✦ Rarity · Rare — "Keeps the bone supply running"

Bone is one of the more annoying materials to keep stocked, because the usual method is hunting skeleton-dropping Pals on repeat. Sootseer turns it into a farm output: put it on a Ranch and Grave Robber digs up Bone, scaling from 1 at Pal level 1 to 3–10 by level 10.

Partner skill

Grave Robber — "While in party, player and party Pals take (15~30)% less Neutral damage. (Does not stack) Sometimes digs up Bone when assigned to Ranch." The party half — 15–30% less Neutral damage — is the smaller draw. The Ranch output is why it earns a permanent slot.

How to breed Sootseer

Sootseer hatches from a Large Dark Egg, or you can catch one in the wild. In the Breeding Farm it sits at CombiRank 980, so plenty of matching pairs can land on it.

The story of Sootseer

"It was once believed that as the world approached its end, the flame would weaken. Doomsayers would repeatedly rejoice when the flame began to weaken, but in the end, it turned out to be a prank by Sootseer. At least, for now."

The lore is about a flame that keeps almost going out. Doomsayers celebrated each time it weakened, convinced the world was ending — and each time it came back. A Pal whose entire mythology is people misreading a flicker as an ending, which is a strangely gentle joke to attach to a bone-digging scavenger.

Field notes

— from the log of a Pal keeper

680 night locations against 10 by day. Do not waste an afternoon on this one.

Put it on the Ranch and forgot about bone entirely for twenty hours of play.

Highest Attack in its bracket — it is not just a farm Pal if you need it to fight.
