The Creature Progression system offers opportunities for your Companion Creature to deepen their connection with their Affliction, turning weaknesses in to strengths. Most Companion Creatures will follow the typical progression path of their individual Affliction, however, as long as you stay within the bounds of your Companion's current level and purchased talents, we allow for some flexibility in interpretation. You may purchase alternate progression paths for characters from the Marketplace; contact the support team if you have an idea you would like to explore!
Participating in the progression system is completely optional. If you prefer your Companion remain at Level 0, that is perfectly fine. The levels serve as a guide for unlocking new experiences, not a requirement.
Progression
★ Earning Essence Shards
This section was added February 9, 2024.
- Each post you write that includes or mentions your Creature's Affliction will net you +25 Essence Shards that are automatically absorbed from ambient magic.
- Creatures might also produce tangible Shards that can be sold or used for other purposes through participation in Mini-Games.
- An Creature's point balance is automatically updated when you create a new post with the Companion Creature Progression option selected.
- Please notify Support using your private support channel if you incorrectly mark a post, so we can add/remove points as needed.
- Level progression is tracked on an Creature's profile.
- You may also gain Essence Shards during events, Seasons, or mini-games.
About Afflictions
- The magical corruption that created Afflictions initially has had an uncontrolled, chaotic effect on all Creatures.
- The Affliction's associated element or energy often overrides the Creature's natural behaviors and instincts.
- A Companion Creature can gradually gain control over their Affliction by finding the right sustenance.
- Ingesting Essence Shards that match an Creature's Affliction helps them reforge their lost connection and stabilize the chaotic effects.
- The shards essentially act as a conduit, allowing Afflicted Creatures to safely interact with the magic once more.
- Once a Creature has consistently consumed the appropriate shards, their Ognoshu can help them train to master their Affliction, turning a weakness into a strength.
- Each Affliction has its own progression path; most of these will have similar requirements, however, Affliction difficulty/rarity will influence the amount of Essence Shards required to level.
- We allow players some flexibility in how their Creature's Affliction affects them on an individual basis, however, they should generally align with the capabilities and difficulties described for each level.
- The road to mastery is long, but with patience and care, even the most unstable Afflictions can be tamed!
