Zaishen Menagerie Grounds

The Menagerie is an area added on Thursday, April 23, 2009. The Menagerie holds tamed pets, which are shared throughout your account.

Getting There
In the Zaishen Menagerie, speak with Gate Guard Hirvela to enter the Zaishen Menagerie Grounds.


 * All characters on your account share the menagerie.
 * Only you and your heroes have access to your Zaishen Menagerie collection.

Pet Tiers

 * Tier 1: Level 5 Base Pet (here after called "Elder")
 * Tier 2: Level 12 Elder Pet
 * Tier 3: Level 12 Aggressive and Playful Pets
 * Tier 4: Level 15 Elder Pet
 * Tier 5: Level 15 Aggressive, Playful, Hearty, and Dire Pets
 * Tier 6: Level 20 Elder Pet
 * Tier 7: Level 20 Aggressive, Playful, Hearty, and Dire Pets

Once you've unlocked a pet you'll see charmable level 5 versions of that pet roaming about in habitats specially designed to meet the pet's needs. To see higher level versions, talk to Wynn in the Training Yard (see below) and she'll bring them out. The Rainbow Phoenix can only be charmed if you leave heroes behind.

Unlocking and the Training Yard
The yard is part of the Zaishen Menagerie grounds, and has NPCs to help you unlock pets and learn more about how everything works.

Emryd, The Tamer
Bring your pets to Emryd, as well as any pets your Heroes have, and she'll unlock those tiers for you. Here's how:


 * Levels 1-11 Elder pets unlock tier 1.
 * Levels 12-14 Elder pets unlock tier 1 and 2.
 * Levels 12-14 Aggressive or Playful pets unlock tier 1, 2, and 3.
 * Levels 15-19 Elder pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, and 4.
 * Levels 15-19 Aggressive, Playful, Dire, or Hearty pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.
 * Levels 20 Elder pets unlock tier 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.
 * Levels 20 Aggressive, Playful, Dire, or Hearty pets unlock all 7 tiers.

Wynn, The Zaishen Training Captain
Speak with Wynn to get higher level versions and special evolutions of your pets. She'll also tell you about the characteristics of specific evolutions and how to train your pets to achieve that evolution.

Helena, The Zaishen Keeper
Helena unlocks tiers of pets for you in exchange for Balthazar Faction, or for a combination of Zaishen Coins and gold. You may only unlock a pet in this way if you own the pet's home campaign.

Silavor Zaishen Naturalist
Speak to Silavor to learn more about each different species of pet. He knows how they fight and how they respond to training and, if you want to tame your own, he knows where to find them in the world.

Salome Zaishen Physician
Up the staircase just north and east of the training yard, Salome can give you trivia about the various animal species that are currently in your menagerie.

Unlock Pack
It's possible to buy all pets, except Prestige pets, in the NCSoft Store, or the In-Game store.
