Pet system~

So when I heard that there was a pet system, my first thought was "Its probably a poorly constructed AI and was only created as an additional thing to lure people to download the game",  however after testing it I was quite pleased to see that it was indeed useful and fun to play with. 

The pet system is basically like this. First you buy a taming kit like this. Make sure you buy the correct taming kit for your pet level, If its incorrect level you won't be able to use the taming kit.

Then you basically find a small monster. You can tell if somethings a small monster if its visually small and in your monster log it has a small "s". This means that it is tameable. Once you use it, you will have to get 5 hearts to appear above the monster in order to tame it.

There are 3 types of Pets. The first one which is the most basic is the Combat pet. These pets basically just fight alongside you with the gear that you give them. They are useful through most of the game and they do a fair amount of damage though only consistently.

The second type is Looting pets.

 

Though they do not attack, They are useful as they make life more convenient as you don't need to stop to loot and waste time. They are useful through all of the game as early game it makes it faster for you to progress and late game as you probably won't have time to stop for a few seconds to loot as you fight off the massive onslaught of monsters.


The last type is Buff pets.

In personal opinion, these pets are only useful late game, When you have lots of gear that has been kit'd with runes. These pets basically just give you the bonuses that the gear is currently wearing. In early game it is recommended to stay away from these pets as the armour bonus you give it won't be good enough to compensate for extra damage or convenience that a Combat pet or a Looting pet will give.

Overall, Pets in general are pretty useful. Though you may aim at a specific pet early game, it is better to just stick with whatever pet you can get which benefits you the most as later on you will most likely get rid of it and change for a better pet.

When taming pets, make sure you are at least 5 levels higher, This makes it easier to survive to tame it. If you chose scout, You can use the "hide" skill, And then tame the pet whilst invisible. This makes it considerably easier as you won't be hit while taming and therefore you won't die in the process of taming.

Once you tame a pet, it will start leveling when you kill monsters. It won't however, Steal your exp. It gains experience separately to that you gain. After it reaches the level that you are at, It has a small percent to turn into a rare pet. Rare pets have the ability to have 2 functions. For example Combat and looting. These are incredibly useful though its hard to get. Pets only have 1 chance to evolve into a rare pet, so it won't try to evolve into a rare pet everytime it reaches your level.

Once a pet dies, It won't be in use in the field. You can revive them using the kits you can buy in the accessory shop or you can just go back into a resting area. Once you enter a resting area it will automatically revive.

Certain pets are hard to tame so be prepared to spend a good few hours if your aiming at a hard to tame pet such as Ice Hatchling, though it will pay off if you do tame it.
