Default Rainbow Phoenix..

A little disappointed that the Rainbow Phoenix only gets a standard "Animal Companion" monument in HoM, whereas the "Imperial" Phoenix gets its own statue. I would have thought that this should have been the other way round if anything!

Just a little warning before anyone else wastes a monument place.

Edit: changed Celestial to Imperial - my mistake.

Can you charm a Celestial Phoenix as a pet?

If so where at?

The Victory Parade after beating Shiro Tagachi at the end of the factions campaign...

And as far as I'm aware it is just called "Phoenix" ... not "Imperial Phoenix". If he is referring to the HUGE ones the Emperor has though, those cannot be charmed.

Well, it's not really a waste because you can still get the other pets. It is a waste of time levelling it though. Rainbow Phoenix was the first pet I added to the HoM, followed by the Imperial Phoenix, Black Moa and Black Widow.

I'm guessing there is no monument for the Rainbow Phoenix to avoid an outcry from people without People Know Me or greater about the grind to get the pet.

Actually I think all eye of the north pets get the animal companion statue. We'll I've only tried with the rainbow phoenix and snow bear. Could someone confirm?

I got both animal companion AND black moa when I added the black moa.

I think every single pet, even the ones that have their own statue, get the animal companion statue

Yes, this is true.

As for the name "Imperial Phoenix", that is the name the end-game Pheonix gets when entered into the HoM. Only the UW Spider, the Faction Pheonix and the Black Moa can be entered into the HoM as their own statue.

My guess the reason the Rainbow Pheonix does not is that you are already getting unlocks for having 10 Max Titles in the first place.

I added my Black Widow spider to the HoM but traded it in for the Rainbow Phoenix. I now find that only the Animal Companion statue is displayed, and there is no longer a representation of my spider (nor the phoenix for that matter). I take it this means that the HoM only acknowledges that we had a pet, not what kind of pet. Can anyone confirm?

It's quite possible you have more than 5 pets/Heros and the Black Widow Spider dropped off the list.

Click on the monument to adjust the order of Pets/Heros shown.

I have to wonder, why is Factions the only campaign with memorable pets?

Prophesies has a "memorable" pet (UW spider). To those who suggested spidey was displaced from the list - I hadn't even considered that. I've been adding heroes as elite armors became available, and never thought to re-shuffle the order. Will check this when I get home later. Thanks for reminding me of this feature.

The UW spider is a core pet.

i realy hope, like posted in an other thread, that the other campaign's and the add on will receive each their own ones too, so that not only factions has these prestige pets ...

I'd die for a little fenrir pet for my ranger as GW:EN prestige pet for example or for a reskinned mountain eahle pet called Quetzalcoatl , the thunderbird. would both fit perfect to GW:EN, especialy the Quetzalcoatl, because in GW:En also exist tengu like enemies called Quetzals.
Both would be real epic pets which would be worth to be called that alone by their lookings.

then give prohecies and nightfall something and fish, then would have each campaign and the add on have all their own special pets, but I would love it personally too, when the player could put any ranger pet there, once you got your pet to level 20

Quetzalcoatl?? By any chance do you even know what a Quetzalcoatl is?

Quetzal is just the name of a brightly colored bird typically found in Central and South American rain forests. Hence the fact that those bastards are almost neon green....

Coatl is Nahual for Serpent or Snake....

you put them together and you get......



Looks more like the Kuunavang with feathers.....IF it where to ever be added to the game it would have it would have to use the Kuunnavang skin and probably be about the size of a Full Grown Rainbow Phoenix.

I was very disappointed in Nightfalls pets, especially after Factions.

I was also surprised there was not a Black Moa equivalent for Luxon, although it's strange that the Incubator for the Black Moa Chick comes from Luxon territotry...

Heh read Zho's journal. The reason you get a luxon incubator is cuz they're experts at incubators. They do breed combat turtles you know

That's what I get for not reading the lore...

shame there's not a Turtle Pet, though (and, not, not minipet or Battle Turtle! Just a pet size Turtle Pet for Rangers.)
