► Swappable Pet Items

[edit | edit source]

Starting today, you can now freely replace your pet’s held item without deleting the old item. You will be refunded the old item once it's replaced:

The cost of the swap process depends upon the rarity of the item being replaced :

  • COMMON : 25,000
  • UNCOMMON : 50,000
  • RARE : 100,000
  • EPIC : 250,000
  • LEGENDARY : 500,000
  • MYTHIC : 1,000,000 (Futureproofing)
  • DIVINE : 2,500,000 (Futureproofing)

► Other Pet Item Changes

[edit | edit source]
  • Added the Super Scrubber to Plumber Joe’s Shop for 25,000 Coins.
    • The Super Scrubber can be used to retrieve a pet item from a pet without applying another. The swap cost still applies.
  • Adjusted the Minos Relic & Hephaestus Relic to now only increase Combat Stats.
    • Designer Note: We will delay this change for the time being as it puts both the Minos & Hephaestus Relics in an awkward spot when compared to the Antique & Hephaestus remedies. In a manner akin to the Bal change from a few years back, we will bench this for the time being and revisit it in the future as part of some larger Magic Find changes that we look to have a design thread out for soon.
  • Adjusted the first line of text on all Pet Items to improve clarity.
  • Adjusted rarity of All Skills Super-Exp Boost from COMMON → UNCOMMON.
  • Adjusted rarity of Quick Claw from EPIC → LEGENDARY.
  • Adjusted rarity of Brown Bandana from RARE → EPIC.
  • Adjusted rarity of Washed-up Souvenir from LEGENDARY → EPIC.
  • Adjusted rarity of Dwarf Turtle Shelmet from RARE → EPIC.
  • Adjusted the rarity of all mythic-upgrading pet items (e.g Scuttler Shell) to MYTHIC.
  • Disabled the Recombobulation of Pet Items.
