I want a Bear Pet - Guild Wars Forums

ReKsiF · Jul 15, 2005, 09:00 AM // 09:00

Ok, now I have seen 1 person with a bear..But I am trying to figure out how it is possible, when EVERY time I try it breaks the charm? Someone plz help me out...How do I get a bear? I was assuming that if there were some skill that stunned the bear or kept it from attacking somehow that would be a sure fire way, but nobody seems to possess such a skill...So, I am here for help..Any suggestions?

Squrl Boy · Jul 15, 2005, 09:04 AM // 09:04

i wouldn't know for sure, but i'd guess the higher your beast mastery skill, the better chance you have... but that's just a guess.

Judas Hawksriff · Jul 15, 2005, 09:05 AM // 09:05

Yeah, are you talking about pre-searing by any chance?, what level are you ?

ReKsiF · Jul 15, 2005, 09:06 AM // 09:06

Yes in pre searing...And I am only lvl 3...

Judas Hawksriff · Jul 15, 2005, 09:10 AM // 09:10

hmmm - like Squrl said - the best thing to do is stick all your attribute points on beast mastery, but you're gonna have to level up a but more first - you can get to about level7/8 in presearing by just doing all the quests alone

Squrl Boy · Jul 15, 2005, 09:14 AM // 09:14

Yeah, i had tried to get myself a bear when i was in pre-sear too. i had just given up after 4 different bears mauled me to death

i just assumed that it couldn't be done, but maybe if you devote all your points to Beast Mastery you may be able to get one pre-sear.

ReKsiF · Jul 15, 2005, 09:14 AM // 09:14

so are you sure that will actually work? because if so that can be done..I thought it to be almost impossible..

Judas Hawksriff · Jul 15, 2005, 09:21 AM // 09:21

Theres a few thread already on the forum, try

http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=18526

The guy at the bottom sounds like he tamed one, me, I stuck with the stalker

You might have to leave it for a bit - i'm not sure if you can tame one in pre-searing, although - you could be the first

Apparently you used to be able to do it - but it might have been fixed in a patch (undocumented tho)

Squrl Boy · Jul 15, 2005, 09:27 AM // 09:27

Yes, he tamed one....at the end of the game. It may be worth it to try to get a bear in pre-sear just for the bragging rights

as for the level 7/8 comment. I saw a lvl 15 with the last character i created in Pre-sear ascalon.

sorry, you edited while i was typing. too bad that image is so small i can't see his level.

ReKsiF · Jul 15, 2005, 09:30 AM // 09:30

Yah he got one but that was WAY into post-searing..>

I want one now dammit..LoL

ReKsiF · Jul 15, 2005, 09:31 AM // 09:31

Hmm, are there any skills that stun or what not that you know of? Because I think that may work...

Woah - I suppose it is do-able - i was just talking about diong the quests tho, to get a level like that you'd have to ingore all the quest, kill all the monsters til you stop getting XP, then go over the wall with someone and kill the charr til you stop getting XP, THEN, maybe, do the quests

Tanis Q · Jul 15, 2005, 01:52 PM // 13:52

I have a feeling there was a thread somewhere that the ability to tame a bear pre-seering had been removed

I have just started a new character and been all over pre-seering and did not see a single 'friendly' Bear

Algren Cole · Jul 15, 2005, 02:10 PM // 14:10

you need to go with another character. an interupter. you start your charm and when the bear tries to break the second character interupts..

it's the only way you're going to get one pre-sear

EverBlue · Jul 15, 2005, 02:22 PM // 14:22

You could always wait until Shiverpeaks. Because apparently Bears only like a green Ascalon and high-snowy peaks. Although those funny chocobo like birds can live and WILL live anywhere, it seems. Even in Charr infested land, where you think they'd be eaten for food.

birds are notoriously the dumbest animals in the world...it makes perfect sense to me

EverBlue · Jul 15, 2005, 02:27 PM // 14:27

And Charr must be the second dumbest to allow them to wander freely.

... I want a Yak companion. Those things rock.

Darkest Dawn · Jul 15, 2005, 03:16 PM // 15:16

There is a way to get a bear once you get to Beacon's Perch. Take the henchies and use them as fodder to get by one to two fights until you find a bear on the right side of the valley in Lornar's Pass. Charm and die... lol I just got mine before the Ice Imps squashed me! Now, Out of three attempts, one had no bear, the other two times there was one. So it may be a bit of a hit or miss. There was just one, never more than one in that area, so keep your eyes peeled!

John Waffletord · Jul 15, 2005, 04:16 PM // 16:16

I heard that you used to be able to stun a bear (with a hammer of some sort? ive never been a warrior, so i dont know) and then use the charm animal while he's stunned.

But i also heard they fixed that or something.

Edit.. Someone said you could use an interuptor or an interuppting skill to stop the bear from breaking the charm.. but are there any interuppting skills in pre-searing?

No, it doesnt work. And no, there are no interrupting skills in pre sear. My dad and I just went out and killed every bear in Wizard's Folly trying to charm a bear and it hasnt worked, no matter how many times he knocks them down, thay just break the charm when they get up again.
