Now, for those who are already RS members, it may take hundreds of hours to get your own OSRS skilling pet.

What is an OSRS Pet?

The definition of OSRS pets in the game we play is that they are non-combat NPCs loyal to you and they are generally obtained by being lucky during monster drops and when you do skilling. Some RuneScape pets must be raised to maturity by following the player or in this case, it will be following you.

If you played Pokemon before and was able to hatch an egg successfully then, you should be quite familiar with the process of raising an OSRS pet.

If getting a pet is something you want to achieve, be aware that you might be getting a high-tier skilling item than a skilling pet.

What happens when you get a Skilling Pet?

When you get an OSRS pet, it will automatically follow you around the game. The game's pets also make a small sound, giving you the feeling that someone is following you around.

Just a quick reminder that if your inventory is already full and you have an existing osrs pet, you will not receive a new pet when you are skilling.

When it comes to skilling in OSRS, the pet will be the priority over the resource that you are trying to get and it'll be added in the last inventory slot available, while the the resource that you're trying to gather will eb dropped when you reach full inventory.

If you die while playing the game and a pet follows you, or if you were unable to protect it from harm, then the pet will be lost. The pet will wander the area for 30 seconds before being despawned. Even if you manage to return in time, you won't be able to pick up your OSRS skilling pet.

This is why we strongly recommend that your RuneScape pet be insured so that you can still reclaim it. To insure your OSRS pet, you can visit Probita and pay the 500,000 coins that are required.
