If you’ve been diving into AION 2 recently, you’ve probably noticed people running around with an adorable new companion: the Baby Flomeow Pet. Introduced as an exclusive cosmetic addition through the special fromis_9 collaboration event, this little pet is quickly becoming a must-have for collectors and casual players alike.
If you are wondering how to add this cutie to your collection before the event wraps up, here is a practical guide on exactly how to unlock and make the most of it.
How to Obtain the Baby Flomeow Pet
First things first: you cannot get the Baby Flomeow by grinding standard mobs in the open world. Because it is a limited-time themed cosmetic rather than a normal monster drop, you will have to target specific promotional paths to unlock it.
Currently, there are two main ways to get your hands on it:
1. The In-Game Event and Closet Shop
If you have some premium currency burning a hole in your virtual pocket, this is the most direct route. The
Baby Flomeow pet is featured as part of the limited-time fromis_9 promotional event bundle. You can head over to the in-game shop or Closet Shop and purchase it directly using Qunas.
2. "The Case of the Stolen Stage Props" Event Questline
For those looking to earn the pet through gameplay, NCsoft introduced a dedicated collaboration questline that runs until August 12.
The premise is straightforward: you participate in a limited-time event tracking down missing performance items. Completing these tasks rewards you with event-specific currency and tokens. You can then redeem these tokens to unlock the collaboration cosmetics. Doing this event is highly recommended because it also lets you grab other themed items like the Flostick companion and the Four-Leaf Flover Wings.
Features and Upgrading Your New Pet
Aside from looking great following you around Atreia, the Baby Flomeow brings actual utility to your account.
Account-Wide Stats
Like all pets in AION 2, Baby Flomeow features an "owned effect". This means that the moment you unlock the pet, its passive stat bonuses (which can include Might, Intelligence, or HP) apply globally across your entire account. You do not have to re-earn it on your alts to get the stat boosts.
Leveling It Up
When it comes time to upgrade the pet and maximize its benefits, keep in mind that collaboration pets follow slightly different rules. Instead of feeding it standard genus souls like you would for normal world pets, you will need to use Soul Crystals. Make sure to save these specialized items specifically for your event companions to reach max level efficiently.
The fromis_9 event won’t last forever, so make sure to finish up "The Case of the Stolen Stage Props" or check out the shop before August 12 if you want to secure this limited-edition companion!
