I have unlocked level 12 for my pet - but he's still level 5? - Guild Wars Forums

Hey guys!

I'm new to the Menagerie (as my hero is a Ranger, not me). I got a Hound of Balthazar who starts at level 5. I successfully unlocked level 12 from Helena, however he is still level 5.

Do I still need to train my pet to level 12, and then go back and unlock a new level? Or am I supposed to have a level 12 pet?

Thanks!

Unlocking a higher level from Helena does not change the pet that you already have, but gives you the option to charm a pet of that level in the training arena. Just give up your level 5 hound, speak to Wynn in the arena, and have her bring a level 12 hound for you to charm.

BTW, it bears mentioning that this particular pet can be very easily death leveled in the menagerie without spending silver coins to pay for the leveling service from Helena.
