in underworld.

im not sure if he will 'grow' he was already level 20 when i got him.

Pets get bigger?! My lv 7 ranger has a giant crazy chicken (lv 6) that's already 2 feet taller than him! (ranger created at medium height) That bird is going to be INSANE HUGE!

Dude your avatar is freakin hilarious!

And since somebody always asks. Yes, that is actually a picture of me, but I don't have the beard at the moment.

You can either buy the hunter's shot skill if you are missing it though, or get it in pre-searing by travelling to the little village where the third Ranger trainer is. Have to say, I tried a Moa for a while, didn't like it at all. Just not my style, big ugly dino-bird following me around... :P

I heard that pets change depending on how you use them. Ones that are used to attack a lot will become Dire, which means they do more damage. The ones that act as tanks or die a lot will become Hearty (which I assume means either better def or more health).

I had named my pet G I R, but one day I logged on and he was named Hearty Wolf. He was also bigger than before. I assume when they get one of those special conditions they will also grow in size. I don't think it happened at a level gain, but I wasn't really paying attention. Happened around level 13 or 14 I think.

That's just what I heard at least. I really don't know as much about pets as I'd like to. Wouldn't mind finding out actual stats on each pet. I know there are differences between them, but just how much? And for some reason, I can't name my pet G I R anymore

I really liked the look of the bird - it looked downright deadly with that beak. The thing that turned me off was how weak they sounded. I think they should redo the sounds, make 'em sound more like the raptors from Jurassic Park or something.
I like how my wolf howls randomly... there have been some pretty amusing cutscenes with the wolf walking up and howling in the face of whatever NPC is yammering on at the time LOL.

So, the Strider/ Moa Bird is overall, a good pet.

Just the sound that makes them sound weak?

yeah i wanna buy some thunderstones..
but how does it works, i have a level 12 wolf...would it work with that?
wisper me inn game as Unseen Walker

Yeah the wolf howl is great - one of the main reasons I went with the wolf

You have to use Otyugh's up in the Ice caves area for fun, it's great to get a whole pack of wolves going at the Minotaurs. Not very useful, but makes for nice photos. And all the howling afterward...

Cool, I'll have to try that. I haven't used Otyugh's yet, so I have a question for you - does it draw animals from a good distance away? I ask because it seems very rare to see more than a few animals on radar at the same time.

you know, i thought my wolf had grown, i just figured i imagined it, but i got it at level 2 and now it is level 17, i renamed it though and its name never changed after that for me, whats this thunderstone thing by the way, sounds like someone making stuff up to me, can anyone come up with some proof otherwise?

That is very cool that pets grow, I did know this! I am liking the Stalker from pre-searing, we've leveled together and I'm sentimental already!

If I were to tame a new pet now (post searing, I'm just a lowly 9 but still..hehe) would it be at my level or would he have to be trained back up to level 9 from level 1?

Also, we can name pets, another thing I did not know, how so?

Forgive all the questions, I'm pretty new.

New pets start at whatever level you find them at, usually quite low. They do seem to level pretty fast if you bring them with you all the time though.

To name your pet, use either /namepet or /petname, followed by the name you want to give it.

Most pet in pre-searing are lv2, except the stalker...

post-searing pet are all lv5... with the exception of verteran pve

pet damage are pretty much completely rely on BM attribute... some pet like the bear got their own attack skill without the owner using it.

Gotta agree with you Lasher. I've had my pig since pre-sear and I only noticed the size difference when grouping with another player with a pig. I'm not sure what level they were at but it was somwhere around 13 for mine, and 10 for the other one. The size difference was noticeable.

Later, when I started through the jungle areas and I got a look at the other pigs, the size difference was enormous. My animal was at least double their size. Pets must get larger with level. Or maybe with mastery...I don't know.

I'm not giving up my wolf, so yea I planned on buying the skill when I get a chance. I got 6 ranger skills from 3 ranger trainers, are you talking about the little fishing villiage? I did the quest where you have to fight the big aloe seeds...

I may be wrong about growing, it might be that they just made all the models bigger but the bird is twice as tall as my monk (he is as small as a male monk can be) Sorry I don't have a screenshot I'll try to take one next to a large male warrior...

So does the bear gets easier to charm with a higher Beast Mastery Skill level?
