I've decided I want to do something a little crazy. As a 5* Apprentice, I'm going to take the longest route possible for leveling up Jamika, my Maskeraith. I'm going to feed her ONLY 0* Materials. As you can imagine, it will take quite some time to get her fully leveled up to 100, and lots and lots of Shards, so I expect this to take several months. Not to mention, I don't plan on obsessively sitting here waiting for her appetite to come back... or playing 24/7.

I'm going to keep a log on the second post here to keep track of the date I reached each level and how many Shards Jamika has consumed so far. I'll also bump this thread with the new update to keep track of things.

If you would like to support this or watch as Jamika levels up, you can add me in game (Arythroprax) and I will kindly accept donations of 0* materials (shards) and/or Shadow food. Shards are cheap, but seeing as I'm not sure how many I will need, a friendly donation of any amount would be considered generous.

Must be an interesting test...and do you need some Light Shards? I can sell you plenty of em for 3cr each.

Only 0* mats?

If you plan on using ur sprite for anything, they actually do gain from doing clockwork runs.
I have a level 66 Drakon that I havent fed (except for levelups) since level 49.
I have, however, taken it on a whole ton of runs.

I don't plan on using Jamika

I don't plan on using Jamika until she is completely maxed out. Heating her in runs would be cheating. For now she is there for looks.

gods ain't gonna help you, son.

man, you are leveling a sprite with only shards. it will take years. it doesn't matter if you aren't always on.
besides, we should run some tests on how much does a 1* mat compares to a 0*, now we can. we need someone with the ce and the will to buy a sprite in name of SCIENCE! I don't have the ce and I already have a maskeraith, so not me.

Maybe this test can show how much heat a 0* item fills compared to a 1* and so on. Who has over 9000 ecto drops and an alt to waste?

Lol, I once gave someone 24k Gel Drops for "her" birthday. Then found out it was a guy using me. If I had those... well, I've got some alts to "waste."

I've reached level 4 and level 5. I reached 4 two days ago, but I got a bit tied up and wasn't able to post!

Oddly enough, it took 38 this time for both of these levels.

@Arythroprax

Yeah. Levels only get harder when you change your Sprite's star level. I'm not entirely sure about which levels those are but it's when the star level of your Sprite's perks change.

So far I've been heating my drakon and maskerith with only 1* materials (99.9% of the time anyway, sometimes throw in a 2* or 3* just to finish a level) and they are at level 36. This has been since the sprite pods were released.

I reached level 6 a few hours ago. This time it was 33 Shards again. I'm not sure why and I don't think I've miscounted.

Fatso only got Gel Drops (or was that Gel Core, damn, been a while) at level 66, took around 150 of them, over 2 days.

If anyone donates the 1* material, I can provide an alt who hasn't got or just got their sprite. (Huh, and doesn't that sound like someone who'd run off with them, sigh.)
But anyway, Howlingmad-Murdock seems to be just the alt for this. He hasn't done any of the Sprite missions yet, and otherwise is at 3-1 page, with 2* Honor Guard and Honor Blade.

I'd like some company on the Sprite missions though.

Good luck. See ya in 6 years from now.
Sprites eat A LOT. Heck, my dragon is ,what? 68 level, and has already eaten all my 5* and 4* and now is slowly eating though my 3* mats.
You are going to need well over 50k shards for this. I really want to know the results though, this thread will be interesting.

Just reached level 7. Been busy for the past week, so that's why it's taken a bit of time. 38 shards this time. I think I want to buy another sprite and do it again just to check my numbers, since it's inconsistent.
