How Pets Work

Pets are companions that give passive bonuses while equipped. You can only have one pet active at a time. Each pet has:

  • A type (Combat, Mining, Farming, etc.)
  • A rarity (Common → Legendary → Mythic)
  • A level (1–100)
  • Optional Pet Items (equip one item per pet to boost it)

Pet bonuses scale with both level and rarity. A Legendary pet at Level 100 is dramatically stronger than a Rare pet at Level 1.

Rarity upgrade vs. new pet

Upgrading an existing pet's rarity (via Kat's Workshop) is usually cheaper than buying a new one at a higher rarity. Always check Kat's cost vs. Bazaar/AH price.

Pets are activity-specific

There is no single "best pet" — you should swap pets based on what you're doing. SkyHanni mod can auto-swap pets based on the tool you equip.

Pet Leveling

Pets gain XP automatically as you do the activity they're associated with. To level faster:

  • Use the correct pet for your activity — a Combat pet gains XP from killing mobs, not farming.
  • Pet XP boost from accessories and Taming skill increases XP gain.
  • Kat's Workshop — pay Kat (in Hub) coins + materials to instantly level a pet.

Kat's Workshop

Kat can upgrade pets two ways:

  1. Level up — pay coins to jump multiple levels instantly.
  2. Rarity upgrade — pay coins + items to upgrade e.g. Rare → Epic.

Kat takes time to finish (hours/days in real time). Queue your most valuable pet first.

Pet Items

Pet Items equip into your active pet's slot for passive bonuses. Some are universal, some are type-specific.

Pet Score

Pet Score is a meta-progression reward system. You earn score by:

  • Leveling pets to Level 100 (each unique pet at 100 gives score)
  • Reaching certain milestones

Pet Score rewards include:

  • Magic Find bonuses
  • Pet Luck bonuses
  • Special cosmetic items

Farm Pet Score early

Even cheap Common/Uncommon pets give Pet Score when maxed. Leveling 10–15 cheap pets to 100 is a worthwhile early investment for the Magic Find bonus.

Taming Skill

The Taming skill increases your Pet Luck — the chance to find higher-rarity pets and egg drops. It also gives XP multipliers.

Taming LevelKey Bonus
1–10Small pet luck
25+5 Pet Luck
50+10 Pet Luck total

Taming XP comes from any pet being active while you do activities. Some pets (like the Rock) give passive Taming XP.
