Where to farm Cogni monsters
Cogni covers intelligent species such as Kailin, Lupyllini and Kuru. These are the Cogni pet species on our map for the two launch zones, counted by spawn points. Farm the dense ones to level the family, and the same kills drop blue crystals once the family is maxed.
| Zone | Species | Spawn points | Most common (points) | Busiest areas |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Verteron | 31 | 48 | Modified Lupyllini (4), Eternal Kerubar (4), Tolbas Kuru Worker (3), Hill Zaif (3) | Aullaeu Village Sky Island, Drana Transport Hub |
| Altgard | 25 | 59 | Kailin (7), Decomposed Lupyllini (7), Modified Lupyllini (6), Mumu Warrior (4) | Remote Island, Battlescar Mound Clifftop |
How to get Cogni crystals, step by step
- Tame Cogni pets with our Cogni pet map and feed them Pet Souls to raise the family's Insight level.
- Claim every pet collection milestone: each one pays 100 bound wildcard crystals (about 1,700 in total).
- Once Cogni is maxed, keep farming Cogni monsters; they're reported to drop blue crystals.
- Top up with the Festival Trade Shop and Substance Morph each week; our farming guide has the caps.
- Spend the crystals on Genus Insight only after the board has stopped gaining slots.
Should you spend wildcards on Cogni?
Only if Cogni is the family your build needs most. Wildcards are the only way to feed the Special board, which has no field monster drops, so keep a stack for it. For Cogni you have a farmable route, so spend blue crystals first and wildcards second.
The family-drop rule and the lock costs come from one or two English guides and may change with patches. Check the item tooltip in game before you plan around them.
Other colors: Fera (red), Natura (green), Varian (yellow), Special (light blue) and the bound rainbow wildcard.
