Add a furry (or feathery, or scaly) companion to your farm and enjoy the many benefits of your new friend. Pets are a collectible and progression system designed to create hype, excitement, and a burn mechanic for FLOWER and Chapter progression. They feature an iterative proposal with proof of concept designs.
Every Pet hatches out of an egg, even those that normally don't in real life! There are several ways for you to get your first egg:
Purchase one at the Pet Shop in the Plaza for 150,000 Coins (once ever)
Purchase one at the Love Shop on the Floating Island for 10,000 Love Charms (once ever)
Purchase one at the Megastore for 2,000 Chapter Tickets (once per chapter, and other items must be purchased in lower tiers first)
You can only get one egg from the Pet Shop and Love Shop each, so that will give you two Pets if you can get them both. There are 20 different Pet types, and you will always get a new one every Egg that you buy. So you can't get duplicates! Common pets cannot be traded.
Each Pet has a Category, which determines what kind of items they can fetch for you. There are 20 different Common Pets across 7 categories:
Guardians fetch Chewed Bones
Hunters fetch Ribbons
Voyagers fetch Ruffroot
Beasts fetch Wild Grass
Moonkin fetch Heart Leaf
Snowkins fetch Frost Pebble
Foragers fetch Dewberry
Every pet has 2 or 3 Categories, so they will be able to get you multiple items. It takes approximately 4.5 years to collect all 20 common pets, provided you can obtain one in each 3-month Chapter.
Every day at game reset, your pet will request different foods. When you feed it to them, they will earn Energy and XP. Requests start with 2 per day and increase with pet level. Currently only one unit of each food is required to fulfill the request (unlike the Faction Pet, which usually requires multiples of each food).
New requests are generated every day at game reset, whether you have completed them or not. So, make sure you can finish that Fancy Fries before your pet's fancy moves on to something else. You can also reset all the requests with new ones by paying Gems (generates 3 new ones; cost increases with use).
The order of the three slots is important; the top slot will be for "Easy" foods, the middle for "Medium" and the lower for "Hard." You can see which foods may appear in a given slot at https://sfl.world/info/pets, and plan accordingly. If you have the resources, keeping one of each food on hand will help with whatever requests may come up.
If you can't feed your pet for 3 consecutive days, it will lose 500 XP. This will only happen once, though, so if you need to take an extended leave from the game you will only incur the penalty one time, not every 3 days during your absence. Any of the three slots will fulfill this requirement, it does not need to eat every requested food.
Your pets will sleep periodically, and can be tapped on to gain a small amount of XP (+10 XP every 2 hours during 'nap' mode). In addition, visitors to your farm can pet your creature to give it some bonus XP (+1 to +5 XP, capped at 50 XP per pet per day from social help).
Once your pet has some Energy, you can send it out on quests to find items for you. The Acorn is a standard item that every pet can find, and has multiple different uses (used in deliveries, chums, or sold for coins; non-tradeable). The other items it can find are dependent on its Category, and its Level. Sending it to fetch consumes the displayed amount of energy. Pets fetch resources based on type and level.
Suggestions include quests/missions based on level, Bumpkin level, time, and resource cost, with potential co-op elements and reward boosts.
Leveling up your pet will grant it different perks, such as more items available to fetch, more foods available for requests, and other bonuses. There is currently no level cap for a pet, so feed it and watch it grow! XP progression is quadratic (e.g., Level 2: 120 XP, Level 3: 300 XP, Level 4: 600 XP).
Shrines are special buildings that are placed on your farm, and take Pet resources to craft. Resources other than Acorns are tradeable, so you can get them from farmers who have pets of different categories than you. Shrines are crafted in the plaza using the Pet/Shrine Shop and are limited by Acorn input (depends on number of pets fetching Acorns). They are used to produce shrines with pet resources. Suggestions include more accessibility, like a Planter Shrine for end-game automation.
Special collectible and tradeable Pets will also be available to those resourceful players who can obtain them. These NFT Pets function just like the commonly-available ones, eating food and taking requests and so on, but have special properties that boost their XP and Energy gains. Their XP and levels will persist even if they are traded to another player, so their value will only grow as you raise them!
