Sacred Companions currently feel disproportionately difficult to obtain. Given that they require over 2 billion XP to fully level, the acquisition process itself should be more accessible. Players should not only have a fairer chance at capturing them but also meaningful opportunities to continue progressing toward ownership.
Suggested Improvements
- Tier-Based Capture Rates
Increase capture probability based on patrol zone tier. For example:
- Tier 5: 100% capture rate
- Tier 4: 75% capture rate
- Tier 3: 50% capture rate
This ensures higher-tier encounters feel rewarding rather than frustrating.
- Mercy System
Implement a safeguard against extreme bad luck. For instance, after hundreds of attempts (e.g., 400+ kills of a Sacred Lion), a guaranteed capture should trigger. Without such a system, the experience feels broken rather than challenging.
- Multiple Capture Incentives
Reward duplicate captures with progression boosts. For example, capturing an additional Sacred Elephant could grant a flat XP bonus to the Sacred Elephant already in a player’s roster. This would make repeated encounters meaningful rather than redundant.
