Normal Pets and Pets in the Pet System
In Metin2, there are normal pets with fixed bonuses and pets in the Pet System, which are further developed through their own system mechanics.
Normal pets are summoned via their respective pet seal. Depending on the pet, they provide fixed bonuses, for example attack values, HP, EXP bonuses or automatic item pickup.
Pets in the Pet System originate from pet eggs. They can gain experience, level up and learn skills. A pet in the Pet System can only be summoned if its level is not higher than the level of your own character.

Levelling Pets in the Pet System
For a pet in the Pet System to level up, it must be summoned and actively accompany the character. To level up, the pet needs normal experience and item experience.
Normal experience is represented by four red orbs and makes up 90 % of the required experience. The pet receives this experience proportionally when the character kills monsters. The experience is not deducted from the character's experience points.
Item experience is represented by a blue orb and makes up 10 % of the required experience. It is filled by feeding equipment items to the pet. The experience received depends on the NPC price of the items fed: 2 Yang equals 1 experience point.
Lifespan and Resurrection
Pets in the Pet System receive a random maximum lifespan when they hatch. This lifespan runs in real time.
The lifespan can be refilled by feeding other pets, pet eggs or a Protein Snack to the pet. If the lifespan drops to zero, the pet dies.
A dead pet can be resurrected with a Protein Snack. This resets the pet's age. With a Divine Protein Snack, a pet can be resurrected with 80 % of its original age. One Divine Protein Snack is required per 10 days of age.
Skills of Pets in the Pet System
Pets in the Pet System can learn skills from the Heroic level onwards. In total, there are 23 different pet skills.
The skills can be active or passive. Passive skills are permanently active and are displayed via a buff icon. Active skills are automatically used by the pet in certain situations and have a cooldown.
The strength of the skills depends on the pet level and the skill level. In addition, different pets can have different strengths with certain skills.
