Ragnarok X: Next Generation Pet System Guide and Strategies

The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds a dynamic strategic element to the open-world experience, enabling players to capture, train, and evolve diverse 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 offers a detailed exploration of pet acquisition, development, and effective use within the game. 

Activating the Pet System

To unlock the Pet System, players must achieve base level 60. At this point, a series of starter quests become available, walking players through purchasing a slingshot, equipping it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests kicks off the exciting journey of pet collection and management.

How to Catch Pets?

Capturing pets is a simple yet tactical process. Pets are categorized into different rarity tiers, which determine their likelihood of appearing during capture. The quality of a captured pet is determined randomly, 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 while preserving progress.

Unlocking Pet Awakening Skills

Pets can access up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their battle performance. 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.

Pet Stamina Mechanics

Each pet has a stamina pool of 720 points, supporting 120 minutes of active use. Stamina is the core resource for pet functionality. Unfortunately, pets cannot remain active all day due to stamina limitations, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while in use.

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