Cosmetic Pets
Cosmetic Pets are summoned to accompany characters throughout Middle-earth.
They are similar to non-combat pets (Lore-master only), with the exception that characters of any class can earn them.
These pets can be active alongside Captain and Lore-master pets and remain visible during combat.
Cosmetic Pet Management
Cosmetic pets exist in your game client rather than on the server, and other players can hide pets under the Options menu.
Check out the Collections panel to see which pets you are missing! Windows: < ctrl + C > Mac: < cmnd + C >
Console commands:
/cpet
/help cpet
/cpet rename <newname>
Example
/cpet rename snoopy
There is also a good Pet Plugin located here; [Galuhad - Pets U23.3]
How to Begin
There are a few ways to obtain Cosmetic Pets
Festivals / Events
A sure way to start collecting cosmetic pets would be to pick a Festival or Event and start quests and play the games available. You are sure to gather the appropriate barter items to trade!
See: Cosmetic Pet Acquisition - Festivals / Events below for more details on which barterers to look for and where!
Bingo Boffin - The Ballad of Bingo Boffin
One of the easiest, though longer, ways of starting on your collection journey is to start the long quest chain with Bingo Boffin. In order to find Bingo along his journey you can speak with Bert Bartleby as he follows along moving from place to place around Middle-earth tracking down Bingo - giving us clues as to his whereabouts.
Each quest gives us a chance to earn 5x Bingo Badge in which we can trade Bert Bartleby for our cosmetic pets.
Reputation Grind
Not for the faint of heart, characters can also seek out various NPCs and groups in an attempt to earn reputation and standing with each faction. Along the way, you will earn barter items in which you can then trade with various barter NPCs for more coveted pets!
See: Cosmetic Pet Acquisition - Barterers below for more details on which barterers to look for and where!
Cosmetic Pet Master Index
- Opening the respective Tome grants a toggle skill which allows the cosmetic pet to be summoned.
