Pet System

Basics

A cute pet is a tamed monster which will follow you throughout Rune-Midgard to keep you company and empty your wallet. They have no special skills, except when loyal (what action they do varies). There are several different types of Cute Pets with varying levels of difficulty to obtain and maintain (keep fed). Pets which achieve a Cordial or above level of Intimacy will provide their owner with certain bonuses while accompanying them.

You can only change your pet's name ONCE using the 'Pet Status' (Alt+J) menu. So, please be careful when deciding your pet's name.

Obtaining A Pet

To get a pet, you will need to have a pet taming item and an Pet Incubator . Incubators can be purchased from various pet NPCs in most major towns. Pet taming items must be obtained via monster drops or some special items/quests. Refer to the chart below to see what is needed for each pet.

To use a taming item, double click on it in the item window. When you see the monster you want to tame on the screen, hover the circle over the monster, and click. A slot machine will appear and you must click again to get a chance at taming the monster. If you fail, you lose the taming item and get no pet. If you succeed, you will use the taming item and receive a pet egg.

Once you have obtained a pet egg, use a Pet Incubator (sold by pet NPC in major towns) to hatch it. To hatch the egg, click on the Incubator and a small menu will appear like the one you get when you use a magnifier. Click on the pet you wish to hatch and it will appear. It is a good idea to have food handy when you open the egg for the first time because the pet will be hungry.

Taming Chance

The following formula sums up the Taming Chance calculated every time you attempt to tame a pet.

Catch rate = ( BaseRate + ( BaseLv - MonsterLv)*30 + Luk*20 ) * (200 - Monster's HP % left) / 100

Making a calculation based on a Lv 99 Character with 50LUK, capturing a Poring with 25% HP left reads:

Catch rate = ( 2000 + ( 99 - 1 )*30 + 50*20 ) * ( 200 - 25 ) / 100

( 2000 + 2940 + 1000 ) * 175 / 100 = 10395 = 103.95%

Capturing a 100% HP Bapho Jr. with a Lv 70 Character with 10LUK leads to:

( 200 + 600 + 200 ) * 100 / 100 = 1000 = 10%

Raising a Pet

The first thing that should be done is check the hunger status, in case the pet needs feeding. If it's not fed in a timely manner, it will likely run away. It is also likely to run away if it is fed too much. When feeding a pet, open the status window for the pet. Right click on the pet and click on the option for status. A window will pop up where you will see the name of the pet, what level the pet is, if it is wearing any accessories, and whether or not it is hungry. To feed your pet, right-click on it and choose "Feed Pet". Your pet will then make an emote, letting you know it has eaten. It is possible to overfeed your pet. Only feed it once at a time and its intimacy will slowly rise. It should give you the Ok! emote. If you continue to feed it it will give the Hmmm or Pif emote. Feed it again and it will use the OMG! emote and die. You must control how much your pet eats.

Another note about feeding pets: Monster's Feed

is not the same as Pet Food
despite having identical icons. Pets will only eat Pet Food. Monster's Feed is only good for recovering your own HP. 

When you are tired of your pet or have run out of money to keep it out, you can return it to egg status. Simply right click on the pet and choose the selection. You will need an incubator to hatch the pet again. You do not need to take accessories off the pet when you put it into its egg.

Mechanics

Intimacy

Intimacy Level	Point System	Characteristics
Very Shy	Less than 101	Ready to run far far away from a bad master
Shy	101-250	Uses moody emotes such as /pif and /wah
Neutral	251-750	Uses normal emotes such as /no1 and /ok
Cordial	751-900	Uses affectionate emotes such as /lv and /kis. Bonuses to Owner
Loyal	901-1000	Talks often and uses affectionate emotes. Bonuses to Owner

• Each pet starts at an intimacy level of 250.
• Each feeding gives different incremental points depending on the pet and its hunger.
  • Intimacy got by feeding differ from pet to pet (check the Pet Comparison table below).
  • Pets get more intimacy when fed at hungry than at neutral.
• Pet intimacy goes down by 15 points each time you die in a map with EXP penalty.
  • This means you will NOT lose intimacy points in Towns, PvP and Event Maps.
• Pet intimacy does NOT go down when the pet is returned to its egg form.
• Pet intimacy is retained when the egg is traded to a new owner.

Hunger

Hunger Level	Values
Stuffed	91-100
Satisfied	76-90
Neutral	26-75
Hungry	11-25
Very Hungry	0-10

• You lose 1 hunger point every minute.
• While the pet stays between 0-100 hunger points, it won't lose intimacy.
  • You will lose 5 intimacy points every minute if you don't feed your pet at 0 hunger points.
• To maximize intimacy gain per feeding, pets should be fed the moment they become hungry
• To maximize intimacy gain in a given length of time, pets should be fed the moment they become neutral - although pets get more intimacy per feeding if they are hungry, the time between feedings outweighs this.
• You lose 100 intimacy points when overfeeding your pet.

Pets in WoE

Pets cannot be used in WoE maps. Once you enter one WoE map, the pet will return to its egg form.
