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. 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.
A list of treasure coffer locations and rewards can be found here.

FATEs
- 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).
Dialogue
System: The persistent pot seems to be thirsty for elixir. Use a magical elixir to slake its thirst and discover the whereabouts of treasure. Persistent Pot: Gimme an elixir! Gimme one, and I'll make it worth your while! Persistent Pot: Elixir, my dear ambrosia! Persistent Pot: Thank you for the elixir! Take care, and good luck!
Persistent Pot Coffers

To interpret the above 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.
