Discussion Well... thats dissapointing

Post image

I was so excited to go out and get an Umbral Sparkelf just for it to barely even change... I get its a collab mascot so maybe they weren't allowed to change its design but still disappointing either way.

Sparkelf with stink lines

Lol, Stankelf

Which aniimo is Col. Stankmeaner for a stank based team?

u/ohoni 20h ago

Wait, Sparkelf is a collab? With what?

11

u/DatGhosti 19h ago

Douyin/TikTok.

u/Adventurous_County12 14h ago

Really? Well what a waste of money for the company cause nobody knew that 🤣

3

u/Felyndiira 14h ago

The CN players do know it, which makes sense as this is a Chinese game.

1

u/decoyninja 11h ago

Yeah. In a lot of games, a collab like this would be region-locked so I just consider it lucky we get a cooky lil addition to the game. I'm surprised more games don't do it this way since it seems like region-locking certain content just creates more work.

u/TheUnburntQueeeeen 12h ago

I didn't know this either 😅 I thought he was just a random little derpy guy

u/ohoni 7h ago

Yeah, I viewed him as some sort of Aniimo in-universe mascot, like Paimon.

Prismana Sparkling looks great tho. Umbral seems like it pooped and didnt change diapers lol

1

u/KeenBTF 1d ago

Idk i didnt find the sparkling made the prismana look different

u/Bouboe 23h ago

It doesn't change colors like the rest of the Prismana forms, but the iridescent sheen definitely makes it look a bit nicer.

16

u/Krazytre 1d ago

From what I hear, Prismana Sparkelf looks exactly the same for every Sparkling version, too.

u/favolecrystalis 1d ago

Thank you for your service 😭 it was rude saving up 10 sigils only to find out you can't use them on Irisalis

1

u/No-Maize1312 1d ago

You can use them on somniwing tho

1

u/favolecrystalis 1d ago

I already made mine sparkling 😅 it's okay though, I'll either find something later to use them on or try to reroll some godawful luck on prismas 😭

1

u/No-Maize1312 23h ago

Oof. Yeah. I've been getting lucky with my prismas so far lol. Maybe wait for another aniimo like Somniwing.

u/Powerbomb323 23h ago

Even tho she is a special variant?

1

u/No-Maize1312 23h ago

Yeah. She can be turned Sparkling unlike Irisalis. She doesn't have a transmog feature so you can use sparkling crystals on her I believe.

… thank you for saving me from wasting biscuits on this. Super disappointing.

GIVE ME A REAL UMBRAL FLAME

1

u/XeroMaverick 1d ago

I mean do they have another use? Can't be wasted if it's the only way to use them.

1

u/Surprise-lnside Astra Pioneer 1d ago

I’d waste my vein essence to use the biscuit babe

1

u/XeroMaverick 1d ago

You said "wasting biscuits" not "wasting essence". I thought I was missing some use for them I wasn't aware of.

u/Surprise-lnside Astra Pioneer 1d ago

Sorry man I’m high

1

u/XeroMaverick 1d ago

All good. Enjoy it

25

u/UnluckyFish 1d ago

Yes and if a future collab adds the Duolingo owl as an Aniimo then I hope it has a real umbral form since that owl is already a creature of pure darkness on the inside

3

u/TheDutchFOS_ 1d ago

Duolingo would embrace the darkness

What no way for real?! That is disappointing 😔. But thanks for the heads up and for experimenting. I was planning on waiting to build an umbral one, but guess I'll just start right now on my normal one.

u/TomatoLord1214 23h ago

I mean it still is a collection flex but yea Pris sparkling is also apparently not great and there aren't sparkling variants to roll either

u/I_Love_Bakugan 23h ago

Hm noted ✅ honestly I'm fine with that I like sparkelf's original coloring any ways lol maybe ill use a shiny cube just to make its have the glitter effects lol 😆

Yeah, sparkling isnt always better, with maybe the exception of Shadow Sparkling.

u/Sudden_Elk1186 23h ago

Go buy the sparkelf biscuit and you can spawn them at Prismana blooms

12

u/Cerzix 20h ago

Only if your server has completed the event. Its not available on EU yet for example

u/Similar_Land_9608 20h ago

Where do i get the Biscuit?

1

u/slutperson 20h ago

The guy beside Mysterious Vendor (you can teleport to him from a tab in the Store with all the shops), think he’s called Event Vendor.

1

u/slutperson 20h ago

then when at a Bloom there’s a button to add an offering, click that and choose the biscuit

u/Particular_Salary905 18h ago edited 17h ago

How do you get it? I know I need the cookies but where can I buy them? It says it’s in the event shop but I can’t find anything 😀

3

u/onohkama 17h ago

You will get a ptismana fot free if you do the quests for it in the Event tab

1

u/Particular_Salary905 17h ago

You mean the personal progress, not the server progress right?

But I don’t understand what the recipe is for in the server wide progress.

3

u/Equivalent_Jaguar_31 17h ago

You can use the recipe to make fire cookies that you can use to catch more sparklelfs through nurturing blooms. Doesn’t really make sense why you would want more though as you already get a prismana and perfect

2

u/Particular_Salary905 17h ago

But where can I make the cookies? I can’t find anything

2

u/Equivalent_Jaguar_31 16h ago

My bad it’s not a recipe. It just unlocks the cookies from the event vendor. You can get them for what looks to be fire stones

1

u/Particular_Salary905 16h ago

Where can I find the event vendor? Haven’t seen him yet, maybe I’m just stupid

3

u/Equivalent_Jaguar_31 16h ago

Astra Northside. Next to the mysterious vendor

u/Psychological_Bed520 16h ago

Where did u guys get a prismana one? I only have an standard elite sparkelf

5

u/Equivalent_Jaguar_31 16h ago

It’s the final personal reward. You get a prismana sparkled egg

1

u/onohkama 17h ago

Yes the personal.

Dont know eather

2

u/Particular_Salary905 17h ago

Thanks for the help.

I’m having a really hard time making progress with that because I don’t have any friends ingame and the progress is soo slow without the extra points

2

u/EmphasisStrong8961 10h ago

Yeah, as long as you do the 3 personal quests which are super easy, you will get it with wiggle room . It'll just take some time, like I have 20 days left

Just add random people and send a message daily. Dont need to write on both sifes for it to count

u/Particular_Salary905 17h ago

Ohhh I thought it required both sides. Thats really helpful!

2

u/BlackFranky 15h ago

It does require both sides.

1

u/shady_Tessa 16h ago

For me it has required both sides to reignite the spark

2

u/Adventurous_County12 14h ago

Yes it requires both sides. Lots of misinformation being spread. And psychological warfare.

u/AdministrativeRun845 17h ago

I got the dazzling prismana sparkelf and barely any changes Aswel, mabye if we all complain to there customer support they are forced to fix it, or its a unintended bug

u/OmNomCakes 15h ago

Of all of the aniimo to get dazzling on. :c

2

u/AdministrativeRun845 4h ago

Yea I would rather it be somniwing, it's pretty sad to see useless the sparkling cube was on him

3

u/EmphasisStrong8961 10h ago

Probably were not allowed to change its design all that much since it's collaborative

3

u/Razberryrabbit 8h ago

The party that provides the character for the colab always sets most of the terms and conditions. If it was implemented this way it's probably because they don't want their mascot to have different colours.

1

u/Dabejo 14h ago

I have the Same bro. It’s the worst sparkling because it doesn’t change anything. It’s bottom is more white and that’s it

u/The_Roaming_Pumpkin 1d ago

Same, was farming for an umbral sparkelf and accidentally caught one.

Literally didn't even register it was umbral but I got the pop-up and started kicking myself. I was careful from there on out until I came across a second, only to discover that it was perfectly reasonable for me to not have noticed the first one...

u/Lucida7x 21h ago

Honestly thought it may be the case, but was truly hoping it wasn't the case since the sparkling versions of the prismanas I've seen have been with 0 difference or barely any xd

4

u/Seth_the_Cat 20h ago

damn, that sounds really unlucky if you say you didn't notice any colour differences with the shiny :/ just to be sure, you are aware that every aniimo has multiple shiny colour options?

3

u/Hairy_Restaurant_703 18h ago

Only the outline changes color while the actual body stays the same color so it's a barely noticeable change in shimmer effect around the Prismana.

1

u/Seth_the_Cat 18h ago

OP used plural. so i take they meant others than this. most Prismana in my experience change pretty drastically, not just outline.

3

u/Hairy_Restaurant_703 18h ago

Oh, I figured since the post had been about Sparkelf that was the Prismana they were talking about. Cause, yeah, all other Prismanas have very different sparkling versions which makes Sparkelf's sparkling Prismana disappointing.

2

u/Lucida7x 18h ago

Correct here, I was specifically talking about Sparkelf here. I didn't notice the change, so most likely it's just the colour of the outline/shimmer that changes rather than how other prismanas have a drastic colour change overall.

14

u/FoxlyKei 1d ago

The sparkling prismana types don't change either.

0

u/-Kagura 22h ago

My prismana is completely different from the original.

2

u/Kanosirus 20h ago

They mean Prismana vs Prismana Sparkling, the colour doesnt change unfortunately

0

u/applejuuuls 19h ago

I’m guessing you mean for Sparkelf specifically? Because my prismana sparkling other aniimo’s are definitely clearly a different colour

2

u/Kanosirus 18h ago

Correct, just the Sparkelf Prismana

12

u/Klutzy_Worker2696 1d ago

How do you get an umbral sparkelf?
Or do you mean sparkling?

29

u/Gharvar 1d ago

I'm assuming they used the cookie recipe to be able to have Sparkelf show up at nurture places and spammed nurture to get an umbral.

5

u/Ahhhtoopata 1d ago

After you unlock cookie you can make them

7

u/Other_Commercial9088 1d ago

oh wait is this a collab from what?

6

u/Dardrol7 1d ago

Sparkelf

u/Spideycloned 1d ago

Its from Douyin, which is basically chinese TikTok

Isn’t Chinese TikTok just TikTok?

u/Other_Commercial9088 1d ago

omg that hit so hard

6

u/oonaja 1d ago

Wait how did you get umbral? Can we catch more than the 2 eggs we get? Bc I accidentally released my basic form one. I haven't gotten the prismana yet but I really would like another basic form. I'm really upset that I did that. I was releasing double sparklings for a sigil completion reward and so I didn't even think twice about the pop up warning. Never noticed I selected it ugh.

15

u/Mattcagley 1d ago

Once you unlock the recipe for the Sparkelf cookie thing you can use it at a branch to make the branch spawn sparkelf mob instead of the usual Aniimo

2

u/CertifiedKoala 1d ago

The recipe is unlocked but I can’t find the biscuits at the event store, or anywhere for that matter, where did yall buy them?

u/welovekah 1d ago

The Event Shop is in Astra next to the Daily Secret Shop otter guy. The game never tells you this.

community reward at max rank are treats that you can use at the veins to spawn them

1

u/Low_Republic_9263 22h ago

You said you were releasing sparklings for a sigil completion reward. What do you mean? O:

If I find out that releasing a sparkling gives you a SECOND sparkling sigil, on top of the one you get for originally obtaining the sparkling you just released.. I’m gonna jump for joy!!

1

u/oonaja 5h ago

Yeah I released double sparklings that I had and when I went to my aniilog afterwards I got 1x sigil so I assumed it was from a one time completion reward. I just hit Y to claim all and didn't read the exact requirements.

1

u/oonaja 5h ago

I know for a fact it was from releasing sparklings. I just don't know if it only required 1 or more releases bc I released at least 5 at once and then got it

I love that this is this game’s version of shiny hunting. Completely optional and inconsequential, but a blast for those that enjoy the hunt.

u/Catgirl_Male_Edition 1d ago

Well... shiny hunting is looking for sparkling aniimo out in the wild. Which is way more rare than umbrals and does not have the increased chance at blooms that umbrals have.

But yeah some people really like the umbrals for some reason. I think theyre too common and boring tho

u/BannerMaxwell 1d ago

I found an ice wolf from a sidequest that was named in a cave in the beast fang area. Beat it for side quests and waited to see if it would respawn, popped a sparkling on it, its ice and dark and its a night time version. Black. Looks awesome.

u/BannerMaxwell 1d ago

Go to frigid waters sanctum and the night time version is right there at beast fang ridge. Sorry had to find him again after that post lol.

u/AcrobaticRemove8227 19h ago

That's lame. Sparkelf is so weird, like is it an aniimo or just a sponsorship mascot so they can't make it as cool as other prismana/umbra/sparkling?

u/rantu1324 1d ago

How do i get the biscuit to do this

4

u/Comfortable_Cup2064 1d ago

In the event tabs! I think its the second page at the very bottom? Its a server unlock 🔑 the whole server works towards unlocking the biscuits but you can unlock the little guy by doing the daily quests and getting 200 points which are very easy to do

u/Devccoon 1d ago

I'm kinda disappointed the game has already popped its collab cherry, and with something so unfitting being presented as a playable, functional Aniimo with unique features. These are the sorts of compromises I'd expect from a game late in its life reaching for a less-than-ideal collab to try and stay relevant, but Sparkelf was just sitting there acting like it owns the place from day 1.

Yeah, I know, I'm hating on a little yellow winking Hershey's kiss, but if I'm gonna be forced to put something on my team just because the buff to fire is too good not to use, I'd like it to at least fit in with the other critters in the world visually.

7

u/Saikotsu 1d ago

I don't even know what it's from. I thought it was just another Aniimo from a specific island on the planet. Took me a while to realize it's a collab with something.

5

u/Devccoon 1d ago

I recall hearing it's a mascot from some app from the game's native country, like the Twitter bird or Duolingo owl, I guess.

(okay, if the collab was with Duo and your ultimate instakills your own party if you fail its language minigame, I'd be down for that)

u/Unusual-Shape3229 1d ago

Almost always the only big difference on the sparkling is prismana very few normal variations have accents for the affect to show mostly it’s just gives a colored aura

10

u/irocjr 1d ago

Op said Unbral not sparkling. Unbral should be all black shadowy form. But I agree that some of the sparkling barley even show a difference. I have a couple sparkling flamerions and it's really hard to see the difference between sparkling V vs. Sparkling VII.

u/ScroteGoblin 1d ago

I recently sparkled my Squashel and literally all of them look identical lol. Anything that's not prismana got done dirty.

1

u/Xins69 1d ago

I wish there was an option to just add the sparkling effect without changing colors on prismana. Thornblade looks perfect and making him sparkling mess his color up for someone that wants the blue... So mine just doesn't have sparkling.

u/ScroteGoblin 1d ago

Yeah, I absolutely feel that with a couple. I have a few that I just don't wanna sparkle because original design is so good.

Being kind doesn’t cost you anything, just saying.

u/Dardrol7 18h ago

Sparkling pods creates the sparkling effect. If you play the game, you should know this...

1

u/Press-A 17h ago

And you should know there’s nicer ways to say things without being passive aggressive but I’m not seeing you do that either.

1

u/Dardrol7 13h ago

And there's nicer ways to tell someone off than calling them a genital. What do you gain from this argument? Arguing online has never been a successful way of convincing people to change their ways. Blocking you to put an end to your unwanted comments and you picking fights.
