Rarity Upgrades

How to start

Open /pets → Rarity Upgrade or use /pets upgrade. Select an eligible pet to see its current rarity, target rarity, coin quote, discount, required shard, and waiting time. The final action is Confirm Upgrade. Keep the required target-rarity shard in your inventory. A Common pet needs an Uncommon shard. An Uncommon pet needs a Rare shard. A Rare pet needs an Epic shard.

You have 1 simultaneous timed upgrade slot. When it is occupied, the menu shows Upgrade Slot Busy instead of allowing another pet to start. Decide which pet you want to commit before paying, and use Shard Workshop if your current shard inventory needs converting.

Steps

The quote is tied to the selected pet and target rarity. Inspect the quote before using Confirm Upgrade.

1. Open Rarity Upgrade and choose an eligible pet.
2. Read the target rarity, required shard, discounted coins, and completion timer.
3. Carry the target-rarity shard and enough coins for the displayed quote.
4. Choose Confirm Upgrade to start the timer.
5. Wait until the upgrade completes, then read the completion notification.
6. Open Your Pets, find the unsummoned upgraded pet, and activate it when you want to level it again.
7. Use the temporary pet XP multiplier while its duration lasts.

Reference

Multiply the pet’s level by the discount per level, up to the maximum discount. Subtract that percentage from the base coin cost.

Check the final quote before confirming. Completion resets this pet’s level and XP and starts the temporary XP bonus below.

When an upgrade cannot start

The menu rejects pets that cannot currently be upgraded, a target beyond Epic, another upgrade in progress, and missing target-rarity shards. The economy must be available for a positive coin charge. Insufficient funds stop the purchase. A shard balance change after you opened the screen can also prevent starting, so check your carried inventory before confirming again.

A failed start reports its error rather than producing a finished pet. Reopen the menu to see whether the upgrade slot is busy before trying a second payment. While an upgrade is active, the selected pet is locked from incompatible actions. Wait for completion instead of trying to withdraw or recycle it during its timer.

Worked example

Use your Pebble Whelp for this example.

For a Common pet moving to Uncommon, start from 10,000 coins and 1 Uncommon shard. Multiply its level by 0.3% to find the level discount, capped at 30%. Apply that discount to the base cost. The menu calculates the final quote for you.

After 15 minutes, the pet becomes Uncommon at level 1 with 0 XP. The temporary multiplier is 1.25× for 1 day. This multiplier affects pet XP awards. It is different from the rarity multiplier used to calculate the XP needed for levels.

Limits and rules

The upgrade path advances through Uncommon, Rare, and Epic. It does not spend an Epic shard to produce Legendary, and it does not roll Mythic. Those paths have different eligibility rules and outcomes. The pet’s level reset means high level provides a coin discount but is not preserved as the new-rarity level.

Completion adds ability slots as appropriate for the new rarity rather than making every ability trigger immediately. Cooldowns, activation conditions, family meters, and region restrictions still apply when you use the upgraded pet. A temporary XP multiplier has an expiry. It is not a permanent change to the server’s XP curve.
