What pet should i get..? - Guild Wars Forums

Ruranbowmaster · Jun 26, 2007, 09:28 PM // 21:28

Im looking for a rare pet, and if possible, one that gets rather large if not huge. I have all campaigns,and for any of you that forgot what the pets are...

Rat, moa, black moa, croc, warthog, phenoix, black widow, wofl, bear, lynx, dune lizard, tiger, white tiger, lurker, reef lurker, crane, flamingo, lion, hyena.

Black Moas are pretty cool.

Don't get bears. They're inferior.

Mad King Corn · Jun 26, 2007, 10:03 PM // 22:03

I personally love the black moa for its size, but still love my phoenix for my all around favorite.

Dia Saro · Jun 26, 2007, 10:14 PM // 22:14

black moa <3 my ele has one ( yes ^^ e/w with 10 petmastery :-O [when i help guild mates to get survivor title in low level dungeons

])
my ranger had one (8 slots, needed 1 pvp slot -> deleted)

like em

but i like the wolf, too. If it wouldn't be the standard pet from every pvp char i would take em. Like his smilar

How does an E/W get 10 in Beast Mastery? More to the point, why does your post look an equation?

His ele/wanger has a small speech impediment and loves math...

Spider, black moa, dune lizard are all the most sought after. So while they may be the "best looking", they are certainly not "rare" as a result.

"Wofl" - makes me hungry for breakfast...

Mournblade · Jun 27, 2007, 02:26 AM // 02:26

There's no such thing as a rare pet, but the spider is the hardest to get followed by the phoenix and then probably the Black Moa.

Only pets from Tyria (and i'm not sure if its all of them or some) can grow larger as they evolve. The rest stay the size they are when you capture them.

I'm a fan of the regular (orange) tigers and the Black Moa myself...

Destinyy · Jun 27, 2007, 06:40 AM // 06:40

Yeah, Spiders nothing special... 10K will get u a run thru FOW to get one...

I have a Snow Wolf and I love it... I love the way it howls every so often, kinda eary...

Not true elonian pets also grow as they evolve and some harder to get is elder tigers and cranes wiki says near impossible capture one but... my ranger has an elder crane from outside of maatu keep...

anyways spiders are ok but like destinyy the snow wolves are pretty cool

Etta · Jun 27, 2007, 08:35 AM // 08:35

Snow Wolf for me. Good size, nice howl and also look rather good when max lv. A cool pet for a cool rager.

My snow wolf has been with my ranger since I started GW ages ago. I named him, Dog Meat.

Maybe Dia Saro is German: E/W: Elementalist/Waldlaufer or in English, Elementalist/Ranger...

Destinyy · Jun 27, 2007, 10:27 AM // 10:27

Lol Etta, Dog Meat.... My Dudette has been with me since lvl 15 I think, I get chills when she howls and I always type it up on screen, something like: "Did you guys hear her howl? hehehe" I always get nice answers back, people love my Dudette...

My other Ranger has a White Tiger, they're mean and I love how they growl and snarl when they fight.

Zenmai (Yes, my Crit Barrage Hero) has a Dune Lizzard, they pretty rad too, they hiss a things.

Most of the bird pets annoy me with their squawks.

Pengiwinwin · Aug 26, 2007, 03:35 PM // 15:35

Get the new white moa in GWEN or Black wolf the both are huge and are awesome

I don't know 'bout this. I've been leveling a phoenix (got dire yesterday =D ) and I'm fairly certain that sucka' is growing. It sure looks bigger than when I first got it..

It also does this cool Glowy thingy every so often. I've only seen it after it kills something, So I'm thinking it might have to do with experience..

On topic: I'd probably go with a Gw:en Pet, That Polar bear and White Moa are going to be bomb. Here's all the pets in the game:

<3 my R's Strider

White Tigers are pretty cool. If the Crocodile was slightly different (instead of Dune Lizard reskin - makes it look a bit strange), it'd be pretty cool too.

Coloneh · Aug 27, 2007, 05:35 AM // 05:35

I love my red crab. not many people have one. they arent at all hard to get, but people dont have them.

$neekie · Aug 27, 2007, 08:13 AM // 08:13

Crabs rule!

Got a pet crabby, wanted to change him for another but i just cant bring myself to bring him to the tamer. And factions pets do grow, well my crab does anyways.

mzzls

PS. newbie question, if you named your pet were can you see how far its evolved??

Mclarenf1905 · Aug 27, 2007, 08:16 AM // 08:16

Get a Black Moa, definitely one of my favorites.

Alperuzi · Aug 27, 2007, 08:30 AM // 08:30

I had a wolf, phoenix, bear and a lion on my ranger. I currently have a lion, its my favorite (and its called Voltron

)

I plan to get my heroes lions too, then form the Lion force

:P (too bad hero pets cant be named... come on anet, fix it already...)

If you named your pet, type /petname without a name and it will revert to the original name. You can see if its Playful, hearty, dire etc...

**Marty Silverblade** · Aug 27, 2007, 08:49 AM // 08:49

Polar Bears are ftw. Anet regained some sense and didn't give them the Brutal Mauling crap.
