? XD

#

That's easy to do for sure lol

#

Just boring

tame crest
#

I'm just throwing random stuff out haha

stray notch
#

hey i need some help on a video i cant find
it was jao explaining in a dev stream some new stuff in test server, trying pearls and testing UI, can someone pls give me the video?

tardy perch
#

Or it's something as simple as 'grow to adult' and all of this is hinging on a certain location we haven't found yet

stray notch
#

i need it for a theory

deep gyro
#

Locations to “get” something

stray notch
#

i mean all we have is horrible hints

#

that doesnt lead to anything

deep gyro
#

Yeah

stray notch
#

jao needs to understand that we need some hint to start thinking not throw some random thing that doesnt help at all and call it a hint

deep gyro
#

Not even a riddle atp WhyBruh

stray notch
#

he never gave any new hint for like 4 days?

#

what is he thinking

deep gyro
#

First you need to [have healthy diet] then you obviously have to go to [PlanetFitness] to get [exercise]

#

= stronk

stray notch
#

:\

deep gyro
#

Kinda wanna ask if the [redacted]s are confirmed to be a single word
Or if they are multiple

stray notch
#

wait a minute... what if this is the "tools"?

deep gyro
#

That would be nice to rule out so it makes sense

deep gyro
#

One redacted can be multiple words?? That would be impossible

#

You can fit a whole sentence in a redacted if you wanted and we have no way to know what’s in there

#

I hope it’s a single word for each one

stray notch
#

bro im even 1 calling through clouds, charging and everything

deep gyro
#

Imma try asking ;w;

stray notch
native yacht
#

already tried that also

stray notch
#

where can i find thhe passive ticks amount?

naive otter
#

and any others

acoustic holly
stray notch
#

im trying the ravine theory

#

it should work

#

i have 4 ticks, all agility

#

WHAT IS SS TICK? 1.2???

lost lichen
stray notch
lost lichen
stray notch
#

yeah i know

#

4 ticks should be 4.8, right?

dense current
#

there are def smaller decimal places we can't see with the ticks

#

prob why you're at 5 and not 4.8

stray notch
#

seems like it

#

also i wonder whats the thing about crater

deep gyro
#

When I got my ss tick today it said 1.3
So it rounds up from 1.26 I believe?

stray notch
#

seems like it yup

#

its 1.25+ bc i had 5.0 in 4 ticks

#

so around 26

#

any fem SS on sanctuary wanna nest in crater?

#

hold on did anyone already try that?

dense current
#

don't think so because of how far it is from food and how glitchy carrying bugs is

stray notch
dense current
#

ive sniffed around crater multiple times and found nothing xD

dense current
#

yea there aint many bug spawns around crater :c

robust crypt
#

I mean Avengers Endgame

A franchise reference, the Infinity Gauntlet

All the colors of the infinity stones are in the game. So basically what I'm saying is it could be a Marvel Reference.

#

When I'm actually able to play more/focus more on the game I'll do a bit more of my own testing/recording my gameplay and see if I come across anything

steady rock
#

Maybe try the order thanos gained the Stones ín? Or the order they showed up ín the movies?

robust crypt
#

That's what I was thinking, yeah

#

Unironically those same colors also account for the lightsaber colors from the brief Google searching I did earlier, if we wanna tie it back to the Star Wars Galaxies reference

steady rock
#

What is endgame ín Star wars galaxies? Can that offer hints?

proper patio
#

I flew around the whole map as I brainstormed the clues, still trying to figure it out but found this interesting ground shape in the process 🤔

proper patio
#

Booo lol

#

That's no fun

vivid compass
#

Has anyone tried eating a bug from each spawn location?

robust crypt
# steady rock What is endgame ín Star wars galaxies? Can that offer hints?

That I don't know, I just know if Endgame is a franchise reference then people are more likely going to think of Avengers Endgame, which then draws attention to the infinity stones, which if we then tie it back to Star Wars it brings to mind the colors of the Lightsabers. That's just my thought process, though.

#

Again, I will actually do a bit more gameplay following my train of thought on the subject when I have the time to do so.

#

Because I know my thought process can be a bit... Odd 😅

stray notch
#

oh so endgame meant an end of something like a movie/game wtv

#

thought it was something more specific

robust crypt
#

No, I literally mean the Marvel movie Avengers: Endgame

frail salmon
#

Any updates?

stray notch

stray notch
#

okay so what happend is

#

REDACTED

stray notch
#

but why

#

and how

robust crypt
robust crypt
stray notch
#

no i meant why would he make it crystals

#

also, we did every single possible thing with them

#

didnt work

robust crypt
#

shrugs It's the only thing I could really connect from thinking about both Endgame and Star Wars

man i swear to god

#

i can feel it so obvious

#

but i just

#

i lack knowledge

#

in some sort

native yacht
#

how obvious is the obvious?

naive oxide
#

not very obvious

stray notch
#

like, being overlooked

somber shuttle
#

Jao you’re overestimating your community, we require our hints to be dumbed down >:[

native yacht
#

nothing has been overlooked, we have done it all

stray notch
#

other wise u didnt do everything possible

fading canyon
#

Ik it was a joke msg but has anyone actually tried doing emotes and actions in a specific order? just out of curiosity

native yacht
#

yes.

fading canyon
#

Every single emote along with sitting, laying, eating, killing bugs, sleeping etc XD

native yacht
#

yes.

#

and think about it, we emote to get 1-3% tick for eldering?

naive oxide
#

it could kind of like that thing people had to do where it was like up down left right a b start whatever whatever

#

prob not but who knows lol

native yacht
#

i cant believe dude came in said "it's endgame" after all we've done an requested... no shiz eldering is endgame

#

this is all the "phrases" we been working with: #hinthint #hint #jaohint

One of his hints said it is hard to figure out, but cool to do.

**
according to jao it can be done at any time of day

**
you must take the first step before you can climb the elder ladder

**
"Its endgame"

acoustic holly
#

Watch there’s a hidden “endgame” button we all missed.

native yacht
#

elderinh is hard to figure out but cool to do.
Eldering could always be done at anytime of the day

timber laurel
#

I believe this is all of the hints/quotes we have thus far..

#

"you must take the first step before you can climb the elder ladder"
"if you want to elder then you must redacted redacted redacted"
"it is hard to figure out, but cool to do."
"it can be done at any time of day"
"making it more dragonish“
"Its endgame"

#hinthint #hint #jaohint

#

(Thank you for the new ones drago)

native yacht
#

wait why did he put endgame together.. normally its end game? no?

timber laurel
#

I wouldn't read too much into it

native yacht
#

you right

#

can you put hash tags on your quotes so its easier for peeps to find later

#

kinda like i did with hinthint

timber laurel
#

Better?

native yacht
#

thank you my good sir

timber laurel
#

'course.

somber shuttle
#

So I’m gonna go WAYYYY out there on this theory with the Endgame comment. If there’s a way to get fragments of each color of crystal, and combine them in some way to make an elder pearl? That’d be pretty cool 😂

“If you want to elder you must (combine the crystals)? Hard to figure out, cool concept. Hoarding crystals seems more dragonish. Like I said, an idea that’s WAY out there, and I haven’t found anything interact-able with the crystals.

stray notch
#

HOW HOW HOW HOW

#

im okay with this theory

#

but GUYS

#

E button is assigned as "intract button"
its not only eat, it has lots of uses

#

but guess what?! there is nothing but eat/pick up/drink/pick hatchling

#

we cant intract wth crystals or anything by any way

#

also crystals are campable

#

its all pain pain pain pain

#

HOLD ON

somber shuttle
#

That was my thought too. Crystals are super campable. And I haven’t seen any sort of extra spawns or fragment spawns.

This game hurts me 😂

stray notch
#

U HAD TO SACRIFCE AN ELDER TO GET FIRE DRAKE RIGHT?!

#

the fire big dinosaur like thing, was confirmed to be that way (or some other dragon)

#

so, what if u sacrifice an adult dragon to these?!

tardy perch
#

No, sacrificing an elder was to unlock elemental

stray notch
#

or maybe just a hatchling

stray notch
#

did we try that?

tardy perch
#

I doubt it since eldering via just passives takes about a month and a half, and 1.0 hasn't been out that long

stray notch
#

also guys, what do we know about the mysterious HUGE trees around the map?

#

wolfy, i didnt watch the movie tbh but was there smth interesting about how thanos go the crystals? like he did something?

fading canyon
#

Well paradise will have a cave under it eventually its just covered rn

soul stone requires sacrifice of the thing you love the most and is yellow

XD nono the stone is yellow, sorry

or technically orange, the mind stone was yellow i believe

but reality is red, time is green, space is blue and power is porpol

#

please bro just accept it

native yacht
#

bro aint there.......

stray notch
#

guys hold on im getting somewhere trust me drago

fading canyon
#

Sorta, most of them were kinda just with ppl or hidden the soul stone was the only one that actually had any kind of special way of obtainint it

#

Which was sacraficing the thing you loved most

stray notch
#

which is orange stone?

fading canyon
#

mhm

#

Space stone was in the tesseract which is first seen in thor

#

Mind stone was in lokis scepter originally but in Ultron it was placed into visions head

stray notch
#

hello? bro where are ur knees

fading canyon
#

The reality stone is the Aether

cinder musk
#

I see you all talking about paradise cave... they arent going to put something for eldering where most dragons cant go... besides the bio cant even elder. its going to be somewhere where all can complete it

fading canyon
#

Power stone was in the Orb in gaurdians of the galaxy

#

And time stone was in the Eye of agamotton in doctor strange

stray notch

somber shuttle
#

It was just a cool picture posted. We weren’t considering it for eldering

stray notch
#

so i gotta sacifice to orange crystal. got it. someone wanna nest with iconic Male SS sanctuary for science (also kids go back to god)

last minnow
#

right lol

heavy ridge
#

Well first you need to go to ||the water|| to get ||a drink|| and then obviously you need to ||lay down|| ||take a nap|| and ||come back refreshed and rehydrated||

hybrid wave
#

Could it have something to do with the sleep-timer? Kinda like how you have to wait a minute before you can safe-log, you'd just have to [REDACTED] then you must go to sleep to get [REDACTED] (possibly 1 tic rewarded?)

last minnow
#

we honestly are trying to figure out what to do so you can get said tick

stray notch
#

im never thinking about it from now on

#

thats some bullsh**

wide canopy
#

It was mentioned its endgame, do ANY servers have 18a sonice

last minnow
#

not even 4 a LOL

naive oxide
#

bro my server is still fighting with Es wails

#

bloodlines gotta be bugged, my ss is a B bloodline yet i have 9E

tardy perch
#

That isn't a bug. BL is different from your other gene grades

#

I beleive to get rid of those E's, you gotta breed two A BL dragons with matching gene grades together and there's a chance the grade will go up one (better chances with full social tree plus dom maybe?)

bleak python
#

There’s a breeding thread that helps with breeding 💜 I think it started out as a skin thread for future update

#

#1208688274189844481 message

languid spoke
#

that one is still for skins i believe

tardy perch
#

There's very little talk of the gene side of inheritance in that yeah

languid spoke
#

want me to make a stat thread lol

tardy perch
#

I for the most part understand it myself. My only questions was literally how to improve the stats once you get to A BL. Which I thought was matching like genes in like grades. With or without dom is the question though if it helps or not.

#

If you can answer me that confidently, then I'll be happy

tardy perch
#

anyway that isn't about eldering soooo XD

native yacht
#

yea lets keep this one eldering please

plucky cosmos
#

well, i see sanity has not been regained, and no progress has been made
I think I'll just watch and stay away, to keep the crazy at bay

devout anvil
#

Jao's funny calling eldering endgame when it takes like 2-3 hours to reach the end of the game LOL

dense current
#

we aint endgame till everyone has full a stats in both dom and recessive haha

devout anvil
#

LOL

#

no

dawn pelican
#

||good morning||

slender arrow
#

Endgame to me sounds like 18As bloodline A

dawn pelican
#

We already said it's not related to stats

slender arrow
#

So what’s endgame in this game to you lmfao

dawn pelican
#

Idk how am I supposed to know

#

It vastly differs depending on the type of server you play

slender arrow
#

Exactly the only thing to do here besides PvP is nest the endgame for this game currently is getting to As on your dragon

#

Everyone tried everything else already from flying above the clouds to crystals lol to taking bugs to the crystal to sacrifice them .. literally the only endgame is to reach all As

native yacht
#

and then what? you get a constant tick of 1-3% ever second? just for being a bloodline?

slender arrow
#

That’s the million dollar question

static mesa
#

if it's 18 A BL A then it won't work for PVP servers. imagine having to grind all the way up when you join a PVP server just to elder once then die. and no it doesn't work if someone nests you because it has to be done solo aswell

native yacht
#

this is why we keep saying breeding and nesting are off the charts. you could have been an E spawn elder in Legacy. im pretty sure he kept the same principle

radiant hull
#

at this point we get elder on behemoths faster than normal dragons LOL

mild smelt
#

Would we perhaps like to compile what has already been tested? I mean, there are limited possibilities of what can be done and what cannot be done.

native yacht
#

at this point, eldering is a dlc

turbid copper
#

bro lol

mild smelt
#

Some people on the official servers say it's only the elder system through passive ticks in the game.

novel oak
#

that cant be what jao ment tho as we wouldnt call it cool to do

mild smelt
#

I mean, it's understandable. Several days have passed, and the fact that no one has figured it out yet is quite surprising. To be honest, I'm starting to doubt if it's even in the game. We've tried everything on our server, and nothing has worked.

#

The only theory we haven't been able to test so far is the one suggesting that you need to have an A Bloodline and full A Stats before being able to use active elderring. However, it seems unlikely since it's not achievable solo, let alone on PvP servers without a huge clan backing you up.

agile edge
#

Maybe it’s in the game but there is a bug/glitch preventing it from working. FrogThink

deft spruce
#

If its endgame, did yall read the credits?

mild smelt
#

Well, the endgame in DoD would be reaching the adult status.

deft spruce
#

Or would that be the first step :)

mild smelt
#

Yes, we've all reached that point, and yes, I've read the credits, including the very sad story about Rhino's father.

mild smelt
celest knoll
#

Maybe we are just missing the key point of this "endgame" to find out how to elder exactly. There must be a possible way that we are just not realizing right now

mild smelt
novel oak
#

i took first steps as either where you hatched, or first elder tick

celest knoll
#

Should it be soloable? I mean the only QaA i read was, solos have the passiv ticks right now or did Jao mention It must be soloable?

#

didnt find any information about the solo thing and Maybe just maybe, its not for solo players and we are missleading ourselves 😂

mild smelt
celest knoll
novel oak
#

Yea it would lock people out just if a clan refuses to let you join or won’t nest you because they want all the eggs for their own

mild smelt
celest knoll
pearl root
#

I never get a response about my question in the Q&A. So maybe it isnt a solo thing ^^

mild smelt
mild smelt
pearl root
#

Jao said he want the eldering be more social..so ^^

celest knoll
rapid radish
#

"Take the first step": get nested?

celest knoll
#

First Step: Getting adult and find nesting partners maybe

#

Then upstat your dragons to some key point

#

and then i dont know

#

do what dragons do, fly, eat, drink, bonk?

pearl root
#

call and sleep

mild smelt
#

So, on our server, we've achieved A Bloodline for all species and are now working on getting rid of the E Stats. We've already achieved this on FS, and I'll be sure to let you know if anything changes once we reach full A Stats and can actively elder. That's the only thing we haven't been able to test yet.

novel oak
#

To try it we could all go on one server and everyone clan up to upstat each other

celest knoll
novel oak
#

Everyone do dominant traits

celest knoll

#

i don't think it's stats based

If it's locked behind stats, then how pvp players would do it? those that play solo

Bro this wouldn't be fair at all lol

rapid radish
#

Well who said Jao wanted it to be fair? 😄

turbid copper
#

bro what

vapid oxide
#

^ 100% this. Giving a MASSIVE advantage to clans will kill the game. It's not fair at all

rapid radish
#

I have not seen any proof, that Jao said it is suppose to be available to solos

celest knoll
rapid radish
#

and solos can still elders, but slower

mint tulip
#

watch noone ever figures it out without devs telling us

turbid copper
#

do you imagine how many players would leave because they can't solo in pvp?

rapid radish
#

there are solo pvp server tho now?

#

with no clans?

vapid oxide
#

Yes. Dragonborne

#

Locking elders behind clans entirely negates servers like that

turbid copper
#

A lot of players on pvp just want to play solo and that's fair cuz there's a lot of toxic ppl

celest knoll
pearl root
#

Its not locked behind clans..just find a mate. everyone can find some.

turbid copper
vapid oxide

#

More Social,..just as Jao want it.

#

Do you think a solo player on pvp would agree to passive elder for 5 months?

rapid radish
turbid copper
mild smelt
rapid radish
pearl root
#

Exactly

celest knoll
turbid copper
#

If is this case then a solo player wouldn't even have the time to passive grow because of the clans that active elder cuz they will just get killed lol

rapid radish
#

Like Siberian said, we are not claiming it's not soloable, we are entertaining the idea, that what if it isn't?

pearl root
#

Maybe Jao mean with his "make the first step" find a mate 😛

vapid oxide
celest knoll
rapid radish
mild smelt
rapid radish
#

Also, what about unlocking mela? that is not soloable either

pearl root
#

True!

vapid oxide
# celest knoll who forces you to not group up with others to do exactly what clans do? no one ...

I'm sorry if I come off as aggressive, I'm just trying to get my point that it's a bad idea from a gameplay standpoint as one part of the population playing this game. I don't have the time to spend a month or more getting elder through passive ticks, and seeing clans get it in a matter of a week or less from having an active method would 1000% kill any interest I'd have in playing this game any further because it's simply unfair at that point

celest knoll
vapid oxide
#

At this point every major clan would have elders if it WAS locked behind group content, and they don't

turbid copper
#

Exactly

celest knoll
#

maybe im wrong but thats fine for me. If it would be true, okay solo players get F* yeah.

celest knoll
rapid radish
#

but Jao's hint suggests that it is multistepped process 🤷‍♀️

celest knoll
#

even big clans didnt Reach full A on one dragon right now as far as i know.

rapid radish
mild smelt
#

On the other hand, this wouldn't be the first questionable decision, if we're being honest. After all the delay drama and everything, they're making a part of the game inaccessible to us under the guise that we have to figure it out ourselves, with hints that don't really help, and the statement that it would be changed in the next update if we don't figure it out. It's all rather dubious and not accommodating to the player base.

vapid oxide
#

^ this also. I'm all for trying to figure a mechanic out in games, but two weeks have passed and we need a more concrete hint before they decide to just scrap the system and change it completely

mild smelt
#

So if we set all that aside and assume that it cannot be achieved by solo players either, upstating would be the easiest method to reduce the elder population and ensure that players have plenty to do. So if the first step is to achieve flat A stats, what would be the next step?

heavy ridge

#

At every day that passes, I only get closer to lose 100% of my sanity over [REDACTED]

vapid oxide
#

Given that Jao is looking like he's leaning towards changing the way we elder since we haven't figured it out by now, I don't personally believe upstatting to all A stats is the way to kickstart it either

rapid radish
mild smelt
turbid copper
#

It can't be stats, cuz it has to be something that would have been discovered by now, and stats are still a long way till ppl reach to A stats

mild smelt
turbid copper
vapid oxide
# mild smelt Okay, but what then? Everything else has been tested with all possible combinati...

I don't know, and that's why I said we need a concrete hint now to try and figure it out. If the head dev is thinking about changing the method to attaining elder only two weeks of 1.0 soft launching, then it's safe to assume it's not something that would be timegated to something that could easily take more than two weeks like upstatting to the best stats. Because the way nesting works now, you can get an A blood line, but STILL have a ton of E stats and that's after extensive nesting being done by those players for the last two weeks

mild smelt
# turbid copper I didn't said immediately lol

your point is that the upstates may not be the solution. You argue that people have not yet reached such stats, but that's beside the point because it's potentially achievable in the game, but it takes time.

turbid copper
#

Who is arguing?

celest knoll
mild smelt
turbid copper
#

I still think it's something that must be triggered but how, i don't know, this is just my opinion peepoShrug

mild smelt
#

Guys, I don't want the first step to be that either, you can believe me. But we shouldn't overlook the fact that it's entirely possible.

#

If you look at it entirely neutrally, without any emotionality, what are the first steps a dragon can take: becoming an adult, flying, swimming, in our case, getting the best possible stats, fighting an enemy (dragon/bug), exploring the environment, finding something special.

#

The last one is likely ruled out since it shouldn't be campable, although I haven't read that in any message from the devs either.

novel oak
#

cant be collecting coz there is no weight stats for your carry inventory yet either, at least mine shows 0/0

mild smelt
#

Exploring the map... well, I believe we've all been doing that all along, and so far, nothing has been found. Everything that has been found are the crystals, with which we've tried all sorts of things on our server: nesting right next to them, bringing bugs to the crystals, using various emotes, shooting the crystals, interacting with them, flying into them, running into them, attacking them with all sorts of bile combinations...

#

We even started flying above the clouds and letting hatchlings glide down to see if flight training is the key. Looked funny, but nope.

novel oak
#

that wouldnt be possible for asd tho

hallow mountain
mild smelt
novel oak
#

im wondering why it was changed that the cloaking on ss doesnt constantly reduce stam, same with IR, eternal ability

mild smelt
hallow mountain
#

Heat vision timer can be kept active by hitting Q at the right time, it will use more stamina and extend the time

novel oak
#

fs seems only one that stayed the same, i was wondering if the eldering had something to do with the abilities

turbid copper
#

At this point it must be something triggered as i said, something that a programmer would do

hallow mountain
#

But that brings us back to the problem

#

We don't know what action triggers the progress

turbid copper
#

yeah that's the problem

hallow mountain
#

Now question

#

When people were testing new theories, that was BEFORE jao told us "you must take the first step"

#

So I suspect that we found the solution already, but didn't notice because the dragon didn't have any passive elder progress

#

When it tested the theory

rapid radish
#

but ppl were talking about trials and multistepped process bc of the Star Wars Jedi-thing

hallow mountain
#

The what?

rapid radish
#

Jao mentioned Star wars Galaxies in the Q&A and ppl explored that possibility for days

turbid copper
#

Yea but that was more of an example that if he will tell us everyone would be an elder, like happened there and everyone was jedi

On the topic of nesting and getting rid of these hidden stats, I could help on my private server, but I would talk about it more privately. Anyone interested, pm me/invite to group, once I’m home from work I will go into detail what I have in store 😉

Everyones elder ticks have been .9% right? Im sitting at 5.5% this morning and thats not divisable by .9.

that would make sense... I was trying to figure out if I had done something different.

My elder ticks have been like 2.1% or 2.5% (I don't remember which, but one of them) but that's on Asd.

rapid radish
#

0.917% on IR & FS, 2.1% on ASD and 1.25-1.26% od SS

vale mortar
#

The fact that Jao said if we cannot figure it out he will change it.. but why change it and the hints given aren't even really hints. I think at this point we are being thrown in a loop to keep interest in the game until it does get put into the game.

the fact he says that means its something simple that anyone should be able do

Yeah, I fully expect "Since you haven't figured it out, eldering must be too hard, so we completely remade it!" in the future patch notes, and then they enable it...

We found something yet?

#

Or we just give up and wait for a change/hint?

Pretty much most of us are waiting

yeah until they actually give us a useful hint or the update where they “change it” i think most of us have given up

I mean pretty sure we did everything thats in game unless there is some fake wall like in elden rin you shoot and open up some giant hidden place thats uncampable lol. sorry been playing elden ring again

sly cedar
#

At least in those games you hit things woth your weapons and "destroy the illusion." In this game, you think it would make sense to run around randomly biting trees or rock walls? Lol

#

You know what I kinda want? "You feel stronger..." followed by an ingame popup text message that explains what Eldering is and that you just got a passive growth tick. It happens every 12hrs, but there are other methods. See if you can find them! And then maybe some of the benefits to becoming an elder.

I just gone throw this out, so we have nightvison but u dont need it really cuase the night time is so lighten up. I wonder if nightvison can have a part of it to discover a hiden place,portal,item ect. Just a thought

To the point of starvation on bio, asd and ss

i get bio is the fastest to search with but wont help us figure out eldering which is why i stopped using the bio to search

Not risking my fs on a pvp server💀

naive otter

now i starve on myy IR, ASD and SS xD

turbid prawn

Only used bio when we were on the pearl theory

To see if I could zip through and see it rolling or spawning

ah makes sense

#

have we got anything to test?

turbid prawn

Nope ;-; we at a dead end rn

if only we can figure out what exactly is endgame

There is no endgame without eldering so kinda just deathmatch for everyone right now

I saw something on a PvP server yesterday about a place in the coords 7000 west, and they said that was where we elder, I'm going to see if they were lying or not

I ran into a wall at 750 west

that might be a glitched spot

i know i've hit a few invisible walls here and there

I'm out of hope that there is a way to elder now

languid spoke
#

there is a way.....we just haven't figured it out

tardy perch
#

It exists. We just haven't found the trigger yet. Most likely Jap will put us out of our misery before we actually find the method. It's supposedly so easy that we'll kick ourselves for how easy it is

vale flicker
#

If we had enough people willing we could go on a private server and try to get the all A stats. As long as we still can grow ourselves.

hot ferry
#

I'm happy to host or help out in another server if the growth is disabled.

languid spoke
#

my server has growth disabled

#

only issue there is: growth is disabled.
meaning if all A's is the way to elder....we won't know until we have all A's and enable growth and then pray that the offspring contain all A's

hot ferry
#

bfthink It'd still be better than trying to do the same with adults.

languid spoke
#

oh true

#

if anyone wants to try i'm available for at least an hour or so to contribute with my dragons, one does already have a dom and recessive A on one stat

I wish I could trust enough people to just be able to give anyone willing to help with upstating admin in my server.

It'd make slaying so much easier xD

You know you can slay yourself, yeah? It just takes longer having someone else do it.

#

I'll hop on for a short while if we get other people who want to give it a try.

languid spoke

it's a work night for me, so i'm only good for another hour.......i can ask the other server owner if she can hop on if needed, but otherwise......if people want to do it tomorrow around this time all 3 of us should be around

High level dragons

Fully explored map

#

Maybe all achievements?

#

Like steam achievements

gloomy sand
#

there are no steam achievements for this game

#

and if there is no official list, or notification in game, to let you know you've unlocked an achievement?

#

how could anyone possibly know what they'd done right or wrong

#

any action one had taken in the course of their dragon's life could be considered part of the process which makes whittling it down impossible

plucky cosmos
#

pretty much. we have nothing to build from nor any way to know if we're doing it right

tardy perch
#

As much as I wanna know how to elder, I can wait till Jao spills. Cuz yeah until some players oops do it and KNOW they did it, we have clues that help very very little. We'd need like a 'hot or cold' QnA just for eldering to get anywhere XD

This might be a stretch and completely unrelated, but there are 4 different bug colors (black, dull red/brown, bright red, scarlet) and four different elderable playables atm, and I'm wondering if you have to eat a certain number of a certain color for your dragon to get a tic?

#

I assume if it IS related, the brown would be for Drake, black for SS, bright red/scarlet for FS/IR

And X amount of bugs is not it aswell, i have 30% elder dragon grew with passive growth. Im sure i ate more than enough bugs haha

#

It lowkey feels like they didnt even do the elder system. Cuz lets be honest PVE players would have already found out (imo). Im starting to have lil doubts that they just said “ YALL GOTTA FIND OUT, ITS A SECRET WAY” just to keep PVE players busy meanwhile they dont even know themselves.. i of course could be wrong but i think PVE players would have found it since they as i heard already tried everything. (Again i could be wrong but since they delaying everything and with their bs we pullin up for 5 years i wouldnt be surprised).

hybrid wave
#

SS has a tic rate of 1.2 right? I have 1.3 somehow, it was my first passive tic, before I started any testing.

plucky cosmos
#

the exact number looks to be 1.26, which causes the display to round it up to 1.3

#

nvm, that's not the right number

#

no, its supposed to be 1.2

#

hold on, there's an inconsistency now

#

what were you doing before your tick came?

hybrid wave
#

the only special thing I recal doing was growing without logging

plucky cosmos
#

hmmm

#

needs more testing in that case

hybrid wave
#

ah, i also didn't assign my points until I was nearly adult, (I put them in social). At one point I visited a snowy mountain, layed down for a while then flew through the clouds for a bit, and reached adult while flying through the clouds as well, I'm remembering now

plucky cosmos
#

i wish other peeps were online, i dont have the braains to go through all the factors again

#

ok, maybe holding off on mutation points does something, dont remember anyone mentioning that

#

maybe you have to line up specific actions when the passive tick comes up?

hybrid wave
#

next time I get nested, I'll wait to assign my points again

#

perhaps?

plucky cosmos
#

but that wouldnt work for asds, the flying part i mean

hybrid wave
#

right

plucky cosmos

still, best try it anyway, i already got all my ticks on my main server unfortunately, so maybe others can test this when people are awake

i wanna say my second tick was 4.2 though

I'm starting to get the feeling that the Elder thing is just there to keep PVE players busy. So that the dev has enough time to fix things in the background. And at some point the real Elder system will be secretly introduced. ^^

#

It's just strange that no one has found even a clue.

dense current
#

yeah fr

mild smelt
#

I mean, we've got many players looking for it since the update, about 100-200, if not more. It's strange that none of them have found it yet.

rapid radish
#

But hey, at least we have our daily princess ;p

mild smelt
#

Haha, we're doomed to not be able to elder for ages, just over time. Oh man!

acoustic holly
#

But I hoped when people said orange scent that it meant something to follow for eldering, not variations to colors that have been in the game since beta.

mild smelt
#

I still stick to the A Bloodline A stat theory. The good thing is, yesterday we had our third dragon without E stats in the upstate. With luck, we might be able to banish the D's on ours this week.

turbid copper
#

if it would be that, then why do we get ticks on any dragon?monkaHmm

mild smelt
#

Because there are two elder methods: one that is unlocked through passive ticks once the adult status is reached, and the other method that is supposed to be active or grindable, which we are trying to figure out here.

I mean...if your game has 2 years between updates....there are gonna be a lot of elders. Esp on PvE servers LOL

turbid copper
#

yeah also that, on pve there will always be more elders, cuz they don't die

stuck minnow
#

Well there's also nothing else to do after reaching A stats, eldering is the only other activity besides nesting

stable comet
#

It's gotta be artificial playtime extension

mild smelt
stable comet
#

Its could be too fake hope

mild smelt
# stable comet You gotta think about it

I don't need to think about it, the statement is there is a second method to elder, not just the ticks. If that's your opinion that there's only one, then what are you doing here?

sweet flicker
#

I'm curious how many messages and how many hours people have spent trying to figure this out...if this ends up being a big joke, and it's just not even in the game yet, I feel like many people will be angry x)

plucky cosmos
#

in just this thread, it looks like 21,686 messages

stuck minnow
#

If they come out to say it's not active/implemented or not finished despite saying it was. I will prolly stop playing this game that I love .-.

sweet flicker
#

Yeah same, just disappointing to not be able to trust them

mild smelt
#

Let's hope it doesn't come to that. I know several who have already stopped playing the game because they're extremely upset about the whole delay drama, and then adding a mechanic that's supposedly in there but saying "you have to figure it out" – I'm afraid if that turns out to be a joke or a lie to buy time, they'll lose some players.

I just wish that one of the devs would make a statement to clarify things. That way, we'd have a clear indication that it's active and in the game, which would calm things down. And if we're lucky, maybe even another hint.

stable comet
#

They already did

#

If you looked through this thread

#

And we probably aren't getting another hint

#

they said a while ago that maybe if we're lucky they

#

they'll* tell us in a few months

#

but who knows

mild smelt
#

I'm aware of the current hints; that's the problem. The opinion is spreading that it's in the game, but like the weather system, not active. Not to mention that no one has still figured it out.

#

The mention of "a few months" is somewhat strange, given that it was stated if we don't figure it out by the next update, the system will be changed (for whatever reason one would want to restart this madness).

snow furnace
#

they are not taking us seriously, trying to fool us with these statements while there is no system in the game at all

frail salmon

There is no system atm for elder besides passive ticks. Jao said that he would make it easier for us to reach elder if we didn’t find how to do it because he hasn’t added it besides passive ticks.

The amount of times I’ve smacked into the waterfalls at different spots going with the rule “there’s always a cave behind a water fall” has not prevailed.

Yeah.. sadly

But do you remember before the release there was a cave in the rock with a portal? What if it was moved somewhere?

bleak python
#

All the caves have been checked and no one’s found anything

#

And that would be pretty camp-able if there was a portal

remote meteor
#

not if the portal was a rando spawn

gloomy sand
#

Just an fyi, the mods and admins do not know how to elder

#

maybe the seniors who are getting paid do

#

But the regular staff do not. So when they insist that yes, it is in the game, they are just repeating what they’re being told. They don’t technically know for sure either.

cold summit

I thiiiiiink I saw it only once in PvE, makes me think it has to do with hatchlings dying to bugs or bugs bleeding

mellow dawn
#

Do you remember where?

pulsar swift
#

I've had varying degrees of orange to very red orange that point me towards bleeding/wounded hatchies

#

Very common on pvp servers, at all spawns and pools around the map

#

Cant say for adult/juvies tho but I figure they'd have the same effect

cold summit
#

I get red scent for wounded hatchlings (saw one leading to a hatchlings ss who was cloaking beside me)

mellow dawn
#

I think at one time the same marker for best used to be for clues too

restive barn
#

i got the orange scent once but couldnt find anything

cold summit
# mellow dawn Do you remember where?

Probably one of the elder forest spawns, as soon as update was up. So many hatchlings were killing each others or dying to bugs, many hatchling corpses left behind

restive barn
#

it could be related to hatchling

#

but i doubt its related to bugs bleeding or whatever

#

even wounded bugs still has the purple scent

cold summit
#

I havent been able to see it anymore on an empty spawn (with 2-3 hatchlings, pvp)

restive barn
#

why dont they just give the info for what scents leads to LOL

cold summit
#

I wonder if it's actual bleeding (little red scratch icon bottom right), are hatchlings even able to cause that

#

but then doesnt solve the fact i (miiiight) have seen it in pve

#

(I could have accidentally joined a pvp server instead)

restive barn
#

I saw mine

#

in pve

#

sanctuary server

#

so it does exists in pve

The only way to elder is with the passive ticks the “ dev doesn’t have the coding capabilities to add something unique , he can’t even fix the current game after 2 years hitbox is horrendous , dysc happens to everyone all the time ,Clint side is bad dragon blows fire 🔥 your 20 miles away you burn but on there screen your in there face ….even the food they still havnt added more food ,it’s impossible to takeoff with out crashing on the ground issues that have been in the game since beta so if all these things are still in issue what makes you guys think there actual new way to elder lol 😂 everyone in there mother has tried everything and nothing just accept that the only way to elder is with passive ticks and let’s move on

But yes, I think you all should leave the different scents alone. As I discovered with my friend, depending on your graphics card and monitor, it can change the look of colors (distinctly blue to one person is very purple to another, etc.)

# slender arrow The only way to elder is with the passive ticks the “ dev doesn’t have the codin...

I completely agree. I personally have given up on this project since I no longer believe it's actually in game besides elder ticks. If it is, then I feel like it is bugged. It's baffling that no one has figured it out, even on pve servers (when pve figured it out less than 2 days in legacy with the shrooms and we are working with just about the same amount of content, if not less than what we had in legacy). However, don't yuck someone else's yum bonkcat . Some folks still have hope into figuring it out and to be honest, good on them. They have more patience than I do. Allow them to enjoy themselves. I'm always looking forward to be proven wrong and shown that's it is in fact there.

# acoustic holly Where’s it located? I could prolly throw someone down there as an experiment.

yk that mountian west to paradise , the snowy top, u mut go to the cliff East side of it and look through the cliff to see it right under u (probably under the snowy mountain its self)
my observations were that the shape of the overall model seemed like arch cave, maybe a copy of it or a whole other one, but PUT IN MIND that cave was so f**ing deep down there like the length of 5 paradise trees

i gave up when jao gave his 2 hints which were. "you have to climb the first step before the ladder" and "its end game"

#

ill just sit here and passive grow till i get elder

I think it all has to do with getting dragons to flat A's then it unlocks. First step its the hatching process the ladder is getting to A's and its end game because the last step is elder and A+'s

Making it 'I realize this was too hard but I don't want to devalue your efforts as a community by just telling you'

I'll tell you as someone who both plays and dms D&D, people will get stuck trying to push a pull door. Legitimately, my own table spent 2 hours on a staircase puzzle, the solution was "use the stairs while wanting a location". We kept barking up the wrong trees for hours.

The more levels of complexity, even in the simplest, MOST OBVIOUS puzzles, the harder it's going to be to put it together and most people Do Not realize that.

Take the mela unlock for example. The origional conditions (it has changed since) were grow to adult in one session as a nested Iconic. People got it on accident. They narrowed down that it had something to do with growing an Iconic. Some of them were convinced that it had to be in one session. But people couldnt replicate it. It took 3 months and Jao spilling the beans for it to come together that it was nested iconics, specifically.

Puzzles like this are hard, and in times of internet guides and games that have been out for years, people forget that.

When does the music start playing? Is it when you get super high?

sterile isle
#

How do you see your Elder stats? I was just running down the big maintain as ASD adult and I got a message saying "you feel stronger"

#

Idk if that means anything

deep cargo
#

Maybe the first step isn't about your own dragon. Maybe it's helping the newer generation as an elder would. Has anyone tried dropping a hatchie of their own species from a high point? (where the music starts playing) ASD would of course be different.

#

well it's simple, first step is be adult. Then we can climb the elder ladder.

#

no need to complicate things more than they need to be

# sterile isle Idk if that means anything

That is an elder growth message. You can see your elder growth in the character menu. There are passive ticks earnable every 12 hours from logins.

You're not the first person to report a tick descending at high speeds near a mountain. How long did it take between your login and getting that message?

I call BS, that moderator was told to give that response. There isn't active eldering.

Bro if they add those stupid mushrooms back next update

I hope that's not what they change it to

Cuz that's why it was changed in the first place, cuz it was toxic, and competitive

#

and camped a lot

stable comet
heavy ridge
#

Jao said he doesn't like how un dragonish the mushrooms are, he cited it as a main reason it was changed

stable comet
#

Yeah but how it wouldn't matter if nobody can figure out the eldering

wooden marsh
#

we can't figure it out because it's not in game yet

stable comet
#

All theyd have to do to put those mushrooms in is spot them around random spots and readd the code from it

wooden marsh
#

untill it's shown to be in game I refuse to believe it is.

stable comet
#

So if they change eldering that's prob the easiest

turbid copper
#

Nope, we aren't going back to those

stable comet

But you don't know

and personally i don't think it will be changed, probably they will tell us

Btw gremlin

Before you say anything

Last big thing I would try is to nest, have a hatchling, and then fly them up to when the music starts playing and drop them. If anyone could test that out I would be grateful

Logged into my IR on Sanctuary today. Got my first elder tick, it was 1.8% 👀 either I have amnesia from these past few days of rolling. Or something happened and I don't remember what whygodwhy

heavy ridge

We've had a few people report elder ticks decending at high speeds, but so far it looks like those are passive ticks

@fading canyon Ooh can you swim with a hatchie in your mouth?

Is that a hint

Prolly not

no, im throwing in ideas

Hmmmmm likely story

I've dived from above the clouds loads of times & never had a elder tick from it

True, but i feel like eldering isnt going to be super different between species, if not just the exact same method

I tried swimming the swamp Lake. And nothing happen for like 2 hours lol 😂 since no on go there I was like hey shot in the dark

easy, hover above it as Bio & use NV

see everything under the water

I even did it when my ASD was 25 % elder

I was like maybe we have to wait for the 25% tick

@compact kindle When you flew up with a hatchie. Was that hatchie nested in by you?

hey guys, jao did say "Endgame". Maybe it is something related to 18A (which is kinda dumb, thats why he wants to change it?), and nobody has reached it yet

Okay I'm not sure when I logged in specifically

I got 2.1% growth tho

And I don't have any growth on my other dragons that ik of

Okay. Do you know when your ASD got to adulthood? Was it a few days ago?

heavy ridge
sterile isle
#

Wait no not yesterday the day before

heavy ridge
#

As best as you can remember, what did you do on your ASD today

sterile isle
#

Okay I literally logged into my asd which I left sitting on top of the maintain I started descending down and I got the message that's literally it

heavy ridge
#

2.1% seems really big for a passive tick, but if that's all you did it's probably that then.
