Hi, I'm fairly new and have been collecting lots of pets from either the wild, breeding, or the pound. So how do I expand my area and get to keep more pets? I couldn't find it under FAQs.

You need to find a blueprint for a Stable level 2, either by exploring on islands or by buying them in the trades. You *could* buy one from the State Store, but I would not recommend that, since those prices are usually way higher than what you would ever pay from other players!

Once you have the blueprint, use it from your inventory and then it's just a matter of collecting all the material you need and a pet with the right requirements to build it. What you need you can see in the List of Recipes by the way :)
