Just yesterday, when Xitan Pulan was idly flipping through books and researching…
She actually found the reason for the same kind of accident that happened to Defu, like in "The Cat's Name."
This immediately caused a howl of dismay on the forums.
Defu instantly became furious and started howling herself.
But once she understood the mechanism, she became rather conflicted about whether to switch back or not.
This was of course not some kind of bug—
Translated into player language, the mechanism is triggered like this:
If a Hunter's "Empathic Mind" skill reaches LV4 or above, and they enter the Elves' ruins with their animal companion, a soul exchange will be triggered.
This mechanism is effective until the Gold rank.
In other words, if she wants to switch back, it's a very simple task... just go through the ruins again, and it's done.
