Editing Pyre

{{Pets and farming sidebar}}
The '''Pyre''' is where you burn relics for a chance at something greater. It has two sides: the '''Altar''', where you risk a [[Pets|pet]] in a rite to reroll its [[Aura]], [[Skin]] or species or push it past its normal limits, and '''Coalescence''', where you fuse relics into rarer ones. It unlocks at {{GameValue|pyre.unlockRequirement}} (see [[Ranks]]), and it is only available while the feature is enabled by the game's operators.

== Relics ==

Relics are the items the Pyre burns. They come from [[Burn|burning]] BC, and each relic is rarer than the one before.

== Altar rites ==

The '''Altar''' has five rites. A rite is performed on the pet you sacrifice, not a separate target. If the pet survives, that same pet is changed. If it does not, it is lost forever.

=== Who can be offered ===

* You need at least one other pet to attempt a rite.
* The pet must be Tier 1 or higher for the Cinder, Ashen, Phoenix and Damnation rites.
* You cannot offer your [[Pets#Buddy|Buddy]], a pet on your buddy list, or a pet holding an item.

=== Survival chance ===

Every rite can fail. Survival starts at 50% and rises with the pet's Tier, to +30% at Tier 20 and a little more for Ascended pets. Each Tier is worth more than the one before it, and the step from Tier 19 to 20 is the largest. Even a maxed pet with a survival [[Rune|rune]] stops short of certainty.

'''Pity''' kicks in after a loss. Each pet lost to the fire adds pity points equal to its Tier. Your next attempt gains 5% survival chance for every pity point per Tier of the pet you offer. Losing a Tier 5 pet and then offering another Tier 5 pet gives +5%. Offering a Tier 20 pet after the same loss gives just over +1%, because the points are spread over a higher Tier. A loss at a high Tier carries a lot of weight, and a long enough run of losses can make a rite certain. Surviving a rite clears all your pity.

=== Runes ===

You can spend '''runes''' on a rite, and each one is gone for good. They cannot be reclaimed, not even by resetting your [[Prestige]] perks.

* A '''survival rune''' costs 1 [[Rune|rune]] and adds +10% survival chance. It works on any rite.
* A '''boost slot''' costs 1 rune each and triples the chance of a successful reroll (not survival), compounding: 1 slot is 3 times, 2 slots is 9 times. They only apply to the Cinder and Ashen rites.
* '''Focus runes''' cost 1 rune each and only apply to the Phoenix Rite.

== Cinder and Ashen rites ==

Surviving the rite is not the same as winning the reroll. The pet's current Aura (Cinder) or Skin (Ashen) is always cleared. If the reroll hits, the pet comes back with a new one. If it misses, the fire still leaves a mark: a missed Cinder Rite leaves a faint '''Smoldering Aura''', and a missed Ashen Rite chars the pet with the '''Burnt Skin'''. Both are bonus entries in the [[Menagerie]] for that species and can be rerolled again by repeating the rite or using a matching [[Specials|Special]].

The reroll odds start from the same base chances as in breeding: the [[Breeding#Auras|Aura chance]] for Cinder and the [[Breeding#Skins|Skin chances]] for Ashen. Boost slots multiply them.

== Phoenix Rite ==

If the pet survives, its species change is guaranteed and it never lands on the species it already had. [[Skin]], [[Aura]], Tier and level are unchanged. Up to 5 focus [[Rune|rune]]s make species you have not completed in the [[Menagerie]] more likely, up to 32 times more likely at 5 runes for a species you have nothing of.

If the new species has a different specialty than the [[Adventure]] the pet was working, its [[Prospecting]] progress and familiarity reset.

== Crown Rite ==

The Crown Rite needs a Tier 20 pet at level 100. Its survival chance is a flat 50%, plus 10% with a survival [[Rune|rune]], plus pity from your banked points divided by the pet's Tier. Boost slots and focus runes do not apply.

* On survival the pet becomes '''Ascended''' at Tier 21 and its level resets, like a [[Reincarnation|reincarnation]]. It works faster, holds 25% more energy and finds far richer gem bags when [[Prospecting|prospecting]].
* An Ascended pet trained back to level 100 can attempt the Crown Rite again at the higher cost. On survival it becomes '''Transcendent''' at Tier 22, the highest Tier a pet can reach. Its level resets again, it works twice as fast as an Ascended pet at its specialty, and its gem bags are richer still.
* If the rite fails at either step, the pet is destroyed.

== Damnation Rite ==

If the pet survives, it is cursed '''Ravenous''' and branded with the '''Damned Aura''', replacing whatever [[Aura]] it had. The Damned Aura is a bonus [[Menagerie]] entry for that species. Survival follows the same rules as the Cinder and Ashen rites. The rite can only be done once per pet.

A Ravenous pet:
* Never loses focus while [[Prospecting|prospecting]], never digs up coal, and brings back much richer gem bags.
* Uses BC from a '''furnace''' you keep stocked on the Pyre page. It burns 1 BC of fuel for every point of energy it spends, which works out to roughly 75 BC per item found. Fuel you deposit can never be withdrawn. If the furnace runs dry, the pet stalls as if it had run out of energy.
* Drains energy from your other pets. Every item it finds takes 5 energy from every other pet you own, down to a floor of zero.

The curse and the Damned Aura cannot be rerolled, changed or removed, not even by resetting your perks. The only way to end the drain is for that pet to die, either in the Damnation Rite itself or in a later rite. A Damned pet can still be offered to other rites, but the Cinder Rite refuses to touch its Aura.

== Coalescence ==

'''Coalescence''' fuses relics into rarer ones instead of burning them in a rite. Each step turns a batch of one relic into 1 of the next.

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Input
! Batch
! Result
|-
| Cinder Fragment
| 20
| 1 Ashen Relic
|-
| Ashen Relic
| 10
| 1 Phoenix Ash
|-
| Phoenix Ash
| 10
| 1 Charred Crown
|-
| Charred Crown
| 1,000
| 1 Damned Intent
|}

A normal batch has a 70% chance to succeed. You can overfeed up to 1.5 times the batch. Each extra 0.1 times adds 4%, up to 90% at the full 1.5 times. There is no way to make a fuse certain.

'''A failed fuse loses the whole batch, overfeed included, with no refund.''' When you fuse in bulk, each fuse rolls on its own, so some can succeed while others fail in the same go.

== Irreversible choices ==

Almost everything at the Pyre is permanent: a lost pet is gone, spent [[Rune|rune]]s are gone, a failed fuse is gone, furnace fuel cannot be withdrawn, and the Ravenous curse cannot be lifted. Treat the Pyre as a late goal. Keep an ordinary productive fleet, and do not offer a pet you are not ready to lose.

== How the Pyre connects to other features ==

* [[Burn]] is where relics come from, and the Pyre is the next step after it.
* [[Pets]] must be strong enough ([[Pet Leveling]]) before the high-Tier rites.
* The [[Menagerie]] gains Burnt, Smoldering and Damned entries, and Phoenix focus [[Rune|rune]]s aim at your gaps.
* Ravenous and Ascended pets change [[Prospecting]].
* [[Prestige]] runes pay for survival, boost and focus runes.
