There's not much to say :} All pets are baby models - right now they can only stand around and look pretty, for a limited amount of time. Later they'll be able to follow you, attack, gain experience, and all sorts of lovely stuffs.

Be sure not to use your pet as a "signpost" and keep its name RP :} I don't think you'll have any problems there.

ooo a signpost and i cant keep the name??? i named it Urvasi is that ok?

That's perfectly fine - people used to use pets as signs for shops, because pet names are so easily changed (for example changing the name to "Weapon Shop" or "Buy Here" or something equally silly), and this isn't allowed. So as long as you keep the name a 'name' and not a sign, you're great :)

Pets take your energy to appear with you - at least your Groffel does right now, due to its nature. You are limited to only one pet, because they take a lot to raise and care for.

A question:  Since characters are only allowed one, has it been thought about the idea that maybe someone may not want to keep a certain pet, and instead wish to get a different one?

I don't know if I was imagining things or not, but I am *positive* mine actually followed me one day after a /pet follow rather than just vanishing as it normally does ...

yes i've noticed that too! once every now and then the groffel will go for a walk and occasionally you'll see one trotting around (very cute when they do :P). I spent several hours running around trying to get my groffel to chase me and over the space of one week i got it work maybe twice? I'm sure it will be fixed - just not urgent

For finding a name, I suggest you check this site out, it has a lot of name generators for various things, such as character names, spell names, and a plethora of things. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a pet name generator, although you can always use another one, as the names can easily be used for pets.

This is a bit of a dumb question for this thread, but I figure here is as good as any place...

How/where do you get a pet? I'm just curious because I have seen a few dozen pets wandering around at times.
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: Karyuu on July 20, 2006, 04:08:22 am
You get them through a quest :} Pets have a rather magical nature... consider this a clue!
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: Ziljaden on July 20, 2006, 04:19:04 am
Cool, thank you very much. Now I guess that all I have to do is find the magic hut again(if they still have it).

New Pet? I thought the only pet available is a groffel?

Here Anfa clicky this ...... New Familiar (http://hydlaa.com/smf/index.php?topic=23241.msg271099#msg271099)
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: Marra on July 23, 2006, 02:17:08 pm
I'm curious too about how to obtain this new familiar. It would suit my character perfectly! Will I have to settle with my Groffel, or may I "swap" pets in some way?  ;D If not now, maybe later on? I got my pet from a borrowed ring, before I got my own, would that matter in any way?

Thanks,

Marra

Yesteray I spotted a Yulbar when I realized half of my guild members has it.... O_o And I didn;t even hear of it yet :P
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: Fayodin on July 24, 2006, 06:51:13 pm
yea so how do you get a yulbar??
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: hook on July 24, 2006, 06:53:11 pm
AFAIK the same way as a Groffel, only when you summon it the first time it's a Yulbar instead of Groffel - sheer luck, I guess.
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: Laith on July 25, 2006, 05:34:44 pm
is it possible to get a Yulbar if you already have a groffle? If not is there a way to get rid of the groffle?  :)
Title: Re: Pets
Post by: Kalika on July 25, 2006, 06:14:03 pm
its weird when i first got my pet it said a yulbar but its a groffel :shrug: ::|

can we have life 3 pets and have stables around cities where we can just put the other 2 pets in (which of course you have to purchase the stables) and just swap them when we want after we reach a stable, but of course the pet that stays with you longer likes you more and like and gains more exp and lvls and stuff like world of warcraft, cuy its hard to just choose one pet after many cool ones are made.
