Pets and taming

Taming a creature

All creatures in Beastoria can be tamed, from village animals to the rarest monsters. Capture takes four steps:

1. Prepare an empty card. Its rarity must match the creature’s. Empty cards are obtained mainly by opening card boosters (see below).
2. Mark the target. You must stay within range: if you move too far away, the marking is interrupted.
3. Defeat it. The attempt is resolved when it is defeated, if the conditions are still met.
4. Discover the result. On success, the card receives the pet. On failure, the card is consumed.

One card for each rarity

When you target a creature, the target HUD shows its rarity icon: a paw in a frame whose colour changes with the rarity. It tells you which empty card to use: a rare card for a rare icon, an epic card for an epic icon, and so on.

Common

50%base capture

Uncommon

25%base capture

Rare

10%base capture

Epic

5%base capture

Legendary

2.5%base capture

Mythic

1%base capture

The percentage shown is the base capture rate, for a reference taming efficiency. Your efficiency multiplies it, from ×0.5 at the lowest to ×2 at the highest, and the result always stays between 1% and 95%. The rarer the creature, the harder the capture.

Card boosters

A card booster is a consumable that contains empty pet cards. Open it from your inventory: it immediately gives you 5 empty cards, each with a randomly drawn rarity.

• The first four cards follow the usual odds: common 55%, uncommon 30%, rare 10%, epic 4%, legendary 0.9%, mythic 0.1%.
• The last card is guaranteed rare or better: rare 78%, epic 17%, legendary 4%, mythic 1%.
• You need room for all 5 cards in your inventory. Otherwise, the booster is not consumed.
• The cards you get are empty: they only hold a pet after a successful capture, and only for a creature of the same rarity.
• Rates and prices are those of the alpha and may change. The Bestiary sheets give the exact loot rate of each creature.

Your chances of success

The chance depends on the creature (its rarity) and on your taming efficiency, which grows with your Luck stat. This efficiency multiplies the base chance: displaying it as a percentage therefore does not mean “82% success”.

The pet pool

A filled card is unique: it keeps the pet, its level and its experience. You can keep three in your pool, but only one is active, and only one pet is summoned at a time. Sending a pet back costs it nothing: you recover its level and experience when you summon it again.

Four roles

Each species has its own stats and abilities, active or passive. Look at the species and the stats rather than rarity alone.

Pet rarity

Pets use the same six rarity tiers as items: common, uncommon, rare, epic, legendary, mythic. The creature's rarity also sets the rarity of the empty card to use. It does not by itself tell which role or composition is best.
