How to turn a normal Aniimo Sparkling with Sigils

Turning a standard Aniimo you own into its Sparkling form costs ten. The currency has several names. You will see Sparkling Sigils, Sparkling Marks, Sparkling Stamps and shiny stamps, and players often just say "sparklings". All of them mean the thing you save up and spend to make the switch.

The price is fixed at ten. You need the full ten in hand, so treat Sigils as savings and don't expect to trickle them into one Aniimo bit by bit. Before you spend, pick the Aniimo you actually want Sparkling.

Sigils come from Sparkling Aniimo you already have. Each Sparkling you catch and report in the Aniimo report at the terminal gives you one Sparkling Sigil. Registering a Sparkling Aniimo at an outpost or research console also pays out, in sparkling marks or fragments.

That makes the loop simple. Any Sparkling you find is worth registering even if you have no use for that creature, because it moves you closer to the one you do want. Report every Sparkling as soon as you get it. One that never reaches the terminal earns you nothing toward the next conversion.

Sigils are the currency. The conversion happens through a sparkling item. A standard Aniimo can be made Sparkling after capture with either a Sparkling Cube or a Sparkle Pigment. Applying Sparkling Marks to an owned Aniimo is how you pay for it, and the ten sparkling cost covers the change.

The cash shop also sells a Sparkling Collection bundle for 1,680 Lumin Crystals. It is the paid alternative to grinding. If you'd rather earn your Sparklings through play, the terminal and the outposts are free.

The Prismana question is still open. Sparkling Cubes are tied to Prismana Aniimo, but how isn't settled yet. In one version the Cube is especially valuable for catching a Prismana, or even required to catch one. In the other you use it on a Prismana you have already caught, to change its hue.

Those are two very different uses. The first means holding Cubes back for a hunt. The second means you spend them only after the catch. Until it's settled, don't spend Cubes freely on standard Aniimo if you're also chasing Prismana, and don't hoard them for a capture that may not need them.

05Where to start

Report every Sparkling you catch at the terminal and register it at an outpost or research console. Save until you have ten Sigils, then spend them on the one Aniimo you actually want Sparkling, using a Sparkling Cube or Sparkle Pigment. If you're also hunting Prismana, be careful with Cubes until their role there is settled.
