Wizard101 Pet Derby Guide
Pet derby is a racing mini-game in Wizard101. This page used to offer a derby "calculator". We removed it because its stats, mood effects and talent numbers could not be checked against any published source. Here is what we can say with confidence, and where to go for pet tools that do work.
What Pet Derby Is
Pet derby is a mini-game where pets race. It sits apart from the pet battle system that most pet guides cover. Final Bastion's beginner pet guide treats derby pets as a separate topic from combat pets, and so do we.
That split matters when you read pet advice online. Tips about combat talents, stats and jewels are about battle pets. They do not tell you how a pet will do in a race. If a guide gives you exact derby percentages, ask where the numbers come from.
What We Removed and Why
The old version of this page listed four derby stats, mood bonuses and penalties, several named derby talents with percentage effects, and claims about race rewards. We could not find any of those figures in a source we trust. Rather than soften them, we took them out. The old input boxes and buttons also did nothing when clicked, so we removed them too.
If you race pets, your best guide is what you see in game. Watch how your pet does over several races, and note any change after you train it or change its talents.
Verified Pet Facts (Combat Pets)
These facts come from Final Bastion and Ravenwood Academy. They describe pet growth and battle stats in general. They are not derby formulas, but they help if you are training any pet.
| Level-up | XP for this stage | Total XP |
|---|---|---|
| Baby to Teen | 125 | 125 |
| Teen to Adult | 250 | 375 |
| Adult to Ancient | 525 | 900 |
| Ancient to Epic | 1,050 | 1,950 |
| Epic to Mega | 2,125 | 4,075 |
| Mega to Ultra | 2,250 | 6,325 |
- Talents: a pet gains a talent at each level-up except Mega to Ultra. That gives 5 talents from Teen to Mega (Final Bastion).
- Jewel socket: at Ancient, a pet gains one jewel socket (Final Bastion).
- Max stats: Strength 255, Intellect 250, Agility 260, Will 260 and Power 250, for 1,275 in total (Ravenwood Academy).
- Pedigree: most good pets have a total pedigree from 75 to 90 (Final Bastion).
Where to Go Next

Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a pet derby calculator on this page?
No. We could not find published derby formulas from a source we trust, so this page gives no scoring calculator. Any score we showed would be a guess.
Is pet derby part of combat pet building?
No. Pet derby is a racing mini-game. Final Bastion's beginner pet guide treats derby pets as a separate topic from combat pets.
What pet numbers can I rely on?
For combat pets, our sources give XP per stage, the talent schedule, the Ancient jewel socket and the max stats of 255, 250, 260, 260 and 250. None of these are derby formulas.
Which tools on this site work for pets?
The Pet Stat Check and the Pet Jewel Calculator run in your browser and use only the facts listed on this page. You can find every Wizard101 tool on our calculators hub.
