Advanced Pet Quest

The Advanced Pet Quest is arguably the most time-consuming but potentially most rewarding thing to do in Xen Rebirth. It consists of 45 quests that contain a total of 42 four-hour cooldowns (seven days of cooldowns), and a lot of farming if you are not wealthy or the required items are not available. The result is a pet that you can enjoy as a companion, enhance to give it a skill, or enhance into a pet you can mount.

## Quest Progression

Once you reach level 35 as an Acolyte, Apprentice, Neophyte, or Squire, you can begin the first quest toward acquiring an advanced pet. After you receive the Mysterious Egg, each new quest will begin by double-clicking the egg and end with a four-hour cooldown. Along the way, you will receive items such as books, perfume, and toys. Make sure to keep these in your inventory before speaking to your pet again to complete each quest. Also make sure to keep your incubators and music boxes with you once you acquire them. Do not sell or delete these items!

## Farming Tips

One way to farm all of the items needed for a pet is to create a new character and start farming at level 10 as a Xenian. This is especially effective if you already have cash items from lucky balls to boost your attack and defense. The items seem to drop best when the enemies are equal in level to your character (their names are white), but you may still get drops when they are higher or lower than you. At a certain point, however, becoming too high seems to eliminate items from dropping altogether. Here is a suggested progression:

#### Levels 10-18: Brynhild Trisects

After you reach level 10 as a Xenian, step outside of Arcarinas Square and kill every enemy you can in the Trisects. They drop Corn fairly frequently, and you can probably farm all 30 before you reach level 20. You will also likely receive several Jureah's Pendants 4/4, and you should save all of them. Also save one Jureah's Pendants 1/4.

#### Levels 16-25: Evergail Grove

The enemies here drop many of the items you will need for your pet quest, including Apple, Cheese, Salt, Strawberry, and White Paint. Don't worry about getting every item your first time through. Many of these will drop on subsequent maps, and it is also a simple thing to make another new character, farm corn, and then come here again at 16.

#### Levels 25-35: Engrave Path

Enemies here drop Aloe, Butter, Salt, and Watermelon. You will want to focus on Gurons, which are your first good source of Firewood. Firewood is arguably the most time-consuming item to procure, so don't let any Gurons live! Again, many of these items will continue to drop in later maps.

#### Levels 35-50: Ashton Basin

This map has specific enemies that drop three of the more valuable pet quest items. Devil Fairy drops Fairy Powder, Hawg drops Wood and Firewood, and Pawkin drops Leather. You will also acquire Aloe, Apple, Butter, Cheese, Grapes, Salt, Strawberry, and White Paint from any enemies on this map, but make sure you focus the three listed above if you are going for those specific items.

#### Levels 50-75: Mythril Mines

Soul Stone Fragments and Image Stones drop on levels one and two of the mines, which are conveniently connected to Ashton Basin. It is possible to single kill enemies here, but the most effective way to acquire the items is to use AoE skills. You may therefore wish to wait until you reach your late 60s or early 70s to farm here. Both items still drop very frequently at level 71, which is when Scout gets Reticle Trap and Knight gets Wild Swing. You can also use Rogue to Circle Trap or Disciple to Chain Block. Waiting until these levels also means that it is easier to meet the defense requirement to AoE with ease. If you are making a Cleric, you will want to find an AoE friend who you can heal, or come with a group if you want to farm these items quickly. If you do not want to wait until your late 60s, you can also AoE with the Squire skill Reflection or the Apprentice skill Lightning, but you may have to rely more on the spa buff and enhanced gear or a healer to be able to AoE effectively. Reflection also has a longer cooldown, so pre-level 71 Squires and Knights will take longer to kill their AoE mobs.

By the time you reach your 70s, using this method, you should have all or most of your pet quest items (and hopefully a couple of Xen Stones). If not, you should have plenty of kron with which to haggle, or you can make a new character!
