The Pet System
One of the main features of Rappelz is its in-depth pet system. Players are able to obtain empty pet
cards which they can use to attempt to tame creatures, allowing them to use these captured creatures
as pets.
Pets have multiple forms or evolutions. Each evolution of a pet has a distinct appearance and offers
new abilities to the pets. If a player uses a pet that is significantly higher level than they are then the pet
becomes weaker. This is so a low level player with a very high level pet is not extremely overpowered.
Also, pets will only gain experience when they are lower in level than their owner. Therefore, a level 52
pet on a level 50 player will not gain any more experience until the owner reaches level 53.
How to Capture a Creature
1. The player needs an empty pet card.
2. The player needs to find an appropriate creature to capture. The card will list the names of
appropriate creatures and the level range those creatures should be.
3. The player needs to use the taming skill on the creature. The creature must be at full hitpoints
or this will not work. The creature will then attack the player at this point.
4. When the player kills the creature the taming will either succeed or fail. Success depends on
many things including the taming skill of the player, and the rarity level of the pet.
How to Form a Creature
In-order to summon a captured creature it must first be formed.
1. The player needs to have the creature handling skill. The higher this skill is the greater the
number of creature slots the player has. The number of creature slots determines the number
of creatures a player can have formed at one time.
2. Open the creature formation window (Alt + Y). The user can double click on a tamed pet card in
their inventory to equip the card in a free slot. The user can also drag the tamed card from their
inventory into an available slot.
3. The creature is now formed.
How to Summon a Creature
1. The player needs to have the creature they want to summon in their creature formation.
2. The player must select the creature they want to summon. This is done by opening the creature
window (ALT+R). This small window shows the creatures that the player has formed. The user
should then click on the creature they want to summon. The selected creature will have a blue
square surrounding their icon.
3. The player then uses the Summon Creature skill to summon their formed pet.
How to Equip your Creature
Your Pets have two slots available to wear equipment. Your pet can only wear equipment of the
appropriate rank.
To prepare a piece of equipment for your pet to wear, you must combine it with a unit card. Unit cards
can be bought from merchant NPCs. All combinations of items must be done in the Combination
Window, which can be accessed from your inventory screen.
If at any time you wish to make the equipment useable by a player you must combine it with a Chalk of
Restoration. This chalk is available at merchant NPCs and it detaches the equipment from the unit card,
destroying the unit card in the process. Rappelz Reference Guide Pg. 7
Version 0.9 – Rappelz Epic 4
Your pet cannot wear two of the same type of equipment. For example it cannot wear two body
armors, or two weapons.
Remember to upgrade your pet’s equipment as you would upgrade your own.
Overbreeding and Pet Levels
If you have a summoned pet it will gain experience and levels with you. As your pet gains levels it gains
stats and job points. The pet’s job points can be spent on skills for the pet, just as your job points can be
spent on skills for you. Your pet gains one job point per level.
Each pet has three stages of evolution. At each stage your pet has a different appearance. At higher
stages of evolution more powerful skills become available.
You may evolve your pet from evolution 1 to evolution 2 at pet level 50. You may evolve your pet from
evolution 2 to evolution 3 at level 100.
You may choose to overbreed your pet rather than evolve it right away. Overbreeding is leveling your
pet up for a few levels rather than evolving it right away. The reason why you might want to overbreed
your pet is your pet gains 2 jp per level during these overbreed levels, plus special skills are only
available if your pet is overbred. If you want the most powerful pet possible with the highest possible
stats then you should overbreed your pets as much as possible.
You may not overbreed your pets indefinitely. The levels you gain Overbreed are at levels 51 – 60 for
evolution 1 and at levels 101 – 115 for evolution 2. In addition you must evolve your pet to evolution 2
at level 60, as your pet can never reach level 61 as evolution 1. You also must evolve your pet to
evolution 3 at level 115 because an evolution 2 pet can never reach level 116.
You may evolve your pet at a tamer/breeder NPC in any major town. Talk to this NPC and select the
Creature Evolution option.
You may not undo an evolution.

Taming FAQs and Tips
The more rare and powerful a creature is, the harder it is to tame. Very rare or powerful
creatures will be extremely hard to tame, even for experts at taming.
All pet cards of the same type have the same chance of success, e.g. all Blue Pixie cards have the
same chance of success. There are not different versions of each card.
You can only tame creatures of the specific name that are listed on the Pet Card. Select the card
in your inventory and then hover over it with your mouse to reveal a tooltip that lists the
necessary mob names.
Please be careful when having someone tame for you. There are many people who would love
to steal your pet cards! Ask for references, be sure they are in a reputable guild, make sure they
are in your party, etc. A good way to ensure you get back your pet is to ask for something of
equal value. That way if they do try and steal it, you have something they want back.
When equipping a pet into your formation, its level relative to your own will make a difference
in its stats. For example, if your character is level 50 and has two of the same pet, one at level 50
and one at level 150, the stats will be quite different. Make sure to consider this before
buying/trading pets for your use.
