What I'm going to do here is post things about figurines, and then update the original post. Once we think we have a complete guide, I'll close the thread, and create a new completed version.

If you have an interesting tidbit about figurines, or you want to post what the AB file says, please do so. Note that some of the files don't actually tell us what they do, so we may need some divine help.

I'll start with what I have:

Is there any point to using figurines yet? Other than as collectables, that is. (Gogo Lusternian pokemon! )

Syntax: PACK WITH SPARKLEBERRY
You may pack battle figurines with up to 50 sparkleberry. During a
battle, they will some times eat this herb to heal themselves.

No real point right now, but no reason to let it go to waste. Or, you could always try to beat a god.

Syntax: SEW MINICLOAK
DRESS WITH
At a tailoring workbench, you can sew miniature cloaks that will protect against breath weapons.

Ohh...do miniatures decay?

Anyone know the commodities nedeed for this?

Yep, 2 cloth.

yes they decay. Also, each time they win a battle, their decay time gets longer.

ab jewelry Miniatures

Syntax: CRAFT FIGURINE
You may craft blank figurines for artisans. The commodities required to
create a figurine are: gold 1 marble 2 powerstone 2


Question :
I have noticed that I can price and sell minimeals, and feed the figurine myself. I know though that only a herbalist can pack sparkleberries though. How about the dressing? the cloak, and the armour? My figurine's armour keeping breaking!


Oh, and powerstones do not have to be full.

Bookbinding

Syntax: SCRIBE MAGIC SCRIPT ON
Scribing magic script over a figurine will afford it the ability to occasionally
cast shields to stop damage (though not poison clouds). This takes 50
applications of magic ink.

Also looking for a vial of magic ink btw

Oh. So it'd be impossible to have a real collection unless you fought them and won now and then, huh?

Or you can keep them in a chest/shop/other thing that reduces decay.

Hey, yeah! Thanks! I'd forgotten about that!

Don't think chests reduce decay...Shops do! Cabinets stop decay for clothes, racks for weapons/armor, baskets for food.

What's the point of mini-meals?

Here's the syntax for Alchemy

Syntax: DIP IN

You can dip miniatures in a vial of quicksilver, making the figurine attack
faster. The figurine will absorb the equivalent of 50 sips.

NOTE: Figurines coated in quicksilver cannot also be coated in poison nor can
it wear knuckles/helmet.

who's got the meanest figurine right now?
