The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a delightful and strategic layer to the game's open-world experience. It allows players to capture, train, and evolve a variety of pets that not only serve as adorable companions but also play a crucial role in battles and enhance character attributes. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, development, and utilization in ROX.
Unlocking the Pet System
To dive into the world of pets, players need to reach base level 60. Once this milestone is achieved, a series of engaging introductory quests become available. These quests guide players through the essential steps of purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and unlocking the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests is the key that opens the door to a thrilling journey of pet collection and management.
How to Capture Pets?
Capturing pets in ROX is both straightforward and strategically engaging. The game categorizes pets into different rarities, determining their appearance when caught. The quality of the pet you obtain is subject to chance, 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 ability to transfer the quality of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species. This transfer preserves the level and experience of the recipient pet, ensuring that players can enhance their pets without losing progress. To perform this transfer, players need two identical pets (of the same species), with one of higher quality. A fee of 5,000 Zeny is required for this process, making it a thoughtful decision for players looking to optimize their pet's potential.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat abilities. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which are exclusively available from the Pet Book Vending Machine via the Gacha system. The number of slots a pet can unlock is determined by its quality tier and star rank, adding a layer of strategy to pet development.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in ROX comes with a stamina system, featuring 720 stamina points that allow for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is the vital resource that powers your pet's activities. Unfortunately, the stamina system limits how long a pet can be used in a day, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is active.
For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Ragnarok X: Next Generation on the larger screen of their PC or laptop using BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse. This setup not only offers a more immersive gameplay experience but also provides strategic advantages in managing your pets and navigating the open world of ROX.
