Aika Pran Guide

The perils of your long journey require the assistance of a devoted partner.
This companion should act not only as a reliable sidekick in battle, but also as a close friend.

The Pran fits both descriptions with ease as she casts helpful spells on you and grows to trust you over many interactions.

She is your fairy familiar!



Acquiring Your Pran

When your character reaches level 7 a quest becomes available to you at the Flour Mill.
Captain Cromwell has recognized your progress and directs you to the Pran Station in the Commercial District of Regenshin.
There, you're given another quest to prove your worth, where you need to kill Breeding Boars, Moguns and Kubaris.

After collecting the items from these mobs, the Pran Station NPC will give you the option of what affinity Pran you'd like to choose.
Pick carefully, as this will be your first companion in the game [types are outlined in the Skills section].

To complete this quest, you need to obtain essences from mobs.
-5x of the essence for the affinity you want
-2x of each of the other essences

Once you turn this quest in, you get to name and meet your Pran companion!

There are three main Element Attributes of Pran: Fire, Water and Wind. Different elements will give your pran different skills.Generally speaking:

Fire Pran will improve your attack,max HP
Water Pran will improve your defense, max MP
Wind Pran will improve your HP%MP recover speed and also decrease your cost of skill spelling.

Please note that it's just general conclusion. You could find at least 7 skills for your Pran.

Then How to choose the element of your Pran? Here is my advice:

Warrior: fire/water(1st choice/2nd choice)
Paladin: water/fire
Rifleman:fire/wind
Dual Gunner: fire/wind
Warlock: wind/fire
Cleric: water/wind

Tips:
1. The personality of your pran doesn't affect the skill
2. Pay attention to answer the Pran questions, which will increase the intimacy. (We got success rates problem when using Pran skill. High intimacy will improve the success rates.)

Please be aware that your Pran will grow hungry. You can get your pran food at the Pran store or any other merchant store out there. Please be reminded if you were to vend overnight, you can put your pran in the pran waiting station so that you do not have to spend money on the pran food ;)



Do not stave your Pran.
When the Hunger reaches a certain number, Pran will start showing
different action to notify you. When Pran can't stand the hunger
any longer, it will return to the Pran's nurture centre.

When they're in hunger:
- HP and MP no longer regen
- Skills would be unusable
- Returning to nurture centre

Please treat your Pran well and make sure that the Devotion level is high. The higher the devotion % is, the higher chance your Pran will not refuse your request when you want them to cast their skill buff

For those of you who are set on needing a certain personality, here is a table of the questions, and the answers, along with which personality they give points to.

Aika Pran Chat scoring

Keep in mind, from when you buy your pran, up to when it is a teenager, its personality is determined in this block. For each type of personality, there is a scale from 1 to 255. The highest once the pran becomes a teenager is the personality the pran will keep.

It doesn't matter which personality your pran has when it comes to being buffed etc, that all depends on your devotion.

Limitations

Pran are unique creatures raised by their masters, and as such an account is limited to only two pran for its three characters.
Each Pran also unique, with its own name just like the players that own it - meaning no two Pran are exactly alike! As long as you got your second Pran (which of your characters got it, is not relevant), automatically any Pran acquisition quest you have on any of your characters will be removed, and you cannot get any other Pran. But you can use the Pran Station to share them between all of your characters. It means if you create a new level 1 character, he/she can immediately go to Pran station and pick one of your stored Pran.



Do they grow up?
Yes, pran is designed to grow at different levels
Fairy -> Adolescent -> Teenager -> Adult
Adult is currently not opened
and Evolve levels are : Lv5 and Lv20 currently

Are there other pran personality? I mean only cute?
There are six different types of prans, different types of pran can effect pran's buff/skill beneficial values.
These types are : Cute(default), Intelligent, Sexy, Hyper, Corrupt, and Valiant
Different personality also effect their character voice and actions.



How do we get the personality we want?
Well, this is what this thread is about. But you can only alter the personality during Adolescent stage.
Each personality has a value of 0 to 255, and cute starts at 100.
Prans only change personality type once they are evolved into Teenager
(if one of the personality reaches 255 first/the highest one counts)
Once
pran evolves into teenager, only the main one will take effect
immediately, other personalities will have their values decreased by 30%

Is there anything about pran that we should know?
Yes,
when a pran is still at Adolescent stage, you can feed her anything you
want. But once you feed her too nutritiously at Teenage stage...they
will fatten
you don't want a tiny meat ball running with you do you? ;)

What food is the best for pran?
Pumpking Pie! it gives 8% food and only cost 150+tax!
