Cute Pet System

This Page is Under Construction

The Cute Pet System is a system that allows players to tame monsters to become pets. Pets may give special Stats, and damage bonuses, and enable certain skills when they become Cordial and Loyal. Pets come in several types, each with varying levels of difficulty to tame and develop.

Basics

A cute pet is a tamed monster which will follow you throughout Rune-Midgard to keep you company and empty your wallet. They have no special skills, except when loyal (what action they do varies). There are several different types of Cute Pets with varying levels of difficulty to obtain and maintain (keep fed). Pets which achieve a Loyal level of Intimacy will provide their owner with certain bonuses while accompanying them.

Taming

To tame a pet, a Cute Pet Taming Item must be used. These items are obtained through monster drops or special quests. To use one, double-click on it in the Item Window. When the desired monster to tame is on the screen, click on the monster. A slot machine will appear and must be clicked for a chance to tame the monster. In the event of failure, such as the monster dying before taming is complete, the taming item will be lost and no pet is acquired. In case of success, the taming item is consumed and a Cute Pet Egg will be received.

On Project Alfheim the success rate is increased to x20 rates resulting in a far better catch rate for most pets.

• Do note the Taming Rate is NOT 100% on everything, but it is 20times the base rate of vanilla. This has been falsely advertised in the past and we apologise. This is now fixed in the wiki as of 24/11/2022

Hocus Pocus

Cute Pets can also be tamed through the Sage skill Hocus Pocus, which tames the pet without the required taming item. Note:

• Hocus Pocus taming success rate is not increased.
• Event-exclusive and evolved pets are not tamable through Hocus Pocus.

Raising

Once a Cute Pet egg has been obtained, use a Pet Incubator to hatch it. To hatch the egg, click on the Incubator. Click on the desired egg to hatch and it will appear.

The first thing that should be done is to feed the pet. To feed a pet, right-click on it and choose "Feed Pet." For cost savings when working towards Loyal, only feed it when its hunger is at Hungry. To tame it faster, feed it when its hunger is at Neutral, but do not feed it any earlier than that. The pet will then make an emote, letting the owner know it has eaten. It should give the "/ok" emote. If it is repeatedly fed, it will give the "/hmm" or "pif" emote. Feed it again and it will use the "/omg" emote and leave. So be sure to not feed your pet when they are full and only when they are neutral or hungry.

Pets retain their default monster name but can be renamed through the Cute Pet Window (Alt+J). Normally, pets can only be renamed once, on Project Alfheim however, this limitation is removed. To return the pet to its egg, simply right-click on the pet and choose return to egg. Another Pet Incubator is needed to hatch the pet again. It is not necessary to take accessories off the pet prior to putting it into its egg.

Evolving

Once a pet has become Loyal, right-click your pet and choose Check Pet Status. This will open up the Pet Info window. Click on the <command> drop down menu and choose Evolution.

Mechanics

Intimacy		Characteristics
Status	Rate
Awkward	Below 100	Ready to abandon its owner
Shy	100 ~ 249	Uses unhappy emotes such as /pif and /wah
Neutral	250 ~ 749	Uses friendly emotes such as /no1 and /ok
Cordial	750 ~ 909	Uses affectionate emotes such as /lv and /kis
Loyal	910 ~ 1,000	Talks often and uses affectionate emotes. Bonuses to Owner

A pet is given a random number of intimacy points between 100 and 399 when it's first hatched. The higher level the pet is, the less intimacy it will begin with. Feeding a pet increases, the gains vary based on the individual pets, but generally, pets that give better stats, such as evolved pets will take longer to achieve intimacy.

A pet's hunger level is classified using the following terms

Status	Rate
Stuffed	100 ~ 91
Satisfied	90 ~ 76
Neutral	75 ~ 26
Hungry	25 ~ 11
Very Hungry	10 ~ 0

• Hunger rate for every pet is different, the chart below shows the hunger rate for every pet.
• Each feeding will increase a pet's hunger level by 20.
• Each feeding will decrease a pet's intimacy by 100 when overfed.
• Auto-feeding will continue to raise intimacy.
• Pets do not lose intimacy on death on Project Alfheim.
• If a pet is starving, its intimacy decreases by 20 every 20 seconds.
• Intimacy doesn't decrease when a pet is returned to its egg.
