## Notes we already publish

- (use) The Technology tree is the only route to this saddle — it sits at level 71 and costs 4 Technology points, and nothing drops it, sells it or hands it over as a reward. Level 71 is deep enough that most players meet [[pal:IceNarwhal_Fire]] long before they can ride it, so catching one early only banks it for later.
- (use) Owning the saddle is what switches on Cozy Whale Cruiser, not owning the Pal. The partner skill is locked to this item in the skill data, so a Whalaska Ignis sitting in your party with no saddle crafted gives you none of its fishing bonus.
- (strategy) Cozy Whale Cruiser is a fishing skill first and a mount second. It hands the player two effects at once, both scaling with the Pal's partner-skill level: the fishing minigame opens with a head start on the progress bar, and every successful pull adds extra progress. Both sit at +7% at level 1, then +9%, +11%, +13% and +17% at levels 2 through 5. Same-skill sources stack in your favour here, since the two effects work on different parts of the same bar.
- (strategy) If you own both whales, the Ignis is the better fishing partner at every rank. Plain [[pal:IceNarwhal]] runs Chilled Whale Cruiser at +5/+7/+9/+11/+14% on the same two fishing effects, so the fire variant is one full rank ahead the whole way and pulls furthest clear at max level — 17% against 14%. That gap is the real argument for spending the 4 points on this saddle rather than reusing the one you already built.
- (use) Budget for a long craft. This saddle carries a work value of 24,000, several times a typical piece of Pal gear, so start it with your best Handiwork Pals assigned and expect the bench to be tied up. Stage the [[item:SkyislandIngot]] x20 first — the Sky Island refining chain is the one material here you cannot rush at the last minute, while [[item:FireOrgan]] x20 comes off any Fire Pal you farm on the way.
