Ragnarok X: Next Gen Pet Tips and Guide

Author : Alexander May 18,2025

The Pet System in Ragnarok X: Next Generation (ROX) adds an exciting strategic dimension to the game's open-world experience. Players can capture, train, and evolve a diverse range of pets that not only serve as adorable companions but also play a crucial role in battles and enhance character stats. This comprehensive guide delves into the mechanics of acquiring, developing, and effectively utilizing pets in ROX.

Unlocking the Pet System

To dive into the Pet System, players need to hit base level 60. Once you reach this level, a set of introductory quests will guide you through the initial steps. These quests involve purchasing a slingshot, learning how to load it, and unlocking the Pet Encyclopedia. Completing these quests marks the beginning of your pet collection and management journey in Ragnarok X: Next Generation.

How to Capture Pets?

Capturing pets in ROX is both fun and strategic. The system categorizes pets into different rarity tiers, influencing their appearance rates when you attempt to catch them. The capture results are randomized, 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?

ROX offers a unique feature called Pet Quality Transfer, allowing players to enhance their pets. This process involves transferring the quality of a higher-tier pet to another of the same species, while retaining the level and experience of the recipient pet. To perform this transfer, you need two identical pets (same species), with one being of higher quality. The transfer incurs a fee of 5,000 Zeny, ensuring that players can upgrade their pets without losing progress.

Pet Awakening Skills

Pets in Ragnarok X: Next Generation can unlock up to four awakening skill slots, significantly boosting their combat prowess. These slots are unlocked using skill sheets, which can only be obtained from the Pet Book Vending Machine (Gacha system). The number of available slots is determined by the pet's quality tier and star rank, adding another layer of strategy to pet development.

Pet Stamina Explained

Each pet in ROX comes with a stamina system, starting with 720 stamina points, which allows for 120 minutes of active deployment. Stamina is the key resource that governs a pet's functionality. Unfortunately, you can't keep your pet active all day due to this stamina limitation. Stamina depletes at a rate of one point every 10 seconds while the pet is in use.

For an enhanced gaming experience, players can enjoy Ragnarok X: Next Generation on a larger screen using their PC or laptop with BlueStacks, along with the precision of a keyboard and mouse.
