A rare rabbit pet is a great starter pet for one reason, the second perk, farming xp boost. At level 100 it will boost your total farming xp gain by 25%. The cost of this pet will be around 14-15k but is worth it to level up your farming skill! (use this pet while farming anything)

A rare silverfish pet is just like the rabbit pet but for mining. The second perk of the rare silverfish pet will grant you +25% mining xp at level 100. The price of this pet is quite costly coming in at about 100k coins. (equip this when you're mining!)

One good combat pet is a rare enderman. Coming in at a measly 10k coins! This enderman pet gives you +75 crit damage at level 100 and makes you take -20% damage to end mobs. Perfect for beginners but not the best later on.

Another combat pet that easily outclasses the enderman pet is a common griffin pet. Purchased from Diana when she is mayor, or from the auction house for 25k coins this pet gives you lots of stat buffs such as intelligence increase, strength increase, crit chance, crit damage, and magic find which increases your chance to get rare drops. This pet is definitely a great starter combat pet and you should definitely get one.

Notable mentions: tiger pet. Costing about 250k for a common variant it is my personal favorite pet to use and gives lots of strength crit damage and ferocity. Ferocity is a stat that gives a chance to deal double damage, really op!

The best pet to use for foraging is a common monkey pet. Costing about 50k coins, At level 100 a monkey pet will give you +40 foraging fortune, which increases your chance to get double drops when breaking a log.

Notable mentions: ocelot pet. Ocelot pet is the best if you want to increase your foraging xp, but it costs a lot of money, at about 500k for an epic. At level 100, an ocelot pet will boost your foraging xp by 30%.

The best fishing pet for new players is a common dolphin pet. Costing 50k coins on the auction house, it is extremely worth it. At level 100, a common dolphin pet will give you 100 intelligence and 5 sea creature chance. That is good but the main best part of this pet is the perk, pod tactics. Pod tactics increase your fishing speed by 3% up to 15% for each player around you at level 100. So equip this pet, go to lobby 1, and fish at the pond near the mountain for faster fishing speeds! Note that this pet is better when at uncommon or rare rarity.

The best pet and only pet to increase enchanting xp is the rare guardian pet. Costing about 380k coins, it is very useful to increase enchanting xp gain so you can use more enchantments in the game. At level 100, a rare guardian pet will increase your xp gain by +25%

I hope you new players find this guide useful, also NOTE: these are the bare minimum rarity pets to use. Obviously higher rarity pets will perform much better in every way.

Good post. But I disagree with Foraging. Don't use Monkey unless it is Legendary. Epic Ocelot is more expensive, but the Foraging XP boost is much better than Foraging Fortune as foraging makes 0 money anyways.

nothing for alchemy? I know you said new players, but atleast a mention should have been given.
and the squid is better imo for newer players, ink sacs are good early game money.

mastiff armor gives you +50 hp for each 1 cd you have
arguably wolf pet with 10 wolves is better but that's pain in the ass to get
