Getting a pet

Pets are sold in the Cash Shop. Turkey hunts can also rarely give a Baby Turkey keepsake; see Turkey Egg Hunt Quest Guide. Five pets are rare Gachapon prizes: the Black Bunny, Husky, Porcupine, Orange Tiger and Skunk. A pet from the Gachapon is permanent and never expires.

!

Warning A pet bought in the Cash Shop lasts 30 days from purchase, like most Cash Shop goods.

★

Different from the original game The five Gachapon pets are permanent, unlike pets bought in the Cash Shop.

Pickup and following

A pet stands still while it is within about 50 pixels of you. It walks after you when it falls further behind, and it teleports to you if it is more than about 150 pixels back.
The Veso Magnet makes your pet collect Vesos as it passes them. The pet picks up Vesos within about 120 pixels of itself, measured from the pet, and it skips Vesos you dropped yourself.
The Veso Magnet takes only Vesos. For other items you need an Item Pouch in the slot next to the Magnet.
When several items are in range, the pet heads for the farthest one and sweeps up everything it passes on the way.
Double-click a pet item to equip it. This works for the Veso Magnet, the HP and MP pouches and all other pet equipment.
A pet item leaves your bag when it is fitted and returns to the bag when it is removed. If your bag is full, the item stays fitted.

Pet equipment and scrolls

Pet costumes, the outfits and hats a pet wears such as the Mushroom Suit or the Red Ribbon, have upgrade slots, so you can scroll them like your own gear. Most costumes have 7 slots; a few, such as the Red Ribbon, Yellow Hat, Red Hat, Black Hat, Pink Laced Cap, Sky Blue Laced Cap, Blue Top Hat and Red Top Hat, have 5. The Golden Pig Fortune Pouch has 7. The Pet Collar and the pet skill items (the Veso Magnet, the Item Pouch, the HP and MP pouches and pet rings) have no slots. Each costume's item page shows its slot count and every scroll that fits it.

To scroll a costume:

Put the costume on your pet.
Open the Equipment window and press its PET button. The pet section opens on the right, with a tab for each pet you have out (up to three).
Drag a Scroll for Pet Equip. from the Use tab of your Item window onto the costume in the pet section. You do not need Legendary Spirit for this.

The usual scroll rules apply: the scroll is used up whether it works or not, and every try uses one upgrade slot. What the scrolls add counts toward your own stats for as long as your pet wears the costume. Hover over anything in the pet section to see its tooltip, including how many upgrades are left. A costume you owned before costumes could be scrolled was given its slots once, automatically.

Scroll	Success	Adds
Scroll for Pet Equip. for Speed	100% / 60% / 10%	Speed +1 / +2 / +3
Scroll for Pet Equip. for Jump	100% / 60% / 10%	Jump +1 / +2 / +3
Scroll for Speed for Pet Equip.	65% / 15%	Speed +2 / +3
Scroll for jump for Pet Equip.	65% / 15%	Jump +2 / +3
Scroll for Pet Equip. for STR, INT, DEX or LUK	60%	That stat +1

None of them can destroy a costume. They drop from monsters and come from the Gachapon, and the 60% and 10% Speed and Jump scrolls are Town Reputation specialties of Ximending (Speed) and the Night Market (Jump). Every one is listed on Scrolls/Pet equipment.

★

Different from the original game Pet costumes take scrolls as in the original game; in MapleVerse you scroll them while your pet wears them, in the pet section of the Equipment window.

Feeding and potions

Pets get hungry at the Pre-BB pace.
Pet Auto Feed costs 250 VX in the PET tab of the Cash Shop. Double-click it with a pet out to teach it to that pet for good. From then on the pet eats Pet Food from your bag, plain food first. Pet Food
The pet drinks exactly the potions set in the PET HP and PET MP slots.
The /automp command, such as /automp 30, needs an Auto MP Potion Pouch on the pet and an MP potion in the PET MP slot. Add off to stop it, as in /automp off.

Naming and checking your pet

Pet Name Tag is in the Cash tab. Double-click or right-click it while a pet is out, then type a name of up to 12 characters. The tag is used up only when the rename goes through. With no pet out, you get a message and keep the tag.
PET INFO is a button in Character Info. It lists the pet's costume, then every item the pet wears, and the list scrolls once there are more than three. Pet Auto Feed appears in that list once the pet has learned it.

Pet chat

When your pet says something, everyone on the same map sees it in a speech balloon over your pet, in the pet's own balloon style. If another player's screen does not show your pet, the balloon appears over you instead. For the commands your pet answers to, see Pet Commands.

Quests that need a pet

Nella's Dream can only be handed in with a pet out. The Quest Log says so.

Mounts

The Hog and the Hot Air Balloon are items. The spaceship is a skill, so you cast it rather than equip it.

Monster Rider

Kenta's Monster Riding quests give you the Monster Rider skill. It appears on the Beginner tab of the skill window, and you can put it on a hotkey.

Hog

The Hog comes from Kenta's next quest, Pheromone Perfume. Use the Pheromone Perfume to catch a Hog in Korean Folk Town. Tamable Hogs and Hoguls in the Area of Wild Hog can be caught the same way. The way in is a hidden path on Tiger Ridge.

The Hog runs at 150% whatever boots or Haste you have.
The stat window shows your mount's speed and jump.

Taming Mob

The TAMING MOB page in Character Info shows your mount, its saddle, its name, level, EXP and tiredness.

Hot Air Balloon

The Hot Air Balloon is a mount cover, and it has its own slot. To use it you need character level 70, a Hog, a Saddle and the Monster Rider skill.

Nimbus Cloud coupon

Double-click a Nimbus Cloud coupon to learn the riding skill for one day. Then use the skill from the Beginner tab of the skill window to ride, and use it again to get off.

Spaceship

The spaceship skills come from the Gaga rescue. Rescuing Gaga more than 10 times teaches them, and they are yours to keep. Casting the spaceship skill puts you aboard the UFO, and casting it again gets you off. Tap Left or Right twice and Space Dash kicks in, for a burst of speed and a little extra lift.

Common problems

"My pet won't pick up my items." The Veso Magnet takes only Vesos. Other items need an Item Pouch in the slot next to the Magnet.
"The Veso Magnet doesn't take the Vesos I walk over." The pet does the collecting, not you. It takes Vesos within about 120 pixels of itself.
"My pet ignores the Vesos I dropped." It skips Vesos you dropped yourself.
"Pet Auto Feed does nothing." Open Character Info and choose PET INFO to see whether the pet has it. Double-click the item with a pet out to teach it, and the pet then eats Pet Food from your bag.
"Pet Name Tag does nothing." It needs a pet out. Without one you get a message and keep the tag.
"There are two Item Pouches in my Cash tab." Items fitted to a pet leave the bag. A spare left over from before that change stays in the bag, so drop or sell it.
"Nella's Dream won't take my turn-in." Take a pet out first. The quest can only be handed in with one.
"My riding skill from the Nimbus Cloud coupon disappeared." The skill lasts one day.
"My Hot Air Balloon won't work." It needs character level 70, a Hog, a Saddle and the Monster Rider skill.
"Space Dash won't start." Tap Left or Right twice.
"Other players can see what my pet says." Pet chat balloons are shown to everyone on the map.
"My Scroll for Pet Equip. won't go on the costume." It only goes on a costume your pet is wearing: drag it onto the costume in the pet section of the Equipment window. Pet skill items such as the Veso Magnet and the pouches have no slots.
"Which pet items have upgrade slots?" Pet costumes, with 5 or 7. The item page and the tooltip show how many are left.
