Melghorn's Reach... and I've always hated the Darkstone Castle shortsword thing

#

And there's still a few uncommons I just can't find

#

Morunful Nymph in "Coastal Cliffs" I've been all around there and ain't found diddily

#

River's Rest has the one behind the blue thingy that you need like 3 spells to open up

fossil lintel
#

Yeah, there's a couple of those scattered around. You can gold ring (or chalk) into the huntress shrine at least, so you only need to do the puzzle once.

ivory blade
#

If I hadn't set myself the silly task of getting each legendary and uncommon on 10 characters, I'm sure I'd be closer to done now

fossil lintel
#

It is very silly.

#

I have nearly all the legendaries to level 20, but it wasn't a goal or anything, it just happened. πŸ˜†

||[Coastal Cliffs, Wrecked Village] (u67030)||

You focus your thoughts on a small silver talisman, attempting to align yourself with the spirits floes within the area, and a wash of foreign sensation floods your mind.

You detect the presence of a common kobold spirit.
You detect the presence of a common goblin spirit.
You detect the presence of a common thrak spirit.
You detect the presence of an uncommon Mournful Nymph spirit!
Roundtime: 9 sec.```
ivory blade
#

Thank you! I'll add it to my thingy - we'll see if they can find it...

#

I looked on the test server a LOT

#

I have a thing that wanders and checks all the rooms inside a boundary and does 20 senses... I left it going for a long long time all around the coastal cliffs.

fossil lintel
#

Yeah, not being able to confirm the possible beasts in a room is definitely the most frustrating part of finding the missing ones. πŸ˜†

fossil lintel
#

All this talk made me log in the monk an extra time, finally catch a perfect, then move on to the next location and catch a perfect on the first try. πŸ˜‚

ivory blade
#

Are all of the spirit beasts like spirits of old storylines?

fossil lintel
#

More-or-less. A lot of them are just vague lore references or interesting locations or landmarks.

#

But we found probably half of the legendary ones by digging through the wiki and people's memories.

#

Like the drowned lovers' story is on the wiki, and we dug up the Navigators obelisk. And we dug around in logs to get a couple of the Solhaven ones.

#

The Nascent Duskborn, for instance. I went through the logs of that event and checked the most relevant rooms.

#

And the Hanged Man, I just sprinted out to that immediately. πŸ˜†

glacial geode
#

I would love to know which storyline the Questionable Warcat comes from. It must have been the best event in the history of the game.

fossil lintel
#

I believe it's Andelas' shrine guardian. πŸ˜‚

nova osprey
#

After altering one for someone, the Questionable Warcat is lowkey my favorite.

ebon grail
fossil lintel
#

I'm sure he's fine.

#

To be fair, every time the Hanged Man uses his special on me I want to re-strangle him. πŸ˜†

glacial geode
#

Bleed counters Regen. Ghostfin goes nom nom nom

That's exactly who I use when I see Hanged Man pop up. πŸ˜„

Hey y'all.

So I'm going to start planning for brackets on the Spirit Beast Tourney, which is on Saturday at 3 PM EST.

If you're interested, please sign up here so I can start getting matters popping.

Cheers,

fossil lintel
#

I'll be present, but I'm happy to stand in as an alternate in case of odd numbers. πŸ˜…

severe marlin
#

I appreciate that. First time I'm doing something of the sort. Seems a way to have a fun time while working out beasts

Will do. I’ll be there for the next one!!

I cannot make it and am interested

I'll be there.

#

The victim is in perfect health.
Tickled me for some reason.

glacial geode
#

Looks like the arena isn't resetting again. Lets hope it does so soon.

ivory blade
#

I can't tell if my scripts in Shattered are an OSA script that also captures and trains Spirit Beasts during downtime
... or a Spirit Beast capturing/training script that also occasionally does OSA for EXP... It seems to spend equal time on both >_<

deft quest
#

Skynet, created by locksmith to control his OSA/Spirit beasts.

ivory blade
#

Pretty much

#

Heck, even Locksmith seems to pretty evenly split his time between picking, hunting, and beasting

#

Need to fill out my board, dangit!

snow cliff
#

I like the part where you wrote a control program to control your characters using programs to control smaller, simpler characters

ivory blade
#

That's my favorite part of this game...hense Shattered

#

Let's me scratch that scripting itch without having to waste it on something useless like work.

snow cliff
#

Auchand needs to add a new system to Spirit Beasts where they summon their own beasts and have sub-duels inside your duels

ivory blade
#

Honey Bear / matted tawny golden bear

The bear is in perfect health.```
#

Wave Ascendant / unstable wave ascendant

A faint blue-green glow suffuses the air around the wave ascendant, occasionally materializing into pearlescent froth.  The ascendant is in perfect health.```
fossil lintel
#

Did you catch both names for the honey bear?

#

Like Questionable Warcat/heavily armored tabby

ivory blade
#

matted tawny golden bear

glacial geode
#

I guess we are looking for honey... a bee hive maybe?

fossil lintel
#

Subterranean Spirit was found and reported, in Icemule. One room away from a suspicious room on the maps again. πŸ˜†

#

No clue where the honey bear could be. KF or Mist Harbor maybe?

#

Looks like a dozen beehives in mapdb.

#

There's that hollow tree with a beehive in it outside the landing.

severe marlin
#

Question. To catch the legendary, you have to have 25 in your possession or caught 25 overall?

fossil lintel
#

Overall.

#

It's the number captured line under BEAST STAT

severe marlin
#

Beast Stat....that's what it was.

severe marlin
#

Yo what are the best ranks to have your spirit beast be? Robust? Exceptional? I never remember.

ivory blade
#

Perfect is best
Exceptional is better, but only acheiveable with a soulstone from the store

severe marlin
#

Hmmm, I need to look up the soulstone aspect and run that.

ivory blade
#

You can buy Soulstones from the store, and you get them very rarely as a prize.

severe marlin
#

Finally caught my dread stallion. He’s robust

cold elk
#

Beasts in Collection: 1

Soulstoning beasts does give them a helpful edge.

#

At least until I release Spirit Beasts Blue and Spirit Beasts Pink, which will have Omegastones.

deft quest

snow cliff
#

What about partner and team beast battles?

severe marlin
trail terrace
#

BEAST OFFER

severe marlin
#

Can you use them at any level?

#

Yes.

severe marlin

Okay I need to find the Krakenbird to get a soulstone

Reminder: Tournament at 3. First time doing something like this so come out and have a good time!

It looks like at some point the Talondown player matches broke:

The overhead is painted with googly-eyed caricatures of spectral beasts, each with a big, welcoming grin and infantilized features.  A ring of pastel blue sand is raised up from the weathered wood of the deck, and the gentle song of a music box plays from somewhere nearby.  Cheers and hisses filter down from the ramshackle stands surrounding the ring.

Sureit executes a formal bow before offering a flourish with a cracked black dreamstone wand that he is holding.

You raise your arms skyward and call out to your Spirit Beast.  The ephemeral spirit of a crowned Torran urchin erupts into being overhead in a blaze of energy and begins advancing on Missoni, who counters a moment later by thrusting her hands toward you.

Congratulations again to @ebon grail, the Winner of the Claws of the Drake - We Got Spirit Beasts Tournament!

ebon grail
#

thanks again for hosting!

#

Aw.

#

That's odd.

#

I'll check it out.

severe marlin
deft quest
#

Looking at the clip, it looks like missoni had challenged another before your challenge

fossil lintel
#

Sureit shouldn't be there at all. He (or another trainer) pops out and tries to challenge both of us, regardless of whether one of us issues a challenge. Then they both fail and everybody gets thrown out.

#

We didn't try it with a blood match, but I assume something similar happens.

trail terrace
#

Yeah, I'm not sure how/when that changed, but I can fix it.

trail terrace
#

A note of amusement. I just learned that DragonRealms now has Spirit Beasts as well.

#

I love it.

ebon grail
#

nice to see spirit beasts survived the apocalpyse

trail terrace
#

I'm choosing to believe that GS is a Wheel of Time-esque world.

#

And DragonRealms's apocalypse brings about the rise of the Elanthia we know and love.

severe marlin
#

We gonna get new Spirit Beasts in KF?

trail terrace
#

Eventually, yes.

#

My slate is a little long at the moment. 😦

Anything new coming for Evermore Hollow..?

I am dedicating all of today and tomorrow to GS stuff, and I haven't yet scratched the surface.

I'm in the Firebird. Anyone know where the store is at form here?

#

Nevermind, found it. Just need to figure out how to deposit resteel

fossil lintel
#

Redsteel is spent in the Talondown shop, northeast from the entrance.

#

I think the Firebird shop just sells beasts in reliquaries now?

severe marlin
#

Yeah. Seems that way. I have some loose redsteel@and wanted to deposit it.

ebon grail
#

can't you just REDEEM it?

fossil lintel
#

The bundle from the lockbox should have instructions in look or analyze or something.

#

But you break it.

#
With a quick twist of your wrists, you break the mesh holding the marks together.  The marks come apart freely, but you discover that some are just wooden chips!  What a ripoff!  You pocket 544 marks and discard the counterfeits.```
severe marlin
#

Thanks for that. I appreciate it. One last question. How do you check your redsteel balance?

# trail terrace https://elanthipedia.play.net/Category:Ephemera

Looking over their choices for beasts, I got to say they have a lot of cool ones. Plenty of ideas for new spirit beasts on our side. I like the cockatrice, scarab, Blackfire lion, golem, Treasure goblin, zombie chicken and most of all, the Electric kitten.

ivory blade

Scarab would be cool... Uncommon found in every Picking Pool room

hadn't reset in a couple weeks? i think... as of this morning

glacial geode

It hasn't reset in 2 weeks. Lets see if it does this week.

#

It's reset now.

#

I've also changed things so that it should reset as soon as Saturday turns into Sunday.

severe marlin
#

Beat me to the question

#

Thank you

trail terrace
#

Uses a totally different system now.

#

Please keep an eye on it and let me know if things explode.

#

Do tell me if it doesn't reset. Don't want you guys to miss out on your expees.

glacial geode
#

Wave Ascendant is beating me so much this week. So many staggers and speed ups. I hope you guys have better luck than I do.

buoyant dagger

I still want to find that guy. Would go great in Khyrion's "water type" collection.

We all do. It is pretty much the white whale of Spirit Beasts at this point.

Is there a good article on how to get better at spirit battles? Or perhaps what some people's favorite beasts are? I'm struggling greatly even in favorable matchups like Perfect Legendary Air vs Training guy's earth creature.

#

Thanks for the link πŸ™‚ There's a lot to absorb here.

deft quest
#

Once you get the hang of it, its easy...except for the ones that really are impossible to beat

#

I should start collecting in platinum

trail terrace
#

There shouldn't be any that are really impossible to beat!

ivory blade
#

None have been impossible to beat. Some are easier than others for some... And some are easier to win with than others.

#

So far the best one I've had is Frostwyrm with a ~62% win rate across all fights.

cold elk
#

Some are just "I'll get lucky eventually"

#

Though if I wasnt so stubborn and just living and dying by panda, I could be like "I know just the beast to counter it," but instead I'm like "get back in there panda!"

formal jetty
#

I've been doing quite a bit and from what I can tell even in a positive matchup RNG can be like "oh look 10 evades in a row!" and decide it.

#

Just to encourage your persistence @cold elk πŸ™‚

cold elk
#

yeah, I mean, there's some things I know I'm in a good place for, but some things can go on a real streak, especially anything that drives my panda to insanity πŸ˜› But eventually the RNG comes around

#

when does the week usually reset for spirit beast fights?

lean apex
#

It’s midnight on Saturday now. So new week starts Sunday.

trail terrace
#

Spirit Beast aficionados may notice that Naidem might have some stsaeb tirips.

cold elk
#

Oooo, that's fun (for those who do not live and die by the art of war panda)

ivory blade
#

Seems strange that they're common since they can only be captured for a few weeks a year

#

But I'm gonna try to get em all!

trail terrace
#

There is a non-zero chance that EG commons will be reclassified as uncommons after EG.

#

I was considering doing that, but really wanted to get these out.

There are three EG Spirit Beasts this year.

I just fought a pumpkin in the listed battle, so that was fun

Apparently we have a pumpkin to find

Are they going to change each year?

Now I have to make a script to go capture beasts between catching fishes now. I hope you're happy

Hah.

ivory blade
#

Are the old ones going to be retired forever? Or moved elsewhere?

#

The pumpkin is elusive...

#

Should I keep looking for the 3rd one, or is the third one a reward for something?

ivory blade
#

Oh - Guidebook - got ya

trail terrace
ivory blade
#

Oh okay... I will keep looking. I thought the guidebook gave it when you completed it - or is that the other rip-off Spirit Beast thing?

trail terrace
#

I'm not sure what the other thing is. The third Spirit Beast can be found.

ivory blade
#

I probably need to know the lore of EH better than I do to find this guy.

#

I figured - somebody mentioned a pumpkin, so I'll go to where pumpkins are... there's even a pumpkin carving station, where pumpkins die - nope... Tried anywhere that mentioned pumpkins or looked special...

#

Brute-force time. <all EH rooms>.random - go

ivory blade
#

I couldn't find it... Anybody else have better luck?

glacial geode
#

I haven't looked, spent the day trying to figure out how to make pies.

#

It is either:

  1. In a room we don't know about.
  2. In a you sensed but missed.
ivory blade
#

Could be in a room that requires a pass - I don't have a pass.

glacial geode
#

That would be kinda unfair so I don't think that is the case. It also sounds like it is available right now and we don't need to wait for a new room to open.

From the sounds of it, the pumpkin is a new legendary.

[Ember Ridge, Picnic Tables]
In a quiet hollow created by a ring of tall, colorfully arrayed autumn trees sit several wooden picnic tables, their tops covered with ivory, russet, and gold plaid cloths. Beneath a small shelter adorned with copper and saffron ribbons, which is set off to one side, is a modestly sized banquet buffet, decorated for the season with miniature pumpkins and gourds, leaves and clusters of acorns. Behind it are a line of simple wooden chairs, each with a cluster of leaves tied to the upper rung of the back.

Says I need a service pass to get there... Anybody tried there?

Everyone of those locations is too civilized. So no beasts there

ivory blade
#

thanks so much for checking!

glacial geode
#

I'm curious if you found the right room but missed the pumpkin.

ivory blade
#

I have a decent script for searching. After I'm "done" fishing, I'll probably set my guys to search for a night or two. 20 senses in every room between 8083001 and 8083365 - x4

#

The most obvious place to put the spirit of a pumpkin is the pumpkin carving room. I did probably 100 senses there, and nothing. Next would be the scarecrow room, nothing.

#

Shouldn't take more than 24 hours to do 20 senses in all 212 rooms. And a total of 80 senses per room.
If I randomize the rooms my guys go to, and let them re-do rooms that were already done, it shouldn't take long at all.
Statistically should be like what 8ish hours

#

I'm setting it up now. I'm curious, and it should only take me 6ish hours max

#

I will find this elusive pumpkin today, dangit
At very least, we'll have a big list of rooms where it isn't
I divided up the 212 rooms, so they're all done in order, but my guys stagger the starting room. So they'll each do 53 unique rooms 20x, then re-do the next 53 rooms, etc etc until each room has been done 80 times or it's been found.

#

If I don't find it, I'd guess that either...

  1. It can only be captured at night
  2. It is "the great pumpkin" and can only be captured in the most sincere pumpkin patch ON october 31st?
  3. Can only be captured by people who have completed the guidebook and carved a pumpkin?

#
  1. Can only be captured by people dressed in a pumpkin costume

If there is a pumpkin costume, I will wear it

I wish beast sense was more reliable. I hate second guessing every room I sense.

#

It's not in a restricted area.

#

I'm finding this thing today

#

It's happening

#

If I can't find the fishing prize I want, I sure as heck am gunna find the new spirit beast. My collection demands it

ivory blade
#

Let me ask this... Is it like all the other spirit beast legendaries. Where if you're in the room, you can capture it? There's no like special provisions (has to be night time, has to be midnight on october 31st, have to be wearing a pumpkin suit)?

#

Cause I'm thinking up about 20 nifty options for locations/timing/puns etc in capturing a pumpkin legendary spirit beast

#
  • At night
  • In any room with a jack-o-lantern in it
  • At night on October 31st only if you're holding a blanket
  • After carving your own pumpkin
  • Holding your carved pumpkin

I can go all day

Slowly finishing up my collection. My goal is to get all 10 of my guys with all the legendary and all the uncommon that I can.

I've never considered altering a Spirit Beast before. What are the alteration guidelines for them?

nova osprey
#

πŸ˜…

#

So you can type BEAST HELP ALTERATIONS for that information.... however, it's not quite as simple as noted there. I only ever offer cosmetic alterations to spirit beasts.

trail terrace
#

They require a bit of care because of how important the beast types are to Spirit Beasting, but yeah.

Having read the guidelines, I can say that I now want a dingo that belches sprinkles.

I usually die on my Shattered Locksmith once every 2-3 months.
I've been trying to catch 10 Perfects of each of the Rift beasts... I'm certainly having more deaths - up to like 1 every 1-2 days now. A beast-catcher's life can be dangerous
Something tells me HW is going to be likewise treacherous.

Updated the SpiritBeast script on the repo a bit.

  • Updated the beast list with recent changes - Added some common beast locations
  • Fixed some logic
  • Added a 'redeem' option that might not work for anybody but me, now that I think about it...
  • Made it so you can technically capture common beasts if you really wanted to
  • It now writes your beast inventory to a flat file on the Logs folder with each capture or reset
    So it can be used with a spreadsheet like this to track your beast inventory: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1GCKkhkcTGBcGlv_6EMocbIsuQ9ham8EjIRY5mNyRD0w/edit?usp=sharing
  • Added a few little bits and bobs that make my rogue slightly less likely to die capturing Rift beasts.

I have a question that I hope someone can answer. Are you suppose to lose a listed battle entry when you time out of the arena and do not hit beast accept or beast decline? Because I have been unable to locate anything that says otherwise and there is no messaging when leaving the arena saying that it does but it sure did.

trail terrace
#

Yeah, you are charged for your listed battle when you walk into the arena.

#

It's so that people can't abuse logging out in the middle of a battle they are losing to pump up their listed stats.

slim knoll
#

Makes sense of course but there was no battle. It was prior to. but will keep that in mind going forward. Seems a bit odd to lose an attempt because you didnt accept battle in time.

What does arena level do for you?
Talondown Arena Level: 7 (+ 5 wins)

glacial geode
#

Determines what kind of Spirit Beasts you fight for training and weekly fights. Lower level is "easier" beasts.

ivory blade
#

oooh interesting.

#

That's weird. So you're penalized in the weekly standings thing if you're a higher level?

#

I really should be doing the weekly challenge and lists... I'm the only one in Shattered doing SBs. I win every week. But I just can't do it for some reason.

glacial geode
#

Weekly challenge is a bit of a chore for me because they take awhile even if you win every battle immediately. So I usually have to break up the fights over a few days. Sounds like you get free rewards weekly from listed fights in Shattered.

ivory blade
#

It seems I've broken "Redeem" in shattered. It's been a couple weeks since I redeemed, and now I can't on any of my guys.
The verb just gets no response at all.

trail terrace
#

Hm.

#

That is impressive.

ivory blade
#

I do a lot of battles. I just kinda have them do a training whenever they're all saturated & resting. Trying to get all the uncommon & legednary beasts to level 20 on all my guys - because... ... uh... I wanna...
Usually I let it build up for a week and redeem. But I think I forgot to do it Friday. Maybe a couple Fridays, actually.
I guess I assumed it would clear out weekly or so, and I don't really need any more ampules or gear.

But I presume it's systemic because Locksmith also does battles, but far far less frequently (he's already got everything up to 20 - I was just curious how high I could push his arena level). And he's also getting the same issue.

trail terrace
#

Okay, I'll check it out.

buoyant hornet
#

So, I've got a couple bezoars and see they're alchemy ingredients utilized by the spirit beast system in some fashion but can't even find a recipe for whatever they're used to make. Are these something people into spirit beasts actually seek out, or should I just pull them from my shop and sell them to the alchemist?

buoyant dagger
#

As far as I know, the bezoars aren't used for anything yet.

#

I believe @fossil lintel has been gathering them up for future use?

Spirit Beast Redeem is broken in Shattered. I presume for everybody.

Do the prizes disappear after a set amount of time? If I stopped doing training, would the prize count get lower so I could then redeem again in a couple weeks?

Does your script do what mine does? Just wondering if I should dump it and grab yours

ivory blade
#

I was trying to find one that does the 'wait 15 mins' thing...

hollow dune
#

beast sense every 15, checks if you have what is shown, if not capture, if so tries again.

#

Happy to share! I'll post it as a file. It's not the smoothest script in the world, I'm no coder, but it'll do that. After you have 25 beasts, it only goes for legendaries

#

Is there any reason to get uncommons, other than being completionist (which you kind of can't be, since 100 is the cap)?

ivory blade
#

I don't think I kept anything...

nova osprey
ivory blade
#

the closest I have is...

  elsif defined?(@gd_spirit_beast_Time)
    if Time.now > @gd_spirit_beast_Time + 900
      respond "** OSA - Spirit Beast **"
      start_script "go2mine", ["docks", "_disable_confirm_"]
      pause("2s")
      wait_while { running?("^go2mine$") }
      start_script "Beast", ["cap"] if not running?("^Beast$")
      wait_while { running?("^Beast$") }
      start_script "go2mine", ["home", "_disable_confirm_"]
      pause("2s")
      wait_while { running?("^go2mine$") }
      fput "join Nexushealbot"
    end

So if it's been more than 15 minutes since you last capped, go to the docks and try to capture. Because that's where I'd go for my 25 commons.

nova osprey
#

They still count towards your caught

ivory blade
#

Every beast works well

#

The uncommons are just a bit more flashy and the legendaries moreso.

hollow dune
ivory blade
#

But you can only have 1 of each

#

I wonder if anybody has found the ones that were lost last time I saw...

Restless Lookout
Wave Ascendant
Honey Bear

Krolvin Warfarer```
#

IIRC, the Black Buccaneer was a Waters quest reward for a while, but isn't so is impossible.

trail terrace
#

I do think I'm going to start adding some new beast equipment.

#

Some low-hanging fruit would be equipment that starts your beast off with some buffs, like sprint shoes giving you haste to start off.

ivory blade
#

Ya... Find a legendary you like, cap until you get a perfect... Then use the ampoules on it to buff it a bit, and find and keep a good item on it.

#

It may not feel like a lot, but trust me you can get a TON of ampoules and stuff from training

hollow dune
ivory blade
#

Ya

nova owl
#

I hung out in Melgorehns Tower for hours until I caught a perfect moon serpent. I was fortunate that the night before I randomly won one of those 10 capacity books from an arena fight

trail terrace
#

I tend to favor some beasts over others for my weeklies.

ivory blade
#

You can get ampoules that increase one beats's stat by 1
you can get a black ampoule that lets you reset the stats of a beast so you can re-ampoule it
You can get low, medium and high level items
You can get enchiladas?... en... something... books that let you store 20 beasts in them

nova owl
#

..and then that moon sperent lost its first fight and I haven't fought since <.<

ivory blade
#

You can get the soul ... stones? crystals? that let you go get to the Exceptional quality

trail terrace
#

Bestial soulstones.

ivory blade
#

a beast-marked leather enchiridion < enchalada

#

helpful for moving beasts around

nova owl
#

since you're here.. one thing I wanted to ask.. are there many beasts, legendaries in particular, that haven't been discovered yet? (ie, not listed on the wiki)

ivory blade
#

IIRC, new beasts are added to the training opponents

#

so they'd be known about pretty quickly.

trail terrace
#

Not really, but there are definitely some I'd like to add.

hollow dune
#

OK wait, moving beasts around? Like between characters, or? I only plan to have one that I really care about in my talisman.

ivory blade
#

Between characters, or to store them while you catch a better one

nova owl
#

I would LOVE for an easy way for beasts to be account, rather than character bound

#

(spoiled by WoW)

hollow dune
#

K so here's my plan distilled from all your helpful advice, anything I'm missing?:

Find legendary I want
Capture perfect version
Train in Arena
Get a nice piece of gear from Arena rewards
Get ampoules to buff it, +1 stats
Enchiridion to transfer
Bestial soulstone -> upgrade to exceptional quality
Enchiridion for storage

ivory blade
#

For example, I'd go to each one in an area and slowly catch them all until I had a perfect of each one... Then I'd throw them into the enchilada, and do it again... Then I'd give the enchilada to my other characters to let them have them.

trail terrace
#

You can trade beasts among your characters.

#

You mean you'd like to access your beast pool from all characters on your account?

nova owl
#

yeah

hollow dune
#

In WoW, you see the same pet list from any character you log into

#

Like the family treasure vault

ivory blade
#

Also - while YOU only get xp for the first 10 beast trainings per day... Your beast gets exp regardless.

hollow dune
ivory blade
#

It takes an annoying amount of time to get those first 25

hollow dune
#

Yeah, not as much a fan of this part, it feels grindy and like unless you're looking to capture perfect everything, it's time that's not useful in the long run.

ivory blade
#

you can do some trainings and get used to it with a common. Doesn't gotta be a legendary

hollow dune
#

Not a bad idea, but I feel like bounties will be better EXP for the same amount of time, and if I delay, then the time can be spent on one I actually care about

nova owl
#

it took me a few days to get those 25

#

currently up to 68, and only collecting legendaries.. haven't been to Teras yet

hollow dune
#

Wow, very cool! Is that a script, Ouendi?

#

That's the ;spiritbeast

#

The *'s next to the power/def/etc is that it's been ampouled up

hollow dune
#

Good to know. Awesome script

ivory blade
#

Once you get to a lot of beasts, the info gathering takes a while >_<

#

One day I'll take the time to max out all the loytalty on all of them

#

I just make sure to only use high loyalty ones when doing challenges & list battles. And keep an eye on them as I go.

#

Would be cool if you could use training to increase, but not drop loyalty.

#

Ooh, or if full blood vials dropped as training/challenge or list prizes

ivory blade
#

ya

#

;spiritbeast blood

#

but it's not in "help" because you'd have to update the script with your container

ivory blade
#

I've found most beasts get a 50/50 win rate

#

There's some strategy to be sure. But I'd guess it's designed to hover around 50% even with the best strats

#

Though IIRC, Pale Woman is particularly poor... In that spreadsheet from earlier, there's a list of all my battles and the win/loss rate for each beast and who they each fought against

#

But whther they win or lose, they get xp by training... so it doesn't matter much

#

TBH my script was made more to make fast battles than a lot of wins.

#

it does, ya

#

Pale Woman after 337 battles was a 43% win rate

trail terrace
#

I have been pretty busy lately with other stuff, but I do watch win rates.

ivory blade
#

I've never been good at knowing what beast needs what upgrade

#

Frostwyrm is excellent though. I do recall that.

#

Just moved my sorc to KF, and we don't have a Arena entrance on KF in Shattered... But maybe I'll throw my other guys back into beast training while resting. Just gotta set a script or an alarm or something to gather my winnings.

You already have one...

... what?

#

I did that a few times, got mad, and added the 'Locksmith is dumb' behavior

#

That's also why the script is SUPER DUPER careful with its beast select function. It makes absolutely certain it successfully selected a beast.

#

It always puts your current beast back to your lowest level, lowest quality beast when done with anything.

#

woah, that's awesome

#

That's a good one. You can redeem a bunch of armaments and not get one that good...

#

Scripting everything, it's hard to use armaments - they degrade too quick

#

ya, you can move them around, repair them with the currency stuff...

#

redsteel marks

#

My goal at first was to make it win the most often. But that sort of took a back seat to just leveling everybody.

#

Ya, then I have to figure out what to do with em.

#

atm I just throw them in my pouch

#

but I was getting a ton. I filled up backpacks every few weeks with 4 people doing 30+ battles per day each.

#

you can do ;spiritbeast redeem - and it'll go grab whatever you have and throw it in your 'pouch' (editable)

#

oh - might need to fix a few things to use redeem - looks like i use some global functions that wouldn't be in the stand-alone script

#

Our current reporting round for Spirit Beasts has tracked 20,783 fights.

#

I think I'm going to only track player performance from here on out, though, so I can get a better idea of top beasts.

#

Phoenix Hatchling, Vengeful Archer, Hanged Man, Master Arcanist, River Rat, Brawny Disir, Fledgling Kraken, Tortured Paladin, and Votive Eater are all pretty strong.

Archer looked pretty good - Trouble is catching em

RYSK and Argent Aspis will be hosting a Spirit Beast tournament at 9pm on 6/22 (this weekend) at the Rusty Cutlass by the Landing docks. Come to show off your spirit beasts and win prizes!

ivory blade
#

Oh I'm in Shattered

#

If I weren't, I'd probably just let you or anybody have most everything I get from the rewards.

#

Ya, that's what I was sayin before. The 'king of SBs' title doesn't make any sense since I just sorta set up a script and forgot about it for a year.

#

I haven't messed with it...

#

lashing 5x would also be a way to get a bunch of fast charges

#

Probably interesting to see what the damage is at each counter

#

I've seen alterations be offered here and there

#

;spiritbeast reset

#

Oh for training?

#

hmm

#

LOL - never really thought about choosing a beast to train

#

It's down in the training part

#

#

boy does that look like a mess

#

But basically if you put the thing you wanna train as a replacement name for "Frostwyrm" up there

#

Not sure what the one on the Repo looks like

#

Oh it's a little better

#
    if beast == nil
      if Char.name == "Locksmith"
        beast = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| v[:Own] and v[:QualityN] >= 4 and v[:Level].to_i < 20 and k == "Citadel Guardian"      } if beast == nil
        beast = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| v[:Own] and v[:QualityN] >= 4 and v[:Level].to_i < 20 and k == "Ghost Pirate"          } if beast == nil
      elsif Char.name == "Esk"
        beast = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| v[:Own] and v[:QualityN] >= 4 and v[:Level].to_i < 20 and k == "Famished Vesperti"     } if beast == nil
        beast = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| v[:Own] and v[:QualityN] >= 4 and v[:Level].to_i < 20 and k == "Waernmaster"           } if beast == nil
      end
    end```
Starts on Line 824... Put your name where "Locksmith" is and put the besat you wanna train where "Citadel Guardian" is.
#

oh

#

hmm... nah, that shoulda worked...

#

is it perfect and less than level 20?

#

did you capture it or did you have the script capture it?

#

;spiritbeast reset

#

it'll re-info all your beasts

#

script doesn't know about your new beast

#

I clearly code very user-friendly scripts >_<

#

LOL - even uberbar & uberbarwiz have like zero customization

#

weird

#

prob need a reset when you replace it - there's more thingys

#

looking at the differences and there's a lot

#

but... that's the point, dumb script

#

It just can't find a beast to train... what's your ;spiritbeast echo look like

#

ya, that'd be a problem

nova osprey
#

Every time someone brings up spirit beast alterations, I add a month to the timelines of when I do them again

ivory blade
#

awww

nova osprey
#

runs away

ivory blade
#

what about ;spiritbeast reset - what's that do?

#

info

#

;spiritbeast info

#

ah hah

#

see... super user friendly

nova osprey
#

I'm only semi-kidding. It's a very niche service and half the time, people show up thinking it's animalistic spirit

ivory blade
#

that's sad

#

I'd alter all my shattered beasts into other shattered players

nova osprey
#

So like... I try to put notice in here when I calendar it up

ivory blade
#

61's pretty good

nova osprey
#

I need to make a "for dummies" guide on what to expect and what can be done. Like you can't turn a feline base spirit beast into a humanoid, etc.

ivory blade
#

you can just do 'special'? geez

#

this whole time i've been doin beast command special

#

OH that makes sense

#

I'm on wizard, I don't fiddle with link clickin

nova osprey
#

Yes and no... like their special attack won't ever change, so you need to keep alterations in mind for what that is.

ivory blade
#

It also throws em into your log folder if you wanna make a spreadsheet of your beasts...

#

Ya, totally

#

oh right

#

line 862

just hcange "Frostwyrm" to whatever you wanna train

#
  if variable[1] =~ /^(train)/i
    beast     = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| k == "beastthatdoesntexist" }
    beast     = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| v[:Own] and v[:QualityN] >= 4 and v[:Level].to_i < 20 and k == "Frostwyrm"             } if beast == nil
    beast     = @sb_spirit_beasts.find { |k,v| v[:Own] and v[:QualityN] >= 4 and v[:Level].to_i < 20 and k == "Votive Eater"          } if beast == nil```

And Votive Eater to the next one once that one is 20
#

nah, just 862

#

and you can add more lines if you wanna do them in a particular order

#

It's basicall just going down each line saying, "is there a Frostwyrm that's under level 20, and perfect and I own it?" no? "Is there a Votive Eater that's under level 20, and perfect and I own it?"

#

if it finds one, then it doesn't keep going down the list.

#

the 'beastthatdoesn'texist' is just so beast always == nil for the first query - cause Im lazy

#

That part I messed with a lot, there was always something I wanted to train up that was weird.

#

So it works pretty well

#

Ya, that's like 908 to 942

#

the tracking script watches for as much as it can, and updates @sb_Status when it sees things...

#

It's not perfect because the summary at the end isn't always right

#

interesting...

#

don't need the beast[0] part...

#

lash until 0, special, then attack as normal, but special whenever you can...

#

that's almost what it does now...

#

Hmmm...

#

this is why you comment your code, Locksmith...

#

okay... proper name...

#
    while running?("^SpiritBeastTrack$")

        fput "beast command heal"
        
      end
      
      sb_waitrt()
    end
#

I think that'd do it... That'll lash until you're out of action points if you're running Starseer

#

replace line 910 to 942 with that

#

So it's just replacing the while running?

down to the sb_waitrt;end

#

Notepad++ is good

#

that's what I've used for a while

#

that
becomes

#

It's really just adding 2 lines

#

elsif @sb_Status[:Mine][:ProperName] == "Starseer" and @sb_Status[:Mine][:Command] == "attack" and @sb_Status[:Mine][:CommandNext] == "none" and @sb_Status[:Mine][:AP] >= 1
fput "beast command lash"

at 919

#

Just adding a new lash command above the special commands, and making it only be used for Starseer

#

perfect

#

And I'm at least 20% sure that'll work

#

_<

#

ProperName is pulled from the battle offer line, and is written to the battle log... So it should be right

#

awww

#

wait... my brain hurts...

#

it's pretty rare

#

that's about right

#

I think you only get one on wins

#
      elsif @sb_Status[:Mine][:ProperName] == "Starseer" and @sb_Status[:Mine][:CommandNext] == "none"                                                               and @sb_Status[:Mine][:AP] >= 1
        fput "beast command lash"```
Try that one instead - gets rid of the @sb_Status[:Mine][:Command] == "attack" part... cause your command is always going to be lash in those first 5
#

I THINK that part is in there to prevent it from spamming

ivory blade
#

I think it's not calculating AP well

#

On the track script, could add an echo to have it echo back your AP whenever it sees the AP line..

#

see if it's grabbing it correctly
echo "Saw AP Line: #{@sb_Status[:Mine][:AP]}"

#

oh rofl

#

or just unremark the debug line

#

looks like there's some differences - had to add something so it will work with challenge & listed matches

#

and mine writes the results to a log file

#

oh

#

that's why it's not working for you

#

proper name doesn't get pulled in the repo version

#

so it's not doing the special starseer line

#

fancy

#

sure

#

You don't get a ton of them as you see

#

remark out that line if you don't want it to change your beast when it's done with a training

#

ya

#

the track script doesn't do any commands. just watches, changes variables, and displays info

#

ima go grab lunch - so that's why I'm not around for a bit.

ivory blade
#

it shouldn't be spammy.. hmmm

ivory blade
ivory blade
#

I had to write it weirdly because it's not like a normal hunting where you're only waiting for cast RT or Roundtime between commands.
This only needs to make a command between actions, and there's nothing preventing you from making commands between actions.

#
      if    @sb_Status[:Mine][:Command] == "attack" and @sb_Status[:Mine][:CommandNext] != "none"
        fput "beast command #{@sb_Status[:Mine][:CommandNext]}"
        @sb_Status[:Mine][:Command] = @sb_Status[:Mine][:CommandNext]
        @sb_Status[:Mine][:CommandNext] = "none"

That part is saying, "if your current command is 'attack' and your next command is not 'none', then make the 'next' command, and set your 'next' command to 'none' and your 'command' to the command you requested (so this won't trigger anymore)

#

Then after every action, the track script sets your command back to 'attack'

#

I think that error up there is that there's nothing that tracks that line

ivory blade
#

it doesn't reset daily...

#

it's based on your win/loss record

#

Locksmith's is high because he only has level 20 beasts, so he only uses Frostwyrm which has a high win rate.

#

I'm the only one in Shattered that does beasts

#

I SHOULD do list & challenges every week, collect my cool winnings every week

#

But I tend to forget

#

I honestly don't know

#

I didn't start them until I had a beast at 20

#

Oh you mean the black ampoules?

#

That's clearing the previous ampoules you used on the beast

#

you can only use a total of 20 per beast

#

and only 10 per stat

#

That's talking about the soulstone

#

which is a rare drop from the rewards - like... 1 in 200 ish?

#

And that just sets a beast from perfect to exceptional

#

interesting

#

I don't know about the merchant ehhancements

#

I thought you could only use 1 soulstone per beast

#

but I gotta admit, I've never tried to do more than one

#

Once LS is done picking, I'll go grab a stone and try it

#

I guess I just assumed...

#

can't get any more exceptional than exceptional lol

#
Your spectral Frostwyrm is already of extraordinary quality.```
#
You raise a radiant bestial soulstone overhead as you unleash your spectral Frostwyrm, which manifests in a sinuous cloud that trails up your arm.  As its essence comes into contact with the soulstone, soundless thunder rips through the area and vivid light consumes both Spirit Beast and soulstone.  You feel an extraordinary thrill of satisfaction as your Frostwyrm's essence is refined, infusing it with extraordinary quality!```
On Innocent - who had a perfect.
#

So ya - must be a special merchant or something

#

Not sure what having a high arena level gets you

#

not too hard to get a high level... level up a Frostwyrm to 20, maybe throw some ampoules and soulstone on it, and do a ton of battles. 60% win rate will eventually get you to a high level.

#

oh no

#

you just gave me an idea to add to the script

#

The trainings/challenges/listed fights get logged to a flat file... Including the person who did the battle.

I could include your win rate of each beast in the echo list...

#

I'm runnin outta room, man

#

ugh... and it's pretty easy to pull

#

;spiritbeast winrate
Then show beast, level, All Time (# of Battles, WinRate%), Last 28 days (# of Battles, WinRate%), Last 20 battles, WinRate%

;spiritbeast battlelog
Shows a list of the last 'x' battles you did... date, your beast, your opponent, their beast, train/chal/list/player, winner

#

Probably do that - I'll add it to the todo

fossil lintel
#

Arena level determines which trainers you'll face in training.
Listed matches your beast level.
Challenge opponents are all level 20, but rounds 5-7 are tougher than normal and winning grants bonus xp, so I usually start trying the weekly challenge on a new beast around level 16.
Soulstones set quality to a flat Exceptional.
Merchant bonus is totally separate and compatible with everything, but hasn't been offered in a couple years.
Amps are limited to a total of +20 with no more than +10 in any single stat, so +10 SPD/+10 POW or +4 to everything or whatever mix you want.

#

I'm not currently active and don't know anything about the script, but I know everything else. πŸ˜†

#

I'm pretty good. River Rat, Vengeful Archer, Phoenix Hatchling, and Hanged Man are the ones I was using primarily, but I have level 20s of all the legendaries that have been found.

    Total Matches Won:         4279
    Total Matches:             5521```
#

Most of those losses are from the first year, I've been at 99% for a while. πŸ˜†

#

I'm pretty good. πŸ˜…

#

I like Starseer.

#

Fledgling Kraken and uh... one other, I think, have the store+dump specials. Burst damage is good.

#

POW is currently the strongest stat, DEF is the weakest. Speed is always good. I like to emphasize strengths rather than try to shore up weaknesses. I generally try to avoid elements, since there's no switching mid-match.

#

Lash x 6 + special + special is a time-tested strategy up to about arena rank 5. πŸ˜†

#

The Rebirth status (Phoenix Hatchling) / troll's tenacity (armaments) is the 'strongest' ability, especially while you're learning, since it'll turn a close loss into a potential win.

#

It's very useful. It costs a bunch of stat points, but it's almost always worth it.

#

Just with the caveat that it's not doing anything in most matches.

#

Yah, that's decent. Air's relatively strong.

#

Elemental matchups are kind of bad news, but I keep a set of swappy rings for the weekly challenge, since you can tell which beasts you'll be up against.

#

Nope, I do everything by hand. Lot of highlights.

#

Mmmm... I would recommend saving. If you're doing your ten matches every day, you'll start to build up prizes pretty quick.

#

Er... good question. Hunting for armaments, I guess?

#

I'd say I get a soulstone as a prize about once a month?

#

Black amps and enchiridions tend to kind of pile up.

#

Yeah, those I mostly toss. I don't think I've ever used one on purpose.

#

But yeah, do your weekly challenge matches, do some listed matches, try and get those lockboxes. I mostly use soulstones on beasts that are really hard to catch perfects or that are sold at events (since they all start at crummy).

#

You can sell armaments back, but I don't think the goblin wants anything else.

#

Try it, though.

fossil lintel
#

It can be tough to find good armaments. You only get like 50-100 back from the goblin, so if you have to buy 10 to find one you want...

#

Level 16 with a good beast can definitely beat the first four rounds of the weekly challenge.

#

Unless there's a lobster. Lobster in the weekly challenge routinely knocks people out. πŸ˜†

fossil lintel
#

I mean, they take inventory space when they're not equipped on a beast, but since they're random it might take several attempts to find one you like. Especially if you're hunting for troll's tenacity or something.

#

Having an armament equipped will also prevent you from accidentally releasing a beast, so I just stick spares on everybody.

fossil lintel
#

It's more-or-less a coin flip. I assume it's influenced by Speed and to a tiny degree Luck.

fossil lintel
#

Probably the level difference. Even a relatively fast beast like Starseer's going to be a lot lower Speed with a 4 level gap.

#

The weekly challenge matches are each a little harder, so I wouldn't necessarily expect to finish all 7 with a non-optimized beast.

#

Once you've got one beast that can finish all seven though, you can do the first couple rounds with a trainee and then finish it off with a level 20 to get your lockbox each week.

AAAAh okay

#

well I'd update the wiki with the change, but apparently that wiki page is not a fan of being changed

#

seems that it sees the > lines as nested quotes if you save it with the current editor.

nova osprey
#

... did you use the visual editor?

ivory blade
#

The new one, ya...

The visual editor doesn't like certain types of formatting and unless you have massive amounts of experience tweaking it to behave, I don't recommend it at all.

I had trouble finding that one too - eventually found it there

hm, yeah that works.. I guess its location was more specific than I remembered

Uncommons are always an area - but that room is where I found it

hollow dune
#

Why are people so into mournful nymphs specifically? Third person I've heard asking for one in the past couple weeks

ivory blade
#

They're just hard to find.

#

And the wiki just has like "coastal cliffs" or something, and that's a bigger area than people realize sometimes, I think.

...it's because there isn't a GECP for spirit beasts.

#

keep finding an uncommon spirit in a spot wiki says I can find a legendary

#

how rare is this?

#

wandering bonespear hitting beast sense in different rooms as often as I can. 1/10 finds the waernmaster spirit. just keep going?

#

when the wiki gives a particular room number does that mean ONLY that room?

fossil lintel
#

Commons are more-or-less realm-wide and are something like 1/3 chance of sensing.
Uncommons are limited to specific areas (which can be as small as one room, see ||Mammoth Arachnid|| and ||Mournful Nymph||) or LOCATION-wide, and are 1/10-ish.
Legendaries are all (to the best of my knowledge) one-room-only and 1/20-ish. Checking a room 20 times isn't even a guarantee that there isn't a legendary there.
So a legendary's room can also have commons and uncommons, but doesn't have to. One of the easiest ways to find a legendary room is to find a spot that gives you the "there are beasts here but you don't sense any" failure message instead of the "too civilized" or "void" failures. ||Featherdancer|| and ||Frostwyrm|| were found that way.

Spirit Beast armaments have been updated to add a few new abilities:

  • Frailty, which was a negative ability conveyed by armaments that made damage against your beast more severe, has been replaced by a new positive ability, Guardian Spirit
  • Guardian Spirit: protects against one standard debuff inflicted by an opponent's special ability
  • Heartward: absorb the first successful attack and convert it into a special ability charge
  • Tactician: start the battle with one additional action point
  • Swift Shoes: start the battle with Haste
  • Steel Soul: start the battle with Fortify
  • Severing Strike: once per battle, if your opponent has a buff, a successful attack from your beast will dispel that buff

Additionally, there was some hidden math around defense for higher-defense Spirit Beasts that has been corrected.

#

There are also two new Spirit Beasts, one for EG and one for SimuCon 2024.

#

I have questions! I have a spirit beast from the original iteration of spirit beasts. Is it basically gone or is there a way to convert it to the new system?

I can never remember the process or of there is one. Do you see anything when you BEAST INFO?

I only see the beast I just captured, nothing else is listed

I do see this message when I ANALYZE the talisman it used to be in:
Old magic lingers about the edges of the pendant. You think you could attract the power within to you by making use of BEAST OFFER.

But I did the syringe and the vial, got the blood and tried to beast offer and it did nothing.

Is there a way to have a SPIRIT BEAST gain an element if they are unattuned to any element?

I think there are some armaments that attune the spirit beast to an element while equipped.

hmm, haven't been lucky enough in my REDEEM to find one yet i guess

That is correct.

when a merchant alters a spirit beast to look like whatever, Can you change the Special attack as well if wanted? basically i want to change my "Questionable Warcat" and its "Bellyflop" to a different look. is the movement just damage plus the flavor text?

The special attack is hard coded. That cannot be changed when the spirit beast is altered

Are bestial soulstones craftable from alchemy... maybe using bezoars? I have a vague memory of this, and gswiki vaguely associates bezoars with spirit beasts, but details are not on wiki

ebon grail

Bestial soulstones are not craftable. Bezoars were intended to be for use in alchemy but as far as I know nothing ever came of that.

New Spirit Beast that is not listed on the wiki: Goat Minstrel

Though perhaps a little underweight, it's hard to argue that the goat is underdressed for any occasion.  In fact, the creature's ruffled lace tunic and crushed velvet doublet might be a bit constricting for activities such as mountain frolicks or casual grazing.  The outfit is only slightly diminished by the goat's decided lack of trousers and shoes, though the latter seems excusable given obvious difficulties in finding footwear to match such fine hooves.

Special Ability:

Asmoda's well-dressed goat unleashes its special ability!  Prancing forward with a decidedly jaunty cant to its head, the well-dressed goat taps the ground twice with a hoof before throwing back its head and bleating out a deafening tune!  Sonic waves distort the air around the goat before racing toward its opponent!
...42 damage!
Your shark is dazed!
A protective wall of air swirls into being around Asmoda's goat.

oh that was last year's Simucon beast. i didn't realize no one had put it up!

We'll have to figure out one for this year.

What sort of rewards would you guys like to see from Spirit Beasts? Not necessarily as part of the Spirit Beasts system.

glacial geode
#

Marks Shop:

  • You could take a note from Reim and add scripted gear that can be unlocked with waivers as a money sink. Make it the Animalist Spirit script if you REALLY want to boost people doing Spirit Beast content!
  • You also might just want to add Spirit Beast themed containers, food, imbeds the way Pennant Chase does with their rewards.
  • Make a limited use device that detects ALL the spirit beasts in a room and gives a bonus to their quality if you capture one. You know how I hate the randomness of BEAST SENSE.
  • A consumable ampole that will increase a spirit beast's quality up to Perfect. This is mainly to not punish players for getting less than the best rarity when capturing a a spirit beast.
  • Unique spirit beasts that can only be bought from the shop.

Weekly/Listed Lockboxes:

  • A small amount of event currency for on-going events. For example, this month we would get soul shards for EG.
  • Weapon/Armor/etc in the lockbox should be automatically bard unlocked and allow RECALL in the same way DR rewards are.
  • Add a consumable magic item from the treasure system as a reward. So small statues, crystals, prisms, 1750 lens should all be possible rewards. Probably should be uncommon or better due to the limited amount of lockboxes that can be earned.
  • I am fine with the gems as they are. In fact, it is easier to get rare Reim gems from Spirit Beast lockboxes instead of Reim itself!

Other:

  • I still want titles for Spirit Beast content!
  • You could add reoccurring group content events. It could be a PvP tournament or something like a Pokemon Raid Battle where multiple people fight the same monster to gradually weaken it earn rewards for contributing.

There are two new Spirit Beasts now live (or active, at least!) at this year's Ebon Gate.

Along with some new abilities, including the Webbed debuff.

Location?

Probably somewhere in EG. Although, I haven't seen anyone check if Sailor's Grief has new spirit beasts.

I checked one SG spot but haven’t been thorough yet. I have also only found the common at EG so far

glacial geode

I'd check SG but I am worried about being swarmed due to large groups in the area. Not fond of the random lightning either.

ebon grail
#

EG might be a good time to check it out. it's been pretty quiet when i've been there!

glacial geode
#

I am getting nothing but void messages in SG. I am guessing the area isn't setup for spirit beasts. I find it hard to believe that a few beasts would be added to an area and nothing else so we can probably disregard SG for now.

Not the same person, mind you. But like... it happens... every... time....

Yeah, I understand. Frustrating for both parties. But I do know there is interest in the actual spirit beast alters, so some of us will show up wanting actually that!

Thanks Auchand, I am using one, but don’t have a great sense of the different abilities yet. I will check those out!

Suggestion for a service, perming armaments? Part of the reason I haven’t looked more closely is because they all feel so temporary that even if I find a great one, I know it’s eventually going to break.

I’m so excited for the alterations! Thank you so much for doing it, Xeraphina. I’ve had an idea for it waiting to be made for close to a year.

what if you could spend marks to build a custom armament, or reroll one, or something along those lines?

what if some ampules gave loyalty?

topaz summit
#

@woeful knot for loyalty you need to buy a syringe and a vial from the shop in talondown, put the vial in the syringe, kill and draw blood from 5 living things. blood quality(how much loyalty is restored) is based on critter level. take the vial out of the syringe, beast offer vial. loyalty restored.

or buy them from my shop in icemule for 50k each restores loyalty to max.

just curious on thoughts... if i find a really OP spirit beast and do a bunch of listed fights on my account with it, should i then be able to, in the same week, transfer that beast to another account and dominate the leaderboards with all of my accounts with 1 spirit beast or should they attune to the character that fought with them in the listed/weekly fights until the arena resets?

is that what's happening on the leaderboards?

i think it makes sense that the beast should "attune" for the week after the first weekly or listed fight. it feels against the spirit (haha see what i did there) of the system to pass it around like that.

#

(if that is indeed what is happening. i should clarify that i also don't know if that is the case.)

I agree. I'll look into that.

I've also noticed it would be possible to lose match after match on purpose to lower the difficulty of the arena matches, if someone wanted to do that and game this system. I don't think that difficulty raising and lowering after so many wins/losses is a good function in the arena since it can be easily manipulated, and blood vials to increase loyalty after losing again and again to drop your arena difficulty level is a minimal silver loss.(Edit: It doesn't appear that you lose loyalty on lost training bouts, which also lowers your arena difficulty, so cost of blood vials isn't even a factor) If it is something that stays in, could it possibly give a bonus to listed fight points, since they are much harder at arena level 7 than arena level 1?

(P.S.- If you feel the need to send me messages saying i'm a snitch or i need to keep my mouth shut about things like this, you're in the wrong community)

anyone know anything about the horses (pony, stallion, mare) in Shadow Valley? They're listed as common, but, I swear I checked every room and they're all "void" of spiritual activity. Only the strange hut had anything but it's just WL when you check the location and sensing only shows the commons for WL.

Oh there is a thread for this! I couldn't find it earlier! I just discovered spirit beasts and am now grabbing everyone I see πŸ˜„

they're really fun!!

#

also fantastic saturated EXP

#

there are some wiki guides, too

#

I found the wiki guide that's how I heard about them. I found a radiant bestial soulstone and I didn't know what it was for so I wiki'd it and that's when it brought me down the spirit beast rabbit hole.

#

10 minutes later I was rushing to the marks of the beasts to get my talisman

#

save it for a nice legendary!!!

#

Save what?

hollow dune
#

oh sorry, the radiant bestial soulstone -- it upgrades a spirit beast

lucid zodiac
#

Oh that. Yes I was planning to save it for a Legendary.

You can also alter your spirit beast, if you're so inclined. It is a specialty service, so keep an eye out for when it is scheduled.

I havn't found my favorite yet.

All I've found so far is kobold rolton rat goblin manticore

#

You can find lots all over the place. There is also a list on the wiki that has most of the spirit beasts. Some are still unfound.

Ya it seems many of these are tough to get to until I'm higher level. I have to catch 10 Commons before I can even go for uncommon, and Ive pretty much got all the commons I can find right now without going into areas too high lvl for me. 🫣

#

you have to catch 10 common. not 10 different common

#

release the lower quality ones
