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 an array of adorable pets that not only serve as charming companions but also play a crucial role in battles by boosting character attributes. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, development, and strategic utilization within the game.
To unlock the Pet System, players need to achieve base level 60. Once this level is reached, a series of introductory quests become available, guiding players through essential steps such as purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and unlocking the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests sets the stage for an exciting journey into pet collection and management.
Capturing pets in ROX is both simple and strategic. The game categorizes pets into various rarities, influencing the likelihood of capturing them:
The Pet Quality Transfer feature allows players to enhance a pet's quality by transferring it from a higher-tier pet of the same species to another. This process, which requires two identical pets (one of higher quality) and a fee of 5,000 Zeny, preserves the level and experience of the recipient pet. It's an effective way for players to upgrade their pets without losing any progress.
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat effectiveness. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which are exclusively available from the Pet Book Vending Machine (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.
Each pet in the game has a stamina system, starting with 720 stamina points, which allows for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is crucial for pet functionality, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds when the pet is active. Unfortunately, this means pets cannot be used continuously throughout the day due to stamina limitations.
