Pets

**Pets** are a game mechanic introduced in the V0.2.92 - "Varmint" update. They are small companions that travel alongside players and can provide perks such as additional Gil and aid in battle.

## **How to get a Pet**

In order to unlock pets, players must talk to Mythora in xyr pet shop and complete a 5-part quest series. These quests must be completed back to back; *do not abandon any of the quests or else you will have to start the quest chain over*. The quest steps are as follows:

* Give Mythora your primary clan's Keystone. You cannot complete this step if you haven't joined a primary clan yet; the Dark Keystone and Potato won't count towards this quest.
* Collect 5 lost letters and put them in postboxes.
* Collect 15 Deepshrooms and give them to Mythora.
* Give out 15 Kudos
* Solve Mythora's riddle (Xe will *not* take the Dermon stuffie; that is just there as a hint)

Once the final quest is completed, you will be given a Toad and can freely purchase any pet eggs.

### Obtaining the Ravne

Most pet eggs can be purchased, but the Ravne (See below) is an exception. Ravne eggs can only be obtained very rarely from killing demons or by trading with another player. After obtaining you must take it to Mythora with one pet active. The pet you had out will return to your pet menu as a Ravne. There are two colors for the Ravne, blue with pink eyes or purple with gold armor and blue eyes.

### Obtaining an Insect

You can obtain an insect e.g. cicada, butterfly, cricket, etc, as a pet from Corbyn by doing the following (**required**) steps:

* Have Dark Apprentice tag on
* Bring a cleaning agent jar
* Have 1 random pet out
* Must at least have 5,000 gil in order to purchase the pet

After doing said steps, you'll receive an insect as a pet in your pet's stable(s).

## **Mechanics**

To summon your pets, click on the white frog icon in the top right corner of your screen to access your pet stables. From there, click on the slot (Also known as a battle stone) with your pet of choice to have them appear on the field, and click on the same slot once more to un-summon them. Pets may refuse to return to their battle stones, but this is a rare occurrence. You can have up to 3 pets out at once. This limit is raised to 4 anytime your primary clan is in power, however.

Pets will always stay within a small radius surrounding your character. Whenever you move out of their range, pets will attempt to move back within that range, though due to their limited pathfinding abilities, they are prone to getting stuck behind walls, fences, and cliffsides. If they end up too far away, they will automatically teleport back within the initial radius. Other players can also force your pets to return to your side by clicking on them. Pets that are unable to fly will not teleport if you are flying.

While idle, pets may perform a variety of actions such as singing, scratching, sleeping, chirping, groaning, growling, flying if they have wings, or making an angry face. They may also dig up items and give Kudos.

If there's a pet/pets just standing away from their owners e.g out of range, you can click on them and will get a message that says "The pet runs from your reach!"

To disable pets from showing up in the game, go into your settings, click on Filters, and click on "Filter Pets" (Which can be re-enabled too!).

### Pet Care and Affection

While active, pets may occasionally request things from the player, which appear as messages in the form of a thought bubble with the message "[emoji]!". If the emoji is a heart, then the player must simply click on the pet to fulfill the request. For other emojis, the player must hold the corresponding the item and then click on the pet. If the player forgets what item the pet wants, they can simply click on them again and the pet will repeat the request. Completing a request will reward the player with 1-2 Gil and raise the pet's affection. Players are able to fulfill requests for other players' pets as well, and doing so will reward both the player and the pet owner. A completed request is indicated by a system message and a heart icon- or more rarely, three hearts- over the pet.

Pets may ask for the following items in-game: red or green apples (They only accept the apples with leaves), oranges, pears, carrots, mangoes, pebbles, bananas, four leafed clovers (Spring, summer), strawberries (Spring, summer), cookies, lemons, peaches, pumpkins (Fall), mushrooms (Fall), tomatoes, ears of corn, and pet treats (Found in Mythora's store).

Affection is a stat that measures how close a pet is towards you. Pets with high a enough affection will aid you when fighting Demons by sending out an attack of a random element. The higher the affection, the more frequently a pet will attack. Affection can be raised fulfilling your pets' requests.

While there is no way to manually check your pets' affection level, you may occasionally receive system messages that hint at how high their affection is.

### **Customization**

Mythora's store sells a variety of items that allow you to customize your pets if you don't like their current appearance. Most pets can have their colors changed as long as they have multiple color variants available. You can also change their names, though these will be limited to the list of auto-generated names (See below). And if you are running low on space and want a new species, you have the option to change a pet's species as well. However, you cannot choose which aspects you get when purchasing these special items, potentially making the process of getting your ideal pet extremely expensive.

Magikins get a wider variety of options, such accessories with changeable colors, runes, and even custom names.

### **Breeding**

    Breeding is a mechanic exclusive to Magikins. By clicking on the incubator in Mythora's shop, you can have two Magikins combine their essence and produce a new egg. Breeding Magikins is free, but you'll have to wait 12 real life hours (Or 6 if you breed with a friend) before you can receive your egg. You cannot receive bred Magikins if you have no open stable slots.

If the parents of the egg have unstable gene stability, there is a risk the egg may die.

You can check your bred pet's gene by clicking on the gene board.

### **Trading**

Trading is another pet feature exclusive to Magikins. You can only trade Magikins with your friends.
