Summary
- The Taming Bestiary is an item which lets tamers earn experience to unlock various upgrades which apply to creatures of the various tamed classes.
- The Taming Bestiary is crafted by players using the Inscription skill and is '''Blessed'''
Earning Experience
- Players require a minimum of 80 Animal Taming and Animal Lore skill in order to earn experience toward their Taming Bestiary.
- Players earn experience towards their Taming Bestiary by killing creatures while using tamed creatures.
- Players can use any type of tamed creatures in order to earn taming bestiary experience.
- While experience gains are not tied to creature-based damage, they will be scaled based on how many slots of tamed creatures the player is using (i.e. players should utilize all 5 of their control slots in order to maximize their experience gain).
Upgrade Points
- When players reach enough experience earned, they will unlock an "upgrade point" they can use to spend in the taming bestiary for all the classes.
- Players can earn up to 20 upgrade points for their taming bestiary.
- Each upgrade point earned raises the amount of upgrade points spendable for each class (attack, utility, tank).
- Each class has their own pool of points to spend that does not count against the other classes points spent.
Cross-Class Upgrades
When selecting upgrades for each Class (Attack / Utility / Tank) in the Taming Bestiary, players now can optionally spend up to 5 of their Points on upgrades coming from other classes, which become referred to as [Cross-Class] upgrades selections
- For example, in a player's Attack Class selections, they could take the "Critical Care" upgrade from the Utility class, which would become a [Cross-Class] upgrade for them
- [Cross-Class] selections are entirely optional, and will count towards the player's normal "Points Spent" limit of 20 points
- Normal class upgrades will appear in light green text if unselected and green text if selected
- [Cross Class] upgrades will appear in grey text if unselected and in orange text if selected
