Needs Rayhound Cryst Saddle equipped — without that gear the skill does nothing. It unlocks at Technology level 32 for 4 points, so a Pal caught early can sit unusable for a while.

Full-speed runs across the tundra throw up a blizzard that wipes out visibility, so Rayhound Cryst are forever crashing into one another.

How to Get Rayhound Cryst

Rayhound Cryst is Ice, so a Fire attacker takes it down fastest — and a Pal it resists will drag the fight long enough for it to heal or flee.

Wild Rayhound Cryst spawn between level 35 and 77. A level 77 one resists far more than a level 35; catch cheap first, then farm the high spawns for condensing.

Its capture rate is 1.0, which makes it middle of the road: take the health bar down first and aim for its back.

Where to Find Rayhound Cryst

Rayhound Cryst spawn locations in the wild — every marked spot is a known spawn area.

Most of them are around Pristine Snow Field (32.9% of known spots), with smaller pockets near Thawtide Cape and Unthawable Lake. They come in groups of up to 2, so plan sphere stock for more than one.
