Pets, will they ever become useful?

The pets are a great addition to the game. However, I was really hoping the season 4 update was going to made them actually useful. Like, picking up gold, bone piles. etc. is this something that is going to be introduced into the game at some point???

Honest question: Why do so many people want pets to “do something”? They are just cosmetic, why isn’t that enough? I do not understand this urge to this very day. And it seems to be cross genre. In so many other games from completely other genres people also want this.

Think about how much gold and other loot you’re leaving behind—especially if you enjoy playing in the MG, where gold is already scarce. ARPGs are at their best when you’re speed farming, and having items picked up automatically lets you stay in the flow. It saves you from constantly stopping, worrying about missed drops, or having to remember to grab everything. It’s not an end all be all, but it certainty helps!

I get the sentiment but I disagree with it. The urge for speed and efficientcy is probably a MG/trading thing ( I am a SSF/SCF/SAF player in any ARPG so maybe that’s why I don’t get it)

The decision on how fast/efficient you want to go is largly impacted by your build and how good your loot filter is. If you fee llike you have to stop too often I think your loot filter might just not be in a good spot.

General loot is one thing, but items like gold, dungeon keys, and ancient bones are a different story. Pets aren’t really intended to pick up standard gear such as gloves, helms, or swords anyway. And as far as I know, there aren’t any loot filters for things like gold or dungeon keys.

We can agree to disagree, but it would definitely be a nice quality-of-life feature—especially to avoid missing something important like a dropped key and having to trek all the way back across the map to retrieve it.

There are filters for keys. You select to Hide or Show, then select Resources and select the keys you don’t want to see or hide.

I thought there was a filter for gold because others have requested in the past and I thought it was added, but…

Huh, kind of a strange filter to have unless you already have too many lol. Thanks for clarifying!
