Okay, so pretty self-explanatory title. But really, how do I move other pets into the 'active'? aka put them in the exploring team?

Welcome to Sylestia :)

1. If you don't have a party slot available, go to Esior's Haven -> Sylesti Plaza on the map and purchase a new party slot from William.

2. Go to Explore -> Party

3. If you want to remove a pet first, click "-" on the top right of them.

4. You will see three drop-down lists. These two are what you're looking for right now. With the left one, choose a stable (you have 1). With the right one, choose the pet you want on your party.


5. Click the "+" button. The pet will be added. You can also swap the pets' positions by clicking on them.

6. Click the "Set Party" button to confirm.

ah, okay. Thanks so much!!! I uh, have another question. why can't I like generate any pets? I'm in the generator, but the 'generate' button isn't working. Umm why?

to generate a pet you need a generator essence.
See guide here on the details of how to obtain and use generator essences

what are advancement points for?
how do I get diamonds?

Advancement points are used for
> Buying new Generator save slots
> buying new party preset save slots
> buying new wardrobe/avatar design save slots
> buying base styles in the wardrobe (eg, mouths, eyes)

>> It is intended that there will someday be an AP shop, but that does not yet exist



Diamonds are bought primarily with real money, but you can also purchase them from other players for gold in the Currency Exchange (or sell stuff to other players for them if that's an agreement reached via communication)
Diamonds are also generally part of official festival and event forum games prizes, if you place in one
