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, which not only serve as charming companions but also play crucial roles in battles and boost character attributes. This guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, development, and effective utilization within ROX.
To dive into the world of pets, players need to reach a base level of 60. Upon achieving this, a set of introductory quests will unlock, guiding you through the steps to acquire a slingshot, load it, and gain access to the Pet Encyclopedia. By completing these quests, you'll be ready to start your journey in pet collection and management.
Capturing pets in ROX is both simple and strategic. Pets are categorized into different rarities, affecting their appearance rates when you attempt to catch them. The rarity of the pet you obtain is randomized, with the following probabilities:
ROX offers a feature called Pet Quality Transfer, which allows players to elevate the quality of a pet by transferring the attributes of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species. This process keeps the recipient pet's level and experience intact. To perform a transfer, you need two identical pets (same species), with one being of higher quality. The transfer incurs a fee of 5,000 Zeny. This system ensures players can enhance their pets without losing progress.
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat prowess. To unlock these slots, players must acquire skill sheets, which are exclusively available from the Pet Book Vending Machine through the Gacha system. The number of slots that can be unlocked is contingent upon the pet's quality tier and star rank.
Each pet in ROX comes with 720 stamina points, enabling up to 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is the vital resource that governs a pet's functionality. Unfortunately, the stamina system prevents pets from being active throughout the day, as stamina depletes at a rate of one point every 10 seconds when the pet is in use.
