Taming Bestiary

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 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.

• The first page of the Taming Bestiary is the overview page.
• On the overview page players can see their progress towards unlocking upgrade points, and how much their of upgrade points they've spent within each class.

• Players can click the corresponding button at the bottom of the Taming Bestiary to navigate to that Class page

Class Upgrades

• Each Class has their own set of Upgrades that only apply to the player's Tamed Creatures of that Class type (i.e. Attack Upgrades will not apply to Utility Class creatures)
• Each Class also has their own set of Upgrade Points to spend that do not count against the points spent in other classes
• There are 3 Tier Levels possible for each Upgrade
• The Point Costs to increase Tier Levels of Upgrades are 1 Point, 2 Points, and 3 Points respectively (i.e. Tier 3 costs 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 Points total spent)
• Players can Reset all their Points Spent for a class, once every 5 minutes, by clicking the "Reset Points" button
• Players can click the Info button next to each upgrade to view a description of it, and see what bonuses it provides at (Tier 1 / Tier 2 / Tier 3)

Class Upgrade Effects

• The bonuses from Upgrades will only ever apply in PvM (will never apply in PvP)
• By default, the bonuses of Upgrades will only apply to creature's belonging to that Class type (i.e Attack Class bonuses only apply to Attack Class creatures)
• Note: The are a few exceptions where certain Upgrades will explicitly mention that the bonus will apply to tamed creatures of other class types or even the potentially Tamer player themself
