To upgrade a pet's rarity in Hypixel SkyBlock, you must visit Kat, a specialized Non-Player Character (NPC) who provides pet upgrade services.
Understanding Pet Rarity Upgrades with Kat
Kat offers a unique service that allows players to enhance the rarity of their pets. This process is crucial for improving a pet's stats and overall effectiveness within the game.
The Upgrade Process
When you interact with Kat for a pet rarity upgrade, the following principles apply:
- Cost in Coins: Upgrading a pet's rarity requires a payment in coins. The exact amount will vary based on several factors.
- Pet Selection: You will need to select the specific pet you wish to upgrade.
Factors Affecting Upgrade Cost
The coin cost for upgrading a pet's rarity is not fixed and is dynamically determined by various attributes of the pet you are upgrading. Understanding these factors can help you manage your in-game economy more effectively.
Here are the key elements that influence the cost:
| Factor | Description |
|---|---|
| Pet Type | Different types of pets may have varying baseline costs for rarity upgrades. |
| Current Rarity | The existing rarity of your pet influences the upgrade price; higher current rarities might entail different costs. |
| Pet Level | The current level of your pet before the upgrade directly impacts the cost. |
Level-Based Discounts
A significant advantage of upgrading pets with Kat is the discount applied based on your pet's pre-upgrade level. Pets that have achieved higher levels before their rarity upgrade will benefit from a reduction in the coin cost. This incentivizes players to level up their pets before seeking rarity enhancements.
Post-Upgrade Pet Level Adjustment
After a pet's rarity has been upgraded by Kat, its level will be automatically adjusted. This adjustment is based on the amount of experience points (XP) the pet has accumulated. This ensures that your pet's progress in terms of XP is accurately reflected in its new level, even after its rarity changes.
By understanding these mechanics, you can strategically plan your pet upgrades to optimize costs and enhance your gameplay experience in Hypixel SkyBlock.
