What Bestiary Adds to a Map
Bestiary encounters focus on finding and defeating Beasts. Capturable Beasts are sent to the Menagerie, where they can be used for Beastcrafting recipes. Some recipes can modify items or provide useful crafting outcomes, so the mechanic may interest players looking for specific crafts as well as those who want to collect valuable Beasts.
Bestiary Thread Modifiers
Using a Bestiary Thread guarantees at least one Bestiary-related modifier for the area. Spending more Threads of this type increases the chance of multiple modifiers applying. You can use up to eight of the same Thread type.
Possible modifiers include additional Red Beasts, a large invasion of Red Beasts, Sacred Fauna, the Black Mórrigan, and Beasts empowered by Wildwood Wisps. Some effects can change how the encounter behaves—for example, Yellow Beasts may appear as Nameless Beasts, or nearby enemies may explode when killed.
When to Use Bestiary Thread
Use it when you want to add Beast encounters to a map, gather Beasts for crafting, or pursue the special effects available from Bestiary modifiers. Since the added modifiers are random, consider the Thread’s effects an extra layer of variety rather than a guarantee of one specific Beast or crafting result.
How to Get Bestiary Thread
Bestiary Thread can drop anywhere, with a drop level of 68. A stack can hold up to 100, so you can save them for maps where you want to focus on Bestiary.
