RLCraft is one of the most popular and expansive mod packs for Minecraft, giving players options not even conceivable in the original game. One of the many introduced mechanics is taming wild creatures and making some into Pets.
Tamed creatures, including Pets and Mounts, can level up, increasing their overall power and durability. However, this process is relatively obscure unless you know where to look. We’re here to help you level up your precious beasts in RLCraft and make them more combat-ready.
Leveling Up Pets in RLCraft
Leveling up your pets in RLCraft is a relatively simple ordeal. You’ll need some element charges aligned with your Pet’s (or Mount’s) element. Here’s what you can do:
- Open your Inventory or Crafting menu.
- Click the Soulgazer icon on the top right (green crystal with purple edges) to open the Beastiary.
- Select the Pet tab in the menu.
- The Pet tab lists all animals the player can use, regardless of their classification. Find the animal you want to level up.
- The information you need is its aligned element. For example, Rocs are Order-aligned.
- If you have the appropriate element charge in your Inventory, great. If not, you must find some by defeating element-aligned monsters for their drops. It might take some effort (and your Pet or Mount dying), so be prepared.
- Put the required element charge in your hand (i.e., make them the active item in your Inventory), then exit the Inventory.
- Right-click on the Pet while holding the element charge to level it up.
You can use the Beastiary to check for more information on elements and charges:
- Open the Beastiary tab.
- Select the Elements section.
- This section shows what element charges correspond to which element.
Some charges fit multiple elements, and some have numerous charges. However, some are woefully rare. For example, you need an Order-element charge to level up a Roc, which only comes from an Arcane Laser Storm Charge, which drops from a slain Beholder.
To find out where you can get a specific charge, use the Creatures tab in the Beastiary to cross-reference element combinations and possible loot.
You only get information about a creature once you’ve encountered the creature and stood next to it for at least a second. You don’t have to kill it, though.
If you want more information about a creature, like its combat statistics and where to encounter them, you must kill them many times, tame them, or use a Soulgazer.
Soulgazers can be crafted from four Bones, four Gold Ingots, and a Diamond. Use the crafting table, place the Diamond in the middle, the Bones in a cross, and the Ingots on the edges. The Soulgazer is not required to access the Beastiary itself but can be used as a shortcut for more information (and allows you to stay further away).
Take Care of Pets in RLCraft
While leveling up Pets might sound simple on paper, getting the necessary element charges can be more trouble than it’s worth for ill-equipped players. However, that’s the only way to grow in this great mod, and we highly recommend challenging yourself with these tasks to improve over time.
