Companion Handbook: editions, levels and rewards

The Companion Handbook is Aniimo’s battle pass. Edition tells you which rewards you can claim; Handbook level tells you how far you have progressed. Read those two values separately before comparing a reward or preorder bundle.

One ladder, different entitlements

Three illustrated books with different covers and the same page thickness
Your entitlement
Edition
Standard is free. Advanced adds the paid reward row. Collector’s adds benefits to the paid edition; it is not a third independently levelled pass.

Your progress
Handbook level
Companion EXP advances the reward milestones. It is separate from Pathfinder level, Aniimo level and the edition attached to your account.
Example: two players at Handbook level 20: A Standard player and an Advanced player can have the same Handbook level. Their progress number matches, while their claimable reward rows differ. Paying for an edition and earning enough EXP for a reward answer different questions.

The beta ladder reached level 100. These are beta package details, not a guarantee of launch prices, storage permanence or the final reward schedule. Collector’s ten-box listing describes that edition’s total bonus; do not add it to Advanced’s five boxes and promise fifteen.

Check a reward in this order

  1. 1Read the active season

    Confirm the season and reward shown in your current client. A screenshot of a previous featured Prismana is not a promise about every future season.

  2. 2Read its milestone and row

    Find the required Handbook level and whether the reward belongs to Standard or the paid row. Do not substitute your Pathfinder level.

  3. 3Check your edition and activation

    If using a bundle, read the exact Handbook entitlement and whether it still needs activation. One included activation does not imply permanent access to future passes.

  4. 4Check remaining progression

    Compare your current Companion EXP and available tasks with the milestone. An activation level boost is only part of the route to a reward; do not assume it guarantees day-one access.

Read these details before choosing an edition

  • Current price and upgrade terms:

    use the store listing for your platform and region, including its stated Advanced-to-Collector’s upgrade charge.

  • Storage after the season:

    the lasting status of beta box bonuses is not established here. Read the current expiration and storage rules before buying for box space.

  • Seasonal Prismana access:

    a featured pass reward alone establishes neither permanent exclusivity nor a guaranteed date for another acquisition route. Check the current encounter conditions.

  • Time remaining:

    review the actual season end, reward level and EXP available to you. Decide based on rewards you can realistically claim.

Frequently asked

Is my Handbook level the same as my Pathfinder level?

No. Companion EXP advances the Handbook reward track. Pathfinder level, Aniimo level and your purchased Handbook edition are separate values.

Does Collector’s include fifteen extra storage boxes?

The beta listing gave Collector’s ten extra boxes in total. Advanced’s five-box bonus is not added on top. Check the current season’s listing for its storage terms.

Does a paid edition immediately unlock every reward?

No. The edition controls access to the paid row, while Handbook levels control its reward milestones. An activation level boost only advances part of that progression.
