So how does the pet raising system work?

[Arc]

Do you just throw a thing and get an automated NPC? Can they evolve? Can I pet them?

Main reason I'm interested in game. Hoping it has some meat to it and isn't just a boring automated ally

You craft the pets special items to upgrade them twice. When you feed them you get special crafting ingredients. Each has a unique fighting style/element. No petting. Think of them more as mobile defense/offense units.

Eh, good enough. Ty.

Pet attack, is based on Character Attack Damage. Tested by me.

And i read on Loading Screen tip, pet follow Player Level.

and they grow over time, which I think to remember also affects the dmg output a bit. I really hope they flesh out the pet system more in the future. I wan't pet training, eventuelly mergin or speciliazing them.. would be so much fun
