Death Leveled for Dire... but got Elder?!
Yesterday I set my level 16 Ranger up to get herself a new pet I got her the lowest level armour I could & added 3 superior runes to it & armed my 2 monks(set to Avoid) with Resurrect, Healing Signet & a disabled Resurrection Signet... just like the guide says.
First I headed to the Latenda Bog for a test run with a Crocodile. We cleared the areas of threats & started the process. A little over 15 minutes later I had a nice fat little level 15 crocodile so I re-enabled the Resurrection Signet, threw on my armour & charmed it... only to get a level 15 Crocodile. No Evolution to be seen so I figure it must be delayed till the little guy gets to his next level... but nooooo... level 16 Crocodile is Not what I was expecting to get here so to the Tamer he went
Now by this time I've decided I missed my Stalker from Pre Searing so I head over to Old Ascalon to cap myself a pretty little kitty All set up again & just over 15 minutes later there sits a lovely level 15 Melandru's Stalker so I charm her... only to find a Level 15 Elder Stalker!?! No damage was taken by her & I cannot for the life of me figure out how this happened
I will be taking her to the Tamer today since I levelled myself to 18 last night in hopes that it was due to my lower level... & besides, a Dire Snow Wolf seems like a lovely companion to me
I wonder if anyone has had a similar occurrence or knows why/how this happened so I can avoid it with my new Pet. Thanks in advance for any information
-Chianna
[Edit] It happened Again! I must be destined to have an Elder Pet :'(
Just getting started...
... alllmost there....
Wth?! :/

Nope, sorry to say I've only ever got Dire through death-levelling.
Sucks to be you, I guess.

I've never death leveled a pet so I can't help you there. To level a pet to dire thats already charmed, put [skill]Call of Haste[/skill][skill]Call of Protection[/skill][skill]Predatory Bond[/skill][skill]Symbiotic Bond[/skill][skill]Enraged Lunge[/skill].
Use the first 4 skills, then use Enraged Lunge to cause massive damage. I level my pets to dire outside Yohlon Haven using the bounty outside to help speed up the process. You can bring a monk hero till its easier for the pet to resist damage but the insects dont pose much of a threat outside the poisoning which you should bring Troll Unguent to counter.

I think it just happens sometimes. I've used the same method (listed Here, btw) on 4 pets, and so far two have been Elder and two Dire...
Also, Elder's not a bad evolution to have, either...

actually..
This might be coming too late, but oh well. Apparently getting a dire pet is not guaranteed--sometimes you'll get an elder. However, I think it's entirely possible that you got a dire crocodile on your initial practice run. I just now death-leveled a lvl 15 dire crocodile with only Dunkoro--however, the word "dire" did not appear in its name upon capture. Rather, the name of my old pet appeared: "Pet - Ralph Nader." Once I typed in my chat: "/namepet" , the name: "Pet - Dire Crocodile" appeared. This name reset feature is mentioned by Valerius in the miscellaneous section of his thread: "Ultimate Pet Guide".
Hope this clears up any confusion.

Well about 8 months ago (before I took a break from the game) I levelled my Phoenix up to level 19, aggressive, by me taking all damage while he killed minotaurs, but recently I got him to 20 in normal combat and... he's still aggressive despite name resets =(

I must say it has been quite some time since I've checked here or played GW.
With the inicial test run of the Crocodile I had done a name reset & he was still just a Crocodile, I then leveled him up one, but no change in evolution, so to speak.
After the Wolves I had given up on getting a Dire pet & decided I may be better off with a Hearty one anyways so I picked up a little feathered friend & he is, well, not so little anymore

/namepet Dire
Now minimize your player list so that just the word Dire is showing. Feel better already don't you? And look at all the time and trouble you saved.
