Catchers & CollectingThe quiet corpse hunt: the only source of the stones that power the forge.
Catchers are the game’s upgrade-material hunt. They’re big, harmless creatures that roam every field zone; you spot one, bring it down, then collect its corpse with a special tool to harvest Subsidiary Stones. Those stones are what feed Torren’s Forge, so if you want to upgrade gear, this is the loop.
The four Catchers
Each kind yields its own stone. All four are Level 20 with 3,000 HP; sturdy, but they never fight back. Anyone can hunt them (they’re exempt from the level-gap rule).
| Catcher | Stone | Level | HP | Look |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mine Catcher | Mineral | 20 | 3,000 | Granite ore-crab |
| Erons Catcher | Erons | 20 | 3,000 | Iron furnace golem |
| Krasec Catcher | Krasec | 20 | 3,000 | Mossy creeper |
| Guru Catcher | Guru | 20 | 3,000 | Floating gilded idol |
Mineral feeds gear upgrades; all four are used for weapon-element upgrades (in pairs). See which stones each element needs on the Enhancement page.
How the hunt works
Buy the Ultra Collector
A one-time purchase from the Premium Shop, under Tools, for 500 Crown. It’s a permanent tool that equips in your weapon slot and is never consumed by collecting.
Find a Catcher
They spawn on an ambient timer and wander; no announcement, no marker. Spotting one is the hunt. Each field zone has at most two live at a time.
Down it
Kill it like any monster (it won’t retaliate). Killing yields a clickable corpse, not loot directly.
Wield the Collector & channel
Equip the Ultra Collector, while it’s held you can’t fight, and your hero visibly carries it. Walk within 7 tiles of the corpse, click it, and channel for ~10 seconds. Your hero auto-faces the corpse and plays the harvest animation.
Collect ~100 stones
On completion the corpse yields about 100 Subsidiary Stones of that Catcher’s kind, straight to your bag.
Who gets the corpse: claim rules
Catchers are contested, so there are fair-play rules on the corpse:
- Whoever deals the most damage (the killer) gets an exclusive 90-second claim to collect it.
- After 90 seconds, the corpse becomes free-for-all; any hero with a Collector can channel it (still 1st-Job-Change only).
- An uncollected corpse fades after 300 seconds, and the zone quietly restocks a Catcher somewhere else.
