Requirements
Free-to-play players can unlock all pets except those that require training members' only skills. RuneScape members, of course, can unlock all of them.
Unlock each pet as a random drop when training its specific skill in the ways listed below. The higher your level in a skill the higher your chances of getting its pet.
Your brand-new buddies can be used as familiar overrides, complete with their own unique animations for spawning, de-spawning, attacking, defending and special attacks.
Once you have unlocked five of these skilling pets you will also unlock the fabulous new title – "“Jack of Tradesâ€Â. Unlocking all these skilling pets will then get you the golden title – "“Jack of All Tradesâ€Â
