Pet Info 101

Recommended Posts

A LOT of people in this game don't think twice about this, but having a pet is VERY important in this game.

SB provide a free pet, once you pass level 10, and it's called Madfly. This pet is very limited and should not be used at all, unless you have no other choice (and there are SO many choices). Madfly is limited to a max level of 20, while any other pet will be able to go up to L40.
Beyond the amusing chat that pets provide, as you play, they provide an important role of boosting your stats. As pets level, they provide more HP and SP and also the ability to add pet chips to further enhance your game play. For example, a pet at L30 will give you 3000hp and a pet at L40 will give you an extra 8000hp and 770sp.
 

This should now be updated to reflect the fact that the NEW Madfly will now provide 3000hp, at level 30. Ideally you want a real pet, but the updated Madfly was provided in an updated starter package and is also given to new toons now.


How does your pet level?!

Your pet gains experiences while he has been summoned. If you have a pet, but don't summon it, it will not gain any exp. The "Y" button is the default pet window. you can use that to summon, upgrade, feed and check your pet's status. You have the option to have multiple pets, but never do this. concentrate on one pet per character.

While your pet is summoned, it gains exp per 2 mins of play time. This is before an additional boosts that you may have. There is a pet exp boost chip that can add 2 exp for L1. Premium Medallions add 2 exp per tick. There is also pet exp boosting items like a Pet Experience booster that gives +15 exp for 30mins and so forth.

Certain quests can drop pet exp drinks that can give 300/500/1000 exp boosts. When your toon hits L30, you are actually given 4x 4000exp boosters.

Starting in Mereholt, you have access to the lounge, the point of that area is for pet acceleration. There are two areas, the main lounge increases your exp gain by 50% The VIP room (costs 2.5G to access), increases that further to 100% more. That's why you see people in VIP a lot. There is also access through Ellis and Nemesis.

So just to add some additional on to this. When you are in Nemesis L39+, you do receive a bonus of +8 to your pet exp. When you are L50+, you can head on over to Ellis and go for the +12 bonus. When you are Suer, which is L39+, it gives you a +25 bonus.

In the VIP room, you can purchase an item called the Glass of Love. It costs 1g and can only be activated in the lounge/VIP. It adds a +5 exp bonus for 3hrs. A really cheap pet boost, in my opinion!

Pet Food and loss

Your pet will burn through 4% of it's energy every 5mins. So without any feeding, your pet will last you 2hrs and 5mins before it will run out you and it will disappear. You can feed your pet with pet scraps that give varying amounts of energy. Pet Hacks provide 12hrs of not having to feed your pet. That timer stops when you are logged out. If you have lots of them, keep your pet in the VIP/Lounge while you sleep/work/school, so you level your pet.

Pet Chips

Every 5th level, you can upgrade your pet and that will open up an additional pet chip slot. Even if you do not have a pet chip to put in, you need to make sure that you upgrade your pet. Otherwise your pet will not gain any additional levels until you do. By the time your pet hits L40, you will have 11 chip slots open. There is a Pet Expansion (IF it becomes available) item that can be purchased with gold or via VGN, that opens an additional pet chip slot. That can be used even at level 1, giving you a max of 12 total pet chips to use.

There are many chips in this game that give you a wide range of skill boosts. The one most people should get is the Fetch chip, that will make your pet pick up all your drops, saving you the trouble of doing it yourself. Other things like SP/CP/HP regeneration chips, Defense, Atk, and a multitude of others are available to buy with gold or VGN. Most Level 1 chips can be purchased through the webstore for 2k VGN each (at the time of this post) Some of the ones to consider buying are CP regen and fetch.

Pet chips can only be changed when your pet is summoned. Unused pet chips go in the AP tab of your inventory, so don't try and drag them to your main inventory window, it won't work :)

Also, when you pet hits that 5th level, make sure that you "upgrade" your pet (in the Pet window) or it will not gain additional exp until that is completed.

 

TL:DR version: Get a damn pet! :D

Hello Dr. I like your guide, and find it to have very useful information. I do have two suggestions/tidbits that might make it better though.

1.) Madfly can actually get up to level 30, not max at 20.

2.) Maybe add in how to get different pets other than Madfly. It doesn't have to be extensive or contain every detail, but even saying that you can potentially buy them from the Auction House or VGN store would be useful to new players. (Keep in mind that I actually don't know how to get other pets myself, so my examples could be wrong.)

Other than that, good work.
