Pets
A companion with a job
Put its collar on and your pet is beside you.
A pet comes as a collar. Wear it in the pet slot on your character and the animal walks with you wherever you go, with your name above it for everybody on the map to see.
The useful part is the fetching. Fight your way across a field and your pet collects what falls behind you. It only picks up what you could have picked up yourself, so it never takes loot that belongs to somebody else.
Every pet behaves the same way. What sets one apart is how it looks, so choose the one you like the sight of.
A few of them
Some have four legs, some have more, and new ones join the game over time.
How a pet behaves
What to expect once it is following you.
It keeps up
A pet stays a step or two behind you. Leave it behind by a warp or a long run and it turns up at your side again.
It fetches
When something drops that you are allowed to pick up, your pet goes and gets it and the item lands in your bag.
It leaves your things alone
Put something down on purpose and your pet will not bring it straight back.
It has its own habits
Stand still for a while and it sits, lies down or has a scratch. It says hello when it catches up with you.
It gets out of the way
Players and monsters walk straight past a pet. Nothing can attack it, and it never blocks a doorway.
It knows when to wait
While you swim, climb or ride, your pet is out of sight. It comes back the moment you are on your feet.
Rent a room of your own and your pets can live there too, wandering the floor while you are out.
Where pets come from
The Glamour Vault, the game's shop for how you look.
Pets will be sold in the Glamour Vault, the game's shop for outfits and companions. The Vault is not open yet, and the news will say when it is.
A pet changes how you look and saves you some walking. It adds nothing to your damage, your armour or your speed.
