Rappelz - In-Depth Creature Guide

Rappel : n. (French) Recall / Summon
The game Rappelz is named such because of its creature summoning feature.
You can tame, summon, raise, evolve and utilize the creature regardless of what job class you are.
This is an in-depth guide on creatures. Most of the data is translated from the Korean guide on Playforum and the guides are originally wrote by myself, to help the players get to know their creatures better and plan out which one would work best for their characters.

I Skills
First, in order to use creatures, you need the appropriate skills. Any beginning job class (Guide,rappelz rupees) of all the race can learn these skills.

II. Taming, Forming & Summoning
After you acquired the above skills, it is time to go out in the field and start taming the creature you wish to raise.
However, even if you have acquired the Creature Taming skill, without an empty creature card you cannot tame any creatures.
There are 4 different types of creatures - Basic, Common, Uncommon and Extra .
You can buy any basic cards (Pantera, Tortus or Poultry) from the Merchant NPCs in any of the cities other than Trainee Island, but for the other rare cards, you must either hunt monsters or buy from other players.

Once you have the right card of the creature you wish to tame, find the monster type you can tame for the creature (e.g. target any of the rappelz rupees if you wish to tame a Poultry), and use Creature Taming skill on the monster. The monster has to be in full health, or it will not work .
The taming skill will take a while to cast, and it is also possible to be attacked while you're casting the skill depending on whether the monster is aggressive or passive.
After your taming skill has been cast, the monster will start attacking you. Do not panic, as it is natural. You must kill it off , then and only then you will know if you have succeeded. If you are successful, the creature will now be sealed in your card. If not, your card will be destroyed and you will have to get a new card before you can try to tame another (cry with me!). You don't necessarily have to solo when you try to kill of tamed monster. If you're in danger, you can always get help.
