Pet Slots will allow you to create a Pet for use ingame.
We allow Pets from the very beginning (or found ICly later down the line) for use in RP and for flavor, but Pets made on (or moved to, in the case of RP-only pets) a Pet Slot will allow your companion to assist you in a myriad of ways, whether that be increasing rewards from in-server activities, to assisting you in combat, or even possibly deflecting an otherwise fatal blow, the truth is this: It's dangerous to go Alone, so bring a friend!
Pet Effects are done the same way as Weapon Effects, once you know what your Pet will look like (Images or Text are fine) bring it to the Weapons and Spell Effects chat to get some effects to choose from.
Pets can be essentially anything you like, a living breathing animal? Absolutely, a rock with googly eyes? Why not! A little clockwork automaton? Sure! A simple little drone of some kind? Well, as long as you can find a way to charge it...
To Use Your Pet:
Pets have a variety of effects, to use yours, declare that you are using it and then link to it in your character info page, Mods will not search through everyone's profiles for Pet Effects, the onus is on you to link to them.
