A mote cloud is an enigmatic pet exclusive to Patreon backers. It is a light source with a radius of 4 tiles, similar to a torch, but occasionally brightens or dims by one tile.[1] It is nullphase and thus cannot participate in combat, but it can gain XP.

While travelling with a mote cloud, it may "float off" towards unexplored parts of the current zone. Unlike other followers, tiles explored by a mote cloud are explored by, but not visible to, the player. Once all tiles in the zone are explored, it will return to following the player character.[2]

Recall Story

Silent Serenade

Tell me of what you see in the lights, love,
Draw me the sparkles you watch most nights.
Share with me a touchless truth from the book no one writes.
Once in our time I held my faith, love,
To what I perceived and could myself touch
But the fractal curling goes far beyond what I see,
and I don't see much.
Let the lost ones, the stray ones, the notes unplayed
Sing me into their silent serenade.

The mote cloud swirls in the wake of your motions.

The mote cloud scatters and reforms.

The mote cloud glitters brighter for a moment.

The mote cloud evokes the memory of an electric prickle.

Tips

This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.
  • A hands-free light source can be a boon in the earlygame, especially for certain Castes.
  • A mote cloud independently exploring the zone means more selectable tiles for Teleportation without the cooldown of Clairvoyance.
