Plus not only did you need to keep food on you, but arrows as well. If you didn't feed them, they could get unhappy and run away. Pet loyalty and the joy of getting your pet to the highest rank of best friend.įeeding your pet. I remember leveling my Grimtotem Spirit Guide from 30 to 70 grinding for hours. The third slot needed to stay open to tame pets to learn moves.Īnd you had to level up all your pets from the level you tamed them as. You had to go out into the world and tame pets with moves like bite rank 5, fight with them for a bit so you learned the move, then teach it to your other pets.īTW you only had three stable slots so you really only had two pets. Some pets like the Frostwolf in AV could outrun epic mounts. Pets had different attack speeds, with Broken Tooth and Bloodseeker Bat having the fastest attack speed at 1.0 and the slowest where the bears Ursius (2.4), Young Forest Bear (2.5) and Black Bear (2.5).

Special moves like screech, prowl, shield shell, etc even later in Vanilla. The only pet moves where growl, cower, bite and claw? Dash was added for a few families later on in Vanilla. I want my toaster wolf to do everything!Īnd even though I don't miss carrying around a bag full of ammo (or forgetting to go buy ammo before raid time), I do miss being able to craft the best ammo as an Engineer.īird of Prey family was called the Owl family. I don't want to go back to "such and such is the best pet" scenario though I'm hoping for a way for us Beast Masters to turn whatever pet we want into the best pet for whatever situation. There was just no other way to know what pet you had to go tame to learn what skill, or which had the best attack speed. I did like how complicated pets seemed in Vanilla - that's how I found Petopia in the first place. "No raid tonight? Awesome, I can go work on Humar." I also liked the Loyalty system. I remember having to level up melee weapon skill for whatever weapon you currently had just so you could disengage properly or something to that effect.Īnd although I probably wouldn't want to have to do it again, I did kind of enjoy "working" on a pet I tamed Humar when I was lvl 70 in BC and lvled him up on caster mobs in Terrokar.
