Can you Pet Animals in Roots of Pacha?

Some animals can be petted in Roots of Pacha, but only those that are pets. I tried petting every animal I saw the moment I saw them!! The good news is you can even pet animals who are owned by others in the village, as long as the animal trusts you. To pet an animal, approach the animal and click on them. You'll see an option to Pet. They may or may not accept, depending on the trust level. To raise trust level, you can visit them every day and give them affection. Gradually, the pet will trust you more.

Second, you must own a house with enough space for them. Finally, only a few types of animals (like Rabbits and Wolves) can become pets. Pets can follow you around and be given gifts, but you do not have to feed them (they find their own food).

How to Ride Animals in Roots of Pacha

You can ride some animals in Roots of Pacha if you complete all the necessary criteria. You'll need to earn Prosperity through offerings and reach over 10,000 points continuously. Then go to Okka and give her the required materials (Roots and Plant Fibers) to receive a mount/saddle. Animals that can be ridden are Boars, Guanacos, Ibexes, Mammoths, and Ostriches.

Best Animals in Roots of Pacha

Chicken

Chickens are extremely useful in that they provide consistent supplies in the form of eggs. Especially for a prehistoric village, eggs are extremely valuable. They also don't need to be searched for every day the way wild animals do.

Ibex

Ibex can provide two different types of very useful drops for you. You can collect their horns, as well as milk. Both items are crucial to the village's development in Roots of Pacha.

Llama

On top of being super adorable, Llamas are also a helpful resource for their fur. These fibers can be used in a myriad of ways to improve your village.

Ostrich

If you don't want to bother with chickens, Ostriches can also provide eggs for you. These can be used in cooking, but also in a few other miscellaneous ways. Additionally, you can collect their feathers for crafting or offering.

Rabbit

The big advantage to Rabbits is that you can keep them as pets once you gain their trust and become their friend. It also doesn't hurt that they are so cute, and I want an army of cuteness following me!

Wolf

Just like Rabbits, Wolves can be made into pets. They also don't drop anything of value, but their companionship and cute appearance make them rank highly on my list.
