Beast Index

  Overview

  

  
• Beast Core Potency: The level of the Goddess's blessing confirmed by other hunters. This changes over time but serves as a quick guide to help hunters find beasts fitting their level.


  


  
• Low: Best results for the first Cycle of that tier.


  
• Mid: Best results for Second Cycle of that tier.


  
• High: Best results for Third Cycle of that tier


  
• End: Best results for Fourth Cycle of that tier to next tier.


  
• Notes: You can eat meat or a core of a higher tier but this can slow down the process unless you eat both a core and meat as the body of a beast of higher potency will be harder for a body to process without the extra boost. This can still be dangerous if more than one Tier of potency is skipped.


  


  
• Estimated Age: Cues to figure out the beast's age. The ones shown here are recorded by Axel’s index.
