Pet System
Star Realm's pets are a progression system, not just a follower.
| Ladder | D → C → B → A → S · one flat ladder, no branches · higher tier = better pet |
| SD tier | Special pets, event and gacha only · no synthesising into it |
| Synthesis | 4 same-tier eggs → chance at one tier up · a miss dissolves them into Pet Spirit Fragments |
📍 The NPCs#
| NPC | Location | Role |
|---|---|---|
| Pet Synthesizer | prontera 233,158 | Fuses eggs to climb the ladder |
| Pet Spirit Exchange | prontera 237,158 | Eggs for Fragments · Catalysts for Essence |
| Pet Trader | prontera 229,158 | Pet food and feeds (zeny) · taming supplies (Star Tokens) — the town Monster Tamers are gone, so this is where taming items come from |
| Pet Merchant | payon 142,104 | Pet Food, Pet Incubator and accessories |
| Pet Groomer | Geffen, Payon, Izlude, Yuno, Lighthalzen, Morocc, Morocc Ruins | Pet food, feeds and accessories |
📈 The ladder#
Every S-tier pet has a Shiny variant with a stronger effect and a permanent aura on the pet itself (see Pet Egg Effects). Shiny eggs are not in the Synthesizer pools or the Pet Spirit Exchange — nothing hands them out yet.
| Tier | Pool size |
|---|---|
| D | 14 |
| C | 17 |
| B | 28 |
| A | 28 |
| S | 10 |
| SD | 6 (event / gacha) |
A, S and SD pets cannot run away. Starving, overfeeding or dying only drops them to Awkward; the egg stays with you and they drop to the Awkward / Shy column until you feed them back up. D, C and B pets still leave at zero intimacy. Shiny variants are not covered yet.
🔨 Synthesis#
4 eggs of the same tier at the Pet Synthesizer for a chance at one tier up. A miss dissolves all four eggs into Pet Spirit Fragments — nothing else comes back. The odds compound hard.
Nothing is taken until you confirm. Once the eggs go, the roll, any re-roll and the payout run in one go, so closing the window or logging out cannot lose the eggs.
| Step | Success chance |
|---|---|
| D → C | 30% |
| C → B | 20% |
| B → A | 10% |
| A → S | 5% |
Magic Pet Catalyst#
One re-roll if the first roll fails — and you choose it before fusing. The confirm screen offers Fuse, Fuse — re-roll with the catalyst if it fails (shown only while you carry enough) and Cancel. Pick the second and a miss rolls once more on its own. The Catalysts are spent only if the first roll fails; one re-roll at most, and no question after a failed roll any more.
| Step | Catalysts needed |
|---|---|
| D → C | 1 |
| C → B | 2 |
| B → A | 3 |
| A → S | 4 |
Duplicates pay Pet Essence#
A spare egg of a species you have already registered can be salvaged: Collection window → Pets → pick the pet → Salvage duplicate. The egg is consumed and pays Pet Essence by its tier. The Synthesizer never pays Essence — a fuse that succeeds always gives you the egg, duplicate or not. 10 Essence buys one Magic Pet Catalyst at the Pet Spirit Exchange, so a duplicate S (8 Essence) is most of one.
| Egg tier | Essence |
|---|---|
| D | 1 |
| C | 2 |
| B | 3 |
| A | 5 |
| S | 8 |
Failures pay Pet Spirit Fragments#
A failed fuse returns Pet Spirit Fragments — more the higher the step:
| Failed step | Fragments |
|---|---|
| D → C | 1 |
| C → B | 2 |
| B → A | 4 |
| A → S | 8 |
Fragments buy eggs outright at the Pet Spirit Exchange (prontera 237,158):
| Buy | Cost |
|---|---|
| Random D egg | 5 Fragments |
| Random C egg | 12 Fragments |
| Random B egg | 30 Fragments |
| Random A egg | 75 Fragments |
| Random S egg | 180 Fragments |
| Magic Pet Catalyst | 10 Pet Essence |
A failed 5% A → S attempt still pays 8 Fragments, so even a long unlucky run moves you toward an egg.
🥚 Egg Collection#
Deposit a pet's egg in the Collection window → Pets and the bonus is yours for good, on every character of the account. Each collection pays once it is complete; the S-tier pets each stand alone.

A deposited egg is gone from your bag, so collect with spares: a species you already registered can be salvaged for Pet Essence instead (above).
