	Darn, I missed a tick in not making this system like M:TG. Think of all the silver it would have brought in if your beast choice was random on purchase? I didn't do that because I'm not a jerk. Well, I am, but not on that level. Right?		Darn, I missed a tick in not making this system like M:TG. Think of all the silver it would have brought in if your beast choice was random on purchase?

			}}<i>Editor's note: '''[[Talondown Arena]]''' information appears on that page. Only Spirit Beast system info here.</i>

			Armaments, beast experience potions, and common and uncommon Spirit Beast enhancements are all available for purchase or winning at the Talondown Arena!

			Max Speed bonus now allows your beast to attack once every 7 seconds, up from 5. This was to compensate for the overwhelming speed of high-level fights, which were becoming a hindrance to strategizing even for experienced players. Speed ranks have been adjusted accordingly.

			To positively readjust the value of Speed, extremely high levels of Speed now qualify beasts for the "Blinding Speed" buff, which begins as a passive 3% boost to attack avoidance and climbs from there.

			Accuracy has now been considerably improved. Base special attack damage has been reduced slightly, but it is now boosted by Accuracy. Beasts with average levels of Accuracy should see no noticeable damage change, but those with high Accuracy will see more damage out of their special attacks. Furthermore, Accuracy now provides a chance to do more--but still reduced--damage while guarding.

			Experience 'til next is now shown on Spirit Beast talismans!

			\| subject = Spirit Beasts 2.0 Release
			}}Some avid players of Spirit Beasts have noticed changes to their talismans today. There are quite a few updates as part of the 2.0 release, but the most pertinent one's you'll be seeing right now are:

			*'''Clearer Info''' - Numerical values now exist for all Spirit Beast stats, accompanied by rough values appropriate for in-character discussion.

			*'''Combat''' - It's been rebalanced around recent fight tracking to even out the gaps between certain overperforming and underperforming spirit beasts.

			*'''Spirit Beast Armaments''' - You'll now be able to collect and use armaments for your Spirit Beasts. These come in three different levels: Lesser, Sturdy, and Potent armaments. More powerful armaments can do things like allow your beast access to new skills; all armaments will modify its stats in new and interesting ways. PUT armaments in your talisman to add them, DISARM the talisman to remove them.

			*'''Level-matching''' - You can now FLIP your talisman and it will level match for lower-level beasts. Beasts will gain experience according to their actual levels, meaning that experienced Spirit Beast gladiators can help their friends gain experience more quickly.

			*'''Fight Notifications''' - RUBbing your talisman while it's worn will now tune you in to receive fight notifications as they happen across Elanthia.

			*'''New Spirit Beast Elements''' - Wild Magic (strong against spirit, weak against elements) and Rift Armament (strong against elements, weak against spirit).

			*'''New Spirit Beast Special Abilities''' - Frailty (weak against criticals), Troll's Tenacity (has a chance to struggle for life), and Leech (has a chance to drain health on normal attacks), all acquired through equipment.

			*'''Replacement Potions''' - Tired of your Spirit Beast? No problem! They can now be modified with replacement potions, which will trade out your existing beast with another of the same rarity level. All mechanical enhancements will be maintained. All physical customizations are removed by these.

			*'''Classes''' - Beasts are now sorted into classes: Humanoids, Beasts, Elementals, Arthropods, and Aberrations. This is ultra-important for armaments!

	Once your first beast reaches its twentieth training (don't worry, that will take a bit) you'll be able to bind your first uncommon beast. Uncommon beasts are a bit harder to find, lurking in special locales. And once you've gotten one of those to its twentieth train, there are rumors abounding about legendary beasts that only exist in a single place. These will obviously take some serious hunting to find, but the good news is that you have pleeeeenty of work to do before then, now, don't you?

			}}''How many different spirit beasts are there totally; including common, uncommon and legendary? We need to know how many pokeba... erm talismans to buy to collect them all.''

			There are currently 107 Spirit Beasts. Of those, 39 are common, 16 are uncommon, and 52 are legendary. If you want to be a Pokem--er, Battle Pet--er, Spirit Beast master, well... that would take quite a bit of time. Each talisman holds three Spirit Beasts: one common, one uncommon, and one rare. You have to reach max level with the common to bind an uncommon, and max level with the uncommon to bind a rare. Yeah, I know the numbers are a little skewed if legendary beasts make up a plurality of the system. This is because legendary beasts are found in individual rooms. Uncommon beasts are found in parts of areas (and no, not giving hints!) Common beasts are realm-wide except in towns.

			''Are there kobolds with katanas?''

			No, but if you're clever, you can use the system to find out exactly what happens when a kobold attempts to use advanced armor and weaponry. It's... not pretty. I'm only half-joking here.

			''What is the benefit of having high quality blood?''

			It makes offering a talisman to a beast a bit easier.

			''Off the shelf. Since there will be possibly some folks who cannot take all their characters to EG, is it possible to pick up talismans at EG to give to another character?''

			Yup!

			''Creature types. Does the talisman picked up affect the creature that can be summoned with it? So far, I've seen rat and roa'ter - will there be a list of creatures (common/uncommon) that we can find, or is that now an in-game puzzle and left to discovery?''

			As an immediate next project, I'm thinking about doing some sort of enchiridion (let's not call it a Pokedex) for people who'd like to collect information on beast locations. Finding all the common beasts should be relatively easy, as you can step outside a town and start attuning. Common beasts are available in the surroundings of Wehnimer's, Kharam Dzu, Solhaven, River's Rest, Icemule Trace, Zul Logoth, Pinefar, Ta'Vaalor, and Ta'Illistim.

			''Or, will this merchant come back in a month or so after we've had time to tinker?''

			I intend to make customization for the talismans broadly available. I'll probably restrict modification of the beasts themselves (i.e. special attacks, custom look descriptions) to me for a bit, as they're a little tough to do at the moment.

			''How will one know relative statistics of spirit creature, in order to best make use of stances and/or strategies?''

			This is a good question. In testing, I found that a high-power, low-intuition creature like a [[roa'ter]] could definitely get its butt kicked by even a low-health, speedy creature like a rat if played well. Insight is kind of a fun stat. But yeah, currently you can look at your talisman to get a readout of relative stats. Like this:

			''look talis''<BR>
			A simple clay talisman is currently attuned to a spectral thrak of 1 train.

			Its Power is high.<BR>
			Its Defense is low.<BR>
			Its Speed is low.<BR>
			Its Insight is moderate.<BR>
			Its Accuracy is moderate.<BR>
			Its Health is moderate.

			Its Power will grow slowly.<BR>
			Its Defense will grow quickly.<BR>
			Its Speed will grow at a moderate pace.<BR>
			Its Insight will grow at a moderate pace.<BR>
			Its Accuracy will grow at a moderate pace.<BR>
			Its Health will grow at a moderate pace.

			Its Insight has been enhanced by 1 points.

			''5) Potions for the spirit beast are temporary or permanent additions to creature's statistics?''

			Permanent. There's not currently a potion for clearing stat additions, but I'm thinking that'll be useful to have.

			''6) Binding common/uncommon. If I have a 20th level common rat spirit, that will enable my talisman to attract an uncommon creature (which, I assume, will be as powerful as a 20th level common rat spirit?). So.. the talisman can store multiple creatures.. or do the spirit creatures trade places?''

			The talismans hold three creatures, one of each tier. It's an unlock system, basically. And yeah, it's automatic.

			''Homelands''

			Darn, I missed a tick in not making this system like M:TG. Think of all the silver it would have brought in if your beast choice was random on purchase? I didn't do that because I'm not a jerk. Well, I am, but not on that level. Right?
