The SWTOR official forums are sometimes an excellent source of player-created guides, featuring every type of guide from flashpoint and operations guides, to class guides, role-playing guides, PvP guides, lore guides, and even guides for all of the collectors in Star Wars: The Old Republic. Vanity pet collectors, here’s one for you!

Due to the old one not being updated in a long while, I offered to remake it as to keep up to date with pets for those who care. If you have no interest in pets…well, don’t post :P No reason to flame or anything, okay? Please also do not troll the thread. This really is to help people and false information is just…never helpful.

For research threads, there are The Orobird Thread, Tauntaun Thread, and Other Misc. Pets. However, you’re welcome to research here instead too. Mostly those are there to read through or archives–however, the Tauntaun Thread has a lovely list of people who can make the Ice Scrabbler Jerky for you! Now, onto the guide.

The guide can be found here: Vanity Pets Guide

It’s an updated version of a few threads I originally mentioned in my Laura Shot Third: Pet Lover Resources column back in April.

Special thanks to the creator of this awesome guide, and happy hunting!

Star Wars: The Old Republic has more than a couple large gifts for MMO fans. Eight fantastic stories, a large portion of the Star Wars universe to explore, an involved companion system, crafting, space battles, warzones, flashpoints, heroic quests, and operations. Big features that excite us about the game and keep us playing until endgame and beyond. Big features are necessary for any successful MMO.

Often overlooked are the small things, which are also necessary for any successful MMO. This is especially the case when it comes to a game’s possible longevity. All MMOs should desire to live a long, successful life. The small details are important because they are what give life to a game world.
