How to insure your pet’s life in OSRS

It is very important for you to insure your pet’s life. This is because, unless your pet is insured, you will lose any active followers or pets that are in your inventory whenever you die in OSRS. However, if your pet is insured or protected on death, you will be able to reclaim your lost pet for a sum of 1,000,000 coins from Probita.

Nevertheless, you can only reclaim a lost pet if they were insured before. In order to insure your pet’s survival, head over to Probita and pay her a sum of 500,000 coins to ensure that you can reclaim your pet even if you die in the field of battle.

What is the role of pets in OSRS?

Most pets that are featured in OSRS are purely for the sake of visual pleasure. Although most pets are designed with the same mechanic, some of them do feature unique traits that can inherently serve as perks in various scenarios. For example, the Nexling has a much faster walking pace in comparison to other pets in the game.
