In *Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX)*, the Pet System adds a captivating strategic dimension to the open-world adventure, enabling players to capture, nurture, and evolve an array of pets. These adorable companions not only assist in combat but also boost your character's attributes, making them indispensable allies. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, growth, and strategic use within the game, helping you maximize the potential of your furry friends.
Unlocking the Pet System
To unlock the Pet System in *ROX*, you need to reach a base level of 60. Once you hit this level, a set of introductory quests will guide you through the initial steps: purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and unlocking the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests is your ticket to start your exciting journey into pet collection and management.
How to Capture Pets?
Capturing pets is a simple yet strategic endeavor. The system categorizes pets into different rarity levels, which determine their appearance rates during capture attempts. The probabilities of obtaining each pet quality are as follows:
- 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 it from a higher-tier pet to another of the same species. This process preserves the level and experience of the receiving pet. To perform a transfer, you need two identical pets (same species), one with a higher quality, and you'll need to pay a fee of 5,000 Zeny. This mechanism ensures you can upgrade your pets without losing any progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Your pets can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat prowess. To unlock these slots, you'll need skill sheets, which can only be obtained from the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of slots available is determined by the pet's quality tier and star rank, making it crucial to strategize your pet's development.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in *ROX* comes with a stamina system, starting with 720 stamina points, which allows for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is the key resource that governs a pet's functionality. Unfortunately, you can't keep your pet active all day due to this stamina limitation. Stamina depletes at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is in use.
For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing *Ragnarok X: Next Generation* on a larger screen using your PC or laptop with BlueStacks, along with your keyboard and mouse. This setup can provide smoother gameplay and greater control over your adventures in the world of *ROX*.
