Pets

**Pets** can be unlocked in the BLC Shop for  1m (1e6) 1m (1e6) and then each pet will cost another  2m (2e6) 2m (2e6) to purchase. Initially only one pet can be used, but it is possible to use more with unlocks. They give bonuses similar to Unique Leaves. You can additionally purchase Pet Skins, to change their cosmetic appearance.

## Equipping Additional Pets

A maximum of 9 pets can be used at a time.

* Zoo Necklace is a guaranteed drop within the first 50 rounds of playing the Slot Machine, and it lets you use an additional pet.
* Zoo Ring is a random drop in  The Leaf Tower  or a prize from the Borb Claw Machine. It lets you use 2 extra pets when the ring is upgraded to level 10.
* Petless Challenge allows for an additional pet upon completion.
* The Leaf Tower Milestone requires floor 100,000 to be reached and lets you use an additional pet.
* The Soul Crypt Milestone Requires floor 25 to be reached and defeated allows you an additional pet.
* The Nature Season event awards one extra pet as the level 100 reward
* Cursed Dice Total Save Count 6666 awards one extra pet slot.

## Upgrades

Upon upgrading pets, the pet will gain +10% of their original bonus per level. This lasts until level 10, when they gain a total of +100% to their bonus effect, effectively doubling it.

Pets also gain +Blowing Enemy Damage% after level 10 (starting at +5k% at level 10). The formula for this is:

* `100 x (Current Pet Level) x floor(Current Pet Level/2)`

### Exceptions & Special Cases

While most pets gain +10% bonus per level (up to level 10), there are some exceptions:

  Mouseo | Gains +0.1 cheese per level, maxing out at +1 cheese at level 10, which gives them 2 cheese per steal

Mouseo also seems to gain an increased drop chance, but it's unclear how this works. The stat is named "*Enemy drop chance Cheese*" and increases by +50% per level (up to +500% at level 10). More info is needed on this stat; it might be a typo so could actually be +0.5% p/level (totalling at another +5% steal chance).

### Upgrade Costs

Unlocking level 1 requires 10  Leaf Essence (100 Scarab and 100 Dark Matter). After that, the costs lower to 3  Leaf Essence for Level 2, and increase by 3 x (Current Pet Level)^1.05.

This table shows the  Leaf Essence requirements to upgrade to level 10 (the maximum for increasing the bonus effect):

You will need  158 158 to upgrade a pet to level 10. To brew  158 158 with  Alchemy will take 1600 Scarab + 1600 Dark Matter. These materials can be farmed in the areas *The Infernal Desert* (Scarab) and *Space* (Dark Matter). Alternatively, they can also be gained from trading other materials with Torvald in Kokkaupunki.

### Maximums

*See also: Unique Leaves § Maximums*

You can at max get 370% effect.

* 100% base — In other words x1, our starting point that will be used for calculations.
* 100% from upgrades to level 10, doubling the effect.
* 46% from  Butterflyo
* 74% from  Pet Leaf.
* 30% from Better Pets
* 20% from  Pet Scroll .

The 20% base effect of  Butterflyo can be increased to 46%.

* 100% base
* 100% from upgrades
* 30% from Better Pets
* Other bonuses do not apply to Butterflyo.

For example,  Owlo will at max produce +7 merged leaves and does that at level 8. Further upgrades provide no benefit.

Here is one way to reach 2 minutes' trade, which is the minimum: Lvl 5  Penguino, Lvl 5  Butterflyo, Lvl 7  Water Leaf, Better Pets, Better Unique Leaves,  Trading Scroll , and Trader's Crunch Challenge.

## Petting Pets

To pet a Pet, while not in a menu, click on your equipped pet. If successfully petted, the pet will do a backflip to indicate how happy it is!. There is a 60 second cool down before you can next pet, but it is possible to refresh this timer by reequipping the pet. Used to unlock the Pet the Pets achievement.

How many times you have petted a pet will increase the effect of the Lil' Doggo equipment.

## Strategy

For  BLC runs: Equip  Bunnyo for converter speed (for the BLC Flask upgrade) and when you're about to crunch equip all the BLC Modifiers ( Ghost Leaf,  Foxo...)

For  Coin Runs: Equip  Raccoono and anything that boosts seeds and then simply AFK til you hit the Leaf cap.

For  Celestial Leaves and on (If you don't have the Seeds) get the Combo, Enemy and Leaf boosting modifiers ( Squirrelo/ Catto/ Doggo,  Glitter Leaf...) and AFK (for Celestial you might need the  Fire Leaf as well.)

 Deero is very helpful when you first unlock Mythical Leaves and beyond. Once your printers are max and making a few million of each leaf a second, I would recommend equipping  Deero and relying on printers to cut the time it takes to go from unlocking  Mythical through  Ice to buying the first seed by a large portion. However, once you have all of the seeds for each leaf, it is much better to instead afk for a few hours with  Raccoono, and then spending the leaves to max out your seeds. Doing this will let you max out each shop in about a day or two each.

Once you get into material farming, it is recommended to upgrade  Ducko and  Butterflyo first. You need  Leaf Essence to start upgrading pets, but it is not viable until you unlock The Dark Glade and have Material Magnet Upgrade. You can also unlock Kokkaupunki to trade materials with Torvald, NPC that trades Scarab with additional Dark Matter with the extra materials.

**Note**: `floor()` returns the largest integer less than or equal to a given number; You would only gain the Blowing Enemy Damage bonus if you equip it and it is recommended to upgrade  Butterflyo,  Crabbo, and one other pet (or two if you have done Petless challenge) that's higher than the rest of your pets. 3 Lvl 58 or 4 Lvl 50 will save more Leaf Essence and still outdamage 1 Lvl 100 pet.
