Drakantos has a deep collection layer made up of pets, mounts, and collectible cards. Cosmetics like pets and mounts are shared across an account and can be hunted in the world or earned from tough fights, and the card systems reward exploration. Many of these collectibles are found through the Open World and Adventurer's Guild content, and the rarest come from the game's Bosses and Enemies.

Pets
There are around 195 pets to collect, which is the planned launch roster. The number grew over development, from 50 pets in December 2023 to 150 in October 2024 before reaching the final planned figure, so the count is described here as the launch roster rather than a number locked into any one test build. Pets are obtained in the wild by giving a pet a treat it likes: get or cook the right treat, give it to the pet, and if the pet likes it, it becomes yours. Some special pets are nurtured from their very first steps. Once you have a pet, it can find hidden items while you walk, making companions useful as well as cosmetic.
Mounts
Many mounts exist, made up of various creatures along with their saddles and color variations, so a single mount type can appear in several looks. Some monsters can become mounts, with creatures such as a Yeti or a Tiger crossing over from enemy to ridable mount. The rarest mounts come from endgame fights: each endgame boss drops a rare exclusive mount and pet, which makes those bosses a target for collectors as well as for loot. An exact total number of mounts has not been confirmed.
Databook and Bestiary
The Databook and the Bestiary are both collectible card systems. Rather than unlocking entries automatically, each entry is a card hidden across Adventures and the Open World, so you find and collect them through exploration. An NPC in Kasteron rewards you for completing sets of cards, handing out titles, pets, and player displays, with higher-value rewards along the way that can even include some weapons. The two systems track different things: the Bestiary records the monsters you have defeated, while the Databook holds location and NPC lore.
