Patch 0.1.3 Familiar Changes

Patch 0.1.3 included several changes that affect Familiars in Witchspire — from visual improvements to capture tool updates.

Officially Confirmed Changes

Celestial Familiar VFX Improvements

Celestial Familiar visual effects were improved in Patch 0.1.3. This is a visual-only change — no gameplay mechanics were altered. [Official — Patch 0.1.3 notes]

Incense Duration Rebalancing

All Incense durations were rebalanced. Incense is the primary tool for bonding (capturing) wild Familiars:

Incense TierPrevious DurationNew Duration
Simple Spirit Incense20 seconds30 seconds
Potent Spirit Incense15 seconds30 seconds
Rich Spirit Incense10 seconds20 seconds
Shimmering Incense10 seconds20 seconds

Longer durations give players more time during bonding encounters. [Official — Patch 0.1.3 notes]

Shimmering Incense Recipe Change

The Shimmering Incense recipe now requires Brilliant Spirit Dust (instead of Greater Spirit Dust) and a Candle. This affects the top-tier capture tool. See the Crafting Changes page for details. [Official — Patch 0.1.3 notes]
