Hi everyone, i was wonder if anyone out there who has a phoenix would mind screen-shotting it so i can see what it looks like, me and several friends have been curious (were working through the cantha story just to get one). Heres a TYVM ahead of time.

If you want to see one firsthand before you complete the game...feel free to whisper Fate of Nations if I'm online and I'll show you what it looks like...it's really quite a magnificant bird

He kicks ass too, btw

i have to disagree... it looks like some blind guy painted a chicken and put some horns on it.
They did a good job with the celestial phoenix at the mission with closer to the star.. why didn't they use a simlar model to that? : (

xiaotsu · Aug 07, 2006, 09:24 AM // 09:24

Because it's based on a real bird and not a mythical one? Sounds right to me.

Have to agree with prodigy ming, it's a flying multicoloured chicken

Plus you'll have to train it as it's only LvL 5 which seems a bit daft for an end game pet when the Black Moa's already at 20.

Two Words: Pet Evolution.
I'd rather have a level 5 Phoenix that i can train myself than being stuck with a Black Moa that won't see any change. It's basically the same as with "Green Items" versus "Modable items".

Blackhawk · Aug 07, 2006, 10:18 AM // 10:18

Err didnt I say he'd have to train it???, just didnt want him thinking it's already at a higher level than 5 as it's at the end of the game thats all.

Prefer my Spider anyway, and I got it the proper way and not being lazy via some capping service

Some people have no respect for art.

Message me in game if you want to see one close up.

Some people don't like them, but I am rather fond of mine.

A couple of notes. The phoenix you can capture is no where near as big as the monsters that sit next to the Emperor, and they do not grow at all as you level them.

As a previous poster pointed out, they are only lvl 5 when you cap them.

A State Alchemist · Aug 07, 2006, 06:57 PM // 18:57

TYVM for all the replys. I appreciate all the different opinions.

You did. But you combined it with a whine about the level.

So i simply stated why it is Level 5 and not Level 20 and why it is NOT daft that it is this way.

I wish they'd turn down the "fidgit" rate on the phoenix. It looks a bit dumb flapping here, flapping there, when your character is standind still.

The other pets just pace around which seems fine for a bored tiger (I also love how the cranes catch the odd fish, even standing on magma). The phoenix, and future flying pets, should land and just look around/preen until you start moving again.

easyg · Aug 13, 2006, 02:53 AM // 02:53

At first I thought the Phoenix was pretty cool looking. Then it sort of got uglier and uglier the more I looked at it. The tail is just terrible. Literally looks like the Phoenix has a feather duster stuck to his butt.

I also recommend the Black Moa. Comes 20th lvl and is already Dire if I'm not mistaken. Almost everyone who trains a pet wants it to be Dire. So what's not to like about the Black Moa? Plus it comes decked out in a spiked colar and stuff like the mascot of an S&M club.

dr1zz one · Aug 14, 2006, 11:31 PM // 23:31

^^ i dont think the black moa has been proven to be dire.

Dante the Warlord · Aug 15, 2006, 01:12 AM // 01:12

Phoenix is awesome...but what is its type of damage?

2ndName · Aug 15, 2006, 05:53 AM // 05:53

I got that bird for my Ele just for kicks. I wouldn't be caught dead running around with one of those as my Ranger. He got himself a nice Dire White Tiger.

prism2525 · Jun 14, 2007, 07:20 PM // 19:20

I just got my phoenix to lvl 11 and it didn't evolve. Is this normal? I'm levelling it solo too with a beastmastery skillbar to maximize its damage output.

lynn yi · Jun 15, 2007, 07:32 PM // 19:32

It's very losely based on the description of the Chinese phoenix, not the fiery version. After all, it's in factions which is a land based on eastern culture.

but here's a link to the guild wiki page about it:
