Familiar Guide: Compare Travel Abilities, Sources, and Collection Goals

The current roster contains 29 Familiars, and each one carries the same core fields: category, movement speed, stamina level, and native abilities. The travel kit decides where the Familiar helps you go, and the category groups it into a family such as insect, squirrel, cat, bird, sky wolf, direwolf, gryphon, or dragon. The Familiar database /familiars shows every field, and the Orbis map /map shows what the terrain actually asks for, so the comparison starts from the route rather than the looks.

A Familiar with high movement speed covers ground faster, and the stamina level decides how long it keeps going before you need to recover. The native abilities add the special movement or utility that changes which places are reachable. When a route is blocked, the missing piece is usually a specific ability or stamina level, and the database makes the gap visible.

The collection goal should come from the route, and the route comes from the map. If the current progression needs fast travel across a region, prioritize a Familiar with high speed; if it needs a special ability to reach a viewpoint or a chest, prioritize the ability. The Familiar database /familiars lets you sort by category, speed, and ability, and the Adventure Book /adventure-book lists the Familiar entries you still need, so collection and travel goals can be merged into one plan.

Chasing every Familiar at once is the common trap. The roster's sources are varied, and some entries are tied to events or specific content, so a collection checklist should be ordered by what the current route actually uses. A Familiar that unlocks a viewpoint section is worth more this week than a cosmetic favorite that sits unused.

Every Familiar records how it is obtained, and the current catalog's sources include content rewards and shop entries. Before spending currency or event resources, verify the source and the cost in the Familiar database /familiars, and compare the same source against the item or event materials in the item database /items. Community reports about free or time-limited Familiars should be double-checked against the current catalog, because event windows change and a claim about a reward that ended can cost a purchase.

The Adventure Book's Familiar section counts the Familiars you have registered, so the collection progress is visible there as well. The Adventure Book /adventure-book shows which entries are missing and what each one requires, turning "how many Familiars do I have" into a checkable list.

Familiars share the budget with everything else: acquiring and leveling them costs materials that the active trio also needs. Treat a Familiar acquisition as a milestone with a countable cost, and compare it against the team upgrades in the material planner /material-planner. A travel Familiar that shortens every future route pays for itself; a collection-only Familiar is a completionist purchase and should be budgeted as such.

The same logic applies to upgrades. Raising a Familiar's level or improving its kit spends shared materials, so upgrade the Familiar the current route needs, and leave the rest at acquisition state. The Familiar database /familiars shows what each upgrade changes, which keeps the decision fact-based.

The route changes as story progress opens new regions and movement options, and the Familiar that was perfect for the first region can be wrong for the next. Re-run the travel question after each region unlock: what does the new terrain need, and which Familiar in the current roster provides it. The Orbis map /map shows the new regions, the Familiar database /familiars shows the travel kits, and the shows the travel kits, and the Adventure Book /adventure-book shows the completion gaps, so the next collection target has a reason instead of a rumor.

Switching Familiars by route is a habit worth building, because one Familiar rarely covers a whole play session. Keep the travel kit that crosses open ground in the roster, the kit with the special ability for the region's viewpoints, and the fast kit for material routes, and swap by the route on the Orbis map /map rather than by habit. The Familiar database /familiars sorts by speed, category, and ability, which makes the swap a two-click decision instead of a roster review.
