Pets: what they cost, what they do, and whether you want one

A pet is a rental. Cash Shop pets last 30 days, and the skills you buy sit on that pet. "6,000 NX for a pet and Auto HP" buys one month, then 2,000 NX a month to keep it.

A pet is comfort. It can drink potions for you on long sessions. Nobody has tested how much that is worth, and players split: some call the pet the only Cash item that matters, others say a loot key works fine and nobody needs auto-potions. If you do short sessions, you can skip it.

Getting a pet

• Free: the Snail is day 1 of The Journey Begins: level 10, 30 Maple Leaves to the , open to 18 Nov 23:59 UTC. It comes with 30 Pet Food. The pet itself expires 18 Nov 23:59 UTC however late you claim it, and it cannot be revived. It lets you try having a pet. The client lists potion and pickup abilities on the Snail that nobody has tested in Classic World, so we cannot say whether it drinks potions or loots without a paid skill. Do not buy skills for it: they vanish with it.
• Cash Shop: six pets at 3,500 NX: , , , , and .

360 days	25,500 by our sum: 3,500 plus 11 Water of Life at 2,000

Tradable Cash items sold for mesos in the week to 7 Nov, pets and included, so a free player can keep a pet alive that way. Store listings show only asking prices, so ask in chat what one recently sold for.

When time runs out the pet turns into a doll. Water of Life on a living pet adds 30 days. For a doll, bring Water of Life to in , which restores it with 30 days. So Mar is not a free alternative: both routes use the same item. One report so far says Mar also wants a from the five-question quiz by on .

Do not sell or drop the doll. And set a reminder for day 30.

Food and closeness

restores 30 Fullness. It costs 30 mesos from and 35 at grocers. Hunger is how fast a pet gets hungry: Snail 1, Kitties and Bunnies 2, Puppy 3, Black Pig 5. At these prices hunger barely matters.

The client gives two closeness numbers: adds 1 per feed, and restores Fullness and adds 100, from the Pet Booster pack. In older versions commands also raise closeness, closeness levels the pet and unlocks commands, and overfeeding can lower it. We have not confirmed those here.

moves a pet's level and closeness to another pet through Mar. We have no drop, shop or quest row for it, but one store listed one on 7 Nov, so ask players.
