The Homunculus is a type of creature exclusively for the Alchemist class, not to be confused with the Mercenary or Pets. Its uniqueness lies in its ability to both support and defend its owner during battle, with each one of the four types of homunculi possessing various attributes unique to each.

S Class Homunculi can only be raised by the Geneticist job class and are acquired by mutating Basic Class homunculi. They are not available in AnesisRO.

Creation

Only an Alchemist class can create an Embryo with which to summon the Homunculus. The Player must have the skill Pharmacy and have the following items in inventory:

• Morning Dew of Yggdrasil
• Seed of Life
• Glass Tube
• Medicine Bowl
• Potion Creation Guide

The items can be obtained at the Alchemist NPC and the Guide can be obtained in Prontera. Once the Embryo is created, player can then use Call Homunculus if they've completed the Bioethics Quest or spoken to the Platinum Skill NPC. The embryo will be consumed and a homunculus will spawn. Stats do not affect the type summoned; it is entirely random.

Artificial Intelligence

All Homunculus (and Mercenary) behavior is controlled by an AI script. There is a choice between the use of the default script or a custom script, but the default script is highly unpopular in its simplicity. The Homunculus will either kill steal everything (default AI'ed Vanilmirth and Filir) or will not attack anything at all (default AI'ed Amistr and Lif). For this reason, most players opt for custom AI. To switch between the Default AI and the User AI, use the /hoai command. It can also be switched in the Ragnarok Setup program by checking/unchecking the hoai checkbox in the Option tab.
