What Is Elite Training?
Elite Training is a progression system run through Dr. Lewis, split into required Core Courses and four optional Elective Paths. Each course provides rewards and Elite Training Points.
Core Courses are also tied to Pathfinder promotions. Finish required objectives in a chapter, and you'll unlock a Promotion Assessment that raises your Pathfinder level cap.
How to Access Elite Training
Complete the "Chasing the Clouds" Main Quest, where you'll fight Alpha Turbo. Dr. Lewis will then unlock Elite Training, which you can access anytime from the start menu to view Core Courses, elective paths, objectives, and rewards.
Elite Training Core Courses
Core Courses are the required part of Elite Training for Pathfinder promotions. They're divided into chapters, with each chapter containing objectives tied to your current progress.
These objectives can range from completing main story missions to leveling up a few Aniimo to catching a set number of unique Aniimo.
Completing the required Core Course objectives in a chapter unlocks the Promotion Assessment for the next Pathfinder title. You'll also need to reach the required Pathfinder Level before you can take the promotion.
Pathfinder Promotions
Pathfinder Promotions let you advance to a higher title and raise your Pathfinder level cap. Each promotion requires you to reach the required Pathfinder Level and complete the necessary Core Course objectives.
Once those requirements are met, you can take the corresponding Promotion Assessment. Passing it advances your Pathfinder title and raises your level cap, letting you continue earning Pathfinder EXP beyond your previous limit.
Promotion assessments can include a duel and a written section, so passing takes more than just showing up.
Elite Training Elective Courses
Path of Twining
Path of Twining focuses on Aniimo and their progression. Its objectives involve catching, hatching, training, upgrading, and using Aniimo-related systems.
Path of Discovery
Path of Discovery focuses on exploring Idyll. Its objectives involve exploration, side quests, and clearing Sanctums.
Path of Victory
Path of Victory focuses on Combat. Its objectives involve using different combat systems, defeating various Aniimo, and battling other Pathfinders in PvP.
Path of Splendor
Path of Splendor focuses on customization and activities outside regular exploration and combat. Its objectives center on raising your RV rank and building friendships with other players.
Elite Training Rewards
Completing Elite Training courses rewards you with Safaris, Glimmer, Credits, items, and Elite Training Points.
Elite Training Points are also added to a shared reward track and aren't spent when claiming rewards. Reaching certain point milestones unlocks additional rewards, including Aniipod Ultras, a Sparkling Egg, an Advanced Held Item Pack, a Sparkling Cube, and Capafruit. There's more than 180 points available in total, so you don't need to clear every objective to hit the milestones that matter to you.
The 180-point milestone is the big one: it unlocks Somniwing, a Grass/Wind Aniimo built for a support role that you can't catch or hatch any other way.
