Dara\'s Darlings




After several weeks of preparation and minion readying, Dara’s Darlings is now open in Shengui Guo’s floating market! Dara is very particular about his minions, and is much happier to part with them if they really bond to a potential new owner. Visit his boat today to see which minions he has for adoption.

Dara won’t always have the same minions in stock, and they’re likely to change each day as he doesn’t like to stress them out by keeping them all in the boat at once for days on end! So make sure to keep checking back each day to see which minions he’s brought with him, or continue bonding with minions that you’ve already met!

Note: Bonding with a minion will make it cheaper in price, as Dara is happier to see his minions go with somebody who has bonded with them. You will need to check back every day until you have bonded fully with the minion or it will forget you!

How do you people know, it's 50k for a minion? I don't see prices and wasn't told one, when bonding!?

You don’t necessarily have to bond with all the minions to be able to buy them! You still choose one to bond with, and if it’s not one of the special ones Dara mentions, then you can buy it for 50k or bond with it over a few days to get a lower price. :)

I was able to take home a Kaefox and a Lunar Rabbit for 50k but the Xingyun demands some more bonding. Interesting. :D

Quick question... should I be able to bond with another familiar in the same day after I bought one because apparently I can? Is that how it's supposed to work?

"You are bonding with a minion! Xingyun This minion still looks afraid of you. Come back in about 24 hours to bond with it more."

thank you so much!!!! There are multiple amazing references/mythological creatures that fit perfectly with the themes I've been working towards on my pets (and to this point had no actual reference point on the site).

I can't wait to grab some of these!

I kinda feel like an achievement should be attached to fully bonding to a minion. IDK this is just too cool :)

This is super cool! Kind of a hard way to get minions, but I feel like it's more rewarding, then.

So what is the price - going to be? Doesn't give any info now. I don't want to end up bonded but with an unreasonable price?!?

I love the concept but 50K is really affordable, now if it was 5 mil or 50 mil I would put more effort into bonding with the minion I want.

I'm so glad there is no dislike button in the comment section ❤

I've bonded with the Lunar Rabbit and now have "You are bonding with a minion! You can take this minion home today for 50,000 sP. Or you can come back in about 24 hours to bond with it more."

Didn't know after 1 time of bonding I could buy it already lol Wasn't sure if I should buy or not, but I did. What a cutie <3

This is such a neat concept -- I'm psyched! I can't wait to be torn between bonding with ALL the minions :D

Got it, thank you for explaining! But if you bond with another before the first one is fully bonded (lol), you lose all progress, right?

The minion you are bonding with won't move from the top! For example, I'm bonding with Lunar Rabbit right now. Tomorrow, there will be three new minions but my Lunar Rabbit will be at the top still for me to bond with more. :) That way in say two days, I like another minion more I can replace the Lunar Rabbit if I want to!

I absolutely love the NPC's design. You never fail to impress me with your inclusive designs and representations of other races. Looking forward to this feature when I spot the perfect minion!!
