Druid Animal Companion

[Cathral]

I am new to Society and wondered if its possible to have the Pangolin animal companion.

Archives of Nethys show it as being in the Grand Bazaar book so would assume I need to use boons for it but I am still clueless on how to find which specific boon unlocks it if its possible.

Are there any resources where you can search for specific things and show what boons are required to unlock them?

[Quentin Coldwater]

Normally, pretty much everything of Common rarity is available. The Character Options tells me that no common option in Grand Bazaar is restricted, and Archives of Nethys also shows it as an available option, so I'm 90% sure the pangolin is freely available to you.

There are indeed boons for specific things, but AFAIK, they're all for uncommon options (granted, I haven't looked through them thoroughly). Usually, if an item is common, there's no real reason to lock it behind a boon.
There is no way to search for specific boons (I think), but you can go HERE, click open the three tabs for Pathfinder and use the search function if you're in doubt (use the book it's from for a quick selection).

Have fun with your pangolin! :)

Thanks for the info.

I had hoped that was the case but wanted to make sure I was reading it correctly :)

I fear Quentin Coldwater was not accurate... Please read this thread.

Summary: Each shop in the Bazaare requires a 30 acp boon to gain access to any & all items in that shop.

Note that almost every item in most of the shops are Uncommon, if not Rare.

[Quentin Coldwater]

Yes, those are for items, and indeed a lot of uncommon options. However, this is an animal companion, which you just get from your class, not something you buy. Also, it's not flagged as uncommon.

Note that I couldn't read the full list of shops in the FAQ because for some reason my browser doesn't let me scroll when I have the relevant FAQ question open, so I could be missing something.

To echo Quentin (since there was a dissenting opinion) pangolin animal companions are standard availability. I know this because in the Lost Omens: Grand Bazaar entry on the Character Options page it says: “All options are of standard availability unless specifically noted otherwise.“

And the pangolin AC is common rarity, because it isn’t listed as Uncommon or Rare. As such no boon is required.

The only options unlocked by Frequent Shopper (The Menagerie) are three uncommon items from that chapter. The common animal companions do not require the boon (I made that mistake myself a while back when I was new, but fortunately the OP team will refund the occasional mistaken purchase).
