Pets
Pets are companions that spawn in and follow you around the world at your command. Unlike items, they don't take up an inventory slot, can't be sold or traded, and have no cooldown between uses - though only one pet can be active at a time, even if you own several.
Why Bring a Pet
A happy pet gives you a speed boost while it's out, pops up a thought bubble when you're near a battle, dungeon, or collection spawn, and can perform tricks on command. Pets are also the only way to dig up the treasure chests needed for the Springs collections. Cats and dogs can additionally be dressed up in their own clothes and costumes, and any pet you own will wander around your housing lots on its own.
Keeping a Pet Happy
Each pet tracks three needs - hunger, cleanliness, and entertainment - shown as status bars. Keep those bars high and your pet stays happy, keeps its speed boost, and shows visibly happy thoughts; let them run low and the opposite happens. All three needs drain slowly while a pet sits unused, and faster while it's actively out with you.
Getting a Pet
Most pets are bought through the SC Marketplace's Pets category, though a handful come from other sources, and some were only ever available for a limited time during special events.
The Pet Trainer Job
The Pet Trainer job is built entirely around raising and training pets, including entering them into pet races and competitions against other players' pets.
