Hey guys!
I'm not sure if this has been answered somewhere else, if so, please direct me. I have a Loyalty Pet Slot Totem, but I don't have a Gold Account at the moment. If I use the pet slot totem, will I be able to adopt a new pet? Or do I have to have an active Gold Account to get the extra pet? I'm already over 10 pets.
Thanks!
Nope, you dont need a GA, pet slots have been changed so that a GA is no longer needed.

I think you still need a GA to get slots beyond the max. (I think the change was that the extra five slots was no longer a GA perk, but GAs were still required for pets past 10.) But here's the announcement from when they made the change. Maybe a more concrete answer is buried somewhere in here.
And here's the one from when the sP slots were added to the MC.
(Subeta really needs to clarify this somewhere!)
Thanks for linking me there! It is slightly confusing.. It says that pet slots are no longer connected to GAs so I don't need one to have the extra slot, but also seems to specify that all accounts have a base 10 slots. I'm assuming that what they're meaning is anyone can have the 10 base slots already and as long as I have the item to get more slots, I can do so without the GA. This sounds promising, I'm going to try activating the pet slot totem and I'll let you know how it goes xD
EDIT: "You have been given 1 extra pet slot, for a total of 13" I guess it worked! Haha I'll have to try adopting a new pet now, but I'm pretty sure it worked!! Thanks for the confirmation as well,
