I don't see why it wouldn't... sounds to me like ALL pets grow. Makes me wish I coulda charmed the bull... he'd be the size of a house by now LOL

Heh.

Is your wolf a good tank?

My lvl 7 wolf dosn't seem a good tank against level 4 grawl hammer guys :P

Maybe he's just weak atm :P

Regards, Ashleigh.

He does pretty well usually, at least he doesn't die as much now that he's level 20. I stopped bringing him with me for the Ascension trials - I needed the 2 skill slots. If I go back to other areas though (like around Yak's Bend where those pics were taken) he doesn't ever die.

My pet is a stalker, now level 19. If I ditch it and get a different pet (new to me) do they adopt the same level as the old pet, or start again with their own level back at !?

Also, athough my pet is level 19 and I've had it from the start, mine doesn't seem to have grown any. When does this happen?

BTW what are thunderstones, and what are they used for?

Lasher Dragon · May 20, 2005, 06:45 PM // 18:45

The pet begins at whatever level it is when you charm it - it has nothing to do with any previous pet's level.
If your pet is 19th level, I am sure it has grown, unless you charmed a 19th level animal - in which case I'm sure there are plenty of people that would like to know where you found it.

Synergie · May 20, 2005, 06:52 PM // 18:52

So how do you tell what level a pet is at before you charm it?

Same way you tell the level of an enemy - select it and look at the title in it's health bar, which unless you have changed your UI should be at the top middle of the screen.

As an experiment head over to Ascalon and find a low level ranger with kitty and party with them, you should see a size difference between the two pets..

13 or 14, I was in Beacon's Perch and "Dodged" past the Ice Imps/Pinesouls in Lornar's Pass.. it was scary, but Smokey was worth it.

You can't charm other people's pets, and that's Old Mack's bull. And no, you can't charm Joe, either.

lynx · May 21, 2005, 10:17 PM // 22:17

Do you know if the stalker cat grows,too?

Syuveil · May 29, 2005, 08:00 AM // 08:00

To my understanding/experiences all pets grow.

Anyone have a pic of a warthog?

Was anyone else pissed when they found out you couldn't charm Oink?

DrSLUGFly · May 29, 2005, 08:53 AM // 08:53

It makes total sense that pets would grow. From a programming point of view you just have to change a couple variables, the difference between a wolf the size of your fist and one the size of a house is just a number. But from a RP perspective it's necessary. Having a pet grow in size and skill would encourage you to keep it instead of constantly changing when you find something else.

I just got my pet spider. Hes so friendly, but don't get him angry because he bites!

Elena · May 29, 2005, 03:44 PM // 15:44

creepy spider anyhow my pet is now level 12 and i hope it will grow once level 13 *crosses fingers*

wgregory87 · May 29, 2005, 05:00 PM // 17:00

so far i've loved and hated pets. started with the stalker and quickly got rid of it and got a wolf because I didn't want to be stuck with what they gave me. Then I got to post and needed to get another stalker (so hard to find until I did the shaleiv quest; had to do it twice because I had to go back and released my wolf). Then my stalker got to about 10 as well and then I got to yaks and got a snow wolf. I think im going to stick with it for a while.

MeiLong · May 29, 2005, 05:06 PM // 17:06

Alrighty... I'm pre-searing and I want a bear? I'm a W/R and those Black Bears are totally awesome.
Is there any way at all to get my mitts on one of those beasty things?

You get a quest from a guy on the map with Devona, its about collecting bear pelts so you get a quest arrow to that map. (Or go south/east of snow mountain).

That area has level 24 monsters & they like to go in groups, going to try that one day.

wgregory87 · May 30, 2005, 02:39 AM // 02:39

well my snow wolf is now level 14 (starts at level 5 of course) and its still the same size as the starting snow wolfs as far as I can tell. Maybe the boost is at level 15? There are plenty of animals you can't tame. There were spiders in pre searing that you couldn't tame as well.

Wrong, you can't get bears in pre-searing.
