Mir Chronicles - Wizard Pet Taming

[Phade]

Hi All,
Apologies if this has been discussed already, but i have not managed to find any information on this topic.
With regards to taming pets on the Mir Chronicles server, are wizard pets that viable for grinding? The reason i ask as i have seen many beta videos for the server but every video i have seen, no wizards are using pets. Is there a reason behind this?

Taming pets is half of the fun on the wizard for me, so i'd love to know peoples thoughts and views on this topic. Also are there a large variety of pets to tame on this server? If anyone knows that is

Thanks in advanced.

I believe I'd be right in saying that taming hasn't changed.

You can tame 5, as long as you're over the mobs level and that mob is alive (As in not Undead).

Whether or not the time limit of this taming has been changed or removed I'm not sure

i'm fairly sure there's not been to many servers that have wasted any time on pets in the past 4/6 years.
even if you can get your pets in 15 minutes, the 2/3 hr time limit on taming is just not gonna match up to simply aoe grinding on a wiz
pets where sort of a slow and cheap alternative to the heavy mp cost aoe farming.
so i dont think you'll see more then 1/2 wiz's using pets on a daily base

They just stop the boredom of continually levelling Imo. I think the C# Mir files have it sussed though.

you can now tame the Welsh and Scotts, They make good pets.

Indeed.

I never tamed on a Wiz before I played on Jamie's files lol. Couldn't be arsed with the 2 hour untaming bs.

The only reason I found for taming on Euro was to kill afkers in SZ lol

what changes did they make to taming in the c# files?

I used to like taming as a wizard, but after a while it just became a chore to get 5 pets and level them I would now rather just have a quick hunt and waste some mp

I think with a few changes the pet system could be improved a lot, like giving an ability to increase tamed time, or to store the pets so they do not disappear when logging out... maybe a different way to level the pets so the pets level increases as you level making lower level mobs worth taming

best thing to tame was feeder ants as they heal you so as a wizz behind a wall if an archer hit u its all good

You made some good points there Akaras, i agree some minor changes would improve the pet taming aspect of the game. To be honest coming from Arcadia i really enjoyed that pets were so important to lvling they added a huge boost to the wizard solo lvling. Especially level 70+ when you obtained your first effective pets (Guards). Moving forward though i think from what the majority have mentioned i think i may give the wiz a miss this time. Not sure why but i love the unique element of having a group of 5 pets with you, if lvling solo with a stack of mp is superior i think that the tao or archer maybe the option for me

Taming in the C# Mir files = no timer on untaming, they save when you logout and they level up with exp instead of last hits.

It's defo the best change to wizards I have seen since I started playing Mir. I would have that system over a protection ring anyday.

you can still get 5 pets

yeah on arcadia pets are pretty powerful and helped a LOT... I still didn't bother with them unless I was killing a boss or whatever, they got in the way a lot for me when I was running around naked using turn undead on zuma dungeon mobs :P

the number of people that stopped and asked why I was naked made me laugh

Haha i remember that Akaras, many people thought it was bizarre but i could see you're logic in it. With turn undead just as effective with no gear i can only assume it's not affected by mc? - Why create a repair bill Are you rolling a wizard again?

I think that's my concern, some versions or mir i have played pets have almost become redundant for wizards. All too often they die very easily so many players decide not to bother taming them. But it's a pity as from my perspective pets are a prominent feature of the class, i just hope it doesn't get pushed to one side. Only time will tell i suppose :k

(On a separate note, is anyone aware if tele rings & recall sets will be an option to drop in game?)
