The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a fascinating strategic dimension to the game's open-world experience. Players can capture, train, and evolve a wide array of pets, which not only serve as adorable companions but also play a crucial role in battles and enhancing character attributes. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, development, and their effective utilization within ROX.
Unlocking the Pet System
To dive into the world of pets, players need to achieve base level 60. Upon reaching this level, a set of introductory quests will unlock, guiding you through the steps of acquiring a slingshot, loading it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Successfully completing these quests marks the beginning of your pet collection and management journey.
How to Capture Pets?
The process of capturing pets is both straightforward and strategic. Pets in ROX are categorized into different rarities, each with varying probabilities of being caught:
- S Tier (Very Rare): 1% chance
- A Tier (Rare): 10% chance
- B Tier (Normal): 89% chance
What is Pet Quality Transfer?
A unique feature in ROX is the ability to transfer the quality of a higher-tier pet to another pet of the same species. This process preserves the level and experience of the recipient pet, requiring two identical pets—one of which must be of higher quality. The transfer incurs a fee of 5,000 Zeny, enabling players to upgrade their pets without losing progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat prowess. Unlocking these slots involves acquiring skill sheets from the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of available slots is determined by the pet's quality tier and star rank, adding depth to pet development strategies.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in ROX comes with a stamina system, totaling 720 stamina points, which allows for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is a crucial resource for pet functionality, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is in use. This system ensures that pets cannot be used continuously throughout the day, adding a layer of strategy to pet management.
