The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a dynamic layer to open-world gameplay, enabling players to capture, train, and evolve 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 effectively in the game. 

Activating the Pet System

To unlock the Pet System, players must reach base level 60. At this point, introductory quests guide players through purchasing a slingshot, loading it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests allows players to start collecting and managing pets.

How to Catch Pets?

Capturing pets is a simple yet tactical process. Pets are categorized by rarity tiers, which determine their appearance during capture. The quality of a captured pet is random, with the following probabilities:

Understanding 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, and costs 5,000 Zeny. The transfer allows players to enhance their pets without losing progress.

Unlocking Pet Awakening Skills

Pets can gain up to four awakening skill slots to boost their combat abilities. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, available only through the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of slots depends on the pet’s quality tier and star rank.

Understanding Pet Stamina

Each pet has a stamina pool of 720 points, equivalent to 120 minutes of active use. Stamina is the core resource for pet functionality, but it prevents continuous use throughout the day. It depletes at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is active.

Players can enhance their Ragnarok X: Next Generation experience by playing on a larger PC or laptop screen using BlueStacks, with full keyboard and mouse support.
