Pets
Captains and Lore-masters have the ability to summon pets: NPCs that assist them in combat and can usually be controlled in detail. This page covers the commands used to control these pets.
A Lore-master can obtain cosmetic pets after acquiring the trait Friend of the Wild (Passive Skill). Tomes are acquired from drops, vendors and by barter from a Lore-master Trainer. These are in addition to the normal acquisition of cosmetic pets.
A Captain can summon a herald, also known as a pet, to aid them in combat as well as buff anyone in their fellowship within range.
The appearance of pets can be changed by using Talismans for Lore-masters or Armaments for Captains. Some can be crafted, or they can be bartered from the relevant trainer.
