Raising Rudolf
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! BUT... Christmas lies in a precarious position this year in the troubled lands of Aden! Santa has all the gifts ready to deliver and his sled has been polished to a mirror sheen. But there's something very, very wrong...
Santa's reindeer have unionized and gone on strike in an attempt to earn themselves extra vacation time! This has obviously perturbed Santa, seeing as they already have a monumental 364 days off every year. So, instead of bowing to their demands, old St. Nicholas has turned to the brave adventurers of Lineage II. Help raise brand new reindeer in time for Christmas and reward the children of Aden for all the good deeds they've done this year. Who knows, there might even be something in it for those who help out too!

How to take care of Rudolph
Rudolph needs both Feeding and Affection to grow into an adult! He does not take any XP in order to grow!
Feeding Baby Rudolph
- Little Rudolph (Baby Rudolph) needs to be fed Baby Food, and then he can turn into Rudolph.
- To feed the pet, select it and double-click the icon; Baby Food. Baby Rudolph will turn into Rudolph.
Feeding Rudolf
- For Rudolph to turn into an adult Rudolph (Adult Rudolph), he'll need to be fed fruit baskets (Fruit Baskets).
- Fruit Baskets will drop from mobs.
- Rudolph will automatically pick up and eat these baskets; players can't pick them up.
Affection
- Players can show their affection to Rudolph. To do this, press "Reindeer Scratch" in the pet's action panel.
- Rudolph will ask his owner for affection every 15 minutes.
- Re-summoning the pet to stop it asking to be petted is useless.
- When the owner shows the pet affection, the Affection Level (Affection level) increases by 25%.
- The affection level can't go down, so to reach the maximum you need to use the "Reindeer Scratch" skill 4 times. And since the pet asks for affection roughly every 15 minutes, the player will need an hour to max out Affection level.
What you get for taking care of Rudolph
- When all of Rudolph's stats reach 99%, he'll turn into Adult Rudolph. The transformations come in 6 types.
- Adult Rudolph will return to Santa 10 minutes after becoming an adult. But the player keeps a whole hour of the buff.
