Dara's Darlings
After several weeks of preparation and minion readying, Dara’s Darlings is now open in Shengui Guo’s floating market! Dara is very particular about his minions, and is much happier to part with them if they really bond to a potential new owner. Visit his boat today to see which minions he has for adoption.
Dara won’t always have the same minions in stock, and they’re likely to change each day as he doesn’t like to stress them out by keeping them all in the boat at once for days on end! So make sure to keep checking back each day to see which minions he’s brought with him, or continue bonding with minions that you’ve already met!
Note: Bonding with a minion will make it cheaper in price, as Dara is happier to see his minions go with somebody who has bonded with them. You will need to check back every day until you have bonded fully with the minion or it will forget you!

Oh and I haven't seen one yet that you can just buy, whenever I go there they ALL say to bond. So no way to tell if I give up on this one (it's been 4 days) whether the next one I choose will also need a week to bond. Grrr. :(
Also the alerts don't seem to be working, every time I go there I "set alert" but I never get one. :(
@Amber, thanks but I've already put a couple days into this one and the next one I choose might have the same time limit wait. :)
It's not hard to tell which ones are 'special' since those require bonding before you can buy them. The others you can instantly buy at 50k. The 'special' minions will have a note when picked for bonding that they're as of yet too scared of you. So you have to come back again the next day (the the days after XD). Not too hard to figure out.. ^^
@Amber Yes I saw that, but didn't know the minion I chose was one of those. It would be nice if they were marked or something. I would have picked a different one if I'd known.

@StarShadow The blurb at the top of the page tells you that there are a few special minions that require a lot of bonding before you can take them. :)
@Amber
It's Xingyun. Maybe it should say for each minion which ones require days to bond with. Thanks for letting me know.

@StarShadow Which minion are you bonding with? Only a few special minions make you wait. You can outright buy most of them for 50k (unless you bond with them for cheaper prices). The special ones make you bond for a few days, that’s just how it is. :)
I don't understand how so many people already have these, I've been "bonding" for 2 days and he just keeps saying to come back. How did others get theirs right away? Don't like this being told to wait over and over.
Argh, how long does it take? I've been "bonding" with the same one since the minute this 1st started. It was cute at first but now it's become really annoying. :(
I might be blind but I can't seem to find the option where I cauy buy a minion straight away. All I see is the 'Bon with' red button!
(Either way though, I think the idea of bonding is cute!)

All the mythology references!!! And Totoro! It's Totoro! I want them all! Thank you, Subeta!
I bought the fox right away at 50K, but now I'm bonding with a lunar rabbit, because I want Dara to love me...., seriously..., i need to get a life. The Baku is so cute though, how can I wait?!!! Love the bonding adoption system though.
This is cute and I love the little guys. But 50k seems super cheap. Not encouraging much bonding imo. 50k is nothin'! :)
Aww I really want a . Don't see one now. Better check back tomorrow. :3 What a unique idea of having to "bond". :o
Oh my... My best friend and I were squealing because of the baku. That's what you get when you play a baku in an rpg...you are hyped because of every single baku everywhere. |D
Awwww that lunar rabbit is so cute. Love the poetry reference! (I've really appreciated the attempt at including more cultures on here.)
nice move to elude the common/mundane/rare/super rare categorizaton and the restocking problem some shops have.
Oh man, /finally/ some Japanese mythology minions! (Besides the kappa and various kitsune, I guess. But where are the tanuki familiars? Are people afraid of finding tasteful ways to depict them? :p)
A karakasa and an oni and a lunar rabbit and a baku and even a yatagarasu, oh my! They're all so lovely, I need them so much oh man.

Oh my...the ability for a pet to be bonded with a minion over time instead of in an instant? My currently minion-less babies are leaping about in joy <3
Currently bonding with the Lunar Rabbit (for -Starlight- as she is obsessed with the moon and stars), but I must, at some point, have that Tianlu.
I've been meaning to buy another lot of CSC for a new pet slot, and now I have many reasons toI May or may not be a priggle based on my 'sona who has an affinity for anything dragon-y and awesome =D
I do believe I know where part of my Christmas bonus is going this year (ALL THE CSC!!!) =D

I hope all of these new shops have their own interesting quirks like these first ones have.
So many awesome new minions!

@Speiro For me the 200KsP price that the hover said it was officially worth wouldn't have stopped me from outright purchasing a minion there, I have a big shop and gotta spend that sP somewhere. NPC Dara just didn't let me buy it outright. So I get you about the 50K thing.
If the totally-bonded price is low enough, then there's reselling profit. While this profit may not be so great especially for a one-at-a-time deal, folks do do the Item Hunt. Also users might do it even if it's not required because it's fun and fills in the stories for their virtual pet?
We don't know how much the price of the Special minions might be, right now nobody can buy the only one on offer. It could be that they cost more than 50K. A LOT more.
