Ragnarok X: Next Generation's Pet System adds strategic depth to the open-world experience, enabling players to collect, train, and evolve diverse pets that boost combat effectiveness and character stats. These adorable companions are available to all players for capturing, hatching, and battle deployment. Our comprehensive guide explores pet acquisition, growth mechanics, and tactical usage.
Activating the Pet System
Players unlock the Pet System upon reaching level 60. This triggers introductory quests that teach slingshot usage, ammo loading, and Pet Encyclopedia access. Completing these missions grants full access to pet collection and management features.
Pet Capture Mechanics
Pet capturing follows a tier-based rarity system where encounter chances vary by pet quality. The capture outcome is random with these probabilities:
S Tier (Ultra Rare): 1% chance A Tier (Rare): 10% chance B Tier (Common): 89% chance
Quality Transfer Feature
Players can transfer superior qualities between identical pet species while retaining the recipient pet's level and experience. This upgrade requires two matching pets (one higher quality) and costs 5,000 Zeny, allowing progression without resetting pet development.
Awakening Skill System
Pets can activate up to four awakening skill slots that significantly improve battle performance. These slots require skill sheets exclusively obtained from the Pet Book Gacha machine, with available slots determined by the pet's quality tier and star rank.
Understanding Pet Stamina
Each pet operates on a stamina system with 720 points, permitting 120 minutes of active deployment time. Stamina serves as the core resource governing pet functionality, preventing indefinite usage. Consumption occurs at 1 point per 10 seconds during active periods.
For optimal gameplay, consider running Ragnarok X: Next Generation on PC via BlueStacks to enjoy expanded screen real estate and precision controls.
