Overview

Pets are creatures that help you in combat.
Pets can use special items and skills.
There are 6 pets available: Kookaburra, Tiger, Wolf, Buffalo, Hawk, Dragon. Each of them has unique skills. To learn more, see: Pet Skills .
The pet management UI shows a pet's stats, skills, equipment and satiety level. To learn more, see: Pet Summon .
Pets gain XP while hunting alongside their owner, and level up when gaining enough XP. When they reach certain levels, they evolve. To learn more, see: Pet Level Up .
Pets can be summoned in regular hunting zones, but also at the world server, in the Olympiad and instance zones.
Unlike servitors, pets need to be fed. A hungry pet does not obey its owner.
Pets can be summoned with special items. You must have them in your inventory for the summoning to work.
A pet's power can be extracted in order to obtain Pet XP Crystals. These crystals can then be used to grant XP to other pets.
The game has a separate Pet Ranking that can be seen in the tab of the same name in the Rankings UI.

Summoning Items

To obtain a pet summoning item, you have to kill both the boss monster named Atingo and his pet.
Atingo appears randomly in the following hunting zones: Plains of the Lizardmen, Dragon Valley, Tower of Insolence, Orc Barracks.
- Atingo always summons a pet to help him fight.
- As a reward for defeating Atingo and his pet, you obtain a sealed pet necklace that lets you summon a pet of the same type.
- Atingo may summon a Sin Eater instead of pets to help him. You don't get a necklace if you kill Sin Eater.

Atingo's Pet	Summoning Item
Kookaburra	Kookaburra's Necklace
Tiger	Tiger's Necklace
Wolf	Wolf's Necklace
Buffalo	Buffalo's Necklace
Hawk	Hawk's Necklace
Dragon	Dragon's Necklace

Pet Summon

A pet is summoned when using its necklace. To unsummon it, use the 'Recall Pet' button in the Pet UI.
The necklace also displays the pet's name, its level and evolution level.
There are some restrictions for summoning a pet:
- You can only summon one pet at a time.
- You can have both a pet and a servitor summoned simultaneously.
- You cannot summon a pet while in combat.
- You cannot control a pet that is 20 levels higher than you.
- You cannot summon a pet while riding a Wyvern. If a pet has already been summoned, it disappears when you mount.
A pet doesn't lose XP upon dying, but its owner gets a debuff. Should they summon another pet, the debuff is tranferred to them.
When you summon a pet again after its death, its HP/MP will be restored.
If you die when a pet is with you, the pet will be unsummoned.

Pet Level Up

When a pet participates in combat, it gains XP and grows stronger.
When a pet is summoned, two special panels appear: one for Beast Soulshots/Spiritshots, and the other for pet potions where you can specify when these should be used.
Don't forget to feed your pet: Its satiety level is decreasing when it is with you. It goes down at even faster rate in combat.
- If a pet's satiety is lower than 50%, penalties are applied.
- A pet cannot be summoned if its satiety is below 1%.
- If a pet's satiety drops to 0, it stops fighting and no longer obeys its owner.
- Use Pet Food to restore a pet's satiety (can be used automatically).
When a pet's owner gains XP for killing monsters, a part of it goes to their pet.
- If a pet is 11 or more levels higher than a monster, neither a pet nor its owner acquires XP or loot for killing.
Some buffs used by the owner apply to their pet as well.
- XP bonus buffs from skills and items are applied both to the owner and their pet.
The Sayha's Grace effect also applies to the pet.
- If the owner doesn't have Sayha's Grace, the penalty for that is also applied to their pet.
- The amount of consumed Sayha's Grace depends on the amount of XP the owner or their pet acquires.
- If XP is only acquired by a pet, the amount of consumed Sayha's Grace depends on the amount of XP that the pet gains.
The amount of XP acquired by pets can be increased with a buff from the Bee Hive zone or from an item called Pet's XP Growth Scroll.

Buff/item	Effects	How to obtain
Pet Growth Effect	P. Accuracy +30, M. Accuracy +30, acquired XP +100%. Removed when a pet dies or is recalled.	Hunting in Bee Hive with a pet
Pet's XP Growth Scroll	Pet's acquired XP +30%. Duration: 20 min. Cooldown: 1 min. Removed when a pet dies or is recalled.	Opening Tag's Supplies

You may also use Pet XP Crystals to grant XP to your pets.
These crystals may vary according to their effect: Low-grade Pet XP Crystal, Pet XP Crystal, Improved Pet XP Crystal.
- To get a Pet XP Crystal or an Improved Pet XP Crystal, you need to extract a pet's power with the help of NPCs Lemper and Cooper.
- Low-grade Pet XP Crystal can be found in Tag's Supplies.
You can extract power from pets under the following conditions:
- Power can only be extracted from pets whose level is between 50 and 90.
- You can't extract power from summoned pets or pets with equipment.
- When you extract power from a pet, you extract all of its XP. The pet disappears in the process.
Upon extracting power you get a Pet XP Crystal. The crystal type is determined by the level of the pet it's been extracted from:

Pet level	XP Crystal
50-81	Pet XP Crystal
82-90	Improved Pet XP Crystal

Each crystal grants a certain amount of XP to a summoned pet:

Crystal	XP
Low-grade Pet XP Crystal	1,000,000
Pet XP Crystal	100,000,000
Improved Pet XP Crystal	2,000,000,000

Pet Evolution

All pets can evolve. Initially a pet is at stage 0 of the evolution (1 star in the Pet window), then it can evolve up to stage 2.

Pet level	Evolution stage	Required item
Lv. 40	1st	Regular Pet Training Guide
Lv. 76	2nd	Advanced Pet Training Guide

To evolve a pet when it reaches the required level, press the Evolution button in the Pet UI.
- Your Pet Training Guide (either Regular or Advanced) needs to be in your inventory.
- The Evolution button is not available before reaching Lv. 40 and 76.

When a pet evolves, its appearance changes.
After reaching the 1st evolution stage, a pet gets a random name modifier and a passive skill that increases a random stat by +1, +2 or +3.
Upon the 2nd evolution higher-level pet skills become available.

Pet Items

Pets can use equipment for characters: weapons, helmets, upper armor, lower armor, gloves, shoes, necklaces, rings and earrings (no more than 2 rings and 2 earrings at a time).
Pets cannot use enchanted weapons, equipment with random stats, event items, time-limited or training equipment.
When an equipment piece is given to a pet, its active skills are unavailable.
When in combat, a pet makes a basic melee attack regardless of the equipped weapon type.
Some equipment's properties differ from their description and are re-calculated according to new standards.
Some stats - P. Accuracy, Atk. Spd., P. Critical Rate - are fixed regardless of the equipped weapon type.
Each pet type requires a specific weapon:

Pet	Weapon type	Buff (with a weapon equipped)	Debuff (without a weapon equipped)
Kookaburra	Rapier / Blunt	M. Atk. +10%/+20%/+30%/+35%/+40%	Atk. Spd. / Casting Spd. -10%
Tiger	Dagger	P. Atk. +5%/+7%/+10%/+15%/+20% Vital Point Attack Rate +10%/+15%/+20%/+25%/+30%	Atk. Spd. / Casting Spd. -10%

Pets can use firearms, but they don't get either buffs or debuffs for them.
Participating in the Purge lets you obtain special weapons that increase pets' P./M. Atk. when equipped. To learn more about Purge weapons, see: Purge .
Pets can use Beast Spiritshots and Soulshots as well as special potions that can be bought from NPC Cooper in Giran and Lemper in Aden:

Item	Cost
Beast Spiritshot	55 adena + castle tax
Beast Soulshot	22 adena + castle tax
Pet's HP Potion (Exchangeable)	132 adena + castle tax
Pet Food	2200 adena + castle tax

The number of Beast Soulshots/Spiritshots consumed depends on a pet's level:

Pet level	Consumption
1-75	1
76+	2

The potion auto-use mode can be enabled in the Pet window. The health level at which potions are used is changed manually.
Pet's XP Growth Scroll can only be obtained from Tag's Supplies.

Pet Skills

Pets have their own skills. To learn more about them, use the Skills button in the Pet UI.
- Upon clicking the Skills button, the list of available skills appears. You can check their cost and learn them at will.
Skills become more powerful as a pet levels up.
