Persistent Pot
Afflicted with an insatiable appetite for elixirs, these diminutive creatures are technically soulkin, although their habits and life cycle are little understood. As such, alternative theories concerning their nature abound, chief among them the notion that they are in fact a species of voidsent related to the imp. Equally, debates rage regarding their thirst for elixir. Some naturalists posit that the need is nutritional, while others suggest the creatures simply enjoy burdening their interlocutors with unreasonable demands. Perhaps one day science will produce a compelling answer.
— Occult Record: Persistent Pot
Persistent Pot is a Soulkin in Occult Crescent.
Persistent Pots are involved in two FATEs in The Occult Crescent: South Horn and two FATEs in The Occult Crescent: North Horn. They function very similarly to the Happy Bunnies in The Forbidden Land, Eureka.
Up to 20 players who receive a gold rating in a FATE they are involved in have a chance to receive the 
Cache Me If You Can buff, which lasts 15 minutes. If more than 20 players qualify, only 20 will be randomly selected for the buff. If the buff timer expires, the Persistent Pot or player is incapacitated, the player leaves the instance or joins a Critical Encounter, the minigame will end prematurely.
When this status is in effect, a Persistent Pot will follow the player and guide them to treasure each time the Magical Elixir key item is used. This item can be used indefinitely by clicking the item icon underneath the duty information UI. Each time the item is used, a location and a rough distance will be indicated as a system message, guiding the player to a hidden treasure coffer. Using the item when in proximity to the treasure coffer will reveal it. (Note: This is not the consumable Occult Elixir item.)
Treasure coffers can be bronze (~50%), silver (~40%), or gold (~10%), in order of increasing rarity. Higher tier coffers provide better rewards.
Once the treasure coffer is opened, there is a small chance (~10%) that the Persistent Pot will offer to repeat the minigame and lead the player to a second hidden coffer, which is guaranteed to be gold. Note that the second bonus chest will always be in the sections of the map containing high-level enemies, above the knowledge level cap of the zone.
A list of treasure coffer locations and rewards can be found here.

FATEs
Persistent Pots are highly desirable due to their rewards, so it is common for players to ask for respawn timers in an instance. A common format is X:AA N and X:BB S, corresponding to the Persistent Pots (north) and Pleading Pots (south) FATEs in the South Horn, or to Daylight Pottery (north) or In a Pot of Bother (south) in the North Horn. For example, X:15 N, X:45 S means that the north FATE will spawn at 15 minutes on the hour for the player's local time, and the south FATE will spawn at 45 minutes on the hour.
South Horn
- Persistent Pots (north)
- Pleading Pots (south)
A pot FATE spawns every 30 minutes and alternates between the two. In a fresh instance, the first pot FATE will spawn after 10 minutes and will always be the north one (Persistent Pots).
North Horn
- Daylight Pottery (north)
- In a Pot of Bother (south)
A pot FATE spawns every 30 minutes and alternates between the two. In a fresh instance, the first pot FATE will spawn after 20 minutes and will always be the north one (Daylight Pottery).

South Horn
To interpret the below maps, check which direction the pot leads you by using the Magical Elixir key item after completing the FATE, then check the compass rose for which color the direction corresponds to. The possible coffer locations correspond to the color. The left map corresponds to Persistent Pots, while the right map corresponds to Pleading Pots.
When the player reaches the coffer location, there is an uncommon chance (~10%) for the pot to offer to repeat the minigame and lead the player to a second treasure coffer, which is guaranteed to be gold. The following map shows possible bonus coffer locations. These are in high-leveled areas where the player should avoid fighting the enemies. If the player has a knowledge level > 20, the enemies will aggro based on the player's true knowledge level instead of their synced level of 20 in South Horn, meaning that players with a knowledge level of 29+ will easily avoid aggroing any enemy in these locations.

Tips
- If the pot leads you into a high-leveled area in the South Horn (either the southwest Abandoned Ascent structure or the deeper part of the Crystallized Caverns in the west) or the North Horn (the corners of the map), using Hide on
Ninja can allow you to safely sneak past the enemies.
- Note: This does not work on certain enemies that spawn in the North Horn at night, such as the Crescent Necrodium.
- Some enemies, like the Crescent Haagenti (24) in the South Horn's Crystalline Caverns, have have sound aggro and can be avoided by walking past them.
- Players can toggle run/walk. The default keybind is Numpad
/.
- Players can toggle run/walk. The default keybind is Numpad
- If the player has a knowledge level > 20, enemies will aggro based on the player's true knowledge level instead of their synced level of 20 in South Horn, meaning that players with a knowledge level of 29+ will easily avoid aggroing any enemy in these locations.
