The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a dynamic strategic element to the open-world experience, enabling players to capture, train, and evolve diverse pets that aid in combat and boost character stats. These charming companions can be caught, hatched, and deployed in battles by all players. This guide explores the mechanics of acquiring, developing, and utilizing pets in the game.
Unlocking the Pet System
To unlock the Pet System, players must achieve base level 60. At this point, a series of introductory quests become available, guiding players through purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests allows players to begin their pet collection and management journey.
How to Capture Pets?
Capturing pets is a simple yet tactical process. Pets are categorized into different rarity tiers, which determine their likelihood of appearing during capture. The quality of the captured pet 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?
Players can transfer the quality of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species, retaining the recipient pet’s level and experience. This process requires two identical pets (same species), with one having superior quality. A fee of 5,000 Zeny is charged for the transfer, allowing players to enhance their pets without losing progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, boosting their combat effectiveness. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, available exclusively through the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of available slots depends on the pet’s quality tier and star rank.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet has a stamina pool of 720 points, equivalent to 120 minutes of active use. Stamina is the primary resource governing pet functionality. Unfortunately, pets cannot remain active all day due to stamina limitations, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while active.
Players can enjoy Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger PC or laptop screen using BlueStacks, with full keyboard and mouse support.
