Einhar's Menagerie and Bestiary

[Skye-Fire]

How do I catch creatures to put in this thing?? I got the quest, finished it, and.... now what? All of the forums I've seem are talking about nets that Einhar is supposed to sell, but those seem outdated as he's only selling the orb that let's you trade creatures. I've found lists of the creatures that you -can- capture but not really where or how to do that. Can someone help me? I'd like to "catch 'em all".

Nets were for the bestiary league. They're not in game anymore. Now when you kill a beast it goes in the menagerie. Then you just use the altar in the menagerie to sacrifice the beasts.

From now on, Einhar has a chance to spawn every time your character enters a new area (not in side areas though). Each time he does, there will be 4-6 more beasts to catch. You catch them by basically killing them, only that they don't die, they get auto-captured by Einhar.

The nets were a mechanic in the Bestiary league, but it wasn't popular with players. So when Einhar was added to the base game, GGG changed the mechanic to practically "kill the beast" instead of "reduce the beast's life and then throw the net in time".

This means that beastcrafting isn't very plannable at the moment - you have to wait until Einhar spawns in an area, and you have no control over which beasts spawn and get captured. So if you're looking for a specific beastcrafting recipe, you'd have to farm an area where the respective beasts appear, and then hope that Einhar spawns. Once you've reached maps, you'll have at least one map per day where Einhar is guaranteed to spawn, so at least then you can fill your menagerie somewhat reliably, if slowly.

As soon as you get to the Atlas, a map where he resides gets marked on the Atlas. That adds a guaranteed way to find Einhar in addition to possible random spawn in each map you enter. Then there are Einhar scarabs that drop from Legion encounters sometimes and from the syndicate. You can add the special Einhar scarabs to your map device with whatever map you like and it will guarantee you an Einhar spawn. You can also trade the scarabs which allows you to basically run a session of Einhar encounters in each map you play.
