Lost Ark Pets Beginner Guide - Pet Quest, Auto Looting, Effects, Functions & More

Pets in lost ark can be very useful. They can help you gather up any loot that's lying on the floor, saving you the trouble of having to pick up that stuff yourself and they can give you an assortment of delightful buffs. They are just generally to follow you around and look badass while you're going around and killing all of the mobs, doing the bosses, doing the raids whatever it is that you're doing that day.  If you want a pet in Lost Ark, it can be acquired by participating in an in-game event or by throwing money at the screen and buying one from the Lost Ark store with Lost Ark gold. However, there's a way to score a free pet early in this game and we're going to show you how.

Lost Ark Pet Quest - How To Get A Free Pet

To get a pet for the low low cost of nothing, you need to complete a specific quest. Open up your quest journal and navigate to the section full of guide quests, look for the one called “learning about pets” and begin that quest. It'll tell you to go find an NPC named Blueberry, head to Pridehome and you'll find Blueberry not too far from the Triport. She'll talk about wanting to be an adventurer like you but her mother wants her to sort out a jar filled with rice and grains first, offer to help open up the jar, and then a whole bunch of crap will just fly out of it. 

Talk to Blueberry and she'll tell you that her sister has to do these same chores but she finishes them much quicker. So Blueberry asks you to ask her how she does it so fast, go speak with her sister who's named Redberry. Redberry will tell you that she uses a pet to finish her chores and will tell you to go speak with the pet manager whose name is Working Achatmeow. Working Achatmeow can be found in the center of Pridehome near the statue of a lion. Talk to him and you'll learn various facts about pets. After listening to their whole spiel, they'll reward you with a free pet which will be a white bunny rabbit. 

Lost Ark Pet Auto Looting & Auto Loot Filters

In pet inventory, you will be able to see is all of the pets you have available in this menu. You can click into each of these and it will tell you what pets do, so you have an auto-loot function which is whenever loot is dropped on the grounds, pets will pick up that nearby loot now. What's something important that people tend to miss is the auto-loot setup, so you can actually loot currency, loot adventurer’s tome, obtain island materials, obtain gear and items. Then you can also filter this by the tier of the gear, the item rank whether you want normal and above uncommon or above rare and above, epic and above legendary, relic, etc and it will just pick that tier and above. 

So be aware when you click on uncommon. They will no longer pick up normal items. Also item level, you can set the item level for the minimum for it to pick up and also the usable level, so the usable level for the items to be picked up. You can filter that as you get further into the game for most of us which will be more useful when we hit late tier 2 early tier 3 and beyond.

Lost Ark Addition Function Of Pet Menu

In pet inventory, you will also be able to see your pet effects. By default, most of these come with vitality training which is your max hp plus 5%, and also the improved crit which is crit plus 10%. These are two really good effects that are applied by the pet but these can be changed. If you have a crystalline aura active which is the premium or a currency type thing that you can get in the game. You buy with crystals through the in-game shop or with real-life currency in order to exchange for it and you'll see if it's active. Most of us got these with our founders or starters' packs. so the chances are you will have some at least for now and if you do have it active, you'll be able to see that the pet functions are pet inventory, remote storage, market, remote mail, remote repair, and remote tool repair.

How To Change Pet Effects & Abilities In Lost Ark

On the minimap, if you are looking to change the pet's active abilities, you are looking for pet management. There will be different names in each of the different settlements or cities but it will always be the same sort of dog's head with red color on the same icon every single time. You head over to that and you can interact with that NPC to change your pet's abilities for free. So when you actually go over to the NPC if you interact with them, you can pick whichever pet you want by right-clicking on it or left-clicking on it and it will bring it into the retrain section. 

What you can do here is retrain the abilities, so you can click onto one of them and it will show you the options of changeable pet effects that you have available to you. You can actually change these out depending on what your build wants to be and you can change them at any point for absolutely free. Once retrained, your pets can be retrained again without any conditions.

How To Choose The Best Pets For You In Lost Ark

Another function of the pets is as well as the corresponding color for the aesthetic. This color does relate to the ability or the element that the pet represents. They do affect certain things such as your ship and your crew when you are going from the stronghold, so if you go into your stronghold and actually go to your station you will see that you have the ability to of course do these different voyages and complete your missions, etc which does bring back certain rewards for your player. 

The important thing here is gathering pets with different elements. Because each mission has a different element where if your pet is the correct element, it increases your chance of adaptation or success to give you better rewards. By automatically having different pets up until you've covered each and every base, you can actually increase the rewards that you will be getting from your automated missions through the stronghold as well which is really important.

Above are the tips and tricks that might keep you in the loop with a few things to keep in mind when you are getting, choosing, and using your pets in Lost Ark.
