I tried the charm a rabbit but it didn't work.

There is some false information here:

1) The moss spider can not be tamed in pre-searing (I have tried)
2) The wolf is not hard to capture (opinion)
3) The bears in pre-searing are not possible to tame.

Don't meant to be a flame, but I have 1 really puzzling question to ask. When I tried to charm the Moss Spider in Pre-Sear, it says: It is not an animal. ANd I have seen people charm Black Widow. Is Black Widow an animal?? If spiders are animals, why can't we charm moss spiders as well??

Genosis · May 31, 2005, 09:40 PM // 21:40

Plenty of people in pre-searing have gotten bears. Do a search.

Just added this information into my compendium program. Thought I would drop a note here.

You can find the program at Guild Wars Arcane Install

and report problems, suggestions, comments, etc at Guild Wars Arcane Forum

I dont' know much about rangers but does the level of the animal make a difference? If it does it'd be cool if the level of the animals were added.

Viruzzz · Jun 04, 2005, 08:25 PM // 20:25

you can't charm spiders in pre-searing. i know that for sure, their not animals. period. and i still doubt you can charm bears.

the warthog's (i supose you mean the prize-winning hog's?) aren't charmable.. i don't remember why their not, i just remember i couldn't do it

I never tried to charm the prize winning hogs, but there are a couple warthogs running around Pre Sear. I found mine near Althea around the slope leading to the pond that the bull was in. There was one other location that had a couple wandering around, just can't remember where.

you will see 1 or 2 possibilities

1- there will be 2 striders

2- there will be 1 strider, then between him and the lake will be a hog you can charm

great info about pets that has not been posted in this thread (yet)

This is what it states in the Guide
Animal Lvl Dmg Armor
Strider 1 Prc 3-5 AC 3
Wolf 2 Sla 4-6 AC 6
Warthog 2 Blunt 4-6 AC 6
Moa Bird 3 Sla 5-8 AC 9
Melandrus Stalker 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Snow Wolf 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Lynx 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Warthog 5 Blunt 6-10 AC15
Dune Lizard 5 Prc 6-10 AC15
Black Bear 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Elder Black Widow 20 Prc 17-29 AC60

So clearly the black widow is better

So clearly the black widow is better

At their starting levels, of course the black widow is better, but what about when they achieve the same level?
Look at the warthog... At Lvl 2 it does Blunt 4-6 and has an AC of 6. But at Lvl 5 the damage increases to Blunt 6-10 and AC15. Just from this alone you can figure out that their stat's increase as they level.
If you need more, then common sense dictates that if their stats did not increase, a level 20 Strider would deal no damage to a lvl 20 mob and would probably die from one hit if it's AC stayed at 3

Other wise, I find it very odd that they all do the same damage and AC at level 5, contriary(sorry for spelling) to what everyone has observed and experienced.

If the Guide was the Strategy guide that can be found on the shelves, there are a couple of posts discussing it's errors, and mostly because it's old data that has changed with beta's and the updates since launch.

Ninna · Jun 06, 2005, 05:23 AM // 05:23

we dont have stats for pet damage at level 20
(except black widow)

im confident that all pets at level 20 have AC 60

how pets vary is damage type / attack speed / damage

Sorry Epinephrine. I know this is off topic, but I just had to let you know that this made me laugh.

Pretty funny.

It will be nice when the information on pets gets compiled, and we know the differences. I assume they are all the pretty much the same though, but I wonder if there are HP differences or elemental immunities. I have heard this said before, and I think it is something that should come in an update. Is being able to Dye your animal. I presonally would love to have a yellow Moa Bird. Although I can see PETA having a problem with it, being cruelty to animals or something like that.

Jehuti Enders · Jun 06, 2005, 09:44 PM // 21:44

The only 2 different pets i've had have been a stalker and a wolf that i got in pre-searing. I mostly play with my w/mo but just recently i was doing the "gates of kryta" mission. i think that's it... anyway, the bonus there involves finding a warthog named "Oink" of all things, and taking it back to its owner so that you can be given the bonus mission. anyway, while oink is with u, he fights mobs and from what i saw, at lvl 8, he was doing some decent damage. Enough so that i even thought bout going back to charm it, but figured it wouldnt work since its part of a mission like the prize winners or the rogue bull. i think i'm gonna start my ranger over and get a warthog

Drakron · Jun 06, 2005, 09:48 PM // 21:48

Oink is pretty cute too ...

Viruzzz · Jun 06, 2005, 11:27 PM // 23:27

Oink is invinsible, you can't kill him. the monsters won't attack him either

try casting an enchantment on him
