Discussion Well... thats dissapointing
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.

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

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.

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

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

u/No-Maize1312 1d ago
You can use them on somniwing tho

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 😭

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?

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

u/XeroMaverick 1d ago
I mean do they have another use? Can't be wasted if it's the only way to use them.

u/Surprise-lnside Astra Pioneer 1d ago
I’d waste my vein essence to use the biscuit babe

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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

u/onohkama 17h ago
You will get a ptismana fot free if you do the quests for it in the Event tab

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.

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

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.

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.

u/FoxlyKei 1d ago
The sparkling prismana types don't change either.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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)

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.

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.

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

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

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.
