| 1 | + | # Bestiary league | |
| 2 | + | The Bestiary league and Hardcore Bestiary league were past challenge leagues. The leagues started on March 2, 2018. | |
| 2 | 3 | ||
| 3 | - | **Contract: Mansion** is a [[HeistContract]] base type. | |
| 4 | + | This league introduced Einhar Frey, who taught the player how to capture beasts with nets. Captured beasts were marked in the Bestiary and placed in the Menagerie for display, but more importantly, used for beastcrafting to create or modify items of various kinds or to challenge the First Ones in battle.[2] | |
| 5 | + | ||
| 6 | + | All characters and stashes were moved to Standard league and Hardcore league respectively when the leagues ended. Characters that died in the Hardcore Bestiary league were immediately moved to the permanent Standard league. | |
| 7 | + | ||
| 8 | + | After the leagues ended, the beast hunting mechanics were not immediately added to the core game. They were added to the core game with the 3.5 Betrayal patch. Through beastcrafting, four end-game encounters can be accessed: The Spirit Beasts. | |

| 7 | - | ||
| 23 | + | In this league, players are given access to nets. They can be dropped normally or can be bought from Einhar Frey. You can throw the net at any catchable living monster (default hotkey "V"). Catchable monsters are marked with an icon on their life bars. Nets are not used until they are actually thrown at a monster. They have a cooldown and a cast time, so being stunned while throwing a net will interrupt it. | |

| 9 | - | **Image** | **Image Name** | **Description** | |
| 10 | - | ---|---|--- | |
| 11 | - |  | **Lightning ball**<br>Spell attack | <ul><li>Certain monsters in this area shoot out a lightning ball.</li><li>To avoid taking damage, players need to run away from the ball, otherwise they will take high lightning damage.</li></ul> | |
| 12 | - |  | **Patrolling group**<br>Monster<br>Formation | <ul><li>This area contains many patrolling groups of monsters</li><li>Each patrol group includes many normal variety enemies, led by a magic/unique variety miniboss</li></ul> | |
| 25 | + | Once the net is thrown, the target monster cannot be killed and will be stunned, for up to 3 seconds. If a capture succeeds, Einhar will transport the beast away to the Menagerie. The lower the monster's life is, the higher the chance of success. If a capture fails, the monster will recover a percentage of its life and become enraged. You cannot throw a net at it again until it has stopped enraging. | |
