A new crafting system will be introduced in Eternity’s End: Patch 9.2 that will allow us to create twenty-eight battle pets through a new sub-profession called Protoform Synthesis. We also see the Axolotls pet I tweeted about several years ago.

Protoform Synthesis

Protoform Synthesis is similar to Junkyard Tinkering where you need to learn a heap of schematics to craft the new pets from Eternity’s End. Just like Mechagon, you can collect the reagents from Zereth Mortis. The reagents are either BoA or unbound so will be an alt-friendly zone for many players.

To gain access to Protoform Synthesis, you need to research Sopranian Understanding under the Dealic tree of the Cypher Research Console.

Synthesis Forge

Once Sopranian Understanding is fully researched, summon Pocopoc and complete the Protoform Synthesis quest by escorting your companion to the Protoform Synthesis Pet Forge just south of Pilgrim’s Grace. This unlocks the first 14 schematics.

What You’ll Need To Build a Protoform Synthesis Pet

Apart from the schematic, each recipe is made up of 3 parts – a lattice, glimmer component and genesis motes. There’s a chance to loot any of the components needed from the Olea Cache including the items coming from the raid.

  • A Lattice forms the body of the creature you’re creating. For example, an Aurelid Lattice will drop from Jellyfish mobs (Aurelid) with rare versions like Hirukon having a higher drop rate. Mounts are also listed since this is a component they have in common.

  • Genesis Motes are used to power the forge for each pet you create but require Dealic Understanding to see. They only drop a few at a time but thankfully drop from many different creatures and a few lootable objects in the zone. You will need to farm 18,400 Genesis Motes if you want to collect all the pets (8,550) and mounts (9,850).

If you find any additional sources, let me know below.

Where to Find the Battle Pet Schematics

Fourteen battle pet schematics are scattered all over Zereth Mortis including a couple of the hidden Treasures of Zereth Mortis. If you loot any of the treasures without unlocking the Protoform Synthesis Forge, the schematic will spawn nearby once the forge is unlocked.

Locations of Crystallized Echo of the First Song (see video for all locations)
/way 77.60 59.01 – in the cave under the waterfall (same location as the Syntactic Vault)
/way 77.55 60.43 – under the waterfall on the south-west side of the island
/way 77.42 45.36 – on top of a waterfall on the north-west side of the island
/way 78.20 54.30 – on top of a small pillar
/way 78.28 53.10 – in the water under the bridge leading to the raid  – top of the waterfall

Achievement

Lightless Tormentor – requires The Jailer’s Gauntlet: Layer 1 (Torghast)

Quest

E’rnee – starts with the quest Look Who I Found in Haven. Tamra’s questline is part of the Small Pet Problems storyline, which is part of the Path to Enlightenment achievement towards flying in Zereth Mortis.

E'rnee battle pet with Cymre Jones - Pets from Eternity's End

Pocopoc – Olea Manu sells Pocopoc Traveler for 500x Cyphers of the First Ones after completing the Jiro to Hero storyline. He can even use any of the 10 hats you’ve collected in Zereth Mortis. #winning

This isn’t the real Pocopoc, but it provided this replica to you for use outside Zereth Mortis. Its details are so accurate as to be utterly convincing to anyone who hasn’t spent lots of time with the real one.

Treasure

Geordy – chance to be looted from an Ephemera Orb (see video)

Pet Battle

Ambystan Snapper
Aurelid Floater
Bloodsucker Vespoid
Bufonid Croaker

Enraged Poultrid – Use a macro to ‘/tar Agitated Poultrid’ then emote /chicken at it to trigger a pet battle.
Green Viperid
King Veperid
Mawtouched Geomental – requires the consumption of a Questionable Mawshroom
Metallic Scarabid
Momma Vombata – seems to be a rare spawn compared to the Vombata Pups. Eventually found mine right next to the Dimensional Falls at 50, 71. Found a second one at 44, 46 right by the huge forge.
Predatory Helicid
Proto Avian Fledgling
Red Viperid
Scarlet Proto Avian
Tarachnid Ambusher
Tarachnid Stalker
Timid Leporid
Venomous Bufonid
Vicious Leporid
Vombata Pup

I like the jellies and nods to our Australian wildlife which looks like a cross between a wombat and a koala. I mean, just look at the name. Did you find any of these Eternity’s End pets particularly hard to collect?
