The Silkroad Online team has released a new patch that features an updated and reworked 'Fellow System'. The Fellow System in SO is essentially the pet system. The team has indicated, however, that pets have all new training and enhanced abilities for players to discover.

Fellows work alongside players and are a vital asset when going into battle. Not only can they utilize powerful attack combinations, which later on will become indispensable in battle, but allow players to move quickly throughout the game while sitting comfortably on their backs. Fellows are also very intelligent, they have the ability to judge individual situations by themselves to determine and trigger corresponding skills automatically. There are three types of tactical settings in the Fellows system - aggressive, defensive and buff. Players can choose a Fellow type based on their preference. It is also possible for Fellows to acquire additional abilities or special skills like Spirit Points by visiting the store.
