• The types of Fynni Gems you can obtain vary depending on the type and the grade of a monster that possesses one.
• Fynni Gems have different grades ranging from Grade E (lowest) to Grade A (highest). This measures the strength of the Fynni spirit as well as how long it takes to Blossom in your Homestead.

• Fynni Pets: The byproduct of awakening a sleeping Fynni from a Fynni Gem using Fynni Blossoming! These are physical manifestations of a special fairy that took on the appearance of the monster you released it from. Fynni Pets seek to merge with other pets to empower then into awesome Fynn Pets. In doing so, the Fynni Pet is lost, however happily resides within the soul of the newly empowered Fynn Pet.
• While a Fynni Pet has many similar characteristics of a normal pet such as being summonable and even fighting, they are closer to catalysts than functioning pets. They cannot have names set, do not have an inventory, cannot be logged in with, cannot level up, do not age, cannot be sent on Pet Expeditions, and cannot rest at Pet Houses. They are happy little spirits that are content with merely existing!
• Ultimately, their desire is to be used during Fynn Syncing in order to help the pet grow into a powerful Fynn Pet.
• The Taming section of the Collection Journal will record the different types of Fynni Pets you've encountered.

• The main pet absorbs the cumulative level of all registered sub-pets, up to a maximum of 10,000 levels per each sub-pet.

• Once a pet becomes a Fynn Pet, it randomly receives one of five different elements. These are special additional effects that trigger when your pet performs regular attacks on enemies. It can only be ranked up through Fynn Syncing when the Fynn Pet absorbs other pets.
• The five elements are Uis, Sola, Tein, Gao, and Tala.

• The element can be changed once your Fynn Sync skill reaches Rank C or better by using Transformative Aster Perfume.
• Please be aware that the first pet that you ever perform Fynn Sync on will receive a random element, and you can only change it to one of your choice after reaching Rank C or higher on Fynn Syncing and using the proper perfume.
