The Animalistic Spirit Weapons and Shields, also known as Animalistic Fury, were first released at pay event Duskruin in August 2020 at the Untamed Spirit shop. There are now four versions of the Animalistic Spirit items:
- Animalistic Spirit Weapons
- Animalistic Spirit Shields
- Animalistic Spirit Armor
- Animalistic Spirit Headdress
Animalistic Totems were released in August 2024 at the Totemic Spirits shop. While they do not provide mechanical benefit as part of the Animalistic Spirit set for those items, they are similarly themed.
Affinity/Taming
As the spirits within the items are wild and untamed, you must tame the spirit to prevent them from backlashing on you. The backlash happens if you are wielding the weapon/shield (i.e., held in hand or worn in the case of UCS gloves/boots). The backlash is different depending on the weapon or shield type - melee weapons and runestaves will make it so you cannot parry, UCS gloves/boots and ranged will give you a DS/TD debuff, while shields will make it so you cannot block. NOTE: This is only a very short effect and does not happen all the time. The more tame the spirit is, the less chance it will backlash and the shorter the backlash will last. When fully tame, the spirit will not backlash on you at all.
To tame the spirit, you must successfully hit like-level foes with the weapon/shield, or successfully parry(melee/runestaves), evade (UCS/ranged), or block (shield) attacks from like-level foes while you are in a forward or greater stance and actively participating in combat.
The spirits will only trust one person at a time - if you want to pass this weapon/shield off to someone else, the new owner will have to work off the trust gained by the previous owner before gaining trust of their own.
The more tame the spirit is, the more powerful the Animalistic Fury flares will become. You can unlock the ceiling/potential top end of the flare strength by unlocking the flare tier. Off the shelf, the flares will max out at regular flare strength.
Animalistic Spirit Defaults and Allowed Nouns
Note: The first noun listed in the allowed nouns cell for each spirit type is the default noun that will be applied with any spirit change certificate. The default color is always misty green. Changing the animal noun within a Spirit Type is done via Alteration services.
