Editing Whitsun (Guide)/Item Comparison

{{Audience|EarlyMYN|Evergreen=yes}}{{Item Comparison}}{{Whitsun}}
Whitsun has a lot of critters that you can make! It can be really overwhelming to plan exactly what you want from year to year. In order to help those who are overwhelmed and don't know where to start, here is a tier list of Whitsun creatures to help decide what eggs you want to bother hatching. As a tier list there's obviously quite a lot of subjectivity involved here, but this should at least serve as a reasonable starting point.

This page will ''not'' be covering how to obtain the various Whitsun creatures. For that, see [[Whitsun (Guide)]]. This is purely to help players examine their options.

For all stats, '''strict BiS are in bold''', ''shared BiS are in italics''.

==Note On Other Festivals==
The way Whitsun works is that every year, some eggs will be freely available, and others will cost an {{IL|Amber Ha'penny}}. We don't know ahead of time what the rotation will look like each year, but in principle any Whitsun item is available to someone playing freely, albeit some may require saving up several years' worth of Ha'pennies. In 2024, {{IL|Pelagic Egg, Untreated}} and {{IL|Scarlet Egg, Untreated}} are free while the others cost a single {{IL|Amber Ha'penny}}.

The two other Companion-based festivals currently are Hallowmas and Feast of the Rose. Most of the peer companions from the latter cost {{FontFate}}. With regard to Hallowmas, there may be Whitsun peer items available this year or there may not be; Hallowmas cycles through what's freely available every year, and the only real heuristic is that something which was available for free last year probably won't be this year.

==Special Tier: Sartorial & Bellic Augmentations==
The items gained from Sartorial and Bellic Augmentation are all good. They are all worth getting if you do not have any of their peer items; they give multiple useful stats and often have a useful niche as well. They can be quite expensive however at {{IL|Amber Ha'penny|3}} per item, so plan accordingly. Note also that the items in this tier hatch immediately.
