Meta Pets

A Dragon Egg

Description

Meta Pets were first introduced in Publish 4 on September 5th, 2014, starting with Meta Dragons. There are now three Meta Pet types: Meta Dragon, Steed, and Spider.

Meta Pets can learn abilities from Meta Relics which, in the case of Meta Steeds and Dragons, can be obtained from Random Dungeon Adventures, invasion rewards and monster of the month drops. Meta Dragons and Spiders can hold a total of four Meta Relics at once. Meta Steeds can only hold three relics - A small trade-off for being able to also mount the beastly creature! If a Meta Relic is removed, all progress in that skill will be lost. Returning the relic to the Meta Pet will not return its skill for that relic.

Each relic ability has different effects, cool downs and application rates. The abilities will only work against untamed creatures and they will not be usable against players or other tamed creatures. Meta Skills can be applied with a Meta Stone.

Meta Pets level up by killing creatures. All damage done to a creature is saved and then given out to damaging Meta Pets upon their death. Experience cannot be gained while in a house. A creature cannot give total experience greater than its maximum hit points. This means that you cannot farm the same creature for an indefinite amount of time. The owner of the Meta Pet must be in the general vicinity of the pet for it to gain experience. If a Meta Pet dies, it will lose experience equal to the amount of remaining hit points on the creature it was fighting.

Protecting Your Pet

Warning: Meta Pets are very attractive targets for griefers who will try to lure your pet away. If it is lured away to a house you are not friended to and you cannot find it, the Meta Pet will return to its original egg form within 8 hours, thus losing all experience and relics in the process! To avoid this disastrous situation, be sure to:

1. Link your pet to a Pet Summoning Ball
2. Regularly stable your pet if you are going to be away from your computer
3. Regularly check who is friended to your house and check all teleporter / door security to prevent unwanted visitors

Pet Summoning Ball

This blessed item lets you link a bonded pet and summon it to you using Power of Translocation. The ball and powder can both be bought from Nadine the Exotic Item Donation Vendor. The ball costs just 1500 Donation Coin. A small investment to give you peace of mind that you can summon your pet at any time. Even with this item, it is highly recommended that you stable your pet regularly, particularly if you plan to be away from your computer for an extended period of time.

Bindings of Devotion

If you are particularly worried about losing your pet, you can purchase Bindings of Devotion from Nadine the Exotic Item Donation Vendor. This costs 10,000 Donation Coin and extends the period that the pet stays loyal to 24 hours. This certainly isn't an essential item but can provide a little extra peace of mind.

Meta Stone

The Meta Stone is an item purchased from the Wearables Vendor or the Unique Wares Vendor. At time of writing, it cost 3 million gold pieces from the vendor. It is used to apply Meta Relics to your Meta Pet, as well as view it's level progress of Relic Skills making it an essential part of Meta Pet trainer's toolkit.

Meta Relics

Meta Relics are add-ons for Meta Pets. Relics are dropped as rare loot by a variety of bosses around the world. They are one-time use only - once applied to a meta pet, the relic is gone forever but lives on as a skill for the meta pet. If you choose to remove a relic from a meta pet, it does not appear back in your backpack, but instead is gone forever. BE WARY IF YOU WANT TO REMOVE A RELIC THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN!

Meta Dragon

Meta Dragons can be obtained by killing the Dragon Progenitor in a Random Dungeon Adventure. Once you've killed the Dragon Progenitor, he has a chance to drop a Dragon Egg. The Dragon Egg comes in a variety of hues and determines the color of the Meta Dragon that it hatches. A Meta Dragon uses three follower slots.

A poisonous explosion of your pets blood will take place on a small chance whenever it is damaged. All creatures within the vicinity of your pet will be poisoned.
