Tier 5 Pet Training/Alpha Appointment
Last Edited on : Dec 20, 2024, 13:04 (UTC)
Tier 4 pets can be upgraded to Tier 5 in order to unlock new capabilities. Tier 5 pets can be appointed as Alpha Pets, serving as the Pack Leader. The Pack Leader provides a unique bonus, increasing the looting speed of all other pets (Tier 1-5) that are checked out. This feature enhances pet efficiency, allowing for faster and more effective looting during adventures.
Complete the Questline
First complete the "[Pet] Domesticated Squabbles" quest in order to unlock the Tier 5 Pet Training function. This quest can be accepted through the Black Spirit from Lv. 60 and you can check your progress in the Quests (O) - Suggested tab / Available once per Family.
This quest line will take you to the wilds of Kamasylvia, where wise Obi Bellen, roosted in the Old Wisdom Tree, will request that you defeat the Ahib Griffon by summoning it in a designated location. Any Adventurer with at least TRI (III) Tuvala gear should be able to complete this task.
Once you complete the quest line, you will unlock the "Tier 5 Pet Training" button through Obi Bellen, which lets you train Tier 4 pets to Tier 5.
Craft the Training Materials
To train a Tier 5 pet, you will need a "Royal Plume" which can be crafted via Simple Alchemy (L) with the following items: Growth Reagent x10, Magical Shard x40 and Fine Lightweight Plume x800
| Item | How to Obtain |
 Growth Reagent
|
Purchase from an Old Moon shop for 60 million Silver each.
※ You can find the nearest Old Moon shop by looking for "Old Moon Manager" via Function (F8) - Find NPC in the menu. |
 Magical Shard
|
Use Heating (L) on "Sealed Black Magic Crystal" or other Black Magic Crystals of yellow item grade.
※ You can find where Sealed Black Magic Crystals drop via Adventure (F5) - Monster Zone Info in the menu. |
 Fine Lightweight Plume
|
Use Filtering (L) with items such as Lightweight Plume, Soft Ferri Feather, and Soft Kuku Bird Plume.
※ You can gather Lightweight Plume and Soft Ferri Feather by skinning Ferris and Ferricas of Navarn Steppe. |
Once you acquire a Royal Plume and have your Tier 4 pet checked in, you can use the Tier 5 Pet Training menu to train it to a Tier 5.
※ Once training is complete, said pet will no longer be able to use the "Exchange" function. Make sure to change a pet's appearance or skills via Exchange before attempting the Tier 5 Pet Training.
※ Tier 5 pets do not gain a special appearance or skill after training is complete. (You can still use Pet Appearance Change Coupons and Pet Skill Change Coupons.)
Appoint the Alpha
You can appoint a Tier 5 pet from the Pet window. First check in your pet and press the crown-shaped icon.
Only one alpha can be appointed at a time. You can choose another pet as your alpha through the same method mentioned above.
Alpha Pet Effects
Alpha pets grant the following effects:
- When the Alpha Pet is checked out, all other active pets nearby will see a 15% reduction in loot cooldown.
- The Alpha Pet's Talent gains one additional level.
* e.g.) Combat EXP +4% → +5%
* e.g.) HP +100 → +125
※ Special skills (Fishing cooldown reduced, gathering amount increase, etc.) are not affected.
- Tier 5 pets do not gain a special appearance or skill after training is complete. (You can still use Pet Appearance Change Coupons and Pet Skill Change Coupons.)
* e.g.) You cannot Exchange a Tier 5 Arctic Fox to gain a Tier 5 Polar Bear's appearance.
* e.g.) You can Exchange a Tier 4 Arctic Fox to gain a Tier 1 Arctic Fox's appearance.
- You can only have one Alpha Pet checked out at a time. Other Tier 5 pets who have not been appointed as the alpha will share the same stats as a Tier 4 pet.
