Praying Skeletons have been recoded with many of the older issues hopefully being fixed now. To keep on top of the overall spawn mechanics and spawn rates please let us know your opinions on how the feature feels and what could be improved upon in the future. If you can please keep track of the layer, map transition and the time it took you to find the skeleton and share the data in this forum.
Anything to do with relics can be mentioned in this forum as well.

Is that golden pskeleton?
normal skel
golden skeleton would be enchanted
Any way to get them easily when you don't have the ghost seek yet? I need 4 charcoal sand ignots
Praying skeletons are a luck based feature. You can walk around the map and find them by looking around, but ghost seeks significantly improve the experience. Try crafting the damaged ghost seek (that one doesnt require charcoal sand)
I have it but because its broken doesnt mean it doesnt work?
It works, wear it in your helmet slot and walk around the map until you hear your first ping
alr, thx for the tip
using t3?
Yes
Searched this whole area in L5 S2 today with no ping. 2 other people have also reported getting no pings in l5. Its not the thing Doro had.
Found multiple skeletons on L5 today (with pings)
Didn't keep track of how long they took because I didn't know this channel was a thing but there was one skeleton that was on top of idofront and only accessible using a pearl
Was just unlucky then 
potentially ran into an invisible / bugged skeleton today
yellow/green pings in completely empty space (only 1 block wide bridges in range) and not near a chunk border
Do you have the max tier to see teal pings? Might just be in an odd spot or something like that. You can try logging out, waiting 10s and logging back in to reload the chunk
Also hopefully that was just the quick equip bug! May be better now that it's fixed
It wasnt, I dont use quick equip and I asked the 2 other people that had the same issue in dms to make sure it wasnt.
Went up to l4 and instantly got a ping, if skellys didnt get changed since the launch it might have actally just been bad luck
make sense kinda, this a high traffic area so theres most likely other players aldready finding the skeles there
tho no pings for more than 1 hrs is def unlikely
@sacred reef people keep getting confused by the 'broken' ghost seek i suggest renaming the prefix
call it 'makeshift' instead
Alr
Pluhseek
invis skelly at L3S2
relog
i have T3 gs and looking almost every angles its not there
3 other people also found it
was anyone else in the area? Chunk (200 block radius) needs to be unloaded which should prompt the missing skel to reappear
invis model is scary
either is a corrupted model (so 1 of the 8 new skele models aint working)
or a precursor to the silverfish glitch
not sure about that
send a person with perms to check it out
currently only using a single model, meg/mm multi model support broke
wot
just do random skill on spawn
and make the random sklill be the 8 different model loads
don't use the option model
ill come check it out ig
invis skely is a very weird bug im sure i fixed
This is unrelated, the system works quite different now
it still uses the modelengine model flag no? you can just use this to randomise the models
L1 S1
5 skeletons : 56:06.7 mins
comment : if possible make it that the spawns are not far in the wall or on 1x1 pots that are in the middle of nowhere
L1S2
5 skeletons : 34:39.21 mins
(this timer is lower because for 3 of them they were just in the caves, another reason is that one spawned right after i killed one, it spawned right next to me)
comment : same as L1 S1
and one more thing to say is that its aids to get skeletons in L1 cuz of the crazy amount of caves, sure the skeletons spawn in them but you have to go out of you way to get them
L1 S3
0 skeletons : spent 28:15.07 mins
comment : cant really leave one, i spent 28 mints trying to find a skeleton, i gave up after 30 mins,
L1 S4
2 skeletons : 47:20.06 mins
comment : the difficulty of moving around the section and the amount of caves in the section makes it really difficulty to find a skeleton
L2 S1
have not timed
L2 S2
4 skeletons : 1:00:37.06 mins
comment : just has difficult as other L2 sections, but has a better traveling spot form moving around the section to find them, still as other sections the caves/1x1 make it hard to find
L2 S3
5 skeletons : 59:16.51 mins
comment : best spot to farm in L2 nothing to really change
L3 S1
have not timed
L3 S2
1 skeleton : 32:57.05
comment : unable to farm skeletons in this section, the nerfs made to L3 is way too much and made it close to impossible to farm in L3
L3 S3
2 skeletons killed 3 found : 26 mins
comment : its as ok spawns if there no one else arm on the same section as you
L3 S4
have not timed
L4 S1
2 skeletons killed 3 found 29:55.28 mins
comment : this section is ok for skeletons farming, no really big problem with them spawning in caves, they mostly spawn on the side or on the goblets.
L4S2
have not timed
L4S3
have not timed
L4S4
have not timed
L5 S1
1 skeleton in 48:07.28 mins
comment: spawns are crazy low, only thing i would say is bring up spawn cap for more skeletons to spawn around the section, L5 is too large for the current spawn cap
L5 S2
0 skeletons in 46:43.64 : redid it: 0 skeletons in 21:08.33 mins
comment: like S1 bring up spawn cap, and maybe make then spawn closer together (i dont fully know)
L5 S3
1 skeleton in 38:29.87 mins
comment: like i said with all the other sections in L5
i tested/timed how long i could get praying skeletons, i wanted to see how easy/hard it was to get skeletons on each section and this is what i seen while farming on (most) of the section
if you wanted to know i used t3 ghost seek
(the L3 times are with the spawn cap of 1)
Finding most of my relics in layer 4, granted that's where i spend most of my time. with pings. they like to spawn on those tiny bridges connecting goblets, usually they can take about 10-30 mins to find depending on my luck lol. I seem to only get bones/iron and not much else, which makes sense. Having very bad luck actually getting relics, and I've only gotten a rank 4 relic once i believe. not sure how helpful this feedback is, I think it's mostly fun trying to find them but it would be nice to get slightly better stuff more often the deeper into the abyss you go
considering every layer has different relics, its designed in a way where grade correlates to rarity to keep it more interesting, so if you have a grade 1 you like you hunt for that in that specific layer
makes the pool smaller and more engaging as well
especially since each layer relic abilities are tied to the layer itself
which is why l2 has plnt weapons l3 has mechanical relics based around caves, morag, l4 has water relics, l5 has idofront/bondrewd themed relics
i have an idea. make fishing give you like a 1/10000 chance of getting you a relic. and also make like a rod which fishes a lil faster and increases your fishing relic luck or add like fishing progression. itd be like a calm thing to do and a change of pace in the genocide filled l3-l5.
also having a really slow portable furnace that you can use in the passive slot might be a good l3 relic as it gives you a way to use the meat you get from passively having to deal with mobs and gives you a reason to not throw it away and same with ores.
