Editing Pets

{{Pets and farming sidebar}}
'''Pets''' are companions that find items for you on Adventures, even while you are offline. They run on energy that you supply by feeding them. Pets unlock at {{GameValue|pets.unlockRequirement}} (see [[Ranks]]), after the [[Farm]].

You get your first pet by claiming an egg and hatching it. After that, eggs can drop from [[Loot Actions]] (see [[Breeding#Eggs|Eggs]]) or you can breed more.

== Species ==

There are {{GameValue|pets.petSpeciesCount}} base species. Each species prefers one Adventure type, which is its specialty.

Supporter species (Dragon, Phoenix, Visitor, Invader, Sauropod, Tyrannosaurus, Jack, Ghost and Snowman) and the current seasonal species work the same way, but they cannot be bred. See [[Supporter Perks]] and [[Menagerie#Seasonal species|seasonal species]].

== Adventures ==

An '''Adventure''' sends a pet to Fish, Hunt, [[Explore]] or Mine. The pet keeps finding items as long as it has energy, and the items wait in the pet until you claim them. Each item found costs {{GameValue|pets.petEnergyPerItem}} energy.

* A pet finds items faster as its level rises, and each [[Pet Leveling#Reincarnation|Tier]] makes every level count for more.
* Sending a pet on its species' specialty adds a {{GameValue|pets.adventures.speciesSpeedMult}} times speed bonus.
* Hunt, Explore and Mine pets that are working their specialty can also [[Prospecting|prospect]] for [[Gemerald|gemerald]]s as they go. Fish specialists do not.

== Energy and feeding ==

Feeding a pet gives it energy equal to the food item's base BC worth, and also gives it [[Pet Leveling|XP]]. Pets stop working when their energy runs out, so a bigger fleet needs more food. Feeding also produces [[Manure]], which is used for [[Fertilizer|fertilizer]] on the [[Farm]] ([[Fecality]] raises the amount).

A pet's energy capacity grows with its level and tier. [[Gluttony]] and pet boost items raise it further. The pet detail view and bulk Manage controls let you feed selected pets, and cravings are the efficient way to level (see [[Pet Leveling#Cravings|Cravings]]).

== Stables and pet space ==

'''Stables''' set how many pets can be on an Adventure at the same time. Buy them with items from the Pets page. Each Stable you own makes the next one cost more and take a more complex recipe. The purchase dialog has a '''Craft automatically''' option with '''Recursive''' on by default (see [[Crafting]]).

The total number of pets you can own is your Stables plus [[Menager]], which adds pet and egg space but does not add Adventure slots. Pets you release return to the wild, and wild pets are the parents of the eggs that drop for players.

== Buddy ==

You can set one pet as your '''Buddy'''. It shows first in your pet list and, while it is actively adventuring with energy left, it multiplies the [[Loot Action]] its species prefers by +{{GameValue|pets.buddyMultPerLv}} times for each of its levels (each Tier counts as 100 levels). An idle pet gives no benefit. Your Buddy also joins [[Bosses]] fights.

Switching Buddy has a cooldown that [[Playboy]] shortens. You can also keep one adventuring pet per Adventure type on a separate buddy list. Neither your Buddy nor buddy list pets can be released or offered to the [[Pyre]].

== Held items ==

A pet can hold one item. The held items that matter for [[Breeding]] are Cursed Charm and [[Mutagenic Sludge]], which raise the chance of [[Skin|skin]] and [[Aura|aura]] mutations in the egg and are used up when you breed. A pet that holds an item cannot be released or sacrificed, so take the item back first.

== How Pets connect to other features ==

* The [[Farm]] grows crops for food and [[Craving|craving]]s. Manure from feeding goes back to the Farm as [[Fertilizer|fertilizer]], and rare crops give pet boost items.
* [[Pet Leveling]] covers XP, Tiers and the Level Up control.
* [[Breeding]] makes new pets, and the [[Menagerie]] records every species and variant you discover.
* The [[Pyre]] lets you risk a pet for rerolls and higher tiers.
* [[Prospecting]] is how pets dig up gemeralds.
* Pets can also help against [[Bosses]] through your Buddy.

== History ==

Pets could originally gain XP from food Items, and Pet toys increased attributes such as Luck, Stamina, Intelligence and Agility. Pet features became unavailable in game update [[v7.0.0 – Winter Event, Web Client, Game Balances and More!|v7.0.0]] on December 18, 2022.

Pets returned in [[A Pets Update]] on November 5, 2024. Feeding now restored Energy as well as granting XP, and Pets could use that Energy to find Items on Adventures.
