The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds an exciting layer of strategy to the game's open-world environment. Players can capture, train, and evolve a diverse range of pets that not only serve as adorable companions but also play crucial roles in battles and boost character attributes. This comprehensive guide delves into the intricacies of pet acquisition, growth, and effective use within the game.
Unlocking the Pet System
To unlock the Pet System, players need to reach base level 60. Once this level is achieved, a series of introductory quests will guide you through the steps of acquiring a slingshot, loading it, and accessing the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests marks the beginning of your journey into the fascinating world of pet collection and management.
How to Capture Pets?
The process of capturing pets is both straightforward and strategic. The system categorizes pets into different rarity tiers, each with its own probability of capture:
- S Tier (Very Rare): 1% chance
- A Tier (Rare): 10% chance
- B Tier (Normal): 89% chance

What is Pet Quality Transfer?
The Pet Quality Transfer feature allows players to enhance a pet's quality by transferring the attributes of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species. This method preserves the level and experience of the receiving pet. To perform a transfer, you need two pets of the same species, where one has a higher quality. A fee of 5,000 Zeny is required for this service, ensuring that players can upgrade their pets without losing progress.
Pet Awakening Skills
Pets in ROX can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat effectiveness. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which can only be obtained from the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The availability of these slots is determined by the pet's quality tier and star rank.
Pet Stamina Explained
Each pet in Ragnarok X: Next Generation has a stamina system, with a total of 720 stamina points, enabling 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is a critical resource for pet functionality, depleting at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is active. Unfortunately, this system prevents continuous use of your pet throughout the day.
For an enhanced gaming experience, consider playing Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger screen using your PC or laptop with BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
