The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds an exciting strategic dimension to the game's open-world experience. Players can capture, train, and evolve a diverse array of pets that not only serve as adorable companions but also play crucial roles in battles and boost character stats. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, development, and effective utilization within ROX.
Unlocking the Pet System
To unlock the Pet System, players need to reach base level 60. Once this level is achieved, a series of introductory quests will guide you through the steps of acquiring a slingshot, loading it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests paves the way for an engaging journey into pet collection and management.
How to Capture Pets?
Capturing pets in ROX is both straightforward and strategic. The system categorizes pets into different rarities, influencing the probability of catching them:
- S Tier (Very Rare): 1% chance
- A Tier (Rare): 10% chance
- B Tier (Normal): 89% chance
What is Pet Quality Transfer?
Players can enhance their pets through a process known as Pet Quality Transfer. This allows the transfer of higher-tier pet quality to another pet of the same species, maintaining the recipient's level and experience. To perform this transfer, you need two identical pets, one of higher quality, and you'll need to pay a fee of 5,000 Zeny. This feature enables players to upgrade their pets without losing hard-earned progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly enhancing their combat prowess. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which are exclusively available through the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of slots your pet can unlock depends on its quality tier and star rank, adding a layer of strategy to pet development.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in Ragnarok X: Next Generation has a stamina system, with a total of 720 stamina points, allowing for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is crucial for pet functionality, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is in use. Unfortunately, this means you cannot keep your pet active for an entire day due to stamina limitations.
