sanctuaries suck

[Viker сос шок 18+]

first of all it's weird how №2 and №3 sanctuaries are the same level essentialy not having a mid game sanctury.
Secondly, the area where the pals can actually spawn is too small. I am currrently level 40 and I have not seen a grizzbolt even once. I was resetting the sanctuary 10 times in a row and all i see are penkings, azurobes and eikhdeers. I am not against the idea of saancruaries having pals you cant find anywhere else except breeding but it is poorly executed since 2\3 of the sanctuary space is dedicated to just looking cool as a structure

Honestly I hope that by full release they add a bit more personality to the sanctuaries- as they are now not only do they all look the same but they also look more like prison-desert-wastelands than "sanctuaries". Would it hurt to have some leaves on the trees?
Unless, of course, that's just another example of the game's tongue-in-cheek humor, which is certainly a possibility.

Get a flying pal (Vanwyrm or Beakon are great) and do a full loop of the two levels of the actual 'land' area of the sanctuary. that will respawn all the pals with every loop which makes things a lot easier to find.

Stay in the air so you don't annoy the PDIF.

That is what I do. I fly around both levels, check them thoroughly, fly away to reset the spawn, come back, same story

Pretty sure Grizzbolts just have a lower chance to spawn. I’ve only run into a few myself.

In my experience, the first sanctuary is dominated by Eikthyrdeer Terra, Penkings, and Azurobes. These ones are the common spawns.

Uncommon spawns would be Elphidran, Petallia, and Vaelet.

Finally, Grizzbolt as the rare spawn.

I've got over 1,000 hours in, and I've probably only seen 5 or 6 of them total. Granted, I don't spend a ton of time there, but then again, I kind of have. I used to run there often to get coal and just open the chests and see what might spawn.

I was under the impression that the sanctuary's look the way they do as a form of environmental storytelling. They are supposed to be vibrant reserves and apparently were such when Lily first found them, but when you can visit them, they are largely dead other than having pretty flowers there. I think the implication is the PIDF takes money from the Free Pal Alliance to guard the area, but instead of actually doing anything to maintain it, they basically just turned the region into an area to grow flowers they use to make drugs in order to basically double dip in terms of profit given that the Free Pal Alliance isn't exactly checking in on the sanctuary's anyway. Given one of the pals is described as actively causing plants to grow, the PIDF's flower growing operation would have to be actively killing the fertility of the region.

Can anyone confirm this?. I see Elphidran, Grizzbolt, and Vaelet spawning about at the same frequency, with Petallia spawns just about matching the common spawns. I think people just kind of notice Elphidran and Vaelet more than Grizzbolt because they are rarely trying to catch them given that they have guaranteed alpha spawns. That and there's only like... what, 8-12 electric pals in the entire game, making Grizzbolt even more sought after. Especially since he has the fourth lowest level range of wild electric pals.

In sanctuary number 3 I think it's Faleris, Lyleen and Shadowbeak who are kind of rare. Dunno about sanctuary 2 since it's my least visited santuary.

They are too small, I'd rework them if I were the developers. They should rework the wanted system as well, it's poorly designed not to mention a death sentence because it simply doesn't stop until you die. It's all kinda weird and could use some love.

I have no idea how exactly it works but I've gotten it to time out a few times.

What seems to cause it to time out is if you kill every PIDF around you (have to use pals to do it otherwise they spawn back stronger), or if you somehow evade them in a way that doesn't cause them to just spawn again on top of you.

But yeah, the entire way the PIDF is handled probably needs some reworking. Even when you evade them it feels like you kind of worked around a buggy mechanic to do it rather than due to some intended way to drop your wanted level.

[Semirotta]

Similarly to OP's mother. *ba dum tss*
No but really, they serve their purpose as a new location for Pals which are nowhere else to be found, which I like. I just wish there were a little more into the islands.

I am also under the impression that Grizzbolts are a rare spawn. It's hust annoying to constantly have to reset the sanctuary for chance to find what you are looking for. I imagine it's the same story with other sanctuaries

[Drakon]

My biggest problem in sanctuary was Shadowbeak. They are rare and appear only at dusk, There's like 1 minute per in game day to find one.

[Xaelon]

A special area filled with rare pals and protected by powerful enemies sounds cool except it's badly executed.

I would have liked them to work like a large enemy camp. Kill the PIDF boss, get free access to the sanctuary. Without killing the boss, the sanctuary behaves as normal.

NPC awareness in general needs work. Either NPCs have no idea where you are or they know exactly where you are. If you could kill the Sanctuary guards without instantly becoming wanted the current version of the area would be less annoying to deal with.

That's really what I want though. I want a way to turn off the sanctuary guards for some amount of time. When you can literally just fly away whenever you want the guards are just annoying. Please give me a way to get rid of them or turn them off.

What sucks the most are the stupid PDIF.
It just encourages me to get to Assault 50x and defeat the PDIF government/army.

I guess the PDIF there just does something with the lore.

They are easy to deal with. They even sleep at night which makes it even easier

But they are still annoying anyways. You can accidentally hit them with your pal and cause a chain reaction; Trespassing 1x

Oh and also, another thing i want to point out is that,
They SLEEP on their job and just let anyone just come. How aren't they fired?
