[PoE 3.25] Beast Crafting is BUGGED & BROKEN | Six Years Later, The Bestiary is STILL Unclear

Belton

The player has always believed that the Beast cap was 1,000, but after capturing rare beasts, they noticed exceeding that number.

A friend helped calculate the total, which came out to 1,013, raising questions about the actual Beast cap.

The player is puzzled by the discrepancy and is seeking clarification on the game's Beast cap.

The message about the Menagerie being full caused frustration while adding rare beasts, leading to a halt in their addition.

Rare beasts are identified by their yellow color and outline, while red beasts have 3D art and two lines of red text.

Red beasts have consistent names for crafting, whereas rare beasts have constantly changing names.

The Impact of Beast Capturing in the Game

The player noticed they had captured over 1100 beasts, leading to the removal of some due to exceeding the cap.

A prominent Reddit post from two years ago highlighted the issue, causing an uproar and prompting the game developers to make updates to The Menagerie.

Despite the changes, the beast capturing system still has usability issues, with many players struggling to understand the differences between rare and red beasts.

The Beast cap in Minag R is set at 1000, but the player has 113 beasts, leading to confusion about the cap's enforcement.

Rare beasts are being removed to make space for new ones, but it's unclear why 113 is the tipping point.

The strong emphasis on Beast crafting and the recent additions of Harvest beasts and black Morgan crafts have made the system more complex and powerful.

The speaker expresses frustration with the lack of basic functionality in certain systems.

They mention a discussion with a friend, Free-for-all, who also agrees with their viewpoint.

The speaker invites others to share insights or clarity on the issue and wraps up the video with a positive note.
