The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a fascinating strategic dimension to the game's open-world environment. Players can capture, train, and evolve an array of pets that not only serve as adorable companions but also provide crucial assistance in battles and boost character attributes. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of acquiring, developing, and utilizing pets within ROX.
Unlocking the Pet System
To unlock the Pet System, players need to reach base level 60. At this level, a series of introductory quests will become accessible, guiding you through the essential steps of purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and unlocking the Pet Encyclopedia. Successfully completing these quests will set you on the exciting path of pet collection and management.
How to Capture Pets?
Capturing pets is both straightforward and strategic. The system categorizes pets into various rarities, influencing their capture probabilities:
- S Tier (Very Rare): 1% chance
- A Tier (Rare): 10% chance
- B Tier (Normal): 89% chance
What is Pet Quality Transfer?
The Pet Quality Transfer feature allows players to enhance a pet's quality by transferring the attributes of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species. To perform this transfer, you'll need two identical pets—one with superior quality. This process incurs a fee of 5,000 Zeny. The advantage is that the recipient pet retains its current level and experience, allowing for upgrades without setbacks.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat effectiveness. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which players can acquire from the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of available slots is contingent on the pet's quality tier and star rank.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in Ragnarok X: Next Generation has a stamina system, with a total of 720 stamina points, enabling 120 minutes of active use. Stamina is a critical resource for pet functionality, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds during active deployment. This means pets cannot be used continuously throughout the day due to the stamina system's limitations.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger screen using BlueStacks on their PC or laptop, complete with keyboard and mouse controls.
