Awesome Initial Aptitudes

According to their initial Aptitudes, the pets in Zu Online are classified into primary pets(its Aptitudes are about 1500), junior pets (about 2000)and senior pets (about 2500). (Primary pets can be gained from monsters and quests or purchased from a Pet Master. Junior pets and senior pets can only be purchased from a Pet Master now.) The Aptitudes of a pet determine the amount of stats increase to its master. In a word, the pet is better is if its Aptitudes are higher.

Savvy

Pet’s Savvy concerns how many spells the pet may learn. The pet whose Savvy is higher can learn more spells. A primary pet’s Savvy is 1 while junior or senior pet’s is 2. To raise a pet’s Savvy, it should be fed Savey Seeds. But pet’s Savvy can only reach 8 at most.
