Well I was already planning to have each of my Monk's heroes cap a different pet. Now I can put them in here when they're done, I guess.

Kudos to ANet on this part of the update. I took a look around here yesterday and it's beautiful; reuses Shing Jea art, but in a good way. I love how they blend that scenery into the more forested area up the hill. Really, really gorgeous; I wouldn't mind leaving my pets here. Gogo Battle Isles Wild Animal Park!

I do want to know, though, because it was rather poorly explained - do you actually have to give up your pet to the trainer to see it in the Menagerie? I talked to Emryd and told her she hadn't seen my Jingle Bear yet, and she said she'd added a level 5 Jingle Bear, but I couldn't find it. And if you do have to actually release it, can you get it back? The exact same one? I'm not releasing my little FuFu unless I can get her back; if that's true I'll just have to wait until next Wintersday and cap another bear on another character.

Wiki claims if you put an animal in your Menagerie it will have babies - really really? That's cute. Do we actually get different (or at least smaller) models for the babies?

This may end up convincing me to make that ranger I was thinking about (if I buy the extra slot) a Beastmaster instead of a BHA interrupter... just to be different, and because White Tigers look so nice and she'd be able to get one early.

You just talk the tamer & the animal will automatically spawn where it's supposed to. Although I had to rezone for it to do it. And yes the animals have babies, but it's a shrunken down verison of the bigger animal. Which makes the baby wolves look deformed imo...

You only have to Give it away to tamer if you want to tame another.

I've been trying to find out about that and apparently the answer is no....

You don't get the exact same pet back.

You can ask the trainer to spawn animals of the same level/evolution of your previous pet, and a flock of them will appear, so basically your pet is gone but you have the option to charm a new one that is exactly like it.

Oh, okay. So I'll probably see it if I come back today. Thanks!

Lol at the mini-pets that aren't minipets. So much for the idea of cute little fluffy moa chicks... guess we'll just have to get the minipet of that one. The baby bears'll be cute though. Little Jinglies everywhere... ^__^

I just pull a little mental jujitsu on myself. When the trainer summons the group, the first one to approach me is it. "Oh, THERE you are, Charlie! Been enjoying the time with your peers?"

Edit: If you add a Black Moa to the Menagerie, you WILL see a bunch of fluffy moa chicks. The progeny of other moas are obviously beyond the chick stage.

I gave each of my heroes a different pet:
http://wiki.guildwars.com/wiki/User:...nArkanere/Pets

But since most of them were under level 20, I got the pet unlock pack anyways.
Now I'm only 5 pets away from filling the Menagerie.

Ah... completion feels so god when you are crazy in the coconut...

I might remake my Ranger.. Pets were the only reason I really played him and after a while the same one bored me, so I delled him. But this gives me a reason to remake him and give my pets awesome Pokemon names! xD

I can't see me ever using the place, not what I (or anyone else) wanted for multiple pet choice. They just didn't listen and prefered to give us a another grind content feature instead.

I like the idea of the Menagerie, and even the pet unlock pack to an extent. What I don't like is being able to essentially buy the exotic animals, even if it is hard to earn the coin for it. I worked hard in the Underworld to get my Black Widow, as I am sure there are those that worked hard for their Black Moa, or Rainbow Phoenix. Now there's a way out of the usual journey, and somehow that just doesn't sit right with me.

I -love- the idea. I often cap pets that I already have on other characters (for reasons unknown to myself; perhaps I feel the pet 'fits'?) and tire of having to train them again or death level again. And, now I can give my character I feel that would go well with a certain pet (in this case, a phoenix) and yet didn't finish Factions.
Additionally, I can, for instance, charm another phoenix without having to do the Imperial Sanctum again. Maybe it's not that hard, but I find the mission annoying. ^^
Pets always meant a lot to me. When I impulsively decided to get rid of the first pet I ever charmed, I cried. I laugh now thinking of it, but I really was upset at that time. xD

Except, as stated above, I don't like that people can basically buy the exotic animals. I won't be buying any pet unlocks at all, because when I fill the list up by myself, I can feel a sense of satisfaction that I earned it in some way. I don't have anything against people who buy the animals, but I feel that it takes away a sense of accomplishment; basically, to me, they're simply robbing themselves. But, eh, each to his own.

Also, the Menagerie is beautiful. I love Shing Jea Island, and this really pleased me.

I'll be charming every single pet and training them to lvl 20 so I can unlock all the tiers. C: I love pets~

Ahahaha. That would be cool if the babies could be taken as minipets! Would totally drive down their values, though.

I do think letting people unlock prestige pets is kind of cheap (and I even stand to benefit from this!). I mean, even though you can unlock elite armors for PvP you still can't use them on PvE chars. And they really should fix that bug that lets your heroes tame the Rainbow Phoenix... that really cheapens it. Unless it's only possible if you capped it in the Eye, in which case a hero with the RP could be the new status version.

People have been begging for a pet zoo for as long as the game has been out.

Kinda sad that the jingle bear is all by itself, that it has no family Anyway, aside from that my zoo is filled with all the "common" pets, I just need to re-get my phoenix and black widow. Also gonna wait to get the moss spider, and I have the rainbow phoenix in my HOM but i'm busy evolving my jingle bear on my main :P I wish the menagerie had some point towards gw2...

my zoo is nice and full! my ranger capped all the animals with the help of her heros on the second day. she also had the black widow, and my main had the rainbow phoenix. so the only thing missing is the mos spider. i still havent decide if i wann get it by unlocking it or just wait to be lucky with gifts. its to bad you cant charm the pre moss spider or pick up the babies and hugs them. they are so cute!

Does it actually look full when full, all I'm getting so far is 2 types of wolves and the black moas sitting in a cave, there's only 2 white tigers walking around why aren't there more to make it look full

question.

everytime I go in there's only 1 crane and it has minipet cranes. anyone else got 2 in there after handing in.
probably not a big glitch, but its funny to see every other parent animal came in 2s or more.

(except for the jingle and the phoenix)
