Why the Sea Otter Is a Splashy Catch
The Sea Otter is the only pet that swims. Its passive skill, Wave Sweep, auto-collects floating loot (pearls, drift seeds, fish scraps) within a 10-tile radius every 12 seconds. At level 10 it also grants a +7 % Water Crop Yield buff, boosting harvest numbers for Lotus, Kelp, and Watercress.
Prerequisites
- Player level 20+ — unlocks the Coral Lagoon biome.
- Seaweed Lure ×4 — improves Otter spawn odds.
- Marine Net Tier 2 — required to capture aquatic pets.
- Fish Snack ×1 (optional) — halves taming mini-game time.
- Empty Critter Coop slot (costs 250 Gold if you need another).
Spawn Schedule in Coral Lagoon
| Server time | Otter spawn chance / 5 min tick | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 06 : 00–18 : 00 | 3 % | Daylight, easier to spot |
| 18 : 00–24 : 00 | 6 % | Preferred window (double odds) |
| 00 : 00–06 : 00 | 4 % | Fog lowers visibility |
Step 1 | Lure the Otter
- Teleport to Coral Lagoon at 18 : 00.
- Place Seaweed Lure ×4 on the wooden jetty—each lure adds +2 % spawn.
- Wait near the water's edge; look for a sleek brown shape diving in a figure-eight.
Step 2 | Capture With the Marine Net
- Equip Marine Net Tier 2.
- Stand on the jetty; throw the net when the Otter surfaces (blue targeting circle).
- Mini-game: three moving rings; click when the middle ring shrinks into the green zone.
- Use Fish Snack before throw to widen each ring by 30 %.
- Win all three clicks → Otter tamed.
Step 3 | Move the Otter Into Your Coop
- Tamed Otter lands in inventory → Critters tab.
- Equip; it occupies one pet slot.
- Starts at level 1 (radius 10, sweep 12 s). Level by collecting 1 000 loot items per level.
Otter Level Table
| Level | Loot sweep radius | Sweep cooldown | Water Crop Yield bonus |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 10 tiles | 12 s | — |
| 5 | 11 tiles | 10 s | +3 % |
| 10 | 12 tiles | 8 s | +7 % |
Synergies & Best Uses
- Lotus Ponds — Otter scoops floating lotus pods, each worth 800 Gold.
- Kelp Beds — doubles as harvest helper and loot vacuum.
- Fishing Spots — auto-picks fish scraps dropped during rod minigame.
- Combine with Night Staff Moonbeam to speed growth while Otter grabs outputs.
Cost Breakdown & ROI
| Item | Gold / Materials | Value gained* |
|---|---|---|
| Seaweed Lure ×4 | 200 Gold | ≈ 4 – 6 extra spawn rolls |
| Marine Net Tier 2 | 1 800 Gold (one-time) | Reusable on all water pets |
| Fish Snack | 60 Gold | Optional comfort |
*A single level 10 Otter recovers costs in ~90 minutes of unattended pond farming.
Common Mistakes
- Using Tier 1 Net — Otter escapes; net too slow.
- Hunting at noon without lures — spawn odds minimal; add Seaweed Lure.
- Full inventory — scooped items vanish; maintain space.
- Equipping two Otters — only highest level activates buffs; slot waste.
- Expecting speed boost — Otter doesn't increase player swim speed.
Advanced Tips
Server-Hop Rapid Spawn

Slime-for-Pearls Flip
Sell extra Otters' Pearls (rare 2 % drop) for 75 Bee Coins each in #loot-trade.
Dual-Biome Farm
Mount Raccoon (seed drops) on land, Otter in water; alternate harvest rows along shore for continuous sweep coverage.

Conclusion
Taming the Sea Otter turns every watery patch into a hassle-free gold mine. Lure it at dusk in Coral Lagoon, nail the net mini-game, level it through loot scoops, and let your new swimmer pet handle the surface pickups while your harvest numbers—and wallet—rise with the tide.
