The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a rich strategic dimension to the open-world gameplay, enabling players to capture, train, and evolve a diverse range of pets. These adorable companions not only enhance your adventures but also boost your character's attributes and aid in battles. This comprehensive guide delves into the mechanics of pet acquisition, development, and effective utilization in the game.
Unlocking the Pet System
To dive into the world of pets, players need to reach base level 60. Once you hit this level, you'll unlock a series of introductory quests that walk you through purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests marks the beginning of your pet-collecting journey.
How to Capture Pets?
Capturing pets is both simple and strategic. The system categorizes pets into different rarities, each with its own probability 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 Pet Quality Transfer, allowing players to enhance their pets. This involves transferring the quality of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species, while maintaining the level and experience of the recipient. You'll need two identical pets (same species), one with higher quality, and a fee of 5,000 Zeny. This system ensures that you can upgrade your pets without losing your hard-earned progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat effectiveness. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which can only be obtained from the Pet Book Vending Machine via the Gacha system. The availability of these slots is determined by the pet's quality tier and star rank.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in ROX comes with a stamina system, starting with 720 stamina points, which equates to 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is crucial as it governs how long your pet can assist you in the game. It depletes at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is active. Unfortunately, this means you can't keep your pet active for the entire day due to stamina limitations.
For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger screen using your PC or laptop via BlueStacks. This setup allows you to utilize your keyboard and mouse for a more precise and enjoyable gameplay experience.
