Idol Collecting Tips!
- The newest skin: IceBorne Kronosaurus will require gathering 50 idols to unlock. While all previous year's seasonal skins will require 35 idols to unlock.
- The idols belonging to the newest skin will have a special compass icon different from the others. It looks like a gold star-burst border pattern.
- The idols belonging to land species will only spawn on land anywhere carcasses can spawn.
- The Idols belonging to aquatic species will only spawn underwater anywhere carcasses can spawn.
- All Seasonal Skins are earned by collecting idols scattered around the map and returning them to a matching deity shrine.
- All idols must be gathered on the same server to complete the achievement and unlock the skin, but they can be individually gathered by different creatures or during different lives.
- Idols show up on the compass when nearby with a color themed for the deity shrine they belong to.
- Turning in an idol will show achievement progress in the top-right corner of the screen
- You should also be able to view the progress you've made towards unlocking the event skins by viewing the corresponding achievements in the achievements gallery's Limited Time Events page.
Myth: The newest type of idol isn't spawning because there is too many older event idols on the map.
Fact: Each idol type has its own maximum count which is maintained by the server. The count is not influenced by the amount of other types of idols, nor will turning in other kinds of idols promote the spawning of another species' idol.
There is likely 'less' of the newest idol because it is likely being utilised the most by other players.
