What this site is
Aniimo Field Guide is an independent, unofficial English guide to Aniimo, the free-to-play creature-collection action RPG from Pawprint Studio. It exists because the game explains its systems once and then leaves the player to work them out. This site turns those systems into reference pages: what a mechanic does, what it costs, and what to do first.
The site is not affiliated with Pawprint Studio or FunPlus and is not endorsed by them. Game names, creature names and marks belong to their owners. Everything else here — page text, diagrams and tables — is original work.
Who writes it
One writer maintains the site, working from the English client and the official channels. There is no editorial board, which has one advantage: a wrong line is one person's mistake and one person's job to fix. The site is operated by the independent publisher of Aniimo Field Guide, reachable at yqin1090@gmail.com.
How each page is researched
Sources are ranked, not blended. Every page is built in three passes:
- Official material first. Patch notes, in-client descriptions and the probability disclosures published by the developer. If an official note contradicts an older video, the note wins.
- In-build testing second. The current build is S1 Part 2, and values are read from the UI or measured: cooldowns, badge thresholds, unlock gates, currency costs.
- Community sources last. Wikis and recorded runs fill gaps where official text is silent, never as the final word on a number the client already shows.
Claims carry their provenance. Official means the developer stated it. Tested in build means it was checked in the live client. Community consensus means players agree but no official confirmation exists. An unlabelled claim is provisional.
What this site will not publish
- Top-up advice. No "best pack to buy", no spending plans, no encouragement to convert real money into currency.
- Redeem-code spam. No code lists or generator pages. Codes are covered only when the developer publishes one.
- Paid-value rankings. No battle-pass value tables or shop tier lists. A guide that ranks purchases is a shop with a byline.
- Third-party screenshots and watermarked art. Every image is an original SVG diagram drawn for the page.
How often pages are updated
Every guide shows an Updated date. When a balance patch or a new season goes live, affected pages are reviewed within 48 hours. At the end of each season the whole site gets a slower audit: dead links removed, superseded values replaced, pages that no longer match the client rewritten or marked as historical.
Corrections
If a page is wrong, write to yqin1090@gmail.com with the page URL, the sentence at issue and a source. Corrections with a verifiable source are handled first.
Corrected facts are changed in place and the Updated badge moves forward. The site does not quietly rewrite a claim; a guide that hides its edits cannot be trusted about anything else.
