Useful Pets?

In all these maplestory videos I see people with three pet buffs on the top of their screen. What kind of buffs are those? Are their pets all perm? I was thinking about getting those three pumpkin pets since they're qt af, but they're not perm. ;-;

Most pet "sets" will give three automatic buffs, adding up to 15 atk/m.atk in total.

Though some of the non-perma sets have another set of buffs on top of the automatic ones, where the pets grow in size from you attacking monsters, and eventually shrink back to normal and give off one random buff each[duration about 10mins] Here's the list of all the possible buffs that I've known them to give:

all stats +5/10/15
atk/m.atk +5/10
wep/m. def +150
speed +15
HP recovery rate +15%
MP recovery rate +15%

Another tip for the pumpkin set, if you plan to get them~
Buy a water of life with reward pts the month before they expire[so around the end of December probably] and use it on the first pet once they expire in January. Then use that month's water of life to revive the second pet. You'll be missing out on a pet for only one month[January], then once the next reset comes around[February] you can get the third pet revived. From then on you can just buy one revive a month as they expire.

So basically, perma pumpkin pets for only 2.4k reward pts a month ^.^

@chrisjohnson: What is that guy talking about then? I guess I'll get these pumpkins before I regret it.

@rfighter: I think the first and only time permanent pets with buffs that came out were the Demon pets. Metus, Invidia, and the other thing.

@xeiam: Just around google, man. Idk then this is confusing. When was the last time pets came out that were perm and gave pet buffs?

@xeiam: Can you take a screenshot of your pet? Here is mine perm Chroma Bean which does not give pet buff:

@fancybiscuit: Its from some juncture in the past 10-15 months. Cannot remember the specific time or the events that coincided with it. In fact, I didn't even know about the boost when I got the item. I simply needed more pink for my character - and was happily surprised.

These are not perma and they have nothing to do with any of the majormajor events from old school maple when PB pets were a status symbol of either wealth or stupidity, lol.

Ok, I just read somewhere that the pets that give buffs are the timed ones. Perm ones don't give buffs except for something about demon pets, which I have no idea about. x.x

@ashleyattacked: I have a Chroma Bean pet too and nowhere in the description does it say it provides pet buff. Plus mine is a permanent one. Don't the ones that do provide pet buff only lasts 90 days?

Nope. Still have to renew - something which I think is, honestly, a bit of a scam. Whatever - the sale was semi clear and I knew they weren't perma so whatever.

I still hate Nexon.

@ashleyattacked: Hey, thanks for the quick response. Are your pink beans perm? I think these pumpkins are cute, but the fact that they're 90 days is a let down for me.

I have three chroma pink beans - tho I left them pink.

Having the trio out starts a buff for each pet - first 3 atk, then 5 atk and finally 7 atk. That's all cumulative as well...for a totally impact of 15 atk.

Given their usefulness and cuteness - it's a pretty damned good deal.
