by Blake Jun 01,2025

This isn’t just about adding a cute companion to your journey; these pets can significantly enhance your gameplay. Whether you're a Beast Tamer or another class, you'll find plenty of options to suit your style.

Not all pets are created equal, though. That’s why we’ve compiled this comprehensive Rune Slayer Pet Tier List to help you decide which creatures deserve a spot by your side. We’ve separated the list into two categories: one for Beast Tamers, who have access to a wider range of powerful pets, and one for all other classes.
