[Issue] Impresario Items not permanently flagged as "collected"

illutian

I just did a test with the event tickets and got all the pieces for the Stonewisp Truth and Law pet.

While I was holding the fragments, their respective pieces in the vendor are marked 'Collected' and highlighted in red. Once I combined them, those same pieces are now flagged as 'not collected' and are no longer highlighted in red.

This means, unless you have a mod to track collectables, you run the very real chance of "double buying" fragments, especially if they show up on the other vendor that sells past event fragments.

Seeing as you can buy tickets for $2.50 (250 crowns; $0.01/crown). This is a glaring issue.

this is likely because you still have a collectible to morph the Julianos pet into, the Chapel house, and after that you can collect it for the last time.

Wait...so you're saying that not only do I need to 're-collect' each time I morph. But that I also just wasted morphing a second Stonewisp? - I specifically tested with something I already had to see if I could even combine it for a second time.

This sounds like it's even worse...but that's for another post.

well luckily in 2026 that will change in a way.
the Sanguine collectibles next year will not require morphing!

MORPHING COLLECTIBLE NOTE: Assembling morphing collectibles from the 2026 offerings will no longer consume or require the pet. This is by design and intended behavior. You no longer need to reassemble the bat pet to make other offerings; all these collectibles stand alone.

Also note that the Roseblood Bat Pet fragments cost 10 tickets each, as opposed to the previous 5 for consumed base items. The bat will not disappear upon assembling its morphs, as noted. We are currently deciding on how to handle the older collectibles in this regard so as not to leave you with “dead fragments.”

Basically yes. There are a number of items that are all morphs of the Stonewisp pet, which is consumed in the process. Ergo, you will then need the parts for another one for the next morph. I'm surprised the system let you create the same morph twice, though (assuming I'm understanding what you said correctly?)

I used to make the pet then collect the fragments to make a second pet so that when the first pet was used up from morphing I could then use the second set of fragments to make the pet again.

If this starts next year then I assume the pet will be consumed when morphing this year. If so I guess I better start collecting more parts! I was too late.

I'm guessing the morphible collectable change noted above won't be retroactive to existing ones? The wording certainly seems it's only for the new ones starting Jan. 2026.

Correct, I already had the Stonewisp from when it was first introduced. And combined for a second one, as a test to see what would happen.

Well when you no long need the stonewisp to morph or combine for a new stone wisp, you will no longer be able to buy them. Once you morph the last one into the house, you can buy the pieces again so you can have the pet back. If you are not interested in any of the morphs, just stop buying the pieces of the Stonewisp. It is hardly some bug that they let you get all those options to morph it into, once you morph it you no longer have the pet, unless you have the pieces to combine into another one.
