## Notes we already publish

- (location) The recipe sits at Technology level 72 and costs 4 Technology points, so this is a very late unlock — the Soralite Ingot x10 in the cost means a Sky Island trip has to happen first either way.
- (use) Building the saddle is what switches [[pal:ThiefBird]]'s Dark-Nester partner skill on. Until you have it, Roujay is a work Pal and nothing else; with it, Roujay can be ridden as a flying mount and the party-wide damage bonus starts applying.
- (use) Mounted, Roujay sprints at 1350 and carries 200 stamina, so it flies faster than it runs on the ground and covers ridge-to-ridge distance without dropping you halfway.
- (strategy) Dark-Nester only pays out against enemies already suffering the Darkness (blind) ailment — it does nothing to a clean target. Bring something that applies Darkness first, then the bonus lifts both your own damage and your other Pals' damage.
- (strategy) The bonus scales with Roujay's star rank: 50% at base, then 53%, 56%, 60%, and 65% once fully condensed. Ranking Roujay up is worth more than it looks here, because the buff applies to the whole party's damage rather than just Roujay's.
