What happens to "Completed" bestiary entries after a limit increase?

Question

I have a question about the recent update that increased the Bestiary limits for the Sea Captain and Lizard Commander (from 5 kills to 500 kills).

I had both of these creatures fully unlocked and completed (5/5) before the update, and I already received the 30 charm points for each of them.

If I kill one of these creatures now, what happens?

1. Status: Does the entry stay "Completed" so I can keep my charms, or does it revert to "In Progress" (e.g., 6/500)?

2. Charm Points: Does the game take away the 30 points I already earned? If I kill one and the entry "resets," will those points be subtracted from my current charm pool points?

3. Double Dipping: If it does reset to 6/500, do I get the points again once I hit 500, or are they only given once per lifetime?

I don't want to accidentally lose points or have my charms points decrease. Has anyone tested this yet?

Answer 1

1 - Yes, it's still complete.

2 - I saw people on the forum saying they didn't lose points. I don't remember how many points I had before, so I can't confirm. But it's not the first time CipSoft has made changes like this. In the past, they changed the difficulty of the creatures in Warzones 4-6 to Hard, and there was no "reset". In fact, in the news about the change made at the time, they made it clear that the entries would remain fully unlocked.

I can personally confirm this is accurate, I tested it myself across four different characters and compared my recently purchased main against its original bazar page I actually have 30 points more. To be sure, I even killed an extra Sea Captain to see if the stages would reset, but they didn't. This means anyone who has already completed it doesn't need to worry about doing the remaining 495 kills for each creature.

I've taken evidence of everything, but since I’m posting this as a comment, I can’t include the files here. I also didn’t want to be the one to answer my own question right away, I wanted to give someone else a chance to jump in first

Answer 2

Here is prove of what raven said and why i choose as the correct answer 
No Reset No charm points or progress lost



Prove of points not being taken away 


I wish I could provide definitive proof, but unless I shared every single page of my Bestiary, it’s hard to show the 'before and after' in a single screenshot. However, I can confirm that these are the only two entries I’ve worked on since purchasing the character, and the points have remained consistent.

Answer 3

You already lost your 30 charm points so you will need to complete this bestiary entry to get the charm points back

Some people got -30 charm points before this change (because already locked a rune charm)

Proof of negative charms :

Are you sure? Because I saw someone on the forum saying that their character didn't lose any charm points.

Yes, just upload a picture showing negative charms

I’m not quite sure why that occurred, but based on my own experience and the screenshots I’ve shared, it worked differently for me. Since this seems to be a unique case, they might need to reach out for support, they’re actually the first person I’ve heard of having this issue. Everyone else I know who completed it before the update kept all their charms

Interesting! Where did this proof come from in your screenshot from your own character? If you could include the source of your image. Thanks!

i just figured what actually happen, by mere coincidence i also did the answer for the question "How many new creatures are in Targuna and how many charm points?"
while fixing it due to the update i notice that not only they increase the amount of creatures to kill cipsoft also decreased the amount of charms they gave from 30 to 15 so players that already did the bestiary didnt loose it, they got it adjusted to the new amount so instead of having 60 charms for both it would be 30 charm for both, in the case of the player that Raven Branwen mentions he was so close to when he used them to unlock another major charm that by taking 30 charms it became negative

---

since i was comparing it with the new information vs bazar information it did not seem like it was taken away when in fact cipsoft had taken away 30 charm points

---

Not my char image I saw it on discord the person got a major charm before update so I think thats why he got negative, sorry for wrong info I will hide my answer…

you weren't wrong though, there was a subtractions of charms just that it wasn't the full amount
