Tips

  • The fastest way to get the Phoenix pet is by doing solo Wintertodt for more pet rolls, according to Gnomonkey.1

Gnomonkey's opinion

  • Gnomonkey says skilling pets are hugely sought after but often have unorthodox drop rates depending on the skilling activity.1
  • Gnomonkey orders the skilling pets from least rare to most rare, putting Rocky first.2
  • Gnomonkey says the Heron is the most common skilling pet and one of the most common pets overall; he rated it F for a long time, now D tier since the blue transmog makes it better.3
  • Gnomonkey says the Rock golem pet is hated by many but has a funny chat head with a goofy grin and can be coloured almost any way; mining is annoying and he rates it low B tier, above Zulrah.4
  • Gnomonkey calls the Beaver one of the easiest skilling pets, gotten by AFK chopping redwoods for a long time (great while making an alt), and rates it bottom C tier.5
  • Gnomonkey says the Bloodhound is the rarest pet in the game hour-wise but he thinks it is ugly, placing it in the middle of A tier, just above Baby mole.6
  • Gnomonkey says the Giant squirrel (Agility pet) looks very cool especially the Blood squirrel with the dark acorn from the Hallowed Sepulchre, and rates it B tier next to Smolcano.7
  • Gnomonkey says Rocky (Thieving) is the fastest skilling pet, needing two alts with Ardougne-style stalls (as heard, "Fremie stalls") in about 20 hours; he prefers the red panda version and rates it D tier just above Heron.8
  • Gnomonkey says the Rift guardian pet took about 30 million Runecrafting-related XP of bloods to get, has cool transmogs (he has the water altar blue version), and rates it B tier between the Wilderness pets.9
  • Gnomonkey rates Phoenix top D tier, saying it is common and cool looking with transmogs from fire lighters (purple being his favourite).10
  • Gnomonkey says Tangleroot (as heard, "Groot") is one of the rarest skilling pets time-wise and one of the better-looking, rated B tier, and that no skilling pet is in S tier.11
  • Gnomonkey says Herbi (Herbiboar) is one of the easier hunter pets to get, nearly AFK with about 10 seconds of running per click, but he dislikes that it is yellow like a dying herbivore, and rates it D tier above Rocky.12

Events

  • Gnomonkey skips obvious single-source pets such as the herbi and chinchompa pets, and skips the Tangleroot pet since it can be boosted by planting more or by just going for XP.1
