Use the companion's inventory and town services while protecting valuable equipment.
Edition covered
The original PC campaign and its four classes. Screenshots are publisher images of Torchlight II. Guide rules describe the classic PC game; console ports, mods and later updates may change respec options or online services.
Send the pet on useful town trips

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.
| Service | Benefit | Check |
|---|---|---|
| Carry loot | More inventory room | Keep valuables out of the sell pile |
| Sell in town | Turns spare equipment into gold | Review the pet pack |
| Shopping list | Replenishes selected supplies | Check quantities and gold |
| Fish transformation | Changes the pet's form and abilities | Read effect duration |
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.
| Destination | Best use | Avoid |
|---|---|---|
| Hero inventory | Equipment and supplies in current use | Filling every slot with obsolete items |
| Pet inventory | Loot intended for the next sale | Leaving an upgrade among junk |
| Personal stash | Items reserved for this character | Forgetting a required quest-related item |
| Shared stash | Equipment for other heroes | Assuming 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.
