A Mage can be very powerful with the right pet that is taken well care of and fed properly. First off you need an egg which can be obtained through a drop off a dragon or purchased from fellow players, place an egg on your work bench and cast (combine) the corresponding magic on the egg, using the proper magic will make your pet stronger from birth, your pet will appear and you can name her at that time, each character can have two drakes at one time. Dragon Pets are as follow and the magic stat you need to hatch them and best magic to use. Also see related topics (Character Creation, Stat Information and Stat Totem Info)

• ¹ Black drakes require rotted meat, while all other drakes will get sick from rotted meat
• ² Rainbow drakes randomly cycle through all drake effects. (IE: one breath is gold, next is black, next red, et cetera)
• ³ Strange and Hooded are one in the same

Every 4 hours (plus variance if you log out during this time) your drake will advance a stage. There are 4 stages in a drakes life. Stage 1 is newly hatched and at the End of Stage 4 they will pass away (see next section for more information on drake deaths). 10 Minutes before the end of a Stage your drakes will start warning you with the following messages:

• Ralph the Wonderdrake is making strange noises.
• Ralph the Wonderdrake is acting strangely.

This is the time to attempt to feed your drake the appropriate egg food or color change food from the lists below. If your previous feedings have been timed well, they will accept it before they change. You may have to wait and try every minute or so if the timing has been a little out of whack, as it were. When they eat the meat, they will not enjoy it, they will just state they have eaten the meat. This is normal. When they change into the next stage a few minutes later, along with a big yellow cloud, they will state either:

• Ralph the Wonderdrake has layed an egg!
• Ralph the Wonderdrake has changed color!

Drake Death:

Drakes live for around 16 hours of play time before dying of old age. The only other way to get rid of them is to starve them, which will lead to them dying in 1-4 hours. Should you be in a graveyard when the drake starves, you will obtain absolutely nothing, you big jerk! If the drake dies naturally and you take it to the graveyard first, you will get a free dragon orchid, which can be used to access the Dragon Realm. Dragon orchids can also be obtained at a merchant for 10K. Come on! Who in their right mind thought that being mean to a drake would get you a free orchid?!?!

Also, Pure Mages (Characters with the stats 1/10/1 or 2/11/2) can imbue a totem and shatter it to set their drakes free! No orchids can be obtained from this. For more information, see the Totem Shatter guide.
