Item Information in Bestiary

Post by Shakura »

The Bestiary currently only says "item" in the "obtained by" section, but does not state which item or creature is needed specifically.

It would be nice if the bestiary had information about this.

Similar to the "Breeds with the following:" section of breedable creatures.
Something like this: "Obtained by using a (item) on a (base creature) (growth stage)."

Example for Erebine Phoneix:
"Obtained by using a Bone Venom on a Silsia Phoenix adult."
"Obtained by using a Bone Venom on a Gamilara Phoenix adult."
"Obtained by using a Bone Venom on a Cardinal Phoenix adult."

(also, you can't transform a Naricasa Phoenix into an Erebine Phoenix, even though it is has same kind of creature design)

It also does not tell you which creature has to be transformed. Sure, you can check in your Items, but what if you are a new player that has no items and ask yourself how to obtain the creature while looking at the Bestiary? You'll need to search the forums, ask around, or look at the offsite fandom wiki (and fandom is plagued by ads, its bad).

Agreed on all of this. With the rerelease of the old Halloween creatures, I remembered how much I like the Mawdracons, but I can't remember for the life of me what item turns decaying into spectral :derp: I finally found the answer, but that took longer than it should have had the info just been readily available.

100% support this suggestion. My memory isn't what it used to be, so I can rarely remember what does which when. :)

This kind of information is already gradually added to the bestiary, and some already have it, so at some point all item related creatures should have this information once we get to all of them.

We are also working on an integrated item guide that will also give more information on items, so that you don't have to try to piece everything together from the bestiary. ^.^

I am, also, wondering this... if the Bone Venom changes a cobra into the bone snake, what about using it on a cobra egg? For those wanting to do a set family thing, it would help us in completing it, otherwise it just looks and feels incomplete.
My Wish list?

There is no hatchling or egg stage at all to the Khadakhad Daant, so that's why it's not possible to use the Bone Venom on the Raza Cobra eggs or hatchlings. :)
