Blade And Soul Details Pets

When Vengeance Breaks hits Blade and Soul on June 1st, players will be able to own pets for the first time. In an announcement posted today, NCSoft details what exactly pets will do for players. In Blade and Soul, pets won't fight. Instead, they will follow players around and, depending on their level, they will provide buffs to HP and Defense if they are kept "well fed." All pets provide the same buffs. The only differences are cosmetic.

Pets can only be used by level 50 players. They are obtained "as rare drops from Heroic dungeons, or randomly in pet pouches available from the Hongmoon Store." Depending on their quality, they can be upgraded. Pets are upgraded by using Enhancement Stones that are obtained by salvaging other pets or transmuting various materials.

You can find more information about pets—including a full chart detailing the buffs provided by pets at each level—on the official website.
