When it comes to MMORPGs, I’m a pet girl. I have always loved my vanity pets and in update this guide as new pets are introduced to the game. 29716q
SWTOR vanity pets are non-combat pets that can be obtain in different ways:
- As a monster drop
- Purchased from the Collector’s Edition vendor
- Purchased from Vendors with some restrictions like Social Level, Dark Side/Light Side Level
- As part of the Collector’s Edition
If you want to have the best chance of getting as many pets as possible, then it’s important to learn where they come from and how to get them for yourself. There are some that you won’t be able to go back and get. For example, the Collector’s Edition pet if you did not purchase the CE of This is what increases the rarity and collectability of the vanity pets.
Some things to know about vanity pets in SWTOR:
– Pets are summoned/unsummoned from the PETS tab of your Abilities window
– You can only have a single pet summoned at a time
– You can have a pet and a companion summoned at the same time
– A summoned pet will follow you even if you are on a speeder
How to summon your pet?
