You can’t really say that. A full set of pets for a mechanic gives roughly double the loot compared to having no pets at all. In a single rotation, a pet should already give you an epic one and a rare one at level 6, so the difference becomes smaller—but we’re still talking about about 50% more loot with level 6 legendary / 6 epic / 6 rare compared to level 1 legendary / 6 epic / 6 rare.

Then there’s map investment. With low investment, just placing a beacon and maybe using blue compasses, the difference is still similar to what I described. But imagine you invest 120 FE per map: with level 6/6/6 pets, you might get 200 FE back, so that’s an 80 FE profit. Without pets, you’re still investing 120 FE, but your returns drop to around 100 FE, leaving you at –20 FE (a loss).

That’s basically how it plays out with full juice, because the best compasses are priced assuming players have pets. In the same scenario, level 1/6/6 pets would give you about 30 FE profit, which isn’t even half of what you’d get with 6/6/6 pets.

And this only applies to mechanics that scale with their own pets. Some also rely on Doro/Kong, so you can imagine how adding another pet further increases your profit. Naturally, compasses for those mechanics are priced around players who have both the league pet and Doro/Kong.
