Pet Handling: Diet & Preferred Food

In order to keep your pets happy, you have to keep them well fed at all times. You can use the animal lore skill to find out what any particular creature likes to eat, but the skill will only tell you it's preferred food, not everything it can or will eat. Feeding your pet any quantity of food will give it maximum loyalty.

While the type of food doesn't matter, quantity certainly does. Feeding your pet a stack of 4 or more food items at a time will restore its stamina. The amount of stamina restored is calculated as follows: (number of food items in the stack * 15) - 50. If the amount is below zero, then no stamina is restored. So for example feeding a nightmare a stack of 10 ribs would restore 100 stamina points.

White wyrms that were tamed after publish 16 was implemented can "eat" gold in addition to meat. Stamina is restored at: number of gold coins - 50. If the number is below zero, then no stamina is restored.

Whether you feed your pet it's preferred food or something else it also accepts doesn't matter - Designer Oaks confirmed that it does not make a difference at all. Nevertheless it might be handy for you to have a point of reference where you can find out what pets eat, so here's a list:

Food Group Food Items
(1) Fruits & Vegetables all fruit and vegetable items
(2) Grains/Hay bales of hay, ears of corn
(3) Raw Fish raw whole fish or fish steaks (oddly enough, fish steaks from sea serpents count as meat, not as fish!)
(4) Raw Meat all raw meat items and all cooked meat items except cooked ribs
