Aniimo Eggs

Aniimo Eggs are collectible items that can be hatched to obtain Aniimo. Different Eggs can have different species, forms, traits, or other possible outcomes, so the source and description of an Egg can be important when deciding which ones to hatch.

How to Use Aniimo Eggs

Take an Egg to an Outpost Hatchinator or the Hatchinator in your Homeland to begin the incubation process. After the incubation timer finishes, return to the Hatchinator to complete the hatching sequence and claim the Aniimo.

• Use: Hatch an Aniimo.

• How to Hatch an Egg: Interact with an Outpost or Homeland Hatchinator, select the Egg, place it in an available slot, and start the incubation timer.

• After Incubation: When the timer finishes, return to the Hatchinator, complete the hatching interaction, and claim the resulting Aniimo.

• Important: Different Eggs can have different possible outcomes, so check the Egg's description before using it.

How to Get Aniimo Eggs

Aniimo Eggs can come from several systems and activities throughout Idyll. The exact source depends on the type of Egg.

Common Egg sources include:

• Use: Hatch a Prismana Form Aniimo.

• How to Use: Place the Prismana Egg in an Outpost Hatchinator or Homeland Hatchinator and begin the incubation process.

• How to Get: The source depends on the specific Prismana Egg. Current sources include Operation: Egg Heist, Egg Nests within Operation: Egg Heist, and limited-time events.

Lumin Amber

Lumin Amber is a rare turn-in material containing Lumin Power that is used to strengthen the Branches found throughout Idyll. Branches absorb Lumin Amber to grow their connection with the Vein, unlocking regional benefits and additional progression as their level increases.

Lumin Amber can be obtained through several exploration activities, so it is worth collecting whenever you encounter it during your travels.

• Use: Offer Lumin Amber to a regional Branch to provide Lumin Power and increase its level.

• How to Use Lumin Amber: Take the required amount of Lumin Amber to the appropriate Branch and submit it to increase the Branch's progression.

• Lumin Marking: Find and complete Lumin Marking locations throughout Idyll to collect Lumin Amber.

Held Items

Held Items are pieces of battle equipment that can be equipped by an Aniimo to provide additional combat effects. Each Held Item has a Base effect that improves a specific stat and a unique Core effect that provides an additional combat effect.

Held Items are available in Rare, Epic, and Legendary rarities, with higher rarities providing stronger Base effects.

• Use: Equip a Held Item to give an Aniimo additional combat stats and a unique Core effect.

• How to Use Held Items: Reach Student Level III to unlock the Held Item slot, then open Aniimo Management, select an Aniimo, enter the Training menu, and equip a Held Item from the Held Item tab.

• Enhancement: Held Items can be enhanced through multiple levels to increase their Base effect.

Homeland Materials

Homeland materials are resources used throughout the Homeland for building, crafting, production, upgrades, and other Home activities. Rather than relying on a single gathering system, the Homeland uses different facilities to produce and process materials, with Aniimo assigned as workers to keep production running.

• Use: Homeland materials are used for construction, crafting, production recipes, facility upgrades, and other Homeland activities.

• How to Get: Produce materials in Homeland facilities such as Farmland, Woodland, Mine, and other production buildings. Some materials can also be obtained through the Homeland Shop, Daily Orders, exploration, and other game systems.

• How Production Works: Place the required facility, select an available production formula, and assign Aniimo with the abilities needed for that production stage. Workers can continue production while you are away from the Homeland.

• Examples of Materials: Homeland production includes crops, wood, minerals, ores, gems, processed materials, cooking ingredients, crafted goods, and other resources.

• Where to Find Them: The source depends on the material. Farmland produces crops, Woodland produces wood and forest resources, while the Mine produces materials such as Shell, Clay, Quartz Ore, Copper Ore, and Gem.

• Storage: Produced materials are kept in the Homeland Warehouse and can be used as ingredients for other production chains or sold through Homeland systems.

Star Materials

Star Materials are used for Capability Awakening, a progression system that increases an Aniimo's Acquired Potential. There are three tiers of Star Materials, with each tier used for different stages of Capability Awakening.

How Star Materials Work

Use the required Star Material in the Capability Awakening system when an Aniimo reaches an upgrade that requires it. Higher stages require higher-tier Star Materials, so it is worth keeping lower-tier materials instead of discarding them.

• Star Dust: The basic tier used during earlier Capability Awakening stages.

• Star Sand: A higher-tier material required for later stages of Capability Awakening.

• Starcryst Essence: A rare, high-tier material used for advanced Capability Awakening.

• Where to Get Them: Sources vary by material and progression stage. Star Materials can be obtained through activities, shops, exchanges, exploration, and progression rewards, with higher-tier materials generally coming from more advanced content.

Prismatic Stones

Prismatic Stones are Legendary training items used to enhance an Aniimo's Core Skill. The game also has Prismatic Stone Fragments, which are separate collection items obtained through specific completion and event rewards.

Psyche Fruit

Psyche Fruit is a Legendary Training item used to reroll an Aniimo's Personality. Personality affects both the Aniimo's combat bonuses and certain Homeland work bonuses, so changing it can be useful when you want a different setup for an Aniimo you plan to keep.

• Use: Rerolls an Aniimo's four Personality traits and gives it a new Personality combination.

• How to Use Psyche Fruit: Open Aniimo Management, select an Aniimo, open its Personality Combat Bonus panel, and choose Change Personality to use a Psyche Fruit.

• Important: The new Personality is random. Psyche Fruit does not let you directly choose the Personality you want.

• Restrictions: Some Aniimo have fixed Personalities and cannot have their Personality changed.

• How to Get: Obtain Psyche Fruit through available shop purchases, including Glimmer-based purchases and certain shop offers.

• Other Shop Sources: The Mysterious Vendor can also offer Psyche Fruit for Credits when the item appears in its inventory.

• What It Does Not Change: Using Psyche Fruit changes Personality, not an Aniimo's Potential, Level, Skills, Family Traits, or Home Abilities.

Aniimo Item Collection Tips

You do not need to farm every item equally from the start. Focus on materials that support your current progression, and collect useful items naturally while exploring, completing activities, and developing your Homeland.

• Prioritize progression materials early. Growth materials, Credits, basic Aniipods, Element Stones, and Aniimo Eggs are useful for building your first team and expanding your collection.

• Save rare items for the right Aniimo. Avoid wasting limited catching items or high-value training materials on Aniimo you do not plan to keep.

• Collect while exploring. Open Chests and pick up useful resources during normal exploration instead of returning to the same areas later just to farm them.

• Build your Homeland production early. Once Homeland systems are unlocked, assign suitable Aniimo to resource-producing facilities so materials accumulate while you focus on other activities.

• Check shops and vendors regularly. Some valuable training materials and progression items have limited purchase opportunities or rotating availability.

• Prioritize items based on your current goal. If you are building a team, focus on training and catching materials. If you are progressing through exploration, prioritize regional resources and Lumin Amber. If you are working on advanced builds, start saving higher-tier training and enhancement materials.

• Use an interactive map when needed. Community maps can help track collectibles such as Chests, Eggs, Lumin Amber, and other exploration targets when you are specifically farming them.
