Pets are unlockables which give permanent bonuses.


Pets are not items and will not appear in the bank. Instead, all acquired pets can be seen within the Pets section of the Completion Log, and will also appear in the skilling minibar if acquired from a specific non-combat skill.

Once a pet is acquired, its effect is permanently active and cannot be turned off. All unlocked pets are active at the same time.

Acquiring Pets

Skill Pets

There is a pet for each of the skills in the game. The Chance to acquire a Pet on any given action of a Skill is:

[math]\displaystyle{ \dfrac{\text{Time required for action (seconds)} \times \text{Virtual level of Skill}}{25\;000\;000} \times (1 + \frac{\text{Increased Pet Chance}}{100}) }[/math]

Where [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Increased Pet Chance} }[/math] is any modifiers that increase the chances of locating a skill pet. Currently, this is limited to the Ancient Relics gamemode. For

and

Harvesting

, the Abyssal Level (not virtual level) of the skill is used in place of [math]\displaystyle{ \text{Virtual level of Skill} }[/math]. For example, a player with level 99 Crafting who has unlocked

Perpetual Haste

and is wearing the Crafting Skillcape will take 1.9 seconds to complete an action, which means each action will give a [math]\displaystyle{ \tfrac{1.9 \times 99}{25,000,000} = 0.0000075= 0.00075\text{%} }[/math] chance to earn Caaarrrlll. For combat an action is an attack. For

Corruption

, an action is an attack against a corrupted enemy and for

Esmé

an action must be performed in the Abyssal Realm. For special attacks or spells which perform consecutive hits, the action time for any hits after the first is the duration between the current hit and the previous hit, not the attack speed displayed within the

UI.

There are a few exceptions to this:

  • Larry, the Lonely Lizard is rolled when crops are harvested. The chance formula used is unique to Larry, as explained here.
  • B is rolled for each tick, with a chance of [math]\displaystyle{ \tfrac{1}{120} }[/math] per tick. A tick in Township is done automatically once per hour.
  • Error creating thumbnail: File missing
    Ty
    is rolled whenever any action is taken that rewards

    Mastery
    xp. The formula used is similar to the rest of the skill pets however it scales with the Player's Mastery Pool Percentage, which is explained here.
