Beginners’ Guide

Within the very first hour of enter­ing the game world, play­ers can expect to acquire their first pet by com­plet­ing the ‘First Pet’ quest, ini­ti­ated by Mas­ter Zhao [160, 157] in Da Li. This quest intro­duces play­ers to basic pet com­mands includ­ing sum­mon­ing and rest­ing. The later quest, ‘How to Catch a Pet’ ini­ti­ated by Lily White [265, 129] teaches play­ers how to catch a pet. For more inform­a­tion on these begin­ners’ quests, please visit our guide to the First 10 Levels.

Pet Short­cuts

By access­ing the Skills menu (Alt+S) and select­ing the ‘Nor­mal’ tab, play­ers may access the ‘Sum­mon pet’, ‘Take back pet’ and ‘Cap­ture pet’ com­mon skills. These skills may be dragged into the Short­cut Menu Bar for easy access. The ‘Sum­mon’ and ‘Rest’ func­tions may also be accessed through the Pet Menu screen.

Pet Menu

By access­ing the Pet Menu screen (Alt+X), play­ers may view their pets, assign levelling-​up points, and may choose to free their pets if they should so wish.

Just like the Char­ac­ter inter­face, the Pet menu also shows vital stat­ist­ics such as HP, XP, and import­antly for pets — joy.

Joy

The joy rat­ing of a pet is a dir­ect rep­res­ent­a­tion of how ‘happy’ your pet is. If a pet dies its joy rat­ing will fall. You can restore joy points by pur­chas­ing joy-​enhancing items from the pet store such as Yel­low Sling or Col­our­ful Balls.

It is import­ant to pay atten­tion to your pet’s joy rat­ing. If a pet’s joy rat­ing falls below 60, you will not be able to sum­mon it.
