Pets

The Cute Pet System lets you tame certain Monsters and keep them as pets that follow you and give small stat bonuses. Some pets are easy to catch and feed, others are rare or expensive to keep. On iRO, unevolved pets give their bonus at any intimacy since a patch on 12 November 2014; before that they had to be Cordial or Loyal.

• Get the monster's taming item, from monster drops or special quests.
• Double-click the item, then click the monster while it is on screen.
• A slot machine appears; click it to try your luck. On failure the item is lost; on success you get a Cute Pet Egg.

Stats do not change the success rate, but a weaker monster is easier: at 1% HP the base rate rises by up to about two thirds. A Rocker's 15% becomes about 25%. Bleeding is a handy way to bring a monster to 1 HP without killing it.

Use a Pet Incubator to hatch the egg, then feed the pet right away (right-click it and choose Feed Pet). Feeding at Hungry saves food on the way to Loyal; feeding at Neutral is faster, but never feed earlier than that. A happy pet answers with /ok; overfeeding gets /hmm or /pif, and one more feeding makes it use /omg and run away.

• A new pet starts with 100 to 399 intimacy; higher-level pets start lower and gain less per feeding.
• Each feeding adds 20 hunger points; overfeeding costs 100 intimacy.
• When you die an unevolved pet loses 20 intimacy (an evolved one loses 1).
• A starving pet loses 20 intimacy every 20 seconds (Little Poring loses 1). Intimacy does not drop while the pet is in its egg.
• Auto-feeding keeps raising intimacy, and you can rename a pet once in the pet window (Alt+J).

Each pet has its own taming item, food, optional accessory and bonus. A few examples:

Icon	Pet	Taming item	Food	Accessory	Bonus	Tame rate
	Poring	Unripe Apple	Apple Juice	Poring Pet Backpack	LUK +2, CRIT +1	20%
	Drops	Orange Juice	Yellow Herb	Poring Pet Backpack	HIT +3, ATK +3	15%
	Lunatic	Rainbow Carrot	Carrot Juice	Silk Ribbon	ATK +2, CRIT +2	15%
	Picky	Earthworm the Dude	Red Herb	Tiny Egg Shell	STR +1, ATK +5	20%
	Peco Peco	Fatty Chubby Earthworm	Pet Food	Battered Pot	Max HP +150, max SP −10	10%
	Isis	Armlet of Obedience	Pet Food	Queen's Hair Ornament	ATK +1%, MATK −1%	3%
	Deviruchi	Contract in Shadow	Shoot	Pacifier	ATK and MATK +1%, max HP and SP −3%	5%
	Baphomet Jr.	Book of Devil	Honey	Skull Helmet	Cordial: DEF and MDEF +1; Loyal: +2 (Stun resistance falls)	2%

A pet at Loyal intimacy can evolve into a stronger form if you bring the right items. Evolved pets give bonuses that grow with intimacy, but reaching Loyal again can take one to two months of auto-feeding.
