Charmable Animals List

Ive never seen an "elder wolf" or a "fern lizard" where can u find them? So if anyone knows please tell me Thanks!

P.S. if anyone knows any more please tell me

Can u only charm animals that have a green text for thier names? Or can you charm ones with a red name too?

I can tell ya the dune lizard packs a helluva punch, mine's l10 and does as much as my l19 stalker did...

Im thinking of starting a ranger and want a pre searing bear pet, but i dont see why you have to be a necro and have the help of a second player? Can someone explain

dune lizards are pretty cool. i had the stalker, the moa bird, the warthog, the lynx, but the lizard (a big komodo dragon) is just cool as hell. at lvl 14 he was dropping dead fast (around the dunes of dispare). as soon as he hit 15, he was able to take ALOT more damage and stood up alot longer. i am sure the rest would have being that lvl. but i never tried them out that far.
yes, they do grow, and you can tell the differance between the sizes when you go back and look.
at first, i was just using all the pets as a meat shield, they lasted a few hits. oddly enough, i have noticed that the creatures you go up aginst, at least for me, usually picked the pet to attack first.
i seen what everyone has placed about the different pets, except the dune lizard. anyone have extra info on them?

I have yet to see what a Dune Lizard looks like. Has anyone got any pics of one?

I know this is kinda off topic but i have a question does anyone know the hell can u get Bleached "SHELLS" (not carapces) it would be nice if someone knew =)

I posted this info in a different topic - but it really belongs in this thread

Prima Eguide list of valid pets

OMG
i just did the 7th time ive tried to get to that special town u get to from beacons perch its impossible!

Their color varies a bit - sometimes they look greener - depending on angle/shadow etc.

Can you please use the Search function, there are numerous threads on this topic. One of them is this: http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/s...ad.php?t=11494

Actually, this one was started before yours.
But yes, the Search function is usually useful. *wink

Here's an interesting quote from the Prima guide on pets, do you think it's actually true? This is the first I've heard of it!

Prima Guide Pg 187: "Pets may experience "evolutions" as they level and are granted stronger or weaker attacks and defenses. Which evolution occurs depends on your play style and how you utilize your pet."

Cool...i dont know about that...that quote from the guide sounds pretty cool though! lol maybe a winged lizard? and by the way..=) my lizard is getting bigger![IMG]gw032.bmp[/IMG]

Or u can just get one (a bear) in lornar's pass like i did....

dont know if anyoe has said but you can tame the Spider but only the ones in the Underworld.

Oh dear...

"Melandru's Stalker! I choose you!..."

.........

Yes, it's true. If you haven't named your pet then you'll eventually see a prefix added to it's name, like "Hearty" or "Fierce" or "Elder". If you have named your pet then I don't know how you can tell.

Can you charm a rabbit... I really want a lvl 10 rabbit.. it would be soooo kool

he i'm yust going to dispatch my level 13 wolf and get a new and not name yust to see this happen wee

Really? Thats awesome! The dev's really need to make a Pet Stats page like they have for our characters via (H). Of course... I'm sure it's already been mentioned in the suggestions forum... but I'm gonna do a search just to be safe...

This is what it states in the Guide
Animal Lvl Dmg Armor
Strider 1 Prc 3-5 AC 3
Wolf 2 Sla 4-6 AC 6
Warthog 2 Blunt 4-6 AC 6
Moa Bird 3 Sla 5-8 AC 9
Melandrus Stalker 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Snow Wolf 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Lynx 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Warthog 5 Blunt 6-10 AC15
Dune Lizard 5 Prc 6-10 AC15
Black Bear 5 Sla 6-10 AC15
Elder Black Widow 20 Prc 17-29 AC60

So clearly the black widow is better

Does the level of Beast Mastery affect how likely you are to charm an animal? If it is too low does that mean you can not charm it at all?

Or does BM simply add more attacks and pet skills for you to use.

Poppinjay

in order to have a strong pet u must have lots of beast mastery

I read some where that there has been a BLACK Lynx spotted but that it is VERY rare. I was wondering if someone else has heard this.

BM level has nothing at all to do with your chances of charming an animal.
Neither... it makes your pet hit harder, crit more often, and of course makes your BM-linked skills better.

I have the black widiow. it was kind of hard to get seeing that the group i was in liked to die alot, bt at the end of the escort mission there a chest. pop it and out comes the spider. Ive never seen it poison a player (dont mean it wont happen) but i have seen it kick the hell out of un skilled players. Oh and to the people that have the bear the spider dose kick its ass hands down, i got lucky in a 4v4 to pet battle one.

spiders are really cool thats no surprise =)

which mission?

What's really too bad is that they don't have armor for your pet. That would be way cool.

Also has anyone tried to charm a drake?

If you're level 18 and you get a new pet (level 5) will it gain XP even when you don't (e.g. against level 9 enemies)?

That is, I believe, because you're comparing a level 20 to at most level 5 for the others.


However, from what I've heard, all pets are equal except for the spider doing slightly more average damage...

Nevertheless, from my own personal experience, stalkers seem to have very bad luck streaks with damage (deals little damage and takes quite a bit of damage) while other pets usually fare better.

And there was that bit about bears using brutal mauling?


In any case, I do believe there is some kind of difference between the different pets (ex. Melandru's Stalker has weaker stats but does more when used with pet skills--by the way, that's an example of a possibility, not an actual proven fact) but as with everything else, all works out pretty much evenly in the end--which means your pet choice is based on ascthetics alone at the moment.

No.... whatever the (fastest attacker or best damage ability) is the best pet why cause if that guide you stated is correct then all animals EVEN YOUR SO CALLED better SPIDER IS exactly the same for those who don't believe me. Do something people never do the MATH.....

This is simplest math just think about it.
the FORMULA I come up with according to your guide:
AVG DAMAGE = (LVL) + 3, ARMOR = (LVL) x 3

Animal Lvl Dmg Armor AVG DMG ARMOR
TAKE ANY PET
Elder Black Widow 20 Prc 17-29 AC 60 (17-29)/2 = 23 60
vs
Strider 1 Prc 3-5 AC 3 AVG DMG 4
If using the formula making the strider is lvl 20
20+3, 20x3 he ends up being same as spider NO DIFFERENCE
Now assume lvl of black widow is lvl 1
ATTACK 23/20 = 1.15 + 3 = 4.15 round to a whole number = 4
AC 60/20 = 3
He would be exactly the same as strider NO DIFFERENCE ANY STATS HERE!

So all you people thinking pets are better then each other is only the pet's OVERALL ATTACK SPEED or ATTACK EFFECT or some being QUICKER Pets .....

I even argue with you guys that if you just take damage TYPE then
the WARTHOG is better than a spider cause there is armor and effects that blocks PIERCING damage<NECRO> but I don't think theirs anything except shields for BLUNT damage. Now I would have to know the speed of pet travel + attack speed + pet's abilities <if any apply> before you know what pet is actually <FACTUALLY> better than another PET.

But like guys I think some pets have special attacks and attack speed that give certain pets advantages over others.

when you do the "poor tennent" quest theres bees , i wonder if u could tame them..i doubt it but it would be cool

EDIT :: Its in pre-searing

Doubt it, like Moss Spiders they are probably "not an animal" but clearly vegetables.
