Meta Pets
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 4 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.
Meta Stone
The Meta Stone is an item purchased from the Wearables Vendor or the Unique Wares Vendor. It is used to apply Meta Relics to your Meta Pet, as well as view it's level progress of Relic Skills.
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.
Hues
Meta Dragons are hued based on the hue of the Dragon Egg obtained from the Dragon Progenitor. The following hues are possible drops:
- 1109, 1154, 1173, 2655, 2963, 1155, 1284, 971, 972, 691, 742, 811, 900
