Pets

Command reference: This page documents the in-game pets command.

PET SYSTEM

In this world, many classes have the ability to summon, charm, or otherwise command pets. Each class brings a different type of pet to the battlefield, and thanks to multiclassing, you can have more than one pet at a time.

Classes that may have pets include:

• Enchanter: Can charm NPCs to fight alongside you, or summon a reactive animation.
• Necromancer: Summons undead minions to serve in battle.
• Magician: Conjures elemental pets that specialize in different roles.
• Beastlord: Summons a powerful warder tied to their primal spirit.
• Shaman: Can call forth a spiritual companion to aid them.
• Druid: May summon animal companions or nature spirits.
• Bard: Can charm enemies with songs (temporary pet).
• Shadow Knight: Summons a dark servant from beyond.

Because your character may multiclass (up to three classes), you may control **up to three pets simultaneously**, one from each class. For example:

  A character with Enchanter, Necromancer, and Magician classes might have:

• A charmed or summoned *enchanter pet*
• An *undead necromancer minion*
• A *magician elemental servant*

Each pet is tracked separately, and you can control them independently using the pets command.

ENCHANTER ANIMATIONS:

  Summoned animations are an intentional exception to normal pet commands. They
  cannot be ordered to attack, taunt, or hold because Animation Empathy is not
  currently available. An animation automatically attacks an enemy after that
  enemy directly attacks the enchanter or the animation. It will not initiate a
  fight merely because the enchanter has selected or attacked a target.

PET TAUNT:

  Pet taunt works like this..

  If ANY of your pets have taunt on, your aggro/hate will mostly transfer to
  the pet. If ALL of your pets have taunt on, then the hate will transfer
  to the highest level pet. If that highest level pet dies, your next highest
  pet will be the new highest pet, etc.

EXAMPLES:

  pets all attack

• All your pets attack your current target.

  pets bst taunt on

• Your beastlord pet will begin taunting and taking aggro.

  pets mag hold on

• Your magician pet will stop attacking automatically.

  pets nec taunt off

• Turns off taunting for your necromancer pet.

  pets health

• Shows a summary of your pet health statuses.

  pets enc leave

• Releases your enchanter pet (charm breaks or animation disappears).

  pets mag name Bruno

• Sets your preferred Magician pet name to Bruno.

      Summoned Magician pets will appear as: A fire elemental named Bruno

You can also check your pets score with the score command, while you are in the same room. Example: score <petname>.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PET ID SHORTCUTS:

Your own pets now support owner-only ID aliases in the format:

  <class-short>_pet

Examples:

  mag_pet   - Your Magician pet
  nec_pet   - Your Necromancer pet
  enc_pet   - Your Enchanter pet
  bst_pet   - Your Beastlord pet
  shm_pet   - Your Shaman pet
  dru_pet   - Your Druid pet
  brd_pet   - Your Bard charmed pet
  shd_pet   - Your Shadow Knight pet

These aliases only match for the pet's owner, so they are safe to use even in busy rooms with many pets.

Example usage:

  score mag_pet

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- PET SCALING AND SHARED STATS:

Your pets benefit from YOUR stats! Pets inherit a percentage of your character's power, making them stronger as you grow stronger. This means that gear, buffs, and rebirth bonuses that improve your stats also improve your pet's effectiveness.

SHARED OFFENSIVE STATS:

  Pets gain a portion of your:

• Spell Damage: Your pet's spells hit harder
• Spell Critical Chance: Your pet's spells can crit more often
• Spell Critical Damage: Your pet's crits hit even harder
• DoT Critical Chance: Your pet's damage over time spells can crit
• DoT Critical Damage: Your pet's DoT crits do more damage
• Bonus proc rates from rebirths: Your pets get this too!

SHARED HEALING STATS:

  Pets with healing abilities gain a portion of your:

• Heal Amount: Your pet's heals are more powerful
• Critical Heal Chance: Your pet's heals can crit
• Critical HoT Chance: Your pet's heal over time spells can crit

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR YOU:

• Better gear = Better pets
• Buffs that increase your spell damage also increase your pet's damage
• Your rebirth bonuses enhance your pet's performance
• The more you invest in your character, the stronger your pets become

NOTE ABOUT SCALING:

  Pets typically receive a scaled percentage of your stats (not 100%), so they
  benefit from your power without becoming overpowered. The exact percentage
  varies by pet type and level.

  Swarm pets (temporary summoned pets) do NOT benefit from shared stats to
  prevent abuse of short-duration mass summons.

STRATEGY TIP:

  If you're a pet class, investing in spell damage, crit chance, and other
  offensive stats benefits both YOU and YOUR PET, effectively doubling the
  value of those stats!

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- NOTE: You can also issue pet commands via macros or aliases for quicker control in combat. Some pets may not support all options (e.g., charmed pets may not cast spells).

Use your companions wisely—different pet types have different strengths and weaknesses!
