## Notes we already publish

- (use) The entry sits at Technology level 77 and costs 4 points, and the seat is built at a Pal Gear Workbench rather than a plain workbench. Crafting it is also the switch for Azure Sovereign: the partner-skill table names this exact item as the skill's restriction, so a Shaolong you have caught but never saddled gives you neither the flight nor the damage bonus. One saddle covers every Shaolong you own — it is the recipe that is gated, not the individual Pal.
- (use) What the seat buys is a ride sprint of 2800, third among the 29 flying mounts and only beaten by Jetragon at 3300 and Panthalus at 3000. Jetragon's saddle is two levels further up the tree, so from 77 until you finish that research this is the fastest thing you can build and fly, and it roughly doubles Shaolong's own ground run of 1400.
- (strategy) Azure Sovereign raises ranged attack by 4% at partner rank 1, climbing 5 / 6 / 7 to 8% at rank 5 as you condense Shaolong, and the value is counted once for every OTHER Dragon-element Pal riding along in your party — Shaolong itself is excluded from the tally. Fill the remaining four party slots with Dragons and a fully condensed Shaolong is running roughly 32% extra, while a lone Shaolong in a mixed team gets nothing at all from the skill.
- (strategy) The bonus targets Shaolong itself, not you, and it is specifically ranged attack — Shaolong's breath and projectile moves scale with it while your own guns and any melee skill it throws do not. A second Shaolong counts as one of the Dragons for the tally, so a duplicate you were going to condense is worth parking in the party first. Build the team around the buff before you spend on the saddle: the payoff is a Dragon roster, not a solo mount.
- (use) The flat bill hides a deeper chain. The 32 Soralite Ingots are 2 Soralite plus 2 Pure Quartz apiece, so the real cost is 64 Soralite off the sky islands and 64 Pure Quartz, and each ingot carries a heavy smelting time — start that queue long before you reach level 77. The 32 High Quality Cloth need 10 Wool and 1 Leather each, which puts the true leather total at 72 rather than the 40 listed and the wool total at 320.
