Suggestion: Eidolon Phantom/practice mode

[NezuHimeSama]

So, as we all know, normal eidolon shards are basically worthless. You'll get way more than you'll ever need farming those precious arcanes, and there's really not a lot to spend them on. Not really a big issue, since they just sit there, not doing anything special, but wouldn't it be nice to be able to use them?

Unrelatedly, testing builds against Eidolons is hard, since if you're free at night, you want to group up and get as many arcanes as you can. No time for practice or experimentation, and you can't summon them in simulacrum or anything, can you? So, it would be nice to, say, sacrifice something insignificant at the Eidolon Shrine during the daytime, and be allowed to practice against your favorite Eidolon, minus the drops.

 

Now if only there was some brilliant way to combine these two ideas and kill two birds with one stone! Like, I don't know, sacrificing an Eidolon Shard to summon an Eidolon Phantom to fight, just like you would at night, but instead of sacrificing the drops you won't be getting from them, you just sacrifice normal shards from your inventory! Or maybe that's just too crazy, idk.

Also, it would be an excuse to have lures sitting around in the day, so you don't have to get them at night, and phantom Vomvalysts could spawn whenever a Phantom Eidolon is up.

 

Just some thoughts.

Totally agree.

Add this Training Practice to Codex, like Parkour test, or like Simaris test for synthesis targets, but just with basic info

What they should do is make the simulacrum bigger so we can fight the eidolons in there and spawn in more enemy’s at higher levels....that would really do it for me lol

Simulacrum has fixed terrain, though, and it's not really a good indication of playing the actual game content because of it.
