How do I get my non combat pet to auto collect gold, loot or crafting mats around me?

What can the non combat pet be used for?

    They're decorative. That's it.

    They can stand underwater or in molten lava for hours without dying, climb sheer walls just so they can be beside you, stand with one foot on the ground and the other three in midair over the side of a cliff, follow you automatically through portals and wayshrines, etc. In other words, they are totally awesome!

    Like a pet vac? If pVac was added to ESO, it would probably be pay-to-win. The only situation I can see it being useful in is a pet that automatically picks up the reagents from the ground for you, those being alchemy, blacksmithing, woodworking, etc. This would be too powerful to be something free, and would need to be sold. There's another game that does this called Maplestory. But the system is different slightly, and it's still pay to win.

    They’re entirely useless.

    They've released a couple that increase your inventory space, whether they're your active pet or not.

    As much as I would sometimes like them to hoover up the Shinys, it would so wreck the economy and cause the game to be totally infested with bots.

    So, no.
    Enjoy the game, life is what you really want to be worried about.

    Yes, I forgot about those. There are 3 of them, and each adds 5 inventory slots to each of your characters, for a total of 15 extra slots per character.

    I don't use all the inventory slots I have. I'm not giving them crowns for those.

    There's an in-game FF Tactics style RPG where you can assign your non-combat pets classes and go on missions and quests and stuff with them in a pet-only campaign and win rewards/titles for your pet.


    ..........I'm lying. But that would be fun.

    The in game pets are approximately as useful on a practical.level as my in real life pets, whose main hobbies are sleeping underfoot and tripping me on the way to the bathroom at 2am.

    I used to play Torchlight and the pet was more like a companion than a pet as it fought in battles. It had its own inventory and when your inventory was full you could send it to town to sell your stuff.

    Also you could do fishing and feed it the fish and it would transform into different creatures.

    I'd like to be able to send Bastion to the shops. And feed him a minnow to turn him into a mudcrab.

    I sometimes don't even enable my non combat pets.

    So, no.

    Highly doubtful since people generally pick up the gold and mats they get from kills and harvesting regardless.

    Greetings,

    After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community for assistance.

    Thank you for your understanding
