Familiars (Items)

Familiars (Items) lists 27 items from Alshanex’s Familiars: the shards that create familiars and the trinkets that strengthen them.

Usage#

Familiars are small spellcasting companions from Alshanex’s Familiars. They are tamed and cast their class’s spells, such as the Frostling’s Ice Chamber or the Bard’s Sound spells.

• Shards create familiars: using a shard summons a new familiar of its class. Six shards come from rituals at a Ritual Core on Origin Island, an ancient island that Memory Fragments lead to. A Familiar fed a Crystal Berry (dug up by a Sniffer) gives a Memory Fragment.

  • Each ritual puts a Bottled Familiar Soul (a familiar’s soul caught in a bottle) in the center, with four items around it. One of the four is always Arcane Essence:

    Shard	Other ritual items
    Archmage	Legendary Ink, Arcane Rune, Magic Cloth
    Druid	Greater Oakskin Elixir, Nature Rune, Spore Blossom (kept)
    Frostling	Blue Ice, Ice Rune, Frozen Bone
    Hunter	Hogskin, Crossbow, Rabbit’s Foot
    Lightning Mage	Bottled Lightning, Lightning Rune, Lightning Rod
    Summoner	Ruined Book, Eldritch Manuscript, Sculk Catalyst

  • The Bard, Cleric, Dragoon, Illusionist, Necromancer, Plague Doctor and Scorcher shards have no ritual, recipe or loot table in Soulrend.

  • A Poison Vial turns a Druid Familiar into a Plague Doctor Familiar.

• Familiar trinkets go in the Familiar Trinket curio slot. Each makes one class of the wearer’s familiars cast spells at a higher level, and adds that school’s resistance and spell power (the Necromancer’s adds Summon Damage).
  • Most come from loot (the Bard trinket has no source). The Necromancer trinket also has a Soulrend recipe: a skeleton skull and a zombie head with blessed gold ingots around a mithril ingot.
• Pandora's Box summons or dismisses several familiars at once.
• Defeating the Dead King lets the player revive familiars when they die.
