Re: New ways to trade pets!
There are other trade possibilities that become available as a result to these changes as well. If you have a rare pet to trade, for example, you might be able to find someone on another server willing to give a TCG mount for it. Since these mounts are also now account bound, at least once learned, ...

Re: Could We Ask Them To Just Defeat, Not Kill?
I will, however, offer something to refute this point... DEHTA . I know it's a parody (and the GEHTA [Gun for the Ethical and Humane Treatment of Animals] still makes me laugh when I do their questline), but still they do exist. I'd imagine they'd be against Pet Battles in the first place... (One r...

Re: Leveling a low Rare vs Catching a high level one.
The stats should generally be the same; leveling a pet does not give an advantage over catching a high-level wild pet. The reason why this was the case in Pokemon was because when your pokemon defeated an opponent, it gained Effort Value (EV) that increased its abilities. A pokemon with high EV leve...

Re: Could We Ask Them To Just Defeat, Not Kill?
I'm not going to try refuting your opinion, Obi, but I do want to point out something in regard to the naga gladiatorial mini-matches you mention. Both factions in this franchise have a history of taking slaves and using them in gladiatorial combat for their own amusement. PvP Arenas are an example ...

Re: Rare Quality Pets & Random Stats
It seems to be doing something like this, yes.Betic wrote:ok so if Im following you correctly, you're saying one has a score of: STR 13.9 SPD 10.1 while the other may have STR 13.5 SPD 10.5
so it's rounding the 2 .5's down but rounding the .9 up?

Re: Rare Quality Pets & Random Stats
Are you saying I'll never find one with BOTH fantastic HPs -AND- Attack/Speed? That is correct. To have an increased score in one area, a pet loses points in one or both of its other stats. Here's how I'm invisioning your pool concept (please correct me where I'm wrong) (numbers are arbirtary, for ...

Re: lil'smokey impossible rare?
Unfortunately, currently all Lil' Smoky pets are Uncommon quality. Only captured pets boast variable Rarity. Those learned from items or obtained by other traditional means have a predefined Rarity based on how they were obtained and how numerous they are. The developers have hinted that they are co...

Re: Rare Quality Pets & Random Stats
I think it was a critter type, I am not exact but I was very supprised when I saw that one where it was a copy of the STR favor, but with one more. I would much like to know how the stats work myself :) There's nothing to wonder about in this case. The pet with an increased Strength has a decreased...

Re: Minfernal
I went out and farmed pets for almost an hour, and I never got one as a back up pet. 1 in 20 battles seems VERY generous, and a little inaccurate. Just my experience. Were you farming in the correct area, though? If Minfernals pop as secondary pets, it is likely that they would only do so in the re...

Re: Wild Pet battles and Forfeiting
I've had the same experience with wild pets that spawn in threes. Same stats, quality, and lineup. After a while, I simply ignored the other two and only engaged in combat with one since the other two were clones of the first one. Is it encounter memory? Or is it simply how pets are spawned, and if...

Re: Rare Quality Pets & Random Stats
You're thinking about stat pools incorrectly. It functions in a much more simplistic manner than IVs in Pokemon. Each pet has a stat pool. The size of this pool is based on two characteristics: Pet level and pet rarity. All pets that share the same level and rarity share the same stat pool. Its from...

Re: Color of a pet and Rarity
I do the same for certain pets, though I tend to look for other versions that only appear with a desired skin first. Take the Forest Moth for example. It can appear boasting any of four color variations. That said, some of these colors are duplicated by wild moths that only appear in those colors: R...

Re: Could We Ask Them To Just Defeat, Not Kill?
This is a game where we slaughter other beings, sentient or otherwise, in the thousands. Often for reasons that make little or no sense. It seems silly to ask that the Pet Battles minigame be treated any differently than the rest of the game.

Re: Snowy Owl?
Per Blizzard's definition it is currently winter; WoW only has two seasons, summer and winter. That no one has encountered a Snowy Owl, however, indicates there are other conditions that have not yet been met. Perhaps they only spawn in specific weather conditions during the winter. Or, as someone s...

Re: Wild Pet battles and Forfeiting
I noticed this as well, in Felwood while hunting for Fel Roaches in between Minfernal spawns. The Roaches there spawn in sets of three, and I began noticing that all three spawns seemed to generate the same combination and rarity of pets. I initially brushed this off as nothing more than coincidence...

Re: Minfernal
Excellent information, Snowpeaz, and in keeping with my much more limited observations. That they can appear as the secondary pet is especially useful. Thank you.
I have to ask, though, during this process did you all get your rares?

Re: Starting stats, what determines them?
All pets have a set statistic pool based on their level and rarity. Among each type of pet you will see variations, as you noted. Some pets will sacrifice health for a boost in attack and/or speed. Some will favor one statistic above the others. Some will demonstrate a more even spread. Pets of equa...
