Pet Shrinking

Player can shrink a pet, making it look like a small statue. Shrunken pets weigh 25 stones. By holding your cursor over the shrunken pet, you can get info on it such as stats, skills, etc. There are 3 shrinking objects in the system: Shrinking Potions, Leashes, and Hitching Posts (see Taming Craft for details).

Taming Craft

Tamers can make items such as potions, dyes, house addons, etc, all in relation to taming, using the Brush tool (bought from Animal Trainers). This gives Tamers more of a profitable market than just plain old bank sitting, spamming "Selling Nightmare". Tamers can shrink their pets and sell them on vendors just as easy!

Pet Bonding

Using a deed

Players can bond their pet(s) by buying a pet bonding deed from the vendor stone at the Town Center. After buying a pet bonding deed, double click it and target a pet (not shrunken).

Using food

In addition to buying a pet bonding deed, your pet can also bond naturally after one real world week. When you first tame your pet, feed it. To find out which foods it will eat, you will need to use Animal Lore on it. After one real world week of having your pet in either your house, pack, or stable, feed it again and it will bond to you.

Bonded pet benefits

By bonding a pet, your pet will turn into a ghost upon death, giving you the option of resurrecting it. (The pet resurrection stone can be found to the west of Britain Bank next to the ankh.) Bonded pets can also recall with you.

Pet Stat Loss

When bonded pets die, they have a 25% chance to suffer a stat loss. There are 3 different things that could happen upon death:

  • The pet's ability points could be halved upon death
  • The pets total exp could be halved upon death
  • The pet can suffer a 5% stat loss (strength, intelligence, dexterity).
