Later today, we're deploying a change that greatly increased the rate that you encounter the four Legendary Beasts that grant access to the Spirit Beast fights.



Bestiary has been running for two weeks so far, and we have kept a close eye on data regarding how many people are accessing the end-game content in the league. We initially avoided increasing the spawn rate of these beasts until we had deployed Beast Trading, as there were certainly economic implications of much easier economic access to these beasts.



Now that we have Beast Trading data for a few days, we're comfortable with increasing how often you encounter these beasts. You'll now come across a Beast that grants access to one of the four Spirit Boss fights approximately once per 50 maps.



We also wanted to note (as it's not widely known) that the Beasts that grant access to Spirit Beasts start appearing in Tier 5, 7, 10 and 13 maps respectively. This certainly affects how many are spawned, and while we're not changing it today, it's something we're keeping an eye on.



The team have also been working on increasing the difficulty and reward of the Beasts that spawn once per area (the "yellow" ones), so that fights are more challenging. This goes alongside the improvements to their recipes we made recently, though the reward part was deployed first. They're also working on new recipes that use these mods for other rewards.
