Your pet grows as your character fights and gains levels. Your pet cannot attack during a fight, but it can be attacked by other monsters and characters. Therefore, you must pay attention to your pet, defend your pet, and take care of it.

  - A hit on your pet will always only take 1 vital point. When its vital points become 0, the summoning of your pet is cancelled and will be sealed (the pet icon will remain in your inventory). When this happens, you cannot summon your pet for a period of time. If the vital points are reduced but not sealed, they can be recovered by feeding your pet magical herbs you gather from the farms located on Iris.

  - Sealed time depends on the pet level; 1Lv ~ 20Lv = 5 hours (game time); 21Lv ~ 40Lv =  time); 41Lv ~ 60Lv = 17 hours (Game Time). Summoning is blocked during this time.

  - A sealed pet can be released, if a character hunts for this amount of time. Killing monsters of a lower level than the character is not considered a hunt.

  - Also, you can pay Nas to the Pet Trainer to release the seal immediately. The required amount of Nas increases as the level of a pet increases.

Skills and Training

Compatibility and Hungriness

Table 1 - Degrees of Starvation & Sympathy And Vital Power

Mount training A pet is a baby when it is summoned at level 1, and it grows larger when it reaches level 16. When the pet’s level is 31 or higher, it can be trained as a mount by the Pet Trainer. This training allows the pet to have its final growth spurt into an adult. This transformation will make all the acquired skills reset, but will put all of the technical points back into its skill point pool. Moreover, further leveling-up is blocked.  Therefore you must choose wisely when to train your pet into a mount. Pets trained as mounts will provide faster movement, and bring about chances to learn new skills and techniques.
