If its for PvE aswell as PvP, allows you to chose pets rather than have to discard them, and comes with a skill update that makes equipping a pet even vaguely worthwhile, yes.

So probably not then.

All with balth faction.

Aldric · Apr 20, 2009, 10:08 PM // 22:08

I generally use my pet alot so I will do my best to unlock a lot of them myself but I imagine i will suppliment that by some Bathazar faction farming

RupDur78 · Apr 20, 2009, 11:02 PM // 23:02

Yes i have already maxed my bath cap at 55 in prep for the update and am caping pets my thought is get all the pets and have faction on hand so i can just go in have all pets and let them train them.

Daesu · Apr 21, 2009, 12:24 AM // 00:24

If this makes it easier to switch pets then it is useful. The problem now is, you cant easily change pet without training it again and trying to get the same evolution and all that boring crap.

This place should fill up the current design flaw in the game. To make it easy to equp a common pet on your heroes, have it trained to level 20, and end up with the evolution that you have already unlocked.

Chthon · Apr 21, 2009, 01:33 AM // 01:33

Presuming pet check-in/check-out for PvE, I'll probably go capping and leveling pets like a pokemon junky.

What would especially help would be some buffs to pets to make them worth using. Discussion here.

kazjun · Apr 21, 2009, 01:46 AM // 01:46

Got a mass of most types of pets at lvl20 just from my 3+ years on my main's heroes.

Yeah, I got bored and stuck a different type of pet on each hero. All are hearty except my spider. Too bad I dumped it for a rainbow phoenix. Guess I'll just go cap another one after the zoo goes active.

Wouldn't go out of my way to train I bunch up if I didn't already have em though...

Empress Amarox · Apr 21, 2009, 02:14 AM // 02:14

I'll probably log on and take a look at it, but I don't play anymore, so unless something huge happens that makes me have an interest in GW again, probably not, at least not any time soon...

I recall pets being pretty much borderline useless, so yeah...

draxynnic · Apr 21, 2009, 03:00 AM // 03:00

I'll put my existing pets in, and cycle new ones through when pets are levelled through siege devourer runs (or other situations where I can bring a pet along without being hampered). However, I don't see myself putting any extra effort in to get it filled.

Miss Sarah Lauren · Apr 21, 2009, 05:50 AM // 05:50

I'll try and unlock them all by capping+leveling.. till I get bored of doing that for all my chars.. then I go and do something else =]

Jugalo Dano · Apr 21, 2009, 06:48 AM // 06:48

I will just for something to do, I used to get a kick out of mino farming with my pet to level it. I wanna know if the menagerie is account based or not though, so maybe I can use it to give my ranger a rainbow pheonix from a different character.

Arduin · Apr 21, 2009, 08:29 AM // 08:29

It's account based, but to charm the Rainbow Phoenix in the Menagerie you'll still need to have the appropriate rank in KoaBD.

Interesting point, maybe we can earn it on one character allowing others to cap it - from same account. They seem to be making things easier for account based monuments too so its the same sort of feeling. Yet you are still able to accomplish things character based if you want.

Sjeng · Apr 21, 2009, 10:38 AM // 10:38

I have this list with my 10 characters plus 3 ranger hero's on each (40 pets), all with different pets, because I wanted to get almost all pets. Never got to doing it, but now I just might

I'd like a zoo hehe. Great place to be afk.

It might not be that much work, depending on whether the tiers are unlocked globally or by species.

For example, if one character unlocks the top tier by putting in a dire or hearty moa and another character puts in a level 5 white tiger, can I then get a dire or hearty white tiger from the Menagerie? If so, then I'll never need to level another pet. Just cap the new species, add to Menagerie, and withdraw the top-level evolution I want.

If the tiers go by species, I'll be following your plan.

But that could get a little complicated. Are regular, white, and black moas one species or three? Orange and white tigers? The different colors of crabs?

In any case, I'm glad to have the chance of getting the special pet statues for the HoM without giving up pets to which I've become attached. I do wonder, though, if a Black Moa charmed from the Menagerie will qualify for a statue, or if I need to go back to Echovald for the original. It will be nice to have the option to get different evolutions on the Black Moa, but will non-elder ones count for the statue?

Tiers go by species, so you'll need to bring a Dire or Hearty of each pet to unlock tier 7 for them.

If they look different, you'll need to capture and unlock them seperately. If they look the same and only have a different name, only one of them will suffice. As far as I know, only Bear/Black Bear, Crab (blue)/Reef Lurker, Crab (red)/Lurker, Lion/Lioness, Moa Bird/Strider and Wolf/Snow Wolf are doubles.
So you'll need to capture only one of these pairs.

Black Moa, White Moa en Moa Bird/Strider look different, so you'll need to capture all three of them.

You mean if you charm the Black Moa on characters that haven't already charmed it in the first place? Good question.

BenjZee · Apr 21, 2009, 11:30 AM // 11:30

Thats a great point, aswell for pheonix - but as the monuments are going account-wide anyway let them give us this 'free' monument

Lonesamurai · Apr 21, 2009, 01:36 PM // 13:36

Well, I never did the wintersday quests, but last night I went and capped three Jingle Bears with an alliance mate who had done them... so maybe the rainbow phoenix will be ok once its in the menagerie
