Sparkling Pigment and Sigils: how to reroll Sparkling hues

Sparkling Sigils come from obtaining Sparkling Aniimo. Catching one is not enough on its own. You also have to report it in the Aniimo report at the terminal, and each Sparkling caught and reported awards one Sigil. Registering a sparkling Aniimo at an outpost or research console is the step that pays out, and the reward goes by a few names in game: sparkling marks, fragments, Sigils and shiny stamps all refer to this currency.

You don't have to spend Sigils as soon as you get them. They can be saved, which matters because they have two uses that compete with each other: buying Pigment and converting a standard Aniimo into a sparkling one. Registering creatures in general has its own guide on this site. For this loop, the point is simple: an unreported Sparkling has not paid you yet.

Sparkling Pigment is bought from Geoff at the Outpost, under the item exchange menu. He is the merchant who takes Sparkling Sigils in exchange for Pigment, so the route is to catch Sparklings, report them, then visit Geoff.

Once bought, Pigment sits in your inventory under the pouch tab. Look there, not with your creature items, when you want to check how many rerolls you have in hand.

The cash shop also sells a Sparkling Collection bundle for 1,680 Lumin Crystals.

A Sparkling Pigment randomly rerolls the colour palette of a shiny Prismana Aniimo. Each reroll uses one Pigment. You can't choose the result, and you can't buy a specific colour.

The catch is duplicates. A reroll can land on the exact hue the Aniimo already has, and that roll still uses up the Pigment. This is still true after version 1.1. Rerolling a Sparkling hue always consumes resources whether or not anything visibly changes, so plan on wasted rolls when you budget your Sigils.

Don't confuse this with transmogrification, which is a broader change. Transmogrification alters an Aniimo's appearance by rerolling every accessible cosmetic slot at once, not just the Sparkling hue.

Before version 1.1, rerolling a Sparkling hue replaced the current colour for good. If you liked the colour you had, one bad roll took it away. The same went for a Prismana's original colour: reroll once and it was gone.

Version 1.1 improves Sparkling hue rolls for Sparkling Prismana Aniimo. A sparkling Prismana can now be switched freely between the sparkling hues it has unlocked, and back to its original Prismana colour. That original hue counts as an unlocked hue in its own right, so you can return to it even after using a Sparkling Cube.

In practice, rerolling is now about adding options instead of risking the one you have. Every new hue you roll joins the set you can pick from. The cost side has not changed, though. Duplicates still eat Pigment. The full list of 1.1 changes has its own article on this site.

You don't have to catch a Sparkling in the wild to own one. Saved Sparkling Sigils can be spent to convert a standard Aniimo into its sparkling variant. A standard Aniimo can also be made sparkling after capture with a sparkling item, either a Sparkling Cube or Sparkle Pigment.

Sparkling Cubes are the item with the least settled role. They are described both as the item you need to capture a Prismana and as an item used on Prismana you have already captured, to change their hue. Which use applies where is not settled yet. What to spend Cubes on has its own guide on this site, so this page won't repeat it.

06Where to start

Report every Sparkling you catch at the terminal so it pays out its Sigil. Then decide whether those Sigils go to Pigment from Geoff or to converting a standard Aniimo. Since 1.1, rerolling a sparkling Prismana no longer costs you the hues you already have, so the only real risk is spending Pigment on duplicate rolls. Budget for that.
