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 diverse range of pets that not only serve as adorable companions but also play a crucial role in battles and boost character attributes. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of acquiring, developing, and effectively utilizing pets within ROX.
Unlocking the Pet System
To dive into the world of pet management, players need to reach base level 60. Once this level is achieved, a set of introductory quests becomes available, guiding you through the steps to purchase a slingshot, load it, and unlock the Pet Encyclopedia. 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 are categorized into different rarities, which determine their appearance when you attempt to catch them. The rarity of the pet you obtain is randomized, with the following probabilities:
- 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 the quality of a pet by transferring it from a higher-tier pet of the same species. This process requires two identical pets, with one being of higher quality, and incurs a fee of 5,000 Zeny. The transfer preserves the level and experience of the recipient pet, enabling players to upgrade their pets without losing progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly enhancing their combat abilities. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which can only be obtained from the Pet Book Vending Machine through the Gacha system. The number of available 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 allows for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is the key resource for pet functionality, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is active. This system ensures that pets cannot be used continuously throughout the day.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger screen using their PC or laptop with BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
