Homunculus

Homunculi are special companions exclusive to the Alchemist and Geneticist job lines. Unlike pets, homunculi can actively fight alongside you, level up independently, and learn powerful skills.

Overview

Homunculi provide:

• Active combat support — They attack enemies and use skills
• Independent leveling — They gain EXP and grow stronger
• Unique skills — Each type has its own skill set
• Evolution system — Can evolve into Homunculus S forms
• Auto-Feed functionality — Maintain intimacy easily

ℹ️ Note: Homunculi are only available to Alchemist, Biochemist, Creator, and Geneticist classes.

Creating a Homunculus

Requirements

1. Be an Alchemist or higher class in that line
2. Learn the skill Call Homunculus (requires Pharmacy)
3. Obtain an Embryo (created via the Pharmacy skill)

Embryo Creation

Use the Pharmacy skill to create an Embryo. Required materials:

• 1 Morning Dew of Yggdrasil (#7142)
• 1 Seed of Life (#7141)
• 1 Glass Tube (#7143)

Summoning

Use Call Homunculus with an Embryo in your inventory. The type of homunculus you receive is random from the four base types.

Homunculus Types

Renaming

Unlike pets, homunculi can only be named once on HymnRO.

⚠️ Warning: Choose your homunculus's name carefully — you cannot change it later!

Intimacy

Homunculus intimacy works similarly to pets but affects their evolution potential and loyalty.

Level	Intimacy Range
Hate with Passion	1 - 100
Hate	101 - 250
Dislike	251 - 750
Indifferent	751 - 910
Loyal	911 - 1000

Intimacy Changes

Action	Effect
Feeding (proper timing)	+15 (increased to 1000% on HymnRO)
Overfeeding	Variable penalty
Homunculus gets hungry	-5 per interval
Master dies	Variable penalty (if HP > 80%)

ℹ️ Note: HymnRO has 1000% friendly rate, meaning intimacy gains from feeding are 10x faster!

Feeding

Homunculi require Zargon (#912) to be fed.

• Auto-Feed is available and recommended
• Hunger decreases over time
• When intimacy is very low (≤10), hunger rate increases dramatically

Starvation Mode

If your homunculus's hunger reaches critical levels:

• Normal hunger delay: 60 seconds
• Starving hunger delay: 20 seconds (when hunger ≤10)

⚠️ Warning: A starving homunculus loses intimacy rapidly. Always keep them fed!

Leveling

Homunculi gain their own experience from kills:

• EXP Rate: 10% of monster's EXP goes to homunculus (on HymnRO)
• Max Level (Base): 99
• Max Level (Homunculus S): 275

Level Requirements

• Evolution (to Homunculus S): Requires max level (99) base homunculus
• Growth Table: Homunculus S uses special growth tables starting at level 99

ℹ️ Note: Your homunculus must reach level 99 before it can evolve into a Homunculus S form.

Evolution

Requirements for Homunculus S

1. Base homunculus at Level 99
2. Intimacy at Loyal (911+, specifically 91100 internal value)
3. Complete the Homunculus S quest

After Evolution

• Intimacy resets to 1000 (Indifferent level)
• Access to new powerful skills
• Can level up to 275
• Uses special Homunculus S growth tables

Stats

Homunculi have their own stats that grow as they level:

Stat	Max Value	Notes
All Stats	99	When pet leveling is enabled
ATK1	500	Base attack cap
ATK2	1000	Secondary attack cap

Vaporizing

You can return your homunculus to its dormant state using Vaporize:

• Auto-Vaporize: When your HP falls below 80%, your homunculus automatically vaporizes
• Manual Vaporize: Use the skill anytime to store your homunculus
• WoE Restriction: Homunculi are NOT disabled during War of Emperium on HymnRO

💡 Tip: Vaporizing preserves your homunculus's current state including HP, intimacy, and hunger.

Combat Settings

On HymnRO, homunculi have the following combat behavior:

Setting	Behavior
Targeting	Cannot be targeted by support skills (except from master)
Aggro	Mobs prioritize homunculus over player until attacked
Speed	Copies master's speed on spawn/map change
Critical Display	Shows LUK/3+1 instead of actual crit rate
MATK	Min-MATK equals Max-MATK

Autoloot

Homunculus kills can trigger autoloot for their master.

ℹ️ Note: If you're idle, homunculus kills won't give you items or EXP. Stay active!

Idle Prevention

To prevent AFK homunculus farming:

• Idle characters won't receive EXP or items from homunculus kills
• Idle detection includes: walking, skill use, item use, attacking, and NPC interaction
• Simply commanding your homunculus does not reset idle timer

Tips for Homunculus Owners

💡 Tip:

• Enable Auto-Feed immediately after summoning
• Level your homunculus alongside your own leveling for efficiency
• Reach Loyal intimacy before attempting evolution
• Use commands to control your homunculus in battle (Alt+T opens the command window)
• Don't die! Your death can hurt your homunculus's intimacy
• Stay active — Idle characters don't benefit from homunculus kills

Useful Commands

• Alt+R — Open homunculus stat window
• Alt+T — Open homunculus command window
• Commands can be set to aggressive, passive, or follow modes
