So, we just have Cursed Effigy & Bandit for Fireside challengers, right? Do we ever have Luminaire challengers?

Hey all! How is everyone? :)

Unstable Snow Fairy, I believe, Frystgaard maybe? There are a couple.

Hi! How is the battling going?

It's going! Mainly focused on training currently since I can't even make it through like 5-10 Battle Quests w/ my Tier 1 LOL but, I'm making steady progress so I will not complain. :)

Also was gifted a Tier 3 pet by a user yesterday, so I got a full weapon set bought for it. Just waiting out the 30 days to battle with it. :) I am sure my main pet will be nearing Tier 3 within the month as well!

Yeah, as long as you're diligent the first few tiers go by pretty quickly. I had a pet I wanted to keep as a high T1 but accidentally bumped her over into T2 near the end of October (and forgot I could leech a stat or two away). Thanks to autotraining she's already half-way through T3.

Smuggler's Dice looks sweet, but dang it, get that pet a minion!

LOL! Is there a good source to browse all the minions? I want to buy a few but have no clue where to look or what their names are hahaha

And yea, I'm set to auto train right now with my main pet, so things are moving as quickly as they can for now. :)

ALL the minions?!?! :O You don't ask for the easy things, do you. :D My minion gallery is currently sitting at 2373 and that's nowhere near all of them... https://www.subetalodge.org/ is a great resource, but unfortunately I don't know of any way to narrow a search to just minions. Often it's just a matter of finding ones you like, but I think there are forum topics somewhere that help you if you're trying to match a minion to a pet.

Smuggler's Dice has a minion!

Minion the Dandybunny

Hahahaha you didn't have to do that but thank you!!

I had no clue there were SO MANY either. Holy crap. O_O I should've known to just check on SL too -_- lol rookie mistake

Cool! Hard to find info on what actually comes back every (or most) years. XD I've been a member for 10 years but uh I think I was active for one Fireside and one Luminaire... This time of year is usually busy for me. I hope I can be around for the next two holidays!

Subetalodge has the Minionizer which is a cool way to narrow it down and preview minions with you pet! Additionally, if you go to the top navigation bar and hover over Lists > All Item List, there are many options to customize a search. The first drop down is Item Type, so if you choose Minions, it will display only those. You can sort by price, which ones are newest. etc. :)

No worries! You're going to get so many minions from random events, battle loot, questing, Melody gifts (that's coming next month), and other sources that you'll have more options than you'll ever need unless you find some you like enough that you want to spend sP to get them.

But yeah, you'll want to keep minions on your main battle pets so they're always happy enough to battle, but it may be worth keeping a pet without one if you start doing Major Drills quests and you don't want to skip. One of the quests Drills can give you is to have a pet play with a certain item, and unfortunately pets won't play with toys if they are at full happiness. I don't do Drills' quests enough to worry about them (though you'll want to do enough to unlock him as a challenger), but it's something to keep in mind.

Ahhh great! Thank you. Good to know!

I had no clue about that w/ Major Drills... I've been passing on his quests anyway lol most of them are just annoying :P Or the one's I've taken time to do have been anyway... lol I've probably sold or fragmented all the ones I received as quest prizes, having no clue they were minions LOL

I'm not even sure about them! Though Frystgaard is actually a CS challenger now that I think about it. And I think Unstable Snow Fairy may have been a Throwback one... Dang it, there may not be a regular Luminaire challenger. I guess we'll find out next month, and I really hope now I can take on the Fairy in BQs that she makes an appearance.

There's no rush on unlocking Drills as you're a few tiers from being able to take him on. I generally just do the easier ones myself.

Just sent you a minion that you might like for smuggler

Unstable Snow Fairy I don't think comes around during Lumi, she was a plot challenger once. And then a Throwback Thursday one once too. The other is a cash shop challenger. Just letting you know. :)

Yeah only 2 challengers for Fireside unless they bring back Cranky Carrot. I don't think we have any Lumi challengers unless the Phantom becomes one.

I was close...lol. 35k....I still got a ways to go

Yeah really. I missed that plot... kinda cool how they did one though for Lumi.

hahahaah it's perfect! :P

Thanks for the info y'all. I would like to try and beat USF too! :) Well I can whoop her base form for BQs, but I bet she gets tough.

Just trying to figure out a new challenger goal.. I think maybe Prodigy is next on my list to beat. But y'know, still saving for that 'Tasha. Planning to have it before the end of the month though. :)

And then you can start saving for a second one for your wardrobe. :D
