Lifeblood Crystals and Auric Energy Cores
Lifeblood Crystal
Description: [RARE] A powerful crystal infused with the very essence of life itself. Lifeblood Crystals are used to craft Auric Energy cores, which in turn offer pets additional Powerup Slots (see below). These items are RARE and VALUABLE, making them a hot commodity in the world of Krafties, and giving Auric Energy Cores an even higher status.
Recipe: (requires Level 25 crafting)
- 10 Soul Gems
- 500 Bloodstones
- 100 Energy
NOTE: There will be additional ways to obtain Lifeblood Crystals in the future, other than crafting. They are intended to be a relatively rare and valuable reward, which is healthy for the game as a whole. In general, this level of rareness and desirability in items is something that benefits the Krafties economy for all players, and gives the dev a handy tool in providing rewarding incentives for active play during events (as demonstrated in our current ‘Cheer Rush’ event). As always, balance will be monitored, but please understand that these are NOT intended to be common by any means.
Auric Energy Core
Description: [ULTRA RARE] (Requires 15,000 total Victory Points to activate) Pulsating with concentrated energy, fusing this core with your active pet adds one additional, permanent powerup slot able to subsequently be filled with an invaluable powerup item. (MAX 5 SLOTS)
Recipe: (requires Level 25 crafting)
- 10 Lifeblood Crystals
- 50 Iron Ore
- 50 Steel Ore
- 50 Onyx Ore
- 50 Gold Ore
- 500 Coal
- 500 Energy
NOTE: When removing victory points, cores dynamically assess the distribution of Victory Points of your pet. The stat which holds the highest number will always be deducted from first until it is no longer the highest, then other stats will be iteratively deducted from in an attempt to leave pets with relatively even distributions.
More Cheer Credit Goodness!
Increased Rate of Credit Acquisition
After monitoring the rate players collected credits over the first few days of this event, it was clear that some adjustments were needed. Since the Cheer Rush event began, Krafties has massively increased the Attuned Wild spawn rates, as well as modified how many Cheer Credits are given when creatures are defeated. Currently, instead of giving one per defeat, wild creatures have been tweaked to reward anywhere from 1-3 Credits when dropping their loot items for players!
Numbers are flying by as this information is monitored and evaluated. Further tweaks and enhancements are always possible as this new mechanic is explored and fleshed out in a never-ending quest to create things that brings joy to the Krafties community!
Double Credits Flash Event
In-line with the above, a new type of Flash Event type has been added to the shopping section of the app. Purchasing this event kicks off a game-wide boost for ALL Krafties players for a one hour duration, where they will gain Cheer Credits twice as quickly. Everyone is blasted with a big banner letting them know you’ve started the event, so be a holiday hero today!
Easy Cheer Credit HUD Menu
Krafties has added a simple new HUD menu that should make the Cheer Credit process a bit simpler/clearer. From this new section of your HUD, you can view your active pet’s credit bank and easily teleport directly to a Credit Terminal to claim your credits when your bank is filled!
New Goodies Offered At Krafties Kurios In Exchange for Cheer Credits!
To those players not interested in saving up for Gingerbread Rexie skins, this is for you! Two of our newest items have made their way over to the Cheer Credit swap shop: Lifeblood Crystals and Eggcelerators.
Gingerbread Spells Redesign And Rework
As one last holiday treat to our players, Gingerbread type creatures have been slightly reworked! Gingerbread type spells have had some tweaks to bring their visual effects up to par with our more modern elemental visual effects, and two additional high level mental spells have been added to their kit!
As they were one of the first Limited Edition types released, the Gingerbread kit felt a bit lacking compared to some of the others that have been introduced to Krafties recently. These changes should bring the gingerbread type to be competitive gameplay-wise with some of the newer limited edition creatures, and help out players grinding for Cheer Credits this year!
Additional Spells Added:
- Preheat – Slowly raises intellect over time, culminating in a fiery crescendo
- Overbake – Gives a massive strength buff to the creature, at the cost of other stats and health
AND, DON’T FORGET!

Gingerbread Rexie Kits
Fresh out of the oven, Limited Edition Gingerbread Rexies are ever so cute, if maybe a bit… plain. Luckily, Krafties Kurios has stocked up on a collection of specialty items just for the occasion!
Gingerbread Rexie Kits are available in three styles: Simple, Classic, and Fossil. After grabbing a kit, using it with a Gingerbread Rexie active will change the coat of your active pet, allowing you to redecorate your new cookie friends! Decoration Kits are all NON-TRANSFERRABLE, meaning that players will have to decorate their Gingerbread Rexies themselves during the holiday season!
Krafties Kurios is offering these kits in exchange for L$, KraftieCoins, and… Cheer Credits?
Read on to find out more about these fun new credits that can be earned during this holiday event!
Seasonal ‘Cheer Rush’ Week-Long Event!
A new “Event Credit” system, designed to promote active play during special events and seasons, is firing up now for the first time!
During this holiday event, Cheer Credits are earned by defeating the following creatures:
- Attuned Ice wild creatures
- Attuned Lightning wild creatures
- Attuned Wind wild creatures
- Attuned Winter wild creatures
- Wild Snow PlushRexies
- Wild Blizzkins
Additionally, all Gingerbread creatures have been granted an added perk throughout the event: Gingerbread type creatures have a small chance to find Cheer Credits when defeating ANY type of wild creature, along with a boosted capacity for holding credits!
All existing Gingerbread creatures have this perk as well, meaning that those who have trained up their Gingerbread pets from previous holiday celebrations should have a nice head start in collecting Cheer Credits!
Credits are awarded to your active bonded pet when obtained from defeating wild creatures, which each have a small individual bank available to store credits while battling (based on the pet’s Overall Level). When your pet’s credit capacity has been filled, handlers can head to one of the Credit Terminals at Krafties Island, inside of the main Sanctuary, to redeem their creature balances and convert the credits to items in their player accounts. Simply touch a terminal to redeem all credits your active creature is holding. When you’ve collected enough, take a trip to Krafties Kurios to spend your hard earned points!
For this event, items available to spend credits on are Gingerbread Rexie Kits, which change the coat of your Gingerbread Rexies to fancy new varieties!
This is the first time we’ve run an event of this type, so numbers will be monitored closely and Cheer Credit distribution rates may be tweaked in order to ensure a fair rate of progress throughout the event.
NOTE: The decision to make both Cheer Credits and Gingerbread Rexie Kits non-transferrable between players is an intentional choice, aimed at encouraging Krafties Handlers to actively participate in this holiday event with a clearly defined goal and reward in place for doing so. Still, we understand that unruly schedules can always become an issue with time-bound events. With this in mind, Gingerbread Rexie Kits are also offered for your hard earned L$ or piles of KraftieCoins, which players have the option to spend in place of Event Credits. This is a fist stab at a system of this nature, so fingers are crossed that a fair balance has been struck!
