What are Pets?
Pets are your non-human NPC companions. And they look nice next to you in a bazaar.
Pets may aide you in several activities:
- Trading: Procurement, collection and fishing.
- Adventuring: Exploring landing zones, searching for stuff and making discoveries.
- Maritime: Helps with plundering.
- Sailing: Passive caution skill.
How to choose your pet
Each character (toon) can only have one active pet at a time, so it is usually a good idea to plan ahead which pet you will want.
Most people will choose a pet by its skill set. But you can also look at the skill requirements or the looks of the pet.
If you don't plan to level up your quarters or skills you may as well make sure the skill you want is the first or the second.
The pet skill you want is one that will enhance your play style. Think of what you do in the game, go to the next section and select the ones that will benefit you the most.

How to get a pet
Once you know what skills you want (Or the looks of your pet) it is time to get it.
You can get a pet:
- As a reward from a quest or a challenge (For beginners).
- From other players. Other players may obtain them and sell it to you (Which includes premium pets).
Note: Some pets are premium and may be acquired with a consumable like:
Tip: The Expert Pet Breeder allows you to have one more pet in your quarter.
How to unlock your pet's skills
Your pet’s skills are unlocked based on your "intimacy level" and your "Pet Training" skill.
You can find this information by clicking in "character" -> "Pet information".
From the left to the right you can find:
- Your pet skills (All 3 unlocked in this example)
- Quarter's rank required (Rank 2 in this example)
- Your intimacy level (200 / all maxed in this example)
If you have a question mark in your skill it is because you do not meet all requirements to use it. Hover over the skills to see the requirements.
I'll talk about intimacy first and then I talk about the pet training skill.
What is Intimacy and how to increase it
Intimacy is a way developers found to express the bond between you and your pet. With an actual metric you can now level it up (Or increase it).
As shown above, the current maximum intimacy is 200. But you can't get it from 0 to 200 in one go.
- Pet foods (Feeding)
- Pet toys
Most pets can accept two kinds of food, one called favorite food, another one called acceptable food.
- Favorite food: Intimacy may increase up to 5 by using a favorite food.
- Acceptable food: Intimacy may increase up to 2 by using a favorite food.
There are some pets that only eat 1 kind of food, so it is automatically its favorite food.
You can always feed your pet on land or at sea.
Pet toys: Using a toy can increase up to 5 intimacy.
Note: Pet toys can only be used when your pet calls your attention at sea.
Favorite and acceptable food for each pet

Intimacy Grinding Guide
Intimacy from 0 to 30
You can basically feed your pet up to 30 without sailing.
This means getting the food he likes and using it (Just like any consumable).
Intimacy from 31 to 100
Once you get to 30 you will need to sail to be able to increase it more.
Every 5 days of sailing will allow you to increase 1 intimacy point. Please note it doesn't actually increase, it just allows you to increase it (By feeding your pet like I explained above). So 10 days at sea will allow you to increase to 2 intimacy points.
When counting the days on sailing, it counts all days between the last time you fed and now.
Recap: If your intimacy is not increasing, just sail. Yes, you have to be moving.
Intimacy from 101 to 120
After intimacy reached 100, the intimacy can be increased if your pet needs an action (e.g. your pet says he/she needs an attention, your pet feels lonely, your pet is looking a little hungry, etc.) at sea then you feed or play toy with him/her.
Intimacy from 121 to 200
After intimacy reached 120, the acceptable food cannot increase intimacy anymore, ONLY favorite food or play toy can increase the intimacy when your pet wants an action at sea.
Skills and consumables
You can shorten your grind with the Boston skill "Breeder skills 2".
Premium consumables that can also shorten your grind:
Pet Training Skill
As I said before, the pet training skill (A player skill) is necessary to acquire pet skills. It is also passive, so you don't have to "use it".
You can get it two ways (as usual):
- From a job that has it as favored (Such as Breeder and High Seeker)
- Or learn it from the NPC "Queen Consort Maria" (Antwerp).
Grinding pet training is very easy, you just have to sail around (Just like sail handling) or use your pet in landing zones (Like collecting and procuring). Make sure you have a pet with you.
You can increase the rank of your skill with Boston skill "Breeder skills 1".
General Tips
- The intimacy will remain if you transfer your pet between your characters by shared storage.
- The intimacy will be clear to 0 if you transfer your pet to another player in another account, the intimacy of previous pet will be added to your first pet in your bag (if you have).
- The intimacy won’t be decreased if you feed food but your pet doesn’t like.
- The intimacy won’t be decreased if you don’t feed your pet at all.
- That means you should always bring your pet with you even you don’t have food for them, the intimacy won’t be reduced but intimacy limit will be increased.
- You cannot feed your pet at sea if your other three skills are using already.
- Your pet will show up when you having a bazaar if your pet’s intimacy is over a certain number.
- The intimacy will be decreased if you leave your pet with the Trainer. It happens when you take a new pet to go with you, so your previous pet will switch back to a card in your inventory.
- To avoid the intimacy reducing, you can put your pet in a bank vault or strongbox.
