Zodiac Pets

RoM's Chapter 5 brought with it not only the dwarves but a new type of pet as well. The Zodiac pet. Zodiacs are very beneficial, even at low levels, both yours and theirs. These pets can not be obtained the same way you can get a regular pet. Zodiacs are ONLY acquired by participating in the in-game events. The  actual pet stones and the elements needed to grow the pet are bound, so you won't be finding any in the Auction House. Yep, that means you actually have to DO the events to get both of the required materials for making this kind of pet. Sorries. :p Having them is well worth the effort though.

Now, on to the links I've found on the topic.

This one is from the actual RoM website. It just gives basic info on the pets, their types and their buffs:

Now this one is from Rom-Welten. It gives a better understanding of what all is needed to grow the pets to all 3 levels and gives in depth descriptions on the buffs you can get from each level:

Please, please, please remember, I can NOT stress the enough, when you first summon your adult pet you will choose a buff. This is the buff you are stuck with for that pet (in it's adult form) until you level it to it's legendary form. The same goes for a legendary pet. When you first summon it you will choose a buff and you WILL be stuck with that buff, there's no level higher than legendary, so please, please, please read carefully before choosing. The pets are not exactly cheap to make in terms of charges required to transmute the elements into the needed materials, so you don't want to be stuck with a legendary pet with a xp/tp/drop rate buff when you really wanted an hp/mp buff. As a side note, as of right now* legendary and adult pet buffs stack, i.e. they do not cancel each other out. So, for example, let's say I have a Legendary Taurus pet with a hp/mp buff (7% max hp/mp increase) and an Adult Gemini pet with a hp/mp buff (5% max hp/mp increase). I summon them both, one after the other, I end up with a total of a 12% max hp/mp increase. Nice huh? See, I told you they were well worth the effort of doing the in-game events. :D

*I say right now because we aren't sure if this is a bug or if it is truly meant to work this way. Knowing RoM, it could be either/or.

There's really nothing more I can explain that the Rom-Welten site doesn't explain better. As always, ya'll can still feel free to message me on Facebook, in game or leave a comment here, if you have a question. I'll do my best to answer it. :D

Have a great one!!
