So I've snared myself quite a few various pets. Some were silver (grey) stars ...like no higher than 2 stars. At least one was green starred. Again most likely no higher than 2-3 in number. I thought I read somewhere that the color of the stars had to do with genetics and the number of stars with how strong they were to battle or something?

My issue is all of them says (NN) None for every single gene and mutation. Does this mean they have none or is it just a matter of me not having used a genetic test on them to discover their carried genes/mutations? If it is the genetic test issue is there anyway to cheaply obtain more of them as I only have the one that is a consumable.

Normally I'd just use the one I got for progressing through the explorations but I don't want to waste a one time use item if there is no way besides me donating to get another.

Also, if a pet looks basic and DOES have any hidden genes/mutations...does that mean that they can only be carried ones? Or does that mean if I use a genetic test on them they can suddenly grow wings or gain armor or get glowing marks or something?

I am thoroughly confuzzled. Please help un-confuzzle me. Thanks for any and all help!

(Also if there is a way to genetic test for other people and you feel like offering ...please be aware I cannot pay for such a service and everyone I would want to test are either in my party or on missions so I would either have to wait for them to come back or (in the case of party members) would prefer if the whole thing was done quickly so that I may be able to explore still)


Oh one other off topic question. My Qitari boy. My custom. Is he able to be traded away or is he account locked to me? (I ask because on another pet site you get 2 "progenitors" and they are account bound and unable to be traded/sold)

Being able to see Carried (trait slot with no visible trait) and Hidden (less dominant gene carried in the same slot as a more dominant visible) traits is a matter of genetic testing, yes.
You cannot see either of these in a pet's genetics section if it isn't tested (they will not suddenly become visible on the pet if it's tested, though.)

It used to be that you could obtain genetic scanners and genetic test kits via the Wheel during fests, but since the wheel has been discontinued, there is no way, outside of Newbie Packs and the Infinite Use ones purchasable from the Diamond Shop (And they are Worth It.)
There will likely be some way to get regular ones whenever the site gets its revamp and leaves Beta, but for now...

You can, however, find people who are willing to test other people's pets (for free) here

For all areas prior to the Lost Grove (lv60+ post-current-plot content) stars on wild pets correlates to how much mana they'll have once caught (1= 60, 2= 80, 3=100, 4= 120 (+20 with Fabled species))


- no traits

- one (1) carried trait

- two (2) trait points: one vis, or two carries

- four (4) trait points: two vis, or one vis, two carry, or four carry

- six (6) trait points: anywhere from three vis to six carry

- eight (8) trait points: Always at least two vis

Thank you so much! This helps me out quite a bit :3
