Chapter 178: Update notice (2) (1/2)

5) Change to the mounts and pets fearure : Players may now have three mounts. Aerial mounts , land mounts and water mounts .

The beast tamer subclass is now available .

Combat pets can now be purchased through pet stores and may be obtained in the wild in the form of eggs.

Note : Combat pets cannot enter dungeons , combat pets cannot enter restricted areas and towns, combat pets cannot be brought to NPC kingdoms.

Combat pets will have personalities and may not listen to their owners commands always , they can die permanently if HP reaches zero.

They can also gain EXP and level up to gain skills. Taming a higher EXP pet is difficult.

Pets need food and sustainance , a weekly charge will be deducted from the adventurers account for pet mentainance. Failure of payment for three days after the week long deadline will result in pet's death.

Pets can become tattoos on player's bodies and can be summoned using mana .

Although it seemed like a huge update , Rudra knew it was all just for show and was actually useless. Pets were a dead end  , and not worth pouring resources into. Even the best pets had very limited combat capabilities and were weaker than the users.

The cost of pet mentainance was huge , and no real benefit was there to the process. They could not be brought to dungeons and NPC kingdoms , also certain areas had pet restrictions .

Although pets could help in the wild and in PVP , they would permanently die if their HP hits zero , making nurturing them a big waste of money.

Most pets had very low HP count and defense , and players could kill them easily. Pets were a huge cheat of money , and Rudra would not fall for the scam.

Pets were only used as cute tag alongs , just like real life. Although a dog could bite a human and be effective in some scenarios , in an actual full blown war between humans , no one would ever bring their dogs.

Expecting combat proficiency out of them was useless.

Both Rudra and Karna had already obtained pet eggs that were yet to hatch , it may seem to majority player base that pets had only unlocked after the update , which was not entirely wrong. However the reality was that the pets eggs were already in the game , but only those who had found them knew about their existence .

The incubation of all eggs was long when Rudra and Karna found them , this was because the AI had ensured that even if they found the eggs they would not hatch before the second update was put in place.

Hence while their eggs would hatch soon , the majority player base who directly bought pets or found eggs , would also have pets in a comparable time duration.

Rudra knew from experience that it was always best to hatch a pet yourself and help it grow. Only then will it stay loyal and listen to all commands.

An adult pet would always have an attitude and behave according to its will , and would be difficult to deal with .
