I'm from flightrising and I also happen to be an artist on FR.

Ive noticed some similarities and differences; but a sort of lack on how exactly to get started after breeding my wolves. I went ahead and started the campaign in hopes to gather resources.

How does one acquire cosmetics and materials? I assume through the various mining/fishing etc tasks? Besides that, any helpful tips/tricks you all would like to bestow? thanks!

You can buy apparel (what we call cosmetics) in the Mole Market and Flea Market. You can also craft apparel using materials you get while exploring in campaign, but you need recipes first, which you can acquire through the Mole Market and weekly activities.

I would recommend going to your ‘Achievements’ tab and working through the starter achievements to help you get an idea of how the site works.

As for navigation, it honestly just takes time. Give it a few days and you’ll eventually fall into the swing of things! You can send me a message if you have any questions :3

Welcome to LW! Seconding Lunar Howler's advice to start with the starter achievements (under the Den dropdown), it helps with a lot of the basics. The mole market (site market) and flea market (player to player market), and the weekly event store are all under the shop dropdown. The professions are a good way to gather resources, and some can be found in the mole market as well. The mole market also gives you a random free item every so often (I forget exactly how long it is, it's every hour or 2 when the market cycles to new items), the button is to the left under Marvin.
