There are tamable spiders in Pre. I got bored and explored everywhere. You do have to look around for the area they are at (Can't remember right now, as I've been busy with alot of post stuff for sometime). I don't know how the spiders in pre stack up....was playing Necro/Warrior at the time. After Ascenion, I switched to Nec/Ranger. Going after a dune lizard pet. Thinking blood magic and pet will work good for PVE.

No. There ARENT tamable spiders in pre. It claims they are "not animals." Moss spiders, i know. But unfortunately for us, they are not actually animals.

There are some "friendly" spiders around Barradin's Estate in Pre-Searing..you can probably charm those.

I have a question guys. I wana capture the UW spider, but I plan on going down to UW as a trapper. What does my beast mastery level need to be at in order to charm a level 20? I would hate to get down there and not be able to charm the spider because my attribute points were too low.

dready · Oct 05, 2005, 08:12 PM // 20:12

you dont need any points in there just your charm skill thats it..... but be warned MANY ppl want the spider so if you go in with a random group you WILL have it stolen from you.. take a group of ppl you know and trust that way you will get it

1. Bears CANNOT be charmed in Pre searing, it was patched recently.
2. Moss Spider CAN NEVER BE CHARMED.Nor any other spider(excluding underworld)
3. The only spider breed that can be charmed is in the underworld and you get it at level 20.
4. Playful and Hearty appear on pets names when they reach a certain level. First Playful then hearty. When these apear, it means you pet has increased in size and Str(im not sure about str).
5. The strongest pet in the game as in the most dmg is the elder black widow spider found in the underworld.
6. The weakest is a moa bird, tho it attacks fast.
7.Wolfs, Cat breeds and dune lizards do arond the same amount of damage.
8. Warthog does blunt damage.
9. Bears are the second strongest animal in the game.

I hope that helps ^^

No and no.

The Moa bird does not attack faster, it just *seems* to attack faster. Watch it's damage, it peck and pecks and pecks but only *sometimes* hits. So it looks like it's attacking faster but really it's just for show.

Bears aren't necessarily the second best pet. As someone graciously pointed me out numerous times every pet is equal in Hp, speed of attack, attack dmg and defence to the exception of the Elder black Widow in UW, that pet was set apart form the others for *obvious* reasons.

Unless Anet puts up information about pets. All pets are considered equal in every area but the spider.

Actually the Elder Black Widow just appears to deal more damage becuase it comes with the Elder evolution standard. Whereas most pets that are trained up normally end up with the Hearty evolution. So people are comparing the Hearty to the Elder and going... "Yes, the Black widow does more damage."

Where the truth is that an Elder Warthog (or any other pet for that matter) does the same exact damage as an Elder Black Widow.

Btw, My favorite is the Warthog. I have one named "Comrade Pig".

Valerius · Oct 08, 2005, 06:36 PM // 18:36

i got my Black Widow as a Dire... did they change it? or was i just unlucky?

kitolz · Oct 08, 2005, 06:52 PM // 18:52

I dunno, but from my experience, my pet bear is... fatter. Fatter in the respect that it's harder to walk around them, and they can body block you easier. I'm pretty sure I'm not just imagining it.

they grow in physical size, they DONT change appearance (bloodsoaked teeth etc)

Alexia Crippletoe · Oct 09, 2005, 02:34 PM // 14:34

ahh is that every animal? (stalkers, moas etc) coz i saw someone with a lvl 20 stalker and it didnt look much different to a lvl 5

jesh · Oct 10, 2005, 06:27 AM // 06:27

Elder pets are actually pretty small compared to the hearty evolution, it may have been one of those.
