Kingshot Nutrient Potion

Nutrient Potions drive pet advancement, the step-change upgrade that sits above ordinary levelling.

Hoard it

Pet advancement is the step above levelling. Every ten levels a pet reaches a gate. The first gates take Growth Manuals alone, and the later ones take Nutrient Potions on top. The jump is big enough to be worth timing, which is why potions get a hoard verdict while the food that raises the level does not.

The gate has to be reached first. A potion spent on a pet that has not hit the level threshold does nothing, so the order is food to the threshold, then potions and manuals in a pet scoring window.

Potions come from the Beast Cage, pet event shops and event milestone rewards.

Save it or spend it?

Hoard them for a pet scoring window. Advancement is chunky enough to be worth timing.

Hold it for:

Pet scoring events

Pet advancement steps

When to spend it, by server age

Early game

Level your first keeper pet to the first gate with food and hold the potions until a pet scoring event opens.

Mid game

Your main march's pet climbs gate by gate. Bring it to the threshold with food ahead of time, then advance inside a Hall of Governors pet phase or a pet scoring event so the step also scores.

Late game

Late gates are expensive and the scoring windows are the whole plan. Keep potions and manuals roughly matched, because the late gates need both.

Tips and mistakes

Worth knowing

Advancement requires the pet to already be at the level threshold. Check before you spend.
