By the time I tame pets and start leveling them they untame before they reach level 7 as it takes so long to level them, and with the freezes that happen occasionally its R.I.P pets as just happened to me with level 6 BigHedges.

On Mir 3 if you logged in within 10 minutes of disconnecting your pets would still be alive and belong to you. Is there any chance of implementing this?

Also can you make pet leveling easier or just make tamed pets permanent or like 6 hours till untame?

May I ask how you are leveling your pets? (they need to hit first)
I have had no problems getting 5 tongs/wedgemoths to level 7 in under the 2 hours that they stay tamed for and in general it takes me 10 to 20 mins to get 5 pets

A few weeks back taming was changed to what I was originally coded in euro to be, The lower a mobs HP the better chance you have to tame it

As for the Mir3 10 mins thing, I can relay the idea to the team and see what they say

It would be nice if the tame lasted longer and you could relog within 10 minutes, however I can't say I've personally had much difficulty taming and levelling pets within a reasonable timeframe.

Remember that levelling them is based on number of mobs killed, not the exp they give (would be better the other way around imo but hey ho) and that they need to "tag" the mob to get the kill. Best to feed some low level mobs to them (WT lobby is a nice place).

What's the current timer on tamed pets?

Can't remember if they untamed after an hour or 2 on Euro.

Also, they way the level goes on the level of the mob they kill, and obviously the amount not exp of the mob.
That's how it was in the old days anyway, as I used to have a pet leveller room with level 255 mobs with low hp/EXP and the pets would level instantly.

After you tamed all 5 pets, find a BugBatMaggot or an RootSpider and you have lvl 7 pets super fast. After that take them to whatever place you desire.

Memory says wizards could have 5 pets unless they had a Frost Tiger when that was the only pet they could have. Just seen a wiz with Frostie and 4 fox cave spiders. Anyone know if that's the way things should be?

Well pets i get are hard to get sometimes depending on foxes, i take them sabuk secret gate and lure mobs and let them killl BBMs etc. WT lobby is ok but bit lacking. Should just make a pet leveling room with weak mobs in for people to level them up. I do think the length of time till they untame needs upping though, Modern day gaming and all that.

Eventually a whole pet system is hopefully going to be put in place... But this keeps getting pushed back due to bugs...

Sam

the pet system is just fine the way it is atm. expect it really ist worth taming much at low level...

you guys did well at fixing the bugs with it and i have no issues with it whatsoever now. if it were to change im sure it would worsen
