Don't feed your pets, just swap them.

**TheHobbit** · 12-13-2012, 10:07 PM

Feeding your pets costs gold, if you have several pets, swap them.

I normally swap these pets:
Flap Jack
Ribbit
Granite
Blight
Cerella

When your starting out its normal to feed because pets aid you in battle. But once you progress, swap them
That's is why its important to have some pets as alternative companion.

I just recently started doing this. Or if im in town for a while i stable all of them. Not sure if its the same as being out in town

If you're too cheap to feed like me, dismiss them in a dungeon when you're waiting on a friend at the boss or just chatting in a dungeon.

**Jcyee** · 12-13-2012, 10:44 PM

how long do you have to switch them out for?

**Avelynia** · 12-13-2012, 10:56 PM

I'm kinda surprised to see there are people that aren't doing this - it never even occurred to me to actually spend the gold to feed them lol. It was difficult with only 2 pets because they won't have time to fully charge (with plays) by the time the other need to put away. But once I got 3 it got easier, and by 4 it became unnecessary for me to ever play without a pet fully or close to fully charged. I don't know how long it takes exactly, but what I do is put my pet away when it gets to half full, switch to a fully charged pet, and so on. I always check every ten minutes or so and play wit the pets I can which will help make the process more efficient

I thought everyone already knew this also. I haven't spend a single gold on feeding any pets since day one. Each of my characters have 8-10 pets that get rotated into play.

For crucial boss fights, I use powerful pets, otherwise, ill use other pets.

Feeding them wasn't so bad at first, either. I turned on the autofeed function on Guapo when I first started. Then I saw when he was level 15 that it was costing me well over 20 gold..

With gold being as difficult to earn as it is, 250 gold for 10-15 minutes of grinding(+3 minutes if you play with the pet whenever available) isn't worth the cost. I have over 200k, but it's still important to not waste money if I can save it.

Swapping is an incredible way to always have pet bonuses. If only there were a feature that could auto-swap a pet when the current one is tired. You could even set up an order for them to be swapped in.

I can't believe people with such expensive pets bother with this. If you've spent 50k+ on that flapjack/ribbit, you can most likely spend a little more to feed it.

**CriticalCyr** · 12-14-2012, 02:10 AM

4 feeds can happen really quick. That's already 1k. It takes a while to save up that 50k+, and when you spend it on a pet, you're back to not having that kind of money.

That would be so convenient!

**Bless** · 12-14-2012, 02:29 AM

I cant be asked switching :/ other pets are nowhere near as goood as ribbit (for a warrior)...

**Junside** · 12-14-2012, 03:12 AM

Remember to play with your pets mid-battle to replenish their happiness bar by a small amount.

do it every so often

**CriticalCyr** · 12-14-2012, 03:13 AM

I think, and don't quote me on it, that pets can be played with every 5 minutes.

Again, that's just a guess. I haven't timed it.

**Astrocat** · 12-14-2012, 06:49 AM

Malison, Ribbit. <3 Perfect pets!

***Zero*** · 12-14-2012, 12:41 PM

P.E.T.A should been informed of this situation.

Pets don't lose happiness in towns.

**Airikay** · 12-14-2012, 02:21 PM

I say flapjack is best. He's only one that makes it easy to solo elite easily without constant potion use. I'd put ribbit below Loki, Shiloh, and koko.

This is an awful idea. Your pets need sweet nutrients in order to live healthy, and have a shiny coat (or feathers) not feeding your pet also affects their happiness and can lead to carpet peeing, scratching furniture, and brutal leg humping.

Don't be a Noob. Feed them regularly.
