New Partner System

Already reached level 66? Then you’re free to seek out your first partner. Talk to Loomey the Wandering Scholar in Highwatch to start the quest of discovery for the partner system.

You can open the list of pets and partners by clicking “Social Menu” > “Companion List”.

New partners for your adventures!

Your first partner: Cocomin

After completing the quest you’ll receive a license for your first partner: Cocomin!

Partners are a new type of servant that you can summon. They’ll follow you around the world, granting you an additional buff for you to activate.

Partners can be earned in various ways – either from the quest, from licenses or by combining together existing pets.

New parter skills

Every partner you receive has two skills which vary in strength and effect.

The bond skill is an active skill which you can use to have your pet grant you a buff. Its strength and duration depends on the strength of your partner’s fellowship to you.

Details on partner strength and fellowship can be found here:

[Official documentation] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vVjt-XMAsKaPDSNjWlRMNCXUQHlWUHp-QKnJb_NhIdw/edit#gid=0&range=A1

The gifted skill is a passive skill which is randomly determined when you use the license. This is automatically used by the partner when the criteria are fulfilled. Talent skills can be re-rolled if you have a Partner Gifted Skill Change Voucher.

A list of possible skills can be found in this overview:

[Official documentation] https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1vVjt-XMAsKaPDSNjWlRMNCXUQHlWUHp-QKnJb_NhIdw/edit#gid=2116857966&range=A1

Level and fellowship

When you use a license, you’ll receive a level 1 partner. Reaching a new level increases your partner’s fellowship to you. Partners can reach a maximum of level 10 and fellowship 50.

Your partner can earn experience points towards the next level by using another partner you no longer summon as the raw material. The fellowship of the recipient increases proportionate to the level of the sacrificed partner.

The level of fellowship has an impact on the strength and duration of bond skills, so it’s worth keeping an eye on this level and upgrading your partners wisely.

Partner window

More partner skills

In addition to the new active and passive skills, partners can also adopt the abilities of existing pets. Simply choose the option in the menu to transfer abilities such as pet pocket or auto-gather from an existing pet onto your partner.

Partners are also more adept at automatically using potions than pets. If your partner has adopted this ability, you can set the conditions for when each type of potion should be used per potion type!

Partner potion window

Companion list

The companion list displays all your available pets and partners. You start off with 10 slots in the list, and you can use Companion List Expansions to increase this up to 100.

With the new patch, you’ll also be able to add multiple pets of the same type to your list, which is of particular importance now that you can combine and develop them.

Pet development

In order to increase a pet’s level, you must feed it with items. You can use an assortment of unneeded items as fodder, including various enchanting materials, crystals and niveots, right through to relics and halidoms.

Starting with patch 81, you can also obtain pets as rewards in instances such as the Gossamer Vault. Collect Legacy Essences and exchange them for a pet of your choice. Feed items to your pet and watch it grow, then fuse it with another pet for a chance to get a new partner!

Pet development and fusion

By fusing together two pets, you can get a different pet, or with a bit of luck you might even produce a partner. The higher your pets’ level, the greater the chance of receiving a partner.

It’s also possible to continue developing a pet after it has reached level 10, but for that you’ll need an Evolution Core. The development may fail, however, in which case your pet’s level will drop back down to 9.

Caution: When fusing two pets or developing a pet beyond level 10, the resulting companion will not have any of the skills the original pet(s) had. Make sure you transfer their skills to a partner before attempting to fuse or develop them.

Costume Extraction

Is your wardrobe full of stuffy old costumes and decorations you no longer wear? From patch 81 it’ll be possible to transform vanity items into tokens which can be exchanged for something you DO want.

You’ll receive a certain number of recycling tokens depending on the type; a costume is worth more than a facial decoration, for example.

These items can be converted into tokens:

Costumes
Weapon skins
Hair decorations
Face decorations
Back decorations
Stamps

Token shop

Right-click on the tokens you’ve earned for recycling and exchange them for one of five chests. Each chest contains a certain type of item, such as a costume or weapon skin. Virtually anything is possible when you open one of these chests, and you’ll receive an item at random from a huge list of possibilities! It’s even possible that you’ll get your hands on an exclusive costume. More details can be found further below.

Here’s how the individual chests work:

Costume Chests
- Contains a random smart box which will generate a matching costume for the character who opens it
- May contain smart boxes which cannot be opened by your race or gender
Weapon Skin Chests
- Contains a weapon skin for your class
Face/Hair/Back Decoration Chests
- Contains a random item of that type
- May contain an item which cannot be worn by your gender

Exclusive contents

The chests you pick up with tokens can contain virtually any cosmetic item. But that’s not all – it’s even possible you’ll get your hands on a rare weapon skin or costume that isn’t available anywhere else.

For example, these costume variations are only available from the new system:

Dyeable Spineprism Armor
Dyeable Shimmer Bikini and Shirt (only for female characters)
Dyeable Orchid Blossom Hanbok (only for Elins)
Dyeable Rose Blossom Hanbok (only for Elins)
Dyeable Hyacinth Blossom Hanbok (only for Elins)

Please note: Even if a costume is only available for Elins or female characters, any character may receive it on opening.

Other Changes

Patch 81: Illusions of Perdition

Patch 81 will be released on the servers on 29th April and introduces a new dungeon and the powerful new partners. Please note that some of the names used here may be subject to change.Parquina’s Nest

From level 66, it will be your mission to explore lair of the giant moth in Parquina’s Nest. First of all you’ll be tested by her colossal minion Ferva. This powerful foe can make the very ground shake with its powerful blows.

Beat this gatekeeper and you can progress deeper into the nest, where you’ll need to outwit the laser security system Parquina uses to protect her egg. Make it through this section and you can confront Queen Parquina herself. She’ll use everything at her disposal to protect her brood, including sinister illusions and a deathly stare. Defeat the queen, destroy her egg and scoop up some amazing rewards!

Cute Power Bundles

Take advantage of the new partner system to get some powerful companions for your adventures. The cute partners can be learned and summoned like pets and grant you active and passive buffs. The greater your connection to your partner, the better the bonuses.

Using the new system you can also transfer pet skills such as auto-gather or the pet pocket from an existing pet onto a partner. Pets can also be leveled up and transformed into partners by giving them items to eat. Or you can fuse two pets together to get a random new pet or partner. Explore the versatile system and find your own way to make a powerful new ally from your companion!

Costume Extraction

From patch 81 you’ll be able to transform old costumes, weapon skins and decorative items into tokens which can be exchanged for mysterious chests. These chests contain a random item from the respective category – including exclusive costumes not available anywhere else.
