Lineage II Aden: Pet System Preview EP 5.0

[admin 0]

Pets in Lineage II Aden aren't just cute companions that follow you around on all your adventures—they're battle partners that you raise yourself and participate in combat with you against formidable opponents!

To get your very own pet, you'll need to be level 76 and talk to Pet Master Lemper in Aden to receive the "Appearance of the Disappeared Pet" quest. After completing the short quest, you will need to seek out Pet Master Atingo, who roams the Plains of the Lizardmen, lurks in Dragon Valley, hangs out in the Tower of Insolence floors 1–5, or looks awkward just hanging in the Orc Barracks. Atingo will summon a random pet when his HP falls below 50%, and you'll have to defeat it in a battle after killing Atingo to obtain a Sealed (Pet Type) Necklace. The necklace is not tradeable, but don't worry, all the pets are cute and can evolve into vicious-looking guardians!

Word of caution: the "Sin Eater" pet summoned by Atingo cannot be acquired, even when you defeat it.

Pet Summoning

Use the Pet Necklace in your inventory to summon the pet when you are out of combat. You can only have one pet out at a time (not including class servitors). Summoned pets that are 20 levels or higher than their master will be unable to fight in combat.

Pet Death

After a pet has died, the master will receive a debuff called Pet Death Penalty. It will reduce the satiety gauge depending on the debuff level. The pet won't lose XP after death. After a master dies in combat, the pets will be automatically unsummoned.

A pet can be re-summoned again from the necklace, and the pet's HP/MP will be fully restored.

Pet Growth

If you combat with the summoned pet, the pet acquires the same amount of XP it puts into combat to grow.

Pets gain XP by hunting and defeating monsters with their most favorite people, you! As their owner, you obtain 100% XP from defeating monsters, while pets get bonus XP based on the damage inflicted.

The first pet obtained is level 1, so most characters must grow their pets from a higher status. In this case, it is easier to raise the pet in a lower-level hunting zone. Due to the difference in levels between the character and the monster, the character may not obtain XP, but the low-level pet can grow quickly. So the character and pet can soon enter hunting zones in which they can both receive XP.

Pets must be kept fed to prevent their satiety gauge from reaching 0. Once a pet's satiety gauge has reached 0, the pet will no longer fight in combat. To raise the satiety gauge, Pet Food must be given to your pet. You can acquire Pet food from the Pet Manager NPC in town.

Pet Evolution

Primary pet attributes increase based on level, and exclusive characteristics increase through Evolution. There is a big difference in the pet's combat attributes based on evolution status, so grow pets with Evolution as the goal.

Pet appearance is upgraded upon 1^st Evolution, and new skills are acquired. Name and stats are also given at random. Randomly assigned names and stats cannot be changed, so leave it up to fate that you receive the name and stats of your liking. Pets can acquire more vital skills upon 2^nd Evolution, and appearance also evolves to its final form surrounded in armor.

Pet Extraction

Pet Extraction is a process that extracts life energy from a pet and transforms it into an item called a Pet XP Crystal. It can be used to grow another pet quickly. The original pet used for the extraction will completely disappear.         

Talk to either Pet Manager Lemper or Cooper for the extraction process. Pet extraction requires a certain amount of Adena and L2 Coins depending on the pet level.

You can only extract a pet that has reached Level 50 or higher.

It should also have no equipment on the pet. What's more, the pet shouldn't be summoned during the extraction process. You also cannot extract sealed pets.

Depending on your pet's level, you can receive different types and quantities of Pet XP Crystals. For example, a level 81 pet extraction will yield you x515 Pet XP Crystals.

Level of Pet Extracted	XP Crystal Received
50~81	Pet XP Crystal (100,000,000 XP)
82~90	Greater Pet XP Crystal (2,000,000,000 XP)
