Welcome to Gaia! ::

So there are thousands of rumours but what are the changes really?
I can say that Sycamortes started to drop various amount of gold from few thousand to 3 billion and 2 billion with some varying additions seems to be most popular right now...
I got Peridot Cabochomp from Phantom Sycamorte - one of eight I fought today, others were 2 billion once and twice the double Mega Heal the other four are not worth mentioning (pocket change not worth the trouble and wasted Mega Heals).
Some people in the forums post pictures of how they won Ember (Spirited version), Sea Pony and Chime...
What about the Guildians smile ?

Edit:
Sycamortes started to drop a RIG called Sycamorte Seed all kind of treats can be found inside all the usual everyday kin (and recolors) as well as Chime, Seapony, Bunnykit, Phantom Stagony, Mystic Pixicroak, all kind of Grunnies (and Prunny), all kinds of oppoposauruses (haunted one too).
Besides that there is chance they'll give double Mega Heal or double Ally Plus (100%) or 200% skill plus.
As for money still 2B or pocket change is most often but sometimes you can still hit 3B.

Edit:
Phantom Sycamortes drop the same amount of gold and potions as regular ones and eggs they drop are not packed into a RIG, there are Grunnies and Prunnies and it is rumoured that Blood Grunny and Shadow Grunny are also dropped this way.
I just finished 283 fights in scene four of forest and got 16 Sycamortes in total. They dropped one Sycamortes Seed (a willcroak inside stressed ), one 100% Ally+, twice single Mega Heal, eight times about 2B of gold, and twice pocket change.

Edit:
Phantom Sycamorte just dropped Phantom Sycamortes Seed on me so I guess she'll be wrapping egg drops in a RIG as well sad and since I got Magic Lantern in mine I doubt it's good news stressed

Edit:
Apparently though You can get Sakura Pegacorn and Spirited Ember from the RIG Sycamortes Seed they are also available the usual way (beat enough of them in Zen Temple and they'll drop an egg eventually). Also Sycamortes no longer drop pocket change - now it's charge balls, twice mega heal or Prunny.

Edit:
As of today statistically one in six Sycamortes drops any gold - others are singe, megaheals, orbs. I got a seed once from a phantom which by the way also drops singe. Some in the forums say that it is temporary glitch due to server crash, others me including are not so optimistic. I'll update when I know more.

Edit:
Sycamortes are back to their former (although post-update) glory.
