How the Rappelz Pet System Works
The core of the creature system revolves around taming, leveling, and staging monsters to fight alongside you. Pets benefit from massive stat boosts, with higher stages providing significant increases to all core stats.
🥚 Step 1 — Taming
To tame a creature you need a Creature Card matching that monster type. Weaken the target creature in combat then use the card to attempt a tame. Higher level creatures require higher grade cards and have lower tame success rates. Some rare creatures can only be tamed with special event cards. Taming Rings (+4 levels) and gear with taming bonuses via BPOC can significantly increase your success rate.
📈 Step 2 — Leveling
Pets gain experience alongside you during combat. Keep your pet summoned as much as possible — an active pet levels faster and becomes significantly stronger with each level. The Breeder NPC can instantly boost a pet’s level to 5 levels below your character in exchange for JP, making the leveling process faster.
⚗️ Step 3 — Evolution
Evolve your pets at the Breeder NPC at levels 60 and 115 (to reach 116+). Evolution dramatically increases your pet’s stats and often grants new abilities. A fully evolved S5 pet rivals your own combat power and becomes one of the most valuable assets in the game.
🎯 Step 4 — Skills & Equipment
Pets can learn active and passive skills that activate in combat. Higher grade pets have access to more powerful skill sets. Pets can also be equipped with special pet equipment that further enhances their stats and abilities. Creature artifacts can be equipped on Stage 3 and Stage 5 pets.

🎯 Classic Taming — Step-by-Step Guide
Rappelz taming on this server is set to a base rate of x10, making it much more accessible for new players.
- Obtain an Empty Card: Buy basic cards from the Pet Trader in Horizon/Laksy or hunt for Rare/Unique cards in high-level areas like the Abyss.
- Locate Your Target: Each monster requires a specific card type. For example, use a White Dragon card for White Dragons.
- Use the Creature Taming Skill: Target the monster and activate your taming skill.
- Boost Your Odds: Equipping Taming Rings (+4 levels) and gear with taming bonuses via Blessed Power of Change (BPOC) can significantly increase your success rate.
- Identify Your Pet: Once tamed, right-click the card to identify it. Always identify your pet before staging to ensure it is at least Level 1, as this has been tested to improve staging success rates.
Soul Taming Rarities
Soul Taming introduces creatures with specialized skill sets. The rarity of the card dictates the difficulty of the tame and the potential power of the pet.
| Card Rarity | Requirement | Success Chance | Power Level |
|---|---|---|---|
| Basic | Soul Taming Card | High | ⭐⭐ |
| Special | Special Soul Taming Card | Moderate | ⭐⭐⭐ |
| Rare | Rare Soul Taming Card | Low | ⭐⭐⭐⭐ |
| Unique | Unique Soul Taming Card | Very Low | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐+ |

Pet Staging & Combination System
Rappelz pet staging is the process of combining two identical pets to create a higher-tier version. Staging up to Stage 3 (S3) is now 100% guaranteed. Moving from S3 to S5 is not guaranteed and requires higher level pets (recommended 190+) and Advanced Soul Catalysts for the best odds.
Stat Progression per Stage
| Stage | Stat Increase | Success Rate |
|---|---|---|
| S0 | +30% Stats | Base |
| S1 | +60% Stats | 100% |
| S3 | +200% Stats | 100% |
| S5 | +400% Stats | Not Guaranteed |
Chart: Pet Stage Progression — An S5 pet gains 400% stat boost over base.
Best Belt Pets per Class
Choosing the right Rappelz belt pets is essential for optimizing your character’s stats. Most players utilize the 6-slot belt system (1 Boss Card + 5 Pets).
| Class Category | Recommended Belt Setup | Key Stat Focus |
|---|---|---|
| Physical DPS (Berserker/Slayer) | 3x S1 Minotaurus + 2x Nightmare | P.Atk, Str, Aspd |
| Magic DPS (Void Mage) | 3x S1 Ethereal Pixies + 1x S5 White Dragon + 1x S5 Baphomet | M.Atk, Int, Cast Spd |
| Tank (Templar) | 3x S1 Minotaurus + 2x S5 White Dragons | Vitality, HP, P.Def |

Boss Cards
Boss cards are equipped in the special designated belt slot to provide powerful passive triggers.
Excellent for beginners — healing triggers upon attack.
Great for leveling — reduces enemy M.Def and P.Def.
Endgame choice — +200 Critical Power (reduces Crit Rate).
Top-tier — boosts Creature Control and P.Atk or M.Atk by 15%.
Creature Artifacts
Creature artifacts are powerful items equipped on Stage 3 and Stage 5 pets. There are 11 primary types, including Artifacts of Agility, Guardian, Attack, and Insight. Level 150 reward boxes provide a full set of base artifacts. High-end versions with custom pet skill bonuses (e.g., +1 Master Devotion) can be identified using the Hephaestus Power of Change: Artifact.
Evolution & Overbreeding
Leveling your pets correctly is vital for maximizing their Job Points (JP). Evolve your pets at the Breeder NPC at levels 60 and 115 (to reach 116+). The Breeder NPC can instantly boost a pet’s level to 5 levels below your character in exchange for JP. Keep your pet out while you level to gain maximum JP, allowing you to fully skill them out once they reach Stage 5.

Never miss a drop with specialized looting pets available at the custom NPC in Horizon.

- 🔹 Primal Loot Pet: Received at level 50.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why isn’t my pet gaining experience?
Your pet must be at a lower level than your character to gain EXP. If your pet is higher, use the Breeder’s de-leveling service. Also, if a player uses a pet that is significantly higher level than they are, the pet becomes weaker — so keep your pets close to your level.
Where can I get +25 pet weapons?
Farm ranked weapons (Rare to Mythical) in endgame maps like the Treasury of Spirits. These can then be enchanted or donated for in the item shop.
Can I use two unities at once?
Yes! Certain Gold Star pets allow you to have both their unique unity and a standard unity (like Mystic Koala) active simultaneously.
How do I make my pet follow me again?
If your pet gets stuck or stops following, use a command or recall/re-summon them. In hard dungeons like Treasury, it is often safer to recall them before moving through high-damage AoE zones.
What’s the difference between Normal, Basic, Rare, Special, Unique, and Epic pets?
Pet rarities determine their base stats and scaling potential. Normal pets (Pantera, Poultry, Tortus) have a base Evo3 stat total of 476, while Unique pets (Baphomet, White Dragon, Death Tyrant) have 714 — a 50% higher base. Epic pets like Death Gladiator have 1,398 base stats. Always prioritize higher rarity pets for endgame content. Browse all 58 pet types on the Rappelz Wiki →
How do I get better boss cards for my pet?
Boss cards drop from their respective bosses and can be upgraded through combination. Start with Soul of Lunacy (healing on attack), upgrade to Ashmaw (reduces enemy defense), and aim for Devil Reviac (+200 Crit Power) or Grand Master Hector (+15% P.Atk/M.Atk) for endgame.
