Yall i have no clue whats going on lol. Any tips, tricks, help? The tutorial went straight through me and i dont know if when a pet is unconsious/defeated in battle, if you can regenerate their health with like a food or health item or if it takes irl minutes/hours

Hi April, welcome to Sylestia!

I don't remember the rate this happens at, but pets will eventually heal on their own as long as you aren't in a battle. Instead of waiting, you can use restore potions or elixirs (or revival draughts to revive an unconscious pet), which you can buy from the Esior's Haven Market or get from mission satchels. You can also pay a fee at the Plaza in the town to heal your pets.

Welcome, I hope you enjoy the game!

A first tip for asking question in the forums: if you want someone to be notified when you reply (like you would have by this), hit the '@' button on their message to type the reply, or put their username in the 'Ping Users' place. I'm happy to answer any questions you've got.

As for unconscious pets, they will recover over time, and that's generally the most cost efficient. If you get revival droughts you can use those on unconscious pets from the items part of the exploration menus or the inventory menu to revive instantly. There are also npcs who can heal your team, but it's pretty expensive.

For new players, getting additional party slots and starting to send pets on missions are really valuble. Party slots will help in battle immensely, and missions are a great source of gold.

At the moment there's a seasonal festival going on, which means there's definitley a lot more information overload than normal. Festivals are the main source of avatar items and special pets with specific colour palettes called 'themed pets', and typically people explore the zone to gather festival items, then use those for the other features. For new players, the zone really expects you've got at least two party members, so not immidietly accessible. The easiest way to engage with the festival would be trick or treating, or just browsing the trade broker for cheap avatar items people are selling from the festival. Up to you whether you want to ignore the festival while you find your feet, try to pick up a few festival items to sell for starting gold, or try dive into it head first.

Thank you for replying! Im also wondering how long eggs usually take to hatch and if it depends on their type, also how do we unlock a new party slot?

Thank you! I mashed a bunch of buttons and managed to find it lol (good ol button mashing never failed me)

Eggs all take about 3 days to hatch. If they're ones you found while exploring, there's a chance they could already have some of the hatching progress and be quicker. There's a difference between the regular and 'fabled' species with how often females can breed, but the eggs will take the same time.

The second party slot is available in Esior's Haven at the sylesti plaza. The third will be available in the second town.

Thank you! Im looking up at the lore, common knowledge, complex details (and obviously the non complex) of a boulder hanging over my head and going, Im going to die now this helps so much thanks again! (Might post more questions tho lol

Do you know the best way to get more gold? (Sorry for constant pinging)

Missions are the main way. Eventually you can do 6 at a time, with the highest rewarding two giving 7.2k and 6k gold respectively on great successes. Eventually selling low quality gear also makes a good profit.

But if you want a decent chunk of gold fast, I'd recommend trying to do some of the festival daily tasks that reward chocolate coins, then selling the chocolate coins. (From the inventory page, you can hit the 'broker item' button with the stack selected to do so).

Getting the reward for nurturing and trick or treating as a visitor should both be super easy, and the other ones with coin rewards are probably doable too. The chocolate coins are selling for around 300 gold each at the moment, so those daily tasks could be worth 30k to 90k gold. Putting stuff on the broker isn't terribly reliable, and prices can fluctuate quickly during festivals, but coins are the type of thing that hopefully sell quickly.
