Pets Persistence Patch

This is part of Gorgans Britannia Testing Hub

=Pet Changes=


 * Bonded pets are now affected by hunger, and thus they will starve over time and release themselves from your control if not maintained
 * Pets that are abandoned by their owners from logging out or switching to another server region will begin wandering (as if they are looking for their owner)


 * Pets no longer automatically log out with you, nor will they magically teleport to you when switching server-regions [see Quick Travel Changes, below, for more info]
 * Any pet that is not mounted & not in the stables will persist in the world when you log out or switch regions
 * Fixed pet Guarding feature, pets should now attack beings that damage the guarded target persistently
 * Fixed pet "stay" command from being ignored, pets will stay put now but will remain in Guarding state (use "stop" command to clear Guarding state)
 * Fixed pet "stop" command and changed it to stop following & begin wandering, also stops Guarding
 * Pet skill gains have been increased by 100%

Keeping Pets Safe

 * To keep pets safe when logging out they will need to be stabled or mounted
 * Warning: Pets that are left in the world will eventually starve and release themselves from your control over time [currently about 16 hours]

Lost Pet Recovery

 * The /grabpets and /graballpets commands have been replaced by an option on Stablemaster vendors

=Quick Travel Changes=


 * Only pets that are Bonded will travel with you when Recalling, but all pets/escorts will still go through Moongates
 * Pets need to be nearby (about 1 screen) in order to be brought with you when teleporting or crossing a server-boundary
 * You can now use Recall even if you have an Escort following you, although it will leave the escort behind

Note: These changes apply to same-region quick-travel as well as cross-region

= Hotfixes =


 * 4/26/21 - Doubled the distance required for pets to be within range from owner to teleport with them
