  • Petcetera – a fun, social activity - Players love them pets, but what could be cooler than turning into one and eating other pets in a winner takes all safe battle? Almost nothing! Players run around area eating food items that spawn on the floor. Each specific food Transmogs player into a specific pet. Eating more of the same food or eating other pets means that pet gets larger. Eating a new food changes player to something new, and starts from the smallest size again. Each pet has a pet type it can eat, and another it can be eaten by (irrelevant of size). E.G Chicken eats eyeball, but is eaten by dragon. Can eat the same pet as you are, if you are larger. Last pet standing wins NPC's start to spawn if taking too long of each pet type. Rewards to include summoning XP and new pets!

Turns any area into an impromptu hunting zone! When a spirit creature is released a player other players have to find the creature in a fixed time period.
