Pets in Dofus: how to get them, feed them and level them up

The pet has its own equipment slot. It follows you around and, above all, adds bonuses to your character: stats, damage, resistances or action and movement points depending on the pet.

A freshly obtained pet gives nothing: its bonuses appear as soon as it eats its first resource, then grow with its level, up to level 100.

In Dofus 3, there are two main ways to get a pet. Some are bought from NPCs, for example with Almanax or Dimensions currencies. Most are found directly in the World of Twelve: the pet appears in its area once you meet its requirements, and you tame it by giving it the resources it asks for.

Requirements are mostly dungeon or quest achievements. With the Unity version, the resources required were reduced, and some quest requirements were replaced by monster kills, which are easier to complete.

For a first pet, there is no need to aim high. Several pets are available early in the game and already give a welcome boost. Names below are the French in-game names.

Since the pet rework, there are no more meal times and no more health points to watch: pets no longer die. Progress comes only from food. Each resource gives an amount of experience based on its level, its rarity and the monster that drops it.

The resources that give the most are usually AP, Range and MP runes, keys, essences and boss resources. Some resources give nothing at all: check the displayed value before feeding.

Experience values are rounded down. A resource worth slightly more than one point only gives one if fed on its own: feed in batches so nothing is lost.

Enriched Croquettes give 500 experience points each. They are bought with Kolossium and AvA currencies. Pricier than regular resources, they save a lot of time on the last levels.

The experience curve shoots up at the end: the last levels cost far more than the first ones. Most pets receive their biggest bonuses before level 100, so stopping around level 80 is often the best compromise on a tight budget.

A petsmount is a bigger pet that you ride. It makes you move faster and levels up like a pet, by eating resources. Like a pet, it requires a subscription to be equipped.

Some petsmounts are purely cosmetic: they give no stats and are only for looks. Since Unity, all pets and petsmounts have access to autopilot. For real breeding mounts, see our mounts guide.

A level 100 pet can become legendary and gain an extra bonus. You need to have completed the quest « Fleeting Meetings » and gather two items: a Babyhemoth Reflection, which grants legendary status, and a Quintessence.

The Quintessence turns into an infused croquette that the pet eats; the bonus is drawn at random from the list tied to each Quintessence. Making them requires rare endgame resources (the recipe has changed over updates), and it can take several tries to land the bonus you want. It is an endgame goal, best kept for a pet you plan to wear for a long time.
