If you have an animal and unequip Charm Animal, then re-equip it, will you still have your pet?

What are the best pets? And how good is the Stalker?

Mss Drizzt · Mar 23, 2005, 11:45 PM // 23:45

Yes u will. You do not lose your animal unless you sell it to a collector.
For 0 gold.

Mss Drizzt · Mar 23, 2005, 11:48 PM // 23:48

Next BWE I am going to try to tame the Rouge Bull.

Seriously? I remember people had been clamoring to be able to dye their pets.

Did ArenaNet appease the mob?

The kitty is cool.

Mss Drizzt · Mar 24, 2005, 12:24 AM // 00:24

The Black Bear is prob. the best pet but also the hardest to charm. It has been posted that it can be done, and has. Although I do not know if it was true or not.

I just really want to try it out on the Bull. It would be cool to have that big hulking thing as a pet.

Kiwi · Mar 24, 2005, 12:25 AM // 00:25

Well on a scale of one to ten, how good is the Stalker?

And on a scale of one to ten, hood good is the Wolf?

And is it possible to get the bull?

Scaper-X · Mar 24, 2005, 12:26 AM // 00:26

I believe that the bull might not be tameable because he's a quest "item", as it were.

Personally, I'm looking foward to charming the lizards found in Eden.

He's an animal though, good enough for me.

And next BWE, I'm getting that bull!

Does anyone know where to sell your pet?

Oh, and sorta off topic, but will your character get deleted? (including pets)

Scaper-X · Mar 24, 2005, 12:31 AM // 00:31

You can rid yourself of your pet at the Tamer's just outside of Ascalon City. This will allow you to tame a new one.

Also, when you talk about deletion, you mean the wipe occuring just before gamelaunch? If so, characters are being /reset/. This means starting from square one but retaining their names. Believe you'll have to select their classes again, even.

Kiwi · Mar 24, 2005, 12:33 AM // 00:33

Damn well then I'll just have to study this bull and learn how to tame it.

Mss Drizzt · Mar 24, 2005, 12:33 AM // 00:33

Char will get reset to lvl 1 with starting equip to match. But Pre-order ppl will have a one day head start.

I want the Bull TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO..

We should hook up and try together.

What a cool pet it would be.

Kiwi · Mar 24, 2005, 12:34 AM // 00:34

Ya, but if no one has it. It must be hard.

William of Orange · Mar 24, 2005, 12:35 AM // 00:35

I'm partial to the Lynx myself. I mean, come on people!! Who wouldn't want an animal titled "Playful Lynx!?!" Just makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside...

Kiwi · Mar 24, 2005, 12:37 AM // 00:37

What about a pet Capybara!

Loviatar · Mar 24, 2005, 12:43 AM // 00:43

we have had a pair of level 20s fail to get the bear as it can spam break charm faster than you can do anything

seriously tried and failed

balance people

i think the bear would be overkill compared to the others

KIWI

to find out which is more powerful take the cat out and have it fight the others and see who wins consistently

i couldnt dye my cat so it might have been a special case but it was labled mxxx stalker and had red side stripes

Halfy · Mar 24, 2005, 12:57 AM // 00:57

There have been a few pet threads, but I will just say a couple things:

Each pet seems to have a slight advantage/disadvantage as compared to the others. Consider the following:

------------Move------Attack Spd-------Attack dmg-------Resiliance
Boar (Oink!)-Slow---------slow-------------high--------------high
Moa Bird ---Fast----------fast-------------low---------------low
Lynx-------medium--------med-------------med--------------med
Stalker-----medium--------fast-------------med--------------med
Wolf-------medium---------Med-------------med--------------high

Since I have tried them all, this is the best I can venture. All of these abilities are all relative to the general effectiveness of a pet of course, which changes with their levels and is obviously less effective than a player char. Still they are nice to have, especially with those new skills they added. Kitties can pounce!

Hope this helps

Any other rangers feel free to correct me or comment on this table.
