Hello, do not be fooled by my profile, I've returned after a long hiatus and honestly I still have no idea how to do much of anything. So I thought I would take a chance and actually reach out for once with some newbie questions. I hope you're able to answer them or direct me in the right way!

1. What are the purpose of themed pets? Are they just premade pets with all the mutations/colours set and cannot be changed?

2. If I exit the Lost Grove to participate in the festival, will my progress be lost after 24hr and reset my stage? I just got the Barracks done and don't want to do all that again, lol

3. On my main pet, the stat is like, 13 base + 0. What is that +0 and how do I increase it?

4. How do I get a Lighira? They seem so cute

Okay I think that's it for now, hope you're able to help!!

Don't be embarrassed!

1. What are the purpose of themed pets? Are they just premade pets with all the mutations/colours set and cannot be changed?
Themed pets have a preset palette range! They can vary within that range. eg, wooly bear lune 1, wooly bear lune 2
The only ones who have preset traits are Majestics, to an extent, since they can only have traits from their specific set (sets are typically 4-6 traits, some older sets that had less than 6 have been updated to have a full 6 set later on, so it's possible that will happen with other sets with fewer than 6)
Tamed themes- found wild in fest zones and Lost Grove- can be mutated, all themes can be Disrupted (though Restricted Trait Disruptors cannot be used on maj. themes since they don't have any non-res traits that can be replaced). Themed pets can be Dyed, but have the option to be reset to the theme palette.

You can see the summer themes and how they are obtained here


2. If I exit the Lost Grove to participate in the festival, will my progress be lost after 24hr and reset my stage? I just got the Barracks done and don't want to do all that again, lol
Progress isn't lost, it affects spawns. You can mitigate this by exiting the Grove via the barracks or the entrance protal, rather than the exit zone button

3. On my main pet, the stat is like, 13 base + 0. What is that +0 and how do I increase it?
Grove+ stat/ Wild Stat, whatever you may wish to call it. They are found on wild pets in the lost grove, varying in amount by pet rarity (list of amounts here
These cannot be increased though any means. They can be passed down from parent to child, degrading slightly with each generation.

4. How do I get a Lighira? They seem so cute
- Found as wild unthemed in Summer Fest Zone (that's this season!)
- found as wild zone theme in Summer Fest Zone
- creatable via fest activity by obtaining ligh mold/seed/catalyst/frost essence (by season)
- made via the generator using a ligh essence
- bought from other players
- found in the Lost Grove Temple (3rd/final progression area of LG) either themed or unthemed (very, very rarely)
- may be found as specific themes via random encounter during shared zone events (solar eclipse during summer fest, shared garden blooms during spring fest and such)

Thank you so much for all the information, this is incredibly helpful!!
