What Is A Pet?

The pet in Jade Dynasty is your NPC companion. They are funny little creatures that enjoy talking to you. They might make you laugh, and they might make you mad. Pets can also evolve, which changes their appearance.

How Do We Get A Pet?

When you hit level 5 you will automatically get a quest from Pet master Ellan. Complete the quest and you will randomly get one of two pets, the Dryadling (plant) or the Woody Pig.

Don't forget! You have to tame a pet before you can use it!

What Are Pets Used For?

Pets can do any of the following:

• Fight in combat alongside the player.
• Can give you added stats by Fusing or Esperating:
  • Fuse means your pet becomes attached to you. You take reduced damage, and your resistances are increased. Note: Your pet will unsummon itself when fused with a player.
  • Esperate will again unsummon your pet and boost the stats you obtain from the Esper you are wearing.
• Can forage for materials needed for crafting pet gear and remedies in the Pet Workshop.

What is Pet Gear?

You can purchase armor for your pet! Visit Pet Tamer Totto in Sunstream to purchase gear (it's cheap) and stats are assigned to the gear at random.

To equip the gear, simply right-click the gear once it is in your inventory bag. To view the gear currently equipped to your pet, press 'P' in-game to bring up the pet menu, then on the bottom left, click the "Pet Gear" button.

How Do Pets Evolve?

Read this advanced guide: Evolve

Pets can evolve when their Grade reaches a high enough level. Grade represents a pet's overall capability.

Grade 12 = first evolved state

Grade 18 = second evolved state

Raising Pet Grade

When you reach level 45, Pet Tamer Totto will give you a quest called Free Lunch.

You will need to kill the following monsters around Sunstream City:

• 10 Butterflies
• 10 Wild Wolves
• 10 Plump Toads

Once completed, you will go back to Pet Tamer Totto and end the quest, open your bag and you'll see you got a Wild Wolf or a Plump Toad. These pets do not have any Aptitudes, so they cannot Forage for materials. They also cannot be Trained, so they cannot evolve. If you get lucky with a good Star Sign, they may be worth holding on to for combat, but their main purpose is to be released in exchange for jade pieces.

Simply train your wolf or toad to level 30 and then bring them back to Pet Tamer Totto to release them. When a pet is released, you will get broken jade pieces as a reward. Train the pet you want to improve with these broken jade pieces to increase your pet's growth rates in various stats. As the pet's growth rates improve, so will its Grade.

You can only use the jade pieces to reach Grade 8. After this, you will need to trade Celebeans to Pet Tamer Totto for more advanced Jades in order to raise their Grade further.

You can see the pet's current grade by pressing "P" and hovering over the pet's picture in the pet window.

Can Pets Die?

Yes. Your pet dies when its Age is full. You can view your pet's Age by pressing "P" and hovering over the pet's picture.

A pet's Age increases by 1 point every five minutes, if they are in Combat or Foraging status. A pet's Age will not increase while it is resting.

Pet Tamer Totto sells a variety of items to reduce a pet's Age or increase its maximum Life.

NOTE: Age and health points are different. When a pet's health reaches zero you can still summon it and heal it back to full health. When a pet's Age is full, it cannot be summoned again until its Age is reduced.

How Do We Feed Our Pet?

Your pet will get hungry from time to time. You can see how hungry, or not hungry it is by hovering over that green bubble on the far right of the pets UI while summoned.

You can feed your pet by buying items from Pet Tamer Totto. If your lucky you can find potions, food and even charms in the wild.

NOTE: When your pet gets too hungry it will do less damage. When your pet has a fuller tummy it can do extra damage.

How Do We Make Pets Farm (gather)?

Once Your pet hits level 30 it gains the capability to "forage" (gather) mats for itself.

These "Foraging" actions include:

• Farming
• Woodwork
• Hunting
• Fishing
• Mining
• Treasure

To make your pet forage press "p", at the top right will be a button that says "Combat", click it. Now you will see a status window, showing what actions you can take and what its current ability is for them. Click on the action you wish to partake in and then at the bottom click on "Save and Exit". Your pet will now go off for a while and attempt to collect mats to use in the Pet Workshop.

The pet will attempt to find an item every 15 minutes. Each attempt consumes 100 belly points.

NOTE: Your pet must be stowed in order to forage. When you summon it the pet will go back into combat mode.

A pet's gathering ability is determined by its Aptitude. If an Aptitude is 0, the pet will not be able to gather the corresponding materials.

Pets of different levels gather different materials.

Grade 1 Materials LV30 - LV70

Grade 2 Materials LV71 - LV100

Grade 3 Materials LV101 - LV120

Grade 4 Materials LV121 - LV135

Grade 5 Materials LV136 - LV145

Grade 6 Materials LV146 - LV150

Auto Feeding

You can auto feed your pet by pressing "P" and putting a pet Battery, like a Wongzo Grape, into the empty box on the bottom right of the pet window. When the pet loses a certain amount of health it will automatically use the potion.

Pet Bag

You can buy items from the Cash Shop (J) or from other players to increase the slots in your pet bag. Expand the pet bag at Pet Tamer Totto in Sunstream.

Two Sunray Brooches will add 6 slots to your Pet Bag (click the Pet button on the side of your Bag to access it). One Sunray Brooch will add 1 Pet Slot (number of pets that the player can equip, all characters start out with two)

Pet Stops Gaining EXP

Your pet can be at most five levels above your character, and will stop gaining EXP once it reaches that level. Once your character levels again, your pet will continue to gain EXP.

Pet Leveling Tips

1. To level up a pet straight from 1 to 30 you can use 7 mirage candy or 1 kyrin orb (lvl 45).

2.(skill) You can level up pet skills or learn a new skills with the " Book of Domestication ", an item that can be acquired by lottery from treasure chest sold at Sky Dweller cost 50g and since it's a lottery item so you might end up spending a pretty penny to get it, and be exchanged to the skill book you want at the other pet tamer Lonno. Even so each book will increase skill level by 1 so if you want it to hit level 30 you might end up spending over 1500g.

3. Nura's Gift gives dragonfang herbs that give you pet fighting spirit. It can be leved up and given for Pet Tamer Totto to give you items such as eera herb and exp. orb (randomly).
