Vampire pet

Introduction of my tank pet.
Pet nature is devoted, weapon is magic device and type is magic def.
Pet skill is lv9 rage attack and lv6 HP absorb.
I fused two level cap meditated potum and fusion is one time.
I deciplined INT 20 times, VIT 20 times and AGI 15 times.
I used all 143 free stat point to INT acquired from fusion and leveling up stat point to full INT until INT reaches 255.
After INT 255 I use point to AGI.

My pet can beat Evil Magic Sword with defender merc and my fantasy song.

 

may i request video @ sdm or higher lvl miniboss?

 

Sdm may be hard because of poison ailment, but I'll try if there is time.

 

How long did you take to level hp absorb skill until level 6 ?

 

I started HP absorb at lv2.
It's passive skill, so I can only level it up by beating mobs.
I have to beat 300 mobs to make it lv3.
Lv3 to 4 600 mobs.
Lv4 to 5 1200 mobs.
Lv5 to 6 2400 mobs.

So I think it took about 4 hours.

To level skill you have to let pet attack mobs.
Low level mob is ok if your pet touch it accurately. Pets cannot gain exp and also skill exp with overkill damage.

So player equip drill or make ATK low not to kill mobs. Let pet kill mobs. It's the fast way to level pet skill.

 

So HP Gain skill also works via same thing like HP absorb ?
Btw, thank you for sharing leveling method, I will do my best to level HP Gain skill.

 

Yes.
You have to let your pet touch accurately and beat mob to level pet passive and buff skills.

With active attack skill except buffs, pet can gain skill exp when using it. So pet use and beat mob, pet can gain double skill exp. Attack skills of low mp cost is easier to level compared with other skills.

Buff skill leveling is same as passive.

 

Question, during leveling the pet skill, does the bonus exp from food will help or its just for leveling pet level only ?

 

It doesn't help Absorb HP or Absorb MP skills. Not sure about other skills.

By the way, for Absorb HP and Absorb MP skills, for mob counts I get;
300 (1st level increase)
600 (2nd)
1200 (3rd)
2400 (4th)
4800 (5th), and...
probably 9600 for 6th, estimated from data on a 10% skill increase I am examining. 1st through 5th increases are solid counts.

 

My pet at skill level 5 now. Grinding for pet's skill level made me sleepy. Thank you morningwood for the information

 

My advice is to tackle it a bit at a time. A good opportunity is when you are grinding daily exp emblems, that's a steady 180 kills at the start of each day.

 

Thats a good idea :O
I will do that, thank you Len >///<

 

yes yes yes.

For what it is worth, the handful of pets that I have really pushed all come near to exhausting their stamina at about 900 mobs, so there is a practical limit anyways. My ability to pay attention to what I am doing becomes exhausted well before that. One of the things that I have come to love about choosing mobs that a pet can 1-hit (and using a character that cannot kill the mob in several auto attacks) is that it makes everything unambiguous. The pet gets credit for the kill, and the kills per minute is mostly limited only by the rate at which the pet can attack and also target availability. Meanwhile, I am double-tapping the action button and most likely in a land far, far away.

I had timed a couple of pets for kill-rate, and was getting rates in the neighborhood of 12-14 mobs per minute. One Jewel Eye with 400% pattern and a Destiny Cube with 200% pattern which, as fate would have it, was IMPULSIVE and began every attack by dashing off to inspect a butterfly or something.
I was horrified when I calculated the number of hours it would take to grind through five Absorb HP skill levels, and I will not report those values here.

To make a long story even longer...
I managed to roll Absorb HP 3 on a Blaze Ant. (I don't think I will try to max the skill...shudder). It has a 120% magic auto, so... I wanted to see with my own eyes if the faster pattern made any practical difference in mob kill rate. MD/Magic Attack/Sturdy. I don't think any particular traits much matter, with the exception of the natures GENTLE (boo!) or perhaps PROACTIVE.

I use a newish char, bare-hand (sometimes with a shield equipped, but in this case not), no stat points assigned. Process lv1, Power Wave level 10 (without PW, all that running up to monsters makes me giddy). I like the lv 12 Cobre mono-culture in Icule Lake; there is no furniture for the pet to get stuck behind, my char doesn't damage them much, and they are easy for pets to one-shot. Plus, they mostly keep on spawning.

The lv1 Blaze Ant (affinity 45%, CSPD 8) couldn't kill a Cobre, but it could attack it 28 times a minute. I helped the little guy out for a half-dozen or so kills.
It took 300 mobs to get from lv3 to lv4 Absorb HP, so I guess affinity doesn't factor into it. At this point, the pet was lv21 with MATK~300 and CSPD~100. That probably doesn't much matter either, but I intend to follow my usual procedure of promptly losing all of my notes, so i wrote it here. The important thing is that the pet could one-hit the mobs.

I timed the next 600 mob kills. I didn't stop to process my bag or even to order a pizza. There was some lag, but the impact was probably under 5% the total time. Which was. A little bit. Under 25 minutes. I'm going to round that up and say 30 minutes for calculation purposes. So 1200 mobs per hour as a ballpark figure.
20 mobs per "casual" minute, which is a little better than 12-15 per minute. Taming Blaze Ants isn't the most pleasant of taming tasks, but I think I might tame more of them anyways.

 

I fully know the horror of pet skill levelling with an impulsive pet... never again too lol.

My goto setup is to kill povas (level 32). With a low level storm emblem farmer (which i refresh every time it reaches level 42), i give it a basic crafted bow (no atk power) and lil devil garb (for the aspd). Char will never kill the pova and pets can easily 1-shot it, and i can slowly collect FN+wood+med the whole time. The rest is down to focus, effort and patience... which i don't often have!

 

Pet magic auto is affected by ASPD.
Quick motion is good if you can keep the buff.

Impulsive nature annoys JP serer players as same

 

Btw i like the idea of using fantasy song to support pet. More effortless than spamming pet mp heal regularly

 

Thank you for this. I had it in my head that CSPD governed magic auto. In a few more days, I would have dumped my last stat points into DEX for this pet:


[Absorb HP 10][Rage Attack 10](First Aid)

 

@Morningwood Nice pet in the making. Its funny how we both came to the same conclusion for having equal potential in VIT+INT in a vampire pet. I'm close to maxing mine, will share in a couple days

 

It's also nice to equal INT and VIT potential

I uploaded battle vs SDM in YouTube.
I had to use circle support skills and norm attack proration to defeat and it took 6mins

 

Although it took 6 mins, its a really refreshing playstyle. Looks fun.
