Pets

This section describes the various pets you can have in Lineage II. The current pets in game are the wolf, 3 types of wyvern hatchlings, 3 types of wyvern striders, the wyverns and the baby pets: buffalo, cougar and kookaburra.

The Wolf

A wolf is a pet that can be obtained by a low level character. Wolves display great agility. Since it tends to have low physical strength, its owner should raise it with care while the pet is of a low level so that it will not die.

Unlike a hatchling, a wolf does not come with any special skills.

Obtaining a Wolf

In order to obtain a wolf, one has to complete a pet acquisition quest or receive a wolf from someone else.

// Guide by PyroAmos

The quest to obtain a wolf starts with Pet Manager Martin in Village of Gludin. [[1]] He sends you to your starter town to slay the killers of wolves (usually some type of giant spiders.) After you obtain 50 items from killing these monsters (aprox 80% drop rate) you go back to him, and he sends you to speak to the members of the animal lovers club. The members of the club are as follows.

• Gludio: Gatekeeper Bella
  • 

• Dion: Guard Metty
  • 

• Giran: Accessory Jeweler Ellie
  • 

After speaking to the Animal Lovers, return to Martin. He will give you a final quiz.

NOTE: If you miss any of the questions of the quiz, you will have to go speak to all the animal lovers again, and retake the quiz. You will not have to repeat the slaying of the wolf killers in the noobie towns though.

Hatchlings

The hatchling is far better than the wolf. Not only does it have superior fighting abilities, it also can be evolved to a strider and eventually to a wyvern.

• There are 3 types of hatchling:
  • Star Hatchling: It has high P.Atk, but low P.Def. Also has the hate skill. Consumes food at a high rate.
  • Wind Hatchling: It has low P.Atk, but high P.Def. Also has a magic attack skill. Consumes food at a medium rate.
  • Twilight Hatchling: It has low P.Atk, low P.Def. It's almost impossible to level. Consumes food at a low rate.

Strider

When a hatchling attains level 55, the hatchling can evolve into a strider through fulfilling a quest. Speak to Wiseman Cronos of Hunters Village for information about the path to obtain a strider.

A strider uses the same name as the hatchling from which it has been evolved. During the change, however, experience and other abnormal states, hunger gauge, level, etc. will all be cancelled and re-initialized. Once a hatchling gets evolved into a strider it cannot be changed back into a hatchling. A strider can be summoned at any time and from anywhere by using the appropriate item to summon it. Functions of a Strider

During hunting, a strider will engage in hunting activities alongside its master. The method to handle a strider during hunting is the same as the method used to handle other pets such as hatchlings, wolves, etc.

Transportation

The player who has summoned a strider can use the mount/dismount button in the Action window to ride a strider. While a player is riding on a strider, various status and interfaces will change.

When one is riding a strider, P. Atk. and Speed will reflect the status of the strider and other abilities will reflect those of the player who is riding the strider. However, if the level of the player is considerably lower than that of the strider, the strider' P. Atk. and Speed will receive a penalty. For example, if the level of a player is lower than the level of the strider by 5 levels or more, P. Atk. will decrease by 50% or more, and for each additional gap of 1 level, an additional 5% reduction in P. Atk. will be applied. If the level difference between a player and a strider is 10 levels or more, the strider's Speed will be reduced by half.

After mounting a strider, if the hunger gauge drops to 50% or below, a 50% reduction penalty will be applied to Speed, and mounting and dismounting will also be restricted.

As a strider's level goes up, its Speed will also increase and likewise, if a strider's level goes down, its Speed will decrease as well.

Limitations While Riding A Strider

While riding a strider, a player can still engage in basic combat. However, the player cannot use physical skills, and if the player is wearing any equipment, it cannot have any effect on the strider. However, a player's passive skills are still effective while the player is riding a strider, and the player can also use magic skills. If a player is under the influence of Heal, Buff, or De-Buff magic, it will only affect the player and not the strider.

If a player opens the inventory while riding a strider, the strider's inventory will no longer be visible. When an item is used, such as using a potion, the effect of the item is applied to the player. When escaping or teleporting, one can move to another location while riding on a strider. However, a player cannot engage in social actions, buy or sell in a private store, enchant an item, or use a dwarven workshop.

If a player goes into water while riding on a strider, the player's breath gauge will be applied, and when it disappears the rider's HP will decrease.

If a player dismounts from a strider after riding on it, the strider will automatically be returned to the inventory. This automatic conversion of a strider will also occur when a player logs out or is disconnected while riding a strider.

All the experience obtained while a player is riding a strider will be added to the player's experience. A strider consumes a lesser amount of food while a player rides it.

Death and Disappearance of a Strider

When a strider dies, what happens after that depends on whether a player was riding on it before its death, or whether it was in a pet state.

If it was a pet before dying, like other pets, it will stay for a certain time period as a corpse. Like other pets in general, if a pet does not get resurrected, it will ultimately disappear.

If the hunger gauge of a strider remains below a certain level for some time, the strider will disappear and if a player is riding on it when it happens, the strider will turn into a collar state. In the latter case, when it is summoned, its hunger gauge will show 0%.

Wyvern

The lord of the castle can ride a wyvern freely throughout the sky.

Wyverns can only be ridden by speaking with the Wyvern Manager at the uppermost floors of the castle.

To ride a wyvern, one must be riding a strider when speaking to the Wyvern Manager. B-grade crystals are required.

Wyverns, like other pets, need to be continuously fed with wyvern food. If they are not fed, they will be forcibly unsummoned and players will be returned to the closest village.

While riding a wyvern, you may not attack any monsters, but you may use the wyvern's special breath attack skill to attack other players.

You cannot pick up items while astride a wyvern, and players cannot use skills.

When /dismount is used, wyverns will promptly disappear. When the wyvern is unsummoned in mid-air, falling damage can be applied - so beware! When riding wyverns into special regions, like the top floor of the Tower of Insolence, where one cannot go under normal circumstances, dismounting is not allowed.

If the castle lord changes while the player is riding the wyvern, the former castle lord will be forcibly unmounted.

Baby Pets

Baby domestic pets can be acquired by completing pet-related quests or can be purchased from the pet manager with Pet Exchange Tickets produced in each clan hall.

The following baby pets are available:

• Baby Buffalo
• Baby Cougar
• Baby Kookaburra

Domestic pets eat Baby Spice pet food and possess lower combat ability than other pets.

Speak to the Pet Managers of Dion Castle Town, Giran Castle Town, and Gludio Castle Town to begin the quests for these baby pets.
