Boss pets

Boss pets are pets that resemble miniature boss monsters. There are two broad types of boss pets – those unlocked by specific drop by the boss in question, and those unlocked by other means.

Unlocking all boss pets is one of the requirements for the Insane Final Boss title.

Mechanics[edit | edit source]

The mechanics for the drop chance of the unlock item of boss pets released on 5 January 2015 is as follows:^[1]

Each boss has a base drop chance of the item, represented as ${\frac {1}{x}}$ ${\frac {1}{x}}$ . For example, General Graardor's decaying tooth has a base drop chance of 1/5000.
- Bosses with a hard mode have a drop chance that is 5 times higher when killed in that mode. For example, the decaying tooth is 1/1000 in hard mode. Bosses with a challenge mode - e.g. bosses in The Heart - have a doubled drop chance in that mode.
Each boss has an associated threshold, which is a number $y$ $y$ . For example, General Graardor's threshold is 1000. This number relates to the total kills of the boss recorded in the player's Beasts tab in the Adventures interface.
- With the exception of Tess, the thresholds are all 1/5 of the drop chance's denominator multiplied by the number of pets. For example, the Dagannoth Kings have a drop chance of X/2500. One-fifth of 2500 is 500, but there are 3 pets, so the threshold is 3×500, or 1500.
- This threshold modifier does not apply to Vindicta or the Twin Furies.
For every $y$ $y$ recorded kills the player has of the boss, the numerator of the drop chance increases by 1.
- This is rounded down, so having 1999 recorded General Graardor kills is treated the same as 1000 recorded General Graardor kills.
- For bosses with a hard mode, the two kill counts are added together when checking the number of times the threshold has been met. Normal mode and hard mode kills are weighted equally; i.e. 1 hard mode kill has the same effect on increasing the drop chance as 1 normal mode kill does.
- The numerator is capped at 10, so the drop chance will no longer increase once the threshold has been passed 9 times.
- For example, a player with 2464 General Graardor kills and 603 hard mode General Graardor kills has 3067 total kills, so their decaying tooth drop chance numerator is increased by 3, giving a drop chance of 4/5000 (1/1250) in normal mode and 4/1000 (1/250) in hard mode.

In a purely mathematical format your chance $f$ of receiving a pet on any particular kill is

f={\frac {1+\min(\lfloor {\frac {K+K_{H}}{D\times P\div 5}}\rfloor ,9)}{D}}

Where:

$K$ is your normal mode kill count and $K_{H}$ is your hard mode kill count
$D$ is the denominator of the base drop rate
$P$ $P$ is the number of pets available from the boss
- This can be simplified such that ( ${D\times P\div 5}$ ) is the threshold value, everytime this value is reached in killcount is ( $K+K_{H}$ ), the chance of receiving a pet: $f={\frac {1+\min(\lfloor {thresholds\ hit}\rfloor ,9)}{D}}$
- This effectively makes each threshold reached change the pet base denominator to be ${\frac {D}{thresholds\ hit*}}$ where $*$ is up to a maximum of 9 times.

Pets unlocked by drops[edit | edit source]

The majority of these pets were added in the boss pets update on 5 January 2015. They are all unlocked by obtaining a specific item drop from the relevant boss. A server-wide broadcast occurs when a player receives a drop. When the player uses the item, the item is consumed and the pet is unlocked with the message: As you touch the artefact, a familiar face approaches you. Congratulations! You have unlocked the pet: <pet unlocked>.

Pets can be obtained while LootShare is active; however, they are not distributed via LootShare. Boss pets are always given to the player who would have obtained the drop if LootShare was not active.

Each of these pets can be examined (by any player) to display the number of kills their owner has against the corresponding boss. They can also be used to override Summoning familiars from the boss pets section of the pets interface. If used this way, the overridden familiar will show the relevant killcount upon being examined, beneath the normal familiar examine.

Update history[edit | edit source]

The update history project is a work-in-progress – not all updates to this topic may be covered below. See here for how to help out!

patch 29 January 2018 (Update):
- Pet examines now display the full kill count when a boss is prestiged.

patch 10 August 2015 (Update):
- Players can once again interact with their boss pets via the familiar medallion.

ninja 19 January 2015 (Update):
- Boss pets will now show the tier 3 loot beam as the previously-used tier 1 loot beam was not always appearing.

Trivia[edit | edit source]

The Queen Black Dragonling and Dagannoth hatchlings were originally not planned to be released with the other pets, due to the Queen Black Dragon being "too big" and the Dagannoth Kings having old animations. Due to player feedback, they were included with the other pets.
The original concept was to allow players to obtain the pets by either getting the item as a drop, or by gambling reaper points for a random pet. The latter was scrapped later on.
For a short while after the update, you would get a notification in your chatbox saying "Your favourite bosses can now be obtained as pets, so what are you waiting for? Get out and catch them all!" This is a reference to the Pokémon franchise.
In the first batch of boss pets, all examine texts were plays on their larger counterparts' examines.

[6] Jagex. Mod Chris L's Twitter account. 8 February 2015. (Archived from the original on 24 March 2015.) Mod Chris L: "1/5k per drop, so should be 1/1k kills"

[common_mazcab_rates-12] Mod William. "Patch Notes (20 February 2017)." 20 February 2017. Recent Game Updates Forums. Mod William: "Two new boss pets have been added to the game, Yakaminu (Yakamaru) and Diddyzag (Beastmaster Durzag). They are a requirement for the golden Final Boss title, and have a 1/300 drop rate, with a threshold of 60 kills. They can be won in an "off-loot" kill, and will still be awarded if a player is disconnected or leaves the group after winning the pet, before managing to claim it."

[ed_drop_rates-24] Jagex. Mod Orion's Twitter account. 10 October 2018. (Archived from the original on 17 January 2019.) Mod Orion: "Futon has 245 kills: You have a 4x higher chance to receive the pet on solo mode. You have not yet reached the threshold on group mode. That's a 4/300 (1/75) drop chance in solo. You remain on a 1/1500 in group. … I was actually wrong. It's a 5/300 (1/60) chance on solo. Regular roll + threshold + threshold + threshold + threshold."

[29] Jagex. Mod Orion's Twitter account. 24 June 2018. (Archived from the original on 17 January 2019.) Mod Orion: "I believe it's 250 solo and 1k group" In response to the question: "whats the threshold of the new pet I can't find if it was stated anywhere"
