How to get a Pet (Guardian)
During the Guardians Event until 30th of July there are 3 ways of obtaining a Guardian (pet).

1. Item Mall Option (Easy Way)
2. NO Item Mall Options (Hard Way)

=> Go back to Table of Contents

 

Item Mall Option (Easy Way):

• Buy a Guardian Commemoration Box 1
  => Contains Wandering Soul + Soul Stones (10)
  Cost: 1000 CC (1x Box)
  Explanation how to obtain the pet:

1. F11 > Guardian > Right Click on "Wandering Soul" from your bag > register
2. Now your Wandering Soul will be on the left column. Choose the Wandering Soul and then right-click on your "Soul Stones" from your bag.
3. Click on "Awaken"
   => This will consume 10 Soul Stones and transform your wandering soul into a random Pet level 1. It has 100% success chance (unlike rank lvl up)

​

• Buy a Guardian Commemoration Box 2
  => Contains 1x Guardian Chest (Rank 1~3) + 1x [Rank 1] Spirit of Guardian Shard
  Cost: 2500 CC (1x Box)
  Explanation how to obtain the pet:
  1. Right Click on the Guardian Chest and open the Box
     => You will randomly receive 1x Guardian Spirit level 1 to 3
  2. F11 > Guardian > Right-Click on your "Spirit of Guardian" from your bag > "register"
     => This will register you a random pet level 1
  3. You will receive 1x Spirit of Shards Rank 1 uppon each box purchase
     (10x Comm. Boxes [2] = 10x Shards Rank 1 = 1x Spirit of Guardian Rank 1 =
     1x Random Pet Rank 1)

• Buy a Guardian Commemoration Box 3
  => Contains Guardian Chest (Rank 1~4) + [Rank 2] Spirit of Guardian Shard
  Cost: 3500 CC (1x Box)
  Explanation how to obtain the pet:
  => Same as Box 2
  Difference to Box [2]:
  • You can get Spirit of Guardian Rank 4 (very low chance)
  • You get Spirit of Shards Rank 2 (instead of Rank 1) on each purchase

NO Item Mall Options (Hard Way):

• Option 1
  You can get 1x Guardian Spirit / Month (Attendance Time = 200h)
• Option 2 (Until 30th of July)

1. Farm "Traces of Guardians". It drops in dungeons with mobs above level 150
   => Keep in mind mobs aren't allowed to be above or below 5 levels from you
2. Exchange 50 Traces for 1x Oh, Minyoung’s Mystical Creature Box
   => You will get a few items some of which are 1x Wandering Soul and 1x Shard of Soul Stone.
   You need 100 Shards of Soul Stone to get 10 Soul Stones which are needed to transform the Wandering Soul into a Level 1 Pet.
   => You get 2x Shards of Soul Stone each day (click on the Stamp below the map)
3. Explanation how to obtain the pet:

1. F11 > Guardian > Right Click on "Wandering Soul" from your bag > register
2. Now your Wandering Soul will be on the left column. Choose the Wandering Soul and then right-click on your "Soul Stones" from your bag.
3. Click on "Awaken"
   => This will consume 10 Soul Stones and transform your wandering soul into a random Pet level 1. It has 100% success chance (unlike rank lvl up)

How to get better loot (hidden trick)

• To get better loot during search expedition of your pets you need to head for long searching periods.
  • This means cancel the search immediatly and restart it until it has a searching time of at least 5 hours. (NOTE: 5h search time has only been tested and achieved with lvl3-lvl4 pets, not sure if it works for levels below)
• IMPORTANT: Each restart will consume your Soul Energy and you need to restore it with Lost Pouches.
• Lost Pouches can be obtained either by buying them at the NPC in Hefei near Illusive NPCs. (She has 2 monkeys next to her) or via Creation Box from Traces of Guardian exchange.
  => To restore the Soul Energy go to F11 > Guardian > Choose your Pet > right-click on the Lost Pouches inside your bags > Click "recharge".
• Depending on the level of the Lost Pouches your pet will get more or less energy restored.
• You are not forced to use Rank 1 pouches on Rank 1 pet. For example level 4 Lost Pouches can be used on Rank 1 Pet (will restore much more energy than Pouch level 1 but is much more expensive)

How to level up your Pet
Leveling up your pet is done by the same procedure as awakening the Wandering Soul to a Rank 1 Pet.

Procedure:

1. Navigate to F11 > Guardian
2. Chose your pet on the left side
3. Right-click on the Soul Stones from your bag
4. Press "awaken" (This will consume 10 Soul Stones)
5. IMPORTANT: Your pet might be destroyed in the process
   • From my experience Rank 1 to Rank 2 level up seems to be less than 10% success chance.

How to get Soul Stones

• Option 1 (Item Mall)
  • Purchase them directly from Item Mall
• Option 2 (Ingame)
  • Collect Shards of Soul Stones by exchanging Trace of Guardians with Boxes and open them
  • By daily attendance (2x Shards of Soul Stones / Day => Click on Stamp below the map)

Calculations
Assuming the success rate of leveling up is 10% (which by my experience with Rank 1 to Rank 2 is realistic) and it stays the same across all levels we can do the following calculation:

• For Rank 2 you need: 10 Rank 1 Pets and 100 Soul Stones
• For Rank 3 you need: 100 Rank 1 Pets and 1'000 Soul Stones
• For Rank 4 you need: 1'000 Rank 1 Pets and 10'000 Soul Stones
• For Rank 5 you need: 10'000 Rank 1 Pets and 100'000 Soul Stones

How to trade your Pet

From the Oh, Minyoung’s Mystical Creature Box which you get from exchanging 50 Traces of Guardian you can get Empty Stone Rank 1 and Rank 2.
To be able to trade your pet you have to go through the following procedure:

1. Go to F11 > Guardian
2. On the left, chose the pet you want to trade
3. Right-Click on the Empty Stone in your bag
4. Press "seal"

Now your pet gets sealed into the stone an can be traded with other players.

Thanks a lot @Cytrix .

Can You add something about using guardian`s buffs? I afraid with my luck I`m not able to try it by myself (3 boxes => 6xKG+6xMushroom) for a long time.

P.S
Thumbs up to all who are brave enought to buy Guardian Boxes.

 

Can you confirm if sealing a pet its 100% chance? Or can fail through the process of making it tradeable again?

And there are only Empty stone 1 and 2 right? So only Pet lvl 1 and 2 can be sealed? Pet 3 4 5 wont be tradeable again once you registered them?

 

sounds easier to make lv l3 pet than it is to get from boxes

 

Yes I will add some information about the buffs soon. Thanks for mentioning it.

I can not confirm if its 100% but my guess is: yes. Because it would be very stupid if you could lose your pet for wanting to trade it. Once I get my hands on some empty stone rank 1/2 I will try it on some lv1 pets and update my post.

As for now there are no empty stones higher than Rank 2. This may come in a future update but that's just me guessing.

 

It is. I upgraded my lvl2 to 3 with 2 pets and 50 soul stones but I did lose 1 lvl 2 pet

 

And i "killed"/made vanish 2 pets lvl 2 this way.
But i succeeded with one. Once again there are no official statement regarding the probabilities.So we can only guess.

Soul stones and acquiring a pet lvl 1 or 2 is already difficult/costly. Making them disapear in case of failure is really a vicious game mecanism.

 

I managed to level up 4x lvl 2 pets to level 3. Costs: over 20k cc for soul stones. Also I killed arround 15x lv2 pets.

 

Hey bro, do we have Empty Stone [3] for pet rank 3 ?? I need to seal it and trade to some1 else.

 

I'm sure someone does. I've seen them around. You might have to roar a few times to find someone selling one.

 

I’ll sell a lvl 3 empty stone if you’re on Yun server
Dm me

 

I'm on Tao server....

 

Tks bro. I will try to find 1.
