Can we add a Loot Pet?

Aggrovious · October 1

A pet that can grab all the loot for me so I can go. I remember playing Tera and having a pet that grabbed the loot for me so I can level quicker/get stuff done. A convenience and pay to win feature. Can we make this happen?

I may as well just be another tick box in the settings, since AoE looting slightly too spread out corpses is anyway just busywork.

Reading this, I assumed you meant a pet aquired by looting. RuneScape has something like that, where every skill has a pet you have a small chance of randomly being awarded for levelling that skill. It'd be neat to have rare ones found by fishing, harvesting, stealing ECT.

No, a pet that loots for you. Though, acquiring a pet through loot collecting at a very rare drop would be cool.

Like the pet you have in Diablo IV?
It grabs all gold, but not weapons/armour.

Not sure how you see it really as loot is already boxed up and not laying around in a world, you can auto loot all of it in one press already with enough inventory space.

The pet in Tera grabbed all the stuff for your character. That is what I would like added into the game.

not really seeing a benefit to this, it already takes less than a second to loot if you just turn autoloot on and then interact with a corpse, since there is already aoe conglomeration of the loot, you can usually loot an entire mob with 1 click if you were actually farming

it just sounds like your asking for the autoloot option to apply instantly as soon as an enemy dies instead of running up to the body and looting it (no sense even wasting processing power on a pet for that)

I would also like a non-combat pet that loots corpses for me. And also collects crafting nodes. And picks open treasure chests. And also walks me to places. And does my crafting writs. Let's also take the "non-combat" part out of it and give me a pet that kills the enemies for me as well. Preferably instantly in one hit, anything else would take too much of my precious time.

There's already an auto-loot option in the menu, and area loot consolidation is a thing. It takes less than a second to walk up to a corpse and click on it. I don't think the devs need to put time and effort into such an insignificant change that will undoubtedly bring more bugs with it than benefits.

for Hunters in a game that we cannot name, there was a 'fetch' command. Pet would run out and loot everything that was available from a corpse.
