Pet Feeding
Once a day the beasts in your stables are automatically fed. You can view the details of this feeding in the daily Report found under Manor. Every pet eats a total of 18 pounds of food a day; 1 pound = 1 food item = 1 silver. I would like to put emphasis on that; 1 food = 1 silver. If you do not have enough food when the feeding occurs, 1 silver will be spent in place of each 1 food you are short on. Having the food items in your Inventory is optional because of this.
For those of you who find your silver being depleted upon the day change without explanation this may be the reason why. I would like to add that I hope people take from this information that when buying food from other users, paying more than a unit conversion of 1 silver = 1 food is overpaying.
Note: As said, the feedings are automatic and the items/silver are taken without you having to do anything. But this is no reason to worry about going on hiatus(vacation) and coming back to find your silver is gone; the food/silver will only be used for feeding when you log on. If you are not active for that day then the feeding will not take place. Your pets can not get hungry, starve, or die.
Types of Food
There are 6 different food types in the game. They are::
= Animal Carbs
= Animal Fats
= Animal Proteins
= Plant Carbs
= Plant Fats
= Plant Proteins
Each biotype has a unique set of items that give food that can be found in them, and these foods each give you around 20 of its corresponding food type in the Warehouse.
Grassland::
(Honey) = 
(Pork) = 
(Sunflower Seeds) = 
(Soybeans) = 
(Rabbit Meat) = 
(Wheat) =
Desert::
(Sea Lettuce) = 
(Reptile Eggs) = 
(Magenta Cactus) = 
(Redstripe Salmon) = 
(Honeybag Ants) = 
(Desert Olive) =
Savannah::
(Blue-Crested Pheasant) = 
(Sorghum) = 
(Spotted Pig) = - (Sunflower Seeds) =
- (Honey) =
Jungle::
(Tropical Quail) = - (Tropical Honey Ants)
- (Oilyberries) =
(Spotted Tapir) = 
(Ripe Fruits) = 
(Ground Pear) =
Fun Fact:: In the desert, you will sometimes find 1-2 Redstripe Salmon in the chests found behind Guardians. Whose bright idea was it to stuff fish inside of a chest? If it was alive at the time then that is cruel; if it was dead, how is it still edible?
Diet Composition
Found on each pet's page on the left side is where you can find your pet's Diet Composition. It consists of 6 parts, each corresponding to 1 of the food items, and each food affects a certain characteristic.
- Animal Fats = Strength
- Plant Proteins = Agility
- Animal Proteins = Courage
- Animal Carbs = Intelligence
- Plant Fats = Constitution
- Plant Carbs = Intuition
As mentioned in Pet Feeding, each pet eats 18 pounds of food a day. Each pound is represented by a star in the Diet Composition; you have 18 of these stars to distribute between the 6 food types, with each one capable of having a maximum of 5 stars. To increase 1 type you must decrease another.
Redistributing the stars in your pet's diet helps to determine what characteristics your pet will develop. Your pet's characteristics grow with each level your pet gains; 6 points are randomly distributed between the 6 characteristics per level. You can use your pet's diet to help increase the chance of these points being given to the characteristic you want to develop.
Magic Food
Magic Food items can be bought in the Premium Shop for 1 gold each or can be found while exploring in chests, boss temples, and the shop. There are 6 Magic Foods, each one affecting a certain characteristic, and feeding these foods to your pet will increase the stat that goes with it. This is different than the Diet in how the points are guaranteed to be given to that characteristic while with the Diet you can only increase the chances of this happening.
- Glowshroom = Intuition
- Dragon Maple = Agility
- Nutpea = Intelligence
- Cactus Melon = Constitution
- Heart Fruit = Courage
- Bamboo Berries = Strength
You are only able to increase your pet's characteristics by 50 points each with Magic Food. Each Food can give a bonus of 1-3 points, but the closer you are to reaching that 50 point cap the least likely you are to get more then 1 point per fruit.
