The pet can sell carried loot, and its shopping interface supports supplies. Check both the items being sold and the requested purchases before sending it away.

Keep shared storage intentional

The shared stash is useful for equipment intended for another hero. Personal storage and shared storage serve different purposes, so check where an item is being placed.

Storage choices
DestinationBest useAvoid
Hero inventoryEquipment and supplies in current useFilling every slot with obsolete items
Pet inventoryLoot intended for the next saleLeaving an upgrade among junk
Personal stashItems reserved for this characterForgetting a required quest-related item
Shared stashEquipment for other heroesAssuming it is the same as the personal stash

Fish change pet behavior

Read the fish effect and duration before transforming a pet. A temporary transformation is a tactical tool rather than a permanent change of the character's selected companion.

Wait for a safe window

Sending the pet away removes its immediate combat support. Finish a dangerous encounter or choose a quiet travel section before ordering a long supply trip.
