I'm not sure what it's used for in game, but that looks like a recolor of the Baby Couerl costume you can get from Pungent Powder.

is it even a recolor, or is it just the bonanza weapon dat? I have a feeling they spend more time typing the stats, such as they are, into the weapon window, and that isn't exactly an indepth process. then again, this month we have "Trial by (Element)" as a monthly Deeds objective, sooo...
Upon further inspection, its not even a reskin, its a cosmetic version of the Dragon Fangs bonanza weapon.

The aforementioned 10 minutes was highly overshot. This is one minute of copy/paste with a little bit of typing. It probably takes longer for the intern to VPN in and load up the software on a VM.

Pretty sure they're just clones eyeballing the pics on the POL login point campaign and comparing to the pic linked on the bonanza page.

Yeah I'm pretty sure they're exact clones. My stupid no-good LS mate (yes I'm jealous) has the actual Yagyu Darkblade, so I've seen that (Tarutaru version) and it looks to me like the same as the Yagyu Shortblade.

Since the last one was Leviathan would it not be Fenrir this time round?
I just killed Titan, got the point.

The RoE objective was adjusted. "Trial by (Element)" means that ANY prime avatar battle will count toward the monthly objective.

Anyone do VD+D/N/E/VE to find out if "every difficulty" is correct and not a mistranslation

Others answered already, but it's also very obviously a re-textured Carbuncle.

It's worth pointing out that they have added quite a bit of stuff in the past year however, to keep stuff in perspective.

Mainly recolors and stuff but still.

Also what is this from, I don't recognize it from anything (dat from the end of last year).

It's a coeurl kitten of some sort. I hope they implement it in some form of content at some point. It's cute lol. I like it.

It's a slight mod of that model.
Different tail, different ears, different textures, same core 3D model.

But that applies to a lot of stuff, in a lot of games.
It's not like this fact alone is the "sign" of low resources.
It's pretty much the standard in 3D games. And honestly, with due differences, it was pretty common in the 2D eras to modify sprites instead of creating entirely new ones XD

As was mentioned on the last page, it's a re-color of the coeurl cub from monster rearing. Never seen it in-game and nobody else has said where it is, so maybe it doesn't exist in the game right now, but it's absolutely identical to the coeurl cub from monster rearing, except the fur color. Looks like a baby Lynx (red fur) but that's not a thing in rearing because Lynx come from coeurl cubs, not their own cub.

They should make cosmetic trusts from all these baby monsters, and allow people to call upto one in towns too. That's low effort stuff that people would want.

Only if I have to jump through tons of arduous hoops to unlock each one.

You sure the lynx cub wasn't put in to stand next to Chacharoon for the New Year's event last year? That's the only place I can think of.

2023 was year of the rabbit so that is doubtful, there was a white one that appeared during full moon or something.

2022 was tigers so that would fit maybe, but if it wasn't even added yet guess not.

It was added the same patch as the Flan BCNM.

There is also a rainbow mimic in the dats. Perhaps SE has ideas, puts them in the game, and then does a u-turn.

I think there's some obscure tech limit on adding lots of new spells, but letting us apply costumes to existing trusts would be awesome.

I'd probably re-sub for a month or two to faceroll some casual stuff with the baby behemoth brigade.

I'd rather them devote resources to revamping or making relevant for example adding exemplar points (big chunks) to meeble burrows or other existing content. Make content richer.

However, I (and most gamers) like lockstyle so why not.

Can confirm: Sealed VD before JPM 18k hallmarks, sealed VD after JPM another 18k Hallmarks, then sealed D for 12k Hallmarks. the VDs afterwards without campaign bonus.

Should do boosted Normal difficulty too. It's faster/easier and same points as VD.
