Return to the Wild
When your backpack fills up with spares, you can return Elemixies to the wild for coins. The payout honors the time you put in: a freshly caught spare pays a little, a trained companion pays a lot.
How It Works
- Find the Return to the Wild spot in the Meadow and open the prompt.
- Pick as many Elemixies as you like. The header adds up the total coins as you select. Busy Elemixies (foraging, training, battling, mixing, trading) don't appear.
- Press Release and confirm. The confirmation shows the count and the coins, and warns you extra hard if anything high-value is selected: a legendary, a mythic, a 5-star, or anyone at level 30 or above.
Releasing can't be undone. A locked Elemixie asks to be unlocked first, you can never release your very last Elemixie, and your Elemixpedia discovery is forever no matter what you release.
What You Get
The payout starts from a base value by rarity:
| Rarity | Base value |
|---|---|
| Common | 50 |
| Uncommon | 75 |
| Rare | 200 |
| Epic | 500 |
| Legendary | 800 |
| Mythic | 1,500 |
Then it grows with everything you invested:
- Stars count every copy. A merged Elemixie pays for all the duplicates that went into it, so a 5-star common carries the value of all 29 copies it took.
- Levels multiply. XP raises the payout, up to several times the base at level 50.
- Mixed elements pay double. Each one cost two base Elemixies to make.
- Fresh catches pay a sliver. An untouched level 1 catch pays only 5% of its base value. The payout climbs with stars and level until a fully raised Elemixie collects the full amount.
In short: releasing spare wild catches is pocket change, and releasing something you actually raised is a real payday. Think twice; that's the design.
Worth Knowing
- Release coins never count against the daily coin cap. They also skip the Elemixies+ coin bonus; you get the full listed amount, no more, no less.
- Releasing someone from your following team dismisses them first, automatically.
- Bulk releases are all-or-nothing: if one pick fails a check, nothing is released.
- Not sure whether to merge or release a duplicate? Merging builds stars; releasing pays coins. Rarer species need fewer copies to merge, so spare commons are usually coins and spare mythics are usually stars.
