So did I screw up?

Intermediate

I was tinkering around with Zodiac pets tonight and I decided to get in to them. I chose to have the legendary give the HP&MP buff, and the Adult give me the +attribute% buff. I think i f'd it up though lol. Here's what I did.

Created the Adult pet and had it learn the hp/mp buff.
Leveled the Adult pet up to legendary and maintained the hp/mp buff upon leveling it up.

Created another Adult pet and upon summoning it, it did not allow me to choose a buff. Instead it activated the hp/mp buff.

So I've concluded that making the legendary first is what screwed me in the end. I should have made an adult pet first and assigned the +attribute% buff. Then make a second adult, and take that second adult to legendary. Upon taking the 2nd adult to legendary, it would have allowed me to give it the +hp/mp buff.

So if the above assumption is correct, is there any way to undo it. Like if I throw the pets away and start over would that erase the assigned buffs and allow me to redo it correctly. If not, I'm assuming that I'll be able to retry this during the next festival right? And, I can't believe I'm asking this, but would support be able to correct the buffs? Doubt it but it doesn't hurt to ask lol.

Thanks for reading / taking the time to respond.

Ruki, I think if I were you I would take the double hp buff and be happy. If you screwed up, at least you screwed up in a really useful way.

I made ten pets this weekend, on four different toons, and I did the hp/mp on both adults and legendaries on all of them. You'll want it eventually anyway. It does stack, so you get a 12% hp boost.

Now, I did get to choose my buffs on all of them, and what I did was just make them all, newborn, adult, legendary- before summoning and choosing for any of them. I think the problem happened when you had two adults simultaneously.

But the hp/mp is the most bang for your pet buff, so in a way, it's kinda nice that that's what you ended up with. Next time an easy festival comes around, get two more and do the percent all attributes.

My two cents, anyway

On another note, it would be really fantastic if Runewaker would make more pet events this easy and cheap. Asking us to get 20 certs for 10 elements and a chance at a crystal is kinda nuts. Four is a lot more reasonable.

I made both adult and legendary for the attributes buff.
Made Legendary first then summoned and selected attri buff
Made adult did the same.

have a newborn for the 20% xp/tp/loot buff was considering making another legendary pet but a guildie was saying that even tho he had the 2 legendary pets he could only use either 1 once per day.
Im not sure if thats because they are both the same star sign or not.

Are you saying that you got the adult buff again in one day? from what i know that is not possible as we can get only 1 adult buff a day. you might have to wait for reset and than get the ability to chose the buff for the second adult pet.

Is there a guide to those Zodiac Pets? 12% HP sounds very promising... Though I have no idea where to get these pet materials except from doing the events, and I have never in my life ever tried one >.<

the recent event is a really good one in terms of getting pet crystals and elements u might want to spam it to get as many as u want.

4 certificate gets u a bag that comes with 10 elements each time. that bag has a really good chance to get u a pet crystal, i got 2 pet crystals from doing half of the events 2 days.

I've gotten 26 bags on my dwarf and 20 on my druid...I have a ton of elements but no pet crystal on either. It's random just like the past events have been.

The buff you pick for adult and legendary pet is "global", i.e. independent of the actual pet you used to pick the buff.
If you make an adult, pick a buff, that buff will be active for every other adult pet you ever get. If you get a legendary pet, pick a buff, throw the pet away, make another legendary, the buffed you picked before will be active.
Be super careful about picking the buff.
You should be good, Cloaked.

So in order to fix this I need to wait until the next pet comes around and try again?

That's only true of particular zodiac signs, though. On Fan I have a legendary Leo and a legendary Aquarius, and they both have different buffs.

Different sign, different buff.

Now, I have no idea whether you can summon more than one adult or legendary per day, I just got her Aquarius and I've never used it. But I have heard that you can do one "amulet" (ie: same kind) of buff per day.

You can summon one (1) pet of each type (newborn/adult/legendary) per day regardless of zodiac sign/buff for their benefit(s).

You know unless you're like me and have used 80 transport runes without a crystal... this even is way worse than the fire festival one. >.< At least that one was guild transport runes which are useless anyway. x.x

So after looking here http://us.runesofmagic.com/us/zodiac-pets.html

"The type of pet does not affect the buff selection. You can own several Zodiac Pets and assign them all different buffs. You can also talk to the NPC Norah Kalesy in front of the Varanas bridge for more useful information on the Zodiac Pets."

I Read that at the bottom and thought bonus I will make a second legendary pet from the extra crystal I got. So 50 odd transport runes later I had the elements I needed to make another legendary. So I summoned it for the first time expecting to be able to pick another buff and guess what? I didn't work it just gave me the same buff I already had from the previous legendary pet I made. No window asking me to choose the buff for the first time.

Was hoping to get the 10% tp/xp from quests, figurge it would come in handy when I decide to run a stack of daily reset tickets for the extra tp.

I'm guessing you made another of the same Legendary Zodiac pet? That would explain why you get the same buffs.

I have received 3 Aquarius Pet Crystals from this months mini-games, and I have so far created 1 newborn and 1 legendary pet.

The newborn has the 20% XP/TP/Drop Rate buff of course.
The Legendary has the 10% XP/TP Bonus from QUESTS buff.

I wanted to use the 3rd crystal to make another Legendary, and to pick the 75% Drop Rate buff.

Will I be able to do that, or will I need a different pet crystal (like a Leo)?

Want to make sure before I spend 30 transport runes and 176 arcane charges..

Thank you!

I got all the crystals from this event so yes they are all the same sign.
So why doesnt the official web page state that they must be DIFFERENT starsigns?

The TYPE of pet does not affect the buff selection. You CAN own several zodiac pets and assign them all different buffs is misleading... If there was more info (The fact that they MUST be differing star signs) I would have just tossed the extra pet crystal.

I put in a ticket, hopefully they can just give me back the wind elements then its not a total loss but basically I made an extra pet for nothing.

Southern dont waste the transport runes. I gather from what the mod has posted you can only have a newborn/adult/legendary of each starsign to be able to assign different buffs.

So if you make 2 legendaries with the same star sign you will get the same buff again

Thanks Bent.. That's pretty much what I was taking away from the thread too, but I thought I'd ask just to make 100% sure. I'll save the Wind Elements for one of the other 2 Wind pets I guess.
