Dungeon Siege II pet growth, reagents and enchantable equipment

Raise a pet through feeding and build equipment bonuses with the reagent grid.

Edition covered

The 2005 base campaign on PC. Three gallery images are publisher screenshots; the fourth is publisher promotional artwork. Broken World adds classes and content that are outside these base-game guides.

Pets grow by consuming equipment

A party fights armored enemies on dry grassland.

A purchased pet can be fed suitable items to develop. Read its feeding and growth information before sacrificing an item; a weapon useful to a companion may be more valuable than the pet's next meal.

Reagents require enchantable equipment

Only eligible nonmagical equipment marked Enchantable uses this system. Already enchanted or unique equipment is not a blank canvas for adding another reagent grid.

GoodYes, when marked EnchantableSmaller reagent capacity
GreatYes, when marked EnchantableMore room than basic quality
ExceptionalYes, when marked EnchantableCompare the full resulting bonus
LegendaryYes, when marked EnchantableLargest of the listed quality grids

Fit reagents inside the grid

Better item quality offers a larger grid. Arrange compatible reagents, inspect the resulting enchantment list and cost, then confirm only when the item supports its intended wearer.

Keep feeding and enchanting inventories separate

Both systems consume items or reagents. Store valuable equipment and planned components so a quick pet-feeding session does not destroy the material needed for an upgrade.
