Many a naturalist has questioned how a morbol so rarely exposed to warmth or sunlight could have grown even more enormous and replete with limbs than the Shroud's Capricious Cassie. As none have been willing to approach her so-called copycat to find out, the official answer remains “by being an unholy abomination, probably.”

— In-game description

Cassie and the Copycats is an elemental level 35 FATE spawned in The Forbidden Land, Eureka Pagos.

Rewards

Additional Information

This FATE is commonly referred to as "Cassie" or "CC" by the player base and is highly desirable due to the rare chance to drop speed-boosting equipment, which can be also be sold on the Market Board for a premium. In many data centers, players will often spawn it as soon as possible and not wait for others to arrive before engaging the boss, so to maximize one's chance to earn rewards, one should be near the FATE spawn area if there is an upcoming spawn window in the instance.

Spawning Guide

  • Only spawns during Blizzards weather at least 2 real-life hours since it was last spawned in the current instance.
  • The notorious monster (NM) itself spawns in a circular arena (The Barren Arena) with only one entrance. The requisite mobs (level 40 Ameretats) spawn to the left and right of the arena.
  • Because Logos Actions are not available in Pagos, only well-equipped tanks with significant Elemental Bonus from their gear can safely mass pull the Ameretats. Make sure to set the Magia Board to full defense (5 Ice). It is also recommended to use Eurekan potion icon1.png  Eurekan Potions for extra survivability. Warrior frame icon.png Warriors are especially powerful, because Raw Intuition.png  Raw Intuition combined with their AoE combo will effectively fully restore their HP for 6 seconds, and is available every 25 seconds.
  • Typically, players who are not pulling will stand in the arena near the entrance and wait for the mobs to be brought to them.
  • One tank can pull the left side containing many mobs, while another pulls the right side, which only contains 5 Ameretats. Because of this, the right side tank does not need to have best-in-slot gear.
  • The Ameratats will use Bad Breath, a frontal conal AoE with no AoE indicator that will inflict multiple status ailments. As there are many mobs, these are hard to dodge for melees but is more of a nuisance than dangerous. Ranged players can more easily dodge these, as it is indicated by a mob facing or walking up to its target and preparing the cast.
  • Cassie cannot spawn if another NM is up (excluding Eureka: Notorious MonsterEternity and the two bunny FATEs Eureka: Notorious MonsterDown the Rabbit Hole / Eureka: Notorious MonsterCuriouser and Curiouser). If another NM does spawn, it is necessary to clear that to allow Cassie to spawn. Players who decide to clear the blocking NM should have Return.png  Return off cooldown, allowing them to quickly return to the Cassie arena afterwards (via returning to the Icepoint aetheryte and then traveling to the Gravitational Studies aetheryte). This is because in many data centers, Cassie tends to be immediately pulled upon spawning without waiting for others to arrive.
