Can Legendary Pets Pick Up Charms? A Deep Dive into Pet Mechanics

Yes, legendary pets can be configured to pick up charms in specific games like RuneScape 3 (RS3). The functionality, however, varies greatly depending on the game. This article will primarily focus on how this mechanic works in RS3 with the Charming Imp and related aspects, while also drawing contrasts with other games where legendary pets exist.

The Charming Imp: Your Charm-Collecting Companion in RS3

In RuneScape 3, the primary tool for automatically picking up charms is the Charming Imp. This pocket-slot item doesn’t specifically need to be a legendary pet, but its function provides the ‘legendary’ convenience of automated charm collection. It instantly adds dropped charms and spirit gems directly to your inventory, or a spirit gem bag if you’re carrying one.

Acquiring and Configuring Your Charming Imp

Obtaining the Charming Imp requires dedication:

• Requirements: Level 21 Summoning, 21 Dungeoneering.
• Cost: 100,000 Dungeoneering tokens.
• Purchase Location: Rewards trader at Daemonheim.

Once you have the Charming Imp, you can configure it to collect or convert specific charms into experience. Simply right-click the imp and select “Configure” to open the settings. The interface allows you to choose which charms and spirit gems to collect automatically or convert into experience.

The Importance of Charm Collection in Runescape 3

Charms are vital in RS3, primarily for Summoning skill training. They are the main ingredient for creating Summoning pouches. Players often spend a significant amount of time farming monsters for these essential items. Different monsters drop different types of charms, with varying drop rates.

The efficiency of automatically collecting charms, particularly valuable ones like crimson, gold, or green charms, significantly boosts Summoning training rates.

Beyond Runescape 3: Legendary Pets in Other Games

The concept of a “legendary pet” with item collection abilities extends beyond RuneScape. Here are other examples:

• Adopt Me! (Roblox): Legendary pets in Adopt Me! provide convenience, often scavenging dropped items. You access the feature by interacting with the pet, selecting “Convenience,” and then “Scavenge.”
• Diablo Immortal: While not focused solely on charm collection, pets in Diablo Immortal can offer various bonuses and utility, though the automated collection aspect is less pronounced.

Overriding Appearance and Further Customization

In Runescape 3, the appearance of Legendary Pets can be overridden with companion, boss, and skilling pets. This option is accessed via a new checkbox on the Pets interface.

Overridden pets will behave almost exactly as usual but won’t be able to fight other Legendary Pets.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about Charm Collection and Legendary Pets

1. What is the fastest way to get charms in RS3? With high combat stats, the Arch-Glacor (Normal Mode, 0 mechanics) is a fast method, yielding approximately 350 crimson and 350 blue charms per hour, with potential profit. Another great option is Waterfiends in the ancient cavern, as they consistently drop crimson charms.

2. How long does it take to get the Charming Imp? The time required depends on your Dungeoneering level and efficiency. Accumulating 100,000 Dungeoneering tokens requires substantial Dungeoneering training. The experience required for 100,000 tokens will likely propel you well beyond level 21 Dungeoneering.

3. How do I reclaim the Charming Imp if I lose it? If you get rid of the Charming Imp, you must purchase it again from the Rewards trader in Daemonheim for 100,000 Dungeoneering tokens. There is no alternative method.

4. What does the Charming Imp cost in RS3? The Charming Imp costs 100,000 Dungeoneering reward tokens, purchased from the Rewards trader at Daemonheim.

5. What is the legendary pet bonus? In some games, Legendary Pet Bonuses can be potent. For example, at the end of their turn, the bearer gains 5 lock for 1 turn for each enemy within 2 squares. At the start of the fight, the bearer gains 2 dodge and 1 lock per enemy in the fight, but also loses 1% of maximum vitality per enemy.

6. How does the Charming Imp work? The Charming Imp acts as a pocket-slot item that automatically collects charms and spirit gems as they drop, instantly placing them in your inventory or spirit gem bag.

7. Can I configure which charms the Charming Imp picks up? Yes, you can configure the Charming Imp to select specific charms and spirit gems for automatic collection or conversion to experience via the configuration interface.

8. What is a gem bag, and how does it relate to charm collection? A gem bag holds uncut gems, not charms. The Charming Imp can store charms directly in your inventory or a spirit gem bag if you have one.

9. Where do I use Dungeoneering tokens? Dungeoneering tokens are used to purchase rewards from the Rewards trader in Daemonheim, including the Charming Imp, gem bag, and other helpful items. They can also be used to purchase Dungeoneering experience.

10. Can I trade charms with other players in RuneScape? No, standard charms are not tradeable with other players.

11. What is the probability of crafting a legendary pet? The probability depends on the specific crafting system of the game. The text mentions the chance to craft a legendary pet is 34/(80+34), or 29.82%. To craft 7 legendary pets in a row, you would need to hit that 29.82% chance 7 times in a row.

12. How do you upgrade a legendary pet? Upgrading Pets typically requires a certain amount of Expertise and Enhancement Tokens. An Epic pet requires 100,000 Expertise and 30 Pet Enhancement Tokens to be upgraded to a Legendary.

13. How can I get Dungeoneering tokens quickly? The Temple of Aminishi is a fast method for obtaining tokens, sometimes faster than traditional Dungeoneering. The Temple of Aminishi often provides better Dungeoneering experience than traditional Dungeoneering for lower level dungeoneering.

14. Is the auto-pickup feature common in all games with pets? No, it varies. Some games offer it through specific items (like the Charming Imp), while others might have pets with innate auto-pickup abilities or require in-game purchases. Check the game’s documentation for details.

15. What is the purpose of the Games Learning Society?

The Games Learning Society (see GamesLearningSociety.org) explores how games can be used as a platform for learning and research, and is an invaluable resource for educators and game designers.

Conclusion

The ability of legendary pets to pick up charms depends entirely on the game in question. In Runescape 3, the Charming Imp is a crucial tool for efficient charm collection, significantly improving Summoning training. While other games might offer similar automated collection features through different pet mechanics, understanding the specific nuances within each game is essential for maximizing your efficiency and enjoyment.
