    This would be buyable via crown store, found in drops, and or tamable... Just like they are now but add functionality to vanity pets that will allow them to do tedious jobs such as looting for you. Certain types of pets have better looting abilities and or luck.

    Example a pet wisp might have a better luck chance to find a hidden black pearl stash on a corpse. An Imp pet might find more gold on a corpse or box it found in the corner of a room. A dog might find more bones on a corpse. Monkey is able to steal and get away with it more often from NPCs or pvp players.

    One function that all pets have innately is they loot for you including containers in an area..they wont steal however unless you set them to steal, you still will get the blame for it.

    Sorry but have to say a huge, no way.

    All this leads to is unattended game play, also way to easy to exploit for other reasons.

    I like the idea. But the drawback should be you cannot have any other tameable or summoned pet out at the same time.

    Other drawbacks could also be that they are rather slow at looting, One corpse every 3 to 5 seconds type of deal. Is not going to loot the pile of 10 corpses that you just wasted. But a to collect one here and there as your hunting.

    As long as they are not cash shop only. This was a slippery slope to pay to win in BDO and gets the most complaints.

    Perhaps a tameable imp could loot for you 20% of the time during a fight? So, it would assist in looting but not in such a way that immersion would be lost. Afterall, Imps do love gold.
