Get a Pet

Ah, so you want a pet! A good idea, but you are not ready to have one. Come back when you have more experience.

(Quest for characters level 15 and above.)

Ah, so you want a pet! I see you have the experience needed to keep a pet, but even so, we don't distribute pets to just anyone. First, you must demonstrate that you are qualified to raise a pet.

• Ask detailed questions.

First there is something I'd like you to do for your pet and other pet lovers. Recently, there have been monsters who have been stalking the animals and attacking them as prey. I would like for you to get rid of these monsters.

If you wish to have a pet, you must know how to love one. When you complete two or more tasks for me, I shall test you myself on your knowledge of pets. What do you think? Will you give it a try?

• I will take the task.

Let's see...There are so many!

You are from Talking Island, am I correct? In that case, you must go to your hometown and stop the slaughter of innocent animals there. Can you handle that?

Talking Island is infested with giant spiders, talon spiders and blade spiders. They are the worst offenders. These monsters are devouring innocent animals every day, so much so that their populations are rapidly dwindling.

You must kill these monsters and bring proof of your victory. Now, if everything is clear, be off!

Let's see...There are so many of them...

Oh yes, you are an Elf, aren't you? In that case, you must go to your hometown and stop the slaughter of the animals there. Can you handle that?

In the Elven Forest you will find the crimson spider, the hook spider and the pincer spider. These are the worst offenders. If they are allowed to continue many species will surely become extinct. You must kill them and stop this slaughter of innocents. When you are done bring proof of you victory. Now, if everything is clear, be off!

Let's see...There are so many of them...

Oh, yes, you are a Dark Elf, aren't you? In that case, you must go to your hometown and stop the slaughter of the animals there. Do you think you can handle this task?

In the Dark Elven Forest, you will find the lesser dark horror, the dark horror and the prowler. They are the worst offenders in the Dark Elven Forest. They are killing and consuming the animals at an unsustainable rate.

You must kill them to stop this injustice! Please bring us proof of your victory. Now, if everything is clear, be off!

Let's see...There are so many of them...

Oh yes, you are an Orc, aren't you? In that case, you must go to your hometown and stop the slaughter of innocent animals there. Can you handle that?

If you go to the Immortal Plateau you will find the kasha spider, kasha fang spiders and kasha blade spiders. They are the worst offenders in that area. They are killing off the animals at an unsustainable rate.

You must go and kill them and bring back proof of your victory! Now, if everything is clear, be off!

Let's see...There are so many of them...

Oh, yes, you are a Dwarf, aren't you? In that case, you must go to your hometown and stop the slaughter of innocent animals there. Do you think you can handle this task?

In the Spine Mountains Mining Zone you will find the hunter tarantula and plunder tarantula. They are the worst offenders in the that area. They are killing and devouring animals every day. Soon there will be no animals left!

You must kill these monsters and bring proof of your victory. Now, if everything is clear, be off!

Let me see... There are several of those who abuse animals...

Hey you -- Kamael! Why don't you go back to your homeland and take care of those animal killers? It's a simple quest, but worthwhile.

In Mimir's Forest, you will find Crimson Spiders, who are the worst trasgressors. They delight in feasting on animals for both food and pleasure, so the animals living near the forest are terribly endangered.

Of course, I'll want you to bring me proof that you have kept your word. How can I be expected to believe you if you come back empty-handed, eh? Any other questions? No? Then good luck!

What, you're still here?

Didn't I give you the list of the monsters you must kill? Go now and get rid of those filthy animal killers! Leave now!

Is that the best you can do? That is not nearly enough! Go and slay some more of the evil animal killers.

Ah, yes, I see! You have brought 50 of them! Well done!

Soon you will be ready to own your own pet!

I hope you didn't think that was the only thing you had to do to prove that you were ready! Oh, no, my friend... You are just ready for the next task...

• Ask about the next task

Your next task is to learn the basics about the pets. Without basic knowledge, you'll never be able to care for a pet. You may not know it, but I am the branch office manager of the Animal Lovers Association. We take care of everything concerning pets, and screen all candidates to make sure they qualify to raise a pet. Only qualified people will receive pets.

The members of the Animal Lovers Association are spread out all over the world. It is, in fact, a large organization. I want you to meet the members of our Animal Lovers Association, and come back after you have gained knowledge about pets from them. Do you understand? I shall give you the list of people that you need to meet. Come back to me once you have met all the members on the list.

But be aware, just meeting them is not enough. You must listen to what they say, and learn about pets from them. Once you've done that, I shall test you myself. Our members will give you plenty of helpful information. Just listen carefully to them and you will do fine on my test.

So, have you met the members of the Animal Lovers Association like I asked? Well done! Now I will test the knowledge that you've learned from our members. There are ten questions in all. If you make even one mistake, you'll fail the examination and won't be able to get a pet!

As soon as you decide to take the test, you'll have your questions. What do you say, are you ready for the test?

• I am ready for the test.

No, sorry...You failed the test! You made a worthy effort but it wasn't enough. No pet for you.

Oh, I hate to see you look so sad, I suppose I can give you one more chance. You can take the test again, but it won't be the same, of course...First you must meet with the animal lovers association members again and take some lessons from them. Then you can take the test again.

Congratulations! You answered every question correctly! I acknowledge that you are qualified to keep a pet. May you always keep a loving and caring mind for animals and never forget the true value of your pet. If you have any questions at all feel free to come here to consult with me anytime.

Hey, aren't you supposed to be meeting with the animal lovers association members?

Did you forget? OK, I'll repeat it one more time. Go and meet the Gatekeeper Bella of the Town of Gludio, the Guard Metty of the Town of Dion, and the Jeweler Ellie in the Town of Giran. Is that clear?

• "I wish to learn about pets."

Pets help their owners in a number of ways.

If your inventory is low or you have exceeded your weight limit, you can use your pets to carry some of your items. Just be careful not to use your pets too often on errands, no matter how useful they may be.

If your pets die, now you can resurrect them without the time limit of 24 hours. No need to worry about losing your pets forever!

• Next

Your pet shall be a wolf. You must learn more about them.

Wolves are biologically classified as canines. Canines are extremely varied, and include dogs, raccoons, foxes, jackals, and even timberwolves. The lifespan of wolves in the wild is unknown, but wolves in captivity can live from 12 to 15 years.

Yes, I am a member of the animal lover's association. Why did you want to see me? I am very busy. Speak up!

• "Tell me about the pets."

So, you want to learn about pets? I'll tell you everything I know.

First of all, the wolf. This is the first pet that you will breed. A wolf's sense of smell can detect an object as far as 2.4 km away. They hunt in packs of 7-14 with a male leader.

Fully grown they are no larger than a man, and can be distinguished from dogs by their drooping tails.

There are also many kinds of wild wolves in Aden, and they vary from region to region. Around here you will find Dire Wolves, the oldest and most primitive type. In Elmore, to the far north, there are Kasha Wolves in Orc country and Black Wolves in the Dwarf lands.

How did you know that I am a member of the animal lover's association? Ah, I see - Mr. Martin spoke of me. So, what can I do for you?

• "I wish to learn about pets."

We should talk about the wolf that you will be raising...

I must first explain their reproductive cycle. A wolf's fertility period is normally 1-2 months, and the pregnancy lasts for approximately 60-62 days. Normally, they will give birth to 3-6 cubs, but can produce up to 10 cubs at a time. They create a very safe home for their young ones. Places such as between rocks, under cliffs, and caves.

Wolves are more omnivirous than assumed. A full grown wolf can easily devour a calf or goat whole. Wolves also eat the flesh of dead animals, wild pheasants, and even berries. They can go without food for 5-6 days, but cannot live long without water.
