Pets and Servitors: companions, summons and Allies

How each companion works

• Pet: summoned through a collar or another control item. It keeps its progression and may have an inventory and equipment appropriate to its species. Carrying a collar does not turn your character into a summoner.
• Servitor: obtained through a class skill, such as summoners’ creatures or the Dark Avenger’s panther. Its stats, duration, skills and costs depend on the particular summon.
• Ally: a full-class character occupying a party slot. Its Pet or servitor, if it can summon one, belongs to that Ally. A party holds nine characters; a summon does not add another character slot.

Getting and preparing your first Pet

• At level 15 or above, speak to Pet Manager Martin in Gludin and begin Get a Pet. Complete the tasks and questionnaire to receive a Wolf Collar; ordinary wolf monsters do not simply drop this control item.
• Keep the control item in the inventory of the character who will use it. Summon the Pet and inspect its panel before fighting. You cannot summon another Pet while a Pet or servitor is active, or while mounted.
• Buy compatible Pet equipment from a Pet Manager. A character sword or an Ally’s armor is not automatically valid wolf equipment.
• Keep the control item: it represents the Pet rather than a leftover consumable. For evolution or exchange, check the species and level required by the Pet Manager’s specific menu.

Food: High Five and Syndicate

In ordinary High Five, a Pet’s feeding reserve affects control. Compatible food in its inventory can be consumed automatically when hungry; a starving Pet may stop obeying.

Pet hunger is disabled on Syndicate. You do not need to maintain a food stack to keep a Pet obedient. This does not grant immortality, equipment, shots or free access to any class summon.

Pet food and servitor upkeep are different. A summon skill can still consume crystals or other reagents: check its description before a long fight.

Commands, survival and death

• Practice attack, follow and stop orders against an easy enemy. Check the companion’s target before sending it into a group; Pets do not all have the same defenses or healing.
• Watch HP, distance and line of sight. Moving your main character away does not guarantee its companion escapes danger: explicitly withdraw it before a pull you cannot sustain.
• If a Pet dies, treat resurrection as a separate problem from summoning. Reusing its collar is not a heal or a replacement for valid resurrection. Keep the control item and use the appropriate option or skill.
• A servitor has its own duration and disappearance rules. Check its skill and reagents before summoning again; do not assume it behaves like a persistent Pet.

XP, shots and reagents

• XP sharing depends on the companion. Pets have their own participation data, and servitors can apply the penalty associated with their summon. There is no single percentage for all companions.
• Beast Soulshots and Beast Spiritshots are companion supplies; the character weapon’s shots are different products. Check compatibility and consumption before buying a large stack.
• For an Ally’s companion, prepare shots and reagents in the main character’s inventory: Syndicate takes the resources for those actions from there. Do not treat an Ally as a second consumables warehouse.
• Before entering an instance, check its entrance rules. A summon does not replace character-level, quest or group-size requirements.

Combining an Ally with its summon

An Ally with a class summon can fight alongside it. Gambits distinguish actions performed by the Ally from actions executed by its summon: a character attack is not a Pet attack order.

Prepare the Ally’s role first, then its companion. If a healer lacks reagents, another offensive rule does not fix it: check supplies, MP and healing priorities.
