Ragnarok X: Next-Generation Pet Mastery Guide

In Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX), the Pet System adds a strategic layer to the open-world experience, enabling players to capture, train, and evolve a diverse lineup of pets that aid in combat and boost character stats. These adorable companions are available for every player to catch, hatch, and deploy in battle. This guide explores the mechanics of obtaining, developing, and using pets effectively in the game.

Unlocking the Pet System

To unlock the Pet System, players must reach base level 60. Once this level is achieved, a chain of introductory quests becomes available. These quests explain how to buy a slingshot, load it, and unlock the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these tasks gives players access to pet collection and management features.

How to Capture Pets?

Capturing pets is a simple yet strategic process. Under the new system, pets are grouped by rarity, which determines their appearance rate during capture. The quality of the pet you receive is random, with the following probabilities:

S Tier (Very Rare): 1% chance A Tier (Rare): 10% chance B Tier (Normal): 89% chance

What is Pet Quality Transfer?

Players can transfer the quality of a higher-tier pet to another pet of the same species while keeping the target pet’s level and experience intact. This process requires two identical pets—one with superior quality—and costs 5,000 Zeny. The transfer allows players to improve their pets’ quality without losing progress.

Pet Awakening Skills

Pets can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, boosting their combat effectiveness. These slots require skill sheets, obtainable only from the Pet Book Vending Machine (a Gacha system). The number of available slots depends on the pet's quality tier and star rank.

Pet Stamina Explained

Pets have a stamina system, with each one possessing 720 stamina points—enough for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is the key resource governing all pet activities. Unfortunately, you can't keep a pet active the entire day due to stamina limitations. Stamina decreases by one point every 10 seconds while the pet is active.

You can also play Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger PC or laptop screen using BlueStacks, with full keyboard and mouse support.
