YOUR CURRENT SKILLS ARE FERAL LINK (PASSIVE), BEAST TONGUE (PASSIVE), AND SCAVENGER’S AID (ACTIVE). YOU CURRENTLY HAVE ONE TIER UPGRADE AVAILABLE.
I take a deep breath and hover my hand over the “Open Upgrade Requirements,” icon and prepare myself.
UPGRADE AVAILABLE FOR TIER TWO:PREDATOR’S PACT
A drop of blood and loyalty will sharpen fangs. The Beast Bound will learn that blood is the leash. Wolves, hawks, serpents, the Beast Bound can drink from their veins and the creatures will fight. Be aware that too much feeding can leave the Beast Bound weakened. Some claim the Beast Bound dream through their predator’s eyes, stalking prey while their body lies still.
COST TO UPGRADE: 1000XP, 5 Shards, 50 Harrow Coins, 5 animal byproducts
WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEVEL UP?
I stare at the description and don’t find any glaring issue with it. There is only the one warning, that using whatever my new skills are can be dangerous and make me weak, but that would be the case for any Tier upgrade. Overuse is dangerous no matter which Glitch you are, especially when you’re a lower Tier.
I hesitate for a few long seconds, reread the description, and then look through my inventory. I have the Shards and the Harrow Coins, but I have to doublecheck I have the animal byproducts. As I flip through the inventory, I find the three macaw feathers I still have, an orca tooth from the Frostbit Sea, and the beetle chiton from the Leafcutter Empire. I hesitate, wondering if I should keep the beetle chiton and use something else, but then I remember we have to go back through the Verdant Nexus to fight the Major Bosses anyways.
I flip back to the upgrade screen, take a deep breath, and hit, “UPGRADE.”
YOU ARE NOW A TIER TWO BEAST BOUND:PREDATOR’S PACT. YOU ARE NOW WASTREL LEVEL, PEAK.
