# PETS

Heroes can sometimes find eggs on their quests. Pets are an NFT that can be hatched from pet eggs. These pets can accompany Heroes on their adventures.

To hatch a pet, players must bring their eggs to the Hatchery. The costs for hatching an egg are both time, some in-game resources, and MAGIC. Three different price options will be offered to players. The options provide a decreased incubation time, and better chances at getting shiny and higher rarity pets. Some costs are egg-type dependent. 

See the breakdown below for details:

**Price Tier Dependent Costs**

| **Price Tier** | **MAGIC Cost** | **Gold Cost** | **Crystal Cost** | **Incubation Time** | **Shiny Chance** |
| -------------- | -------------- | ------------- | ---------------- | ------------------- | ---------------- |

| Medium         | 10             | 500           | 200              | 24 hours            | 10%              |
| Large          | 50             | 5000          | 200              | 20 seconds          | 100%             |

**Egg Type Dependent Costs (does not change with price tier)**

| **Egg Type** | **Material 1** | **Qty** | **Material 2** | **Qty** |
| ------------ | -------------- | ------- | -------------- | ------- |
| Blue         | Lantern-Eye    | 50      | Ironscale      | 50      |

Once a pet has hatched, your pet card will show you all the information you need to know about your new Pet. Be sure to note:

* Rarity — signified by the gem in the top right corner and noted on the back of the Pet card
* Element — the symbol above the rarity gem and noted on the back of the Pet card. A Pet’s Element determines what kind of crafting bonus, if any, the Pet will receive.
* Season — noted on the back of the Pet card. 
* Bonuses — Every Pet will receive up to three Bonuses, one each for Profession, Crafting, and Combat. **All Pets will receive a Profession bonus,** determined by the color of egg that they hatch from. The specific details of each bonus will be revealed as the features go live.
* Bonus Rarity — Each Pet Bonus also has its own rarity, including 1-Star (Common), 2-Star (Rare), and 3-Star (Mythic). Rarer bonuses will have more powerful effects!

Pets can be bought and sold via the Hatchery.
