Ranger / Hunter Class - pets ?? newbie

ok i just have Guild wars campaign, no exp , im currently trying out the ranger class, and while on other charectars, ive noticed lv 2- 3 tigers running around the place in / friendly, now my ranger has charm beast, is there a limit to what he can actually tame at, like in WoW its level 10, and are there any other beasts other than the tigers u see running around, rangers can can charm, sorry to ask so many questions, but no ones on im my guild to ask these things and this forum is so knowledgeble can u abandon the best if u see something else u'd rather have thank u

You can tame at any level with 'Charm Animal'. Don't mind the pet attacking you, it's over quickly. Also, any pet that is green you can tame easily, there's a list of tameable pets on the Wiki.

If you no longer want your pet, go to a tamer NPC (list is on the Wiki), and off-load your pet on that guy. Then go tame another pet.

rangers can tame any pets at any time as long as they dont already have a pet, there are certain animals that are friendly but cannot be tamed like the rabbit and moss spider in pre, the only difference between the pets is the type of damage they deal ie) slashing/piercing or wotever, the actually damage all pets deal is the same.

Dont worry bout asking questions m8, its the only way to learn.

But anyway,
Fairly sure you can tame anything at any level, max lvl for a tameable pet is 5 anyway, with the exception of a few lvl 15 tigers, lvl 20 black moa and black widow.

Yes you can abandon your pet anytime that you want, you need to talk to a Pet Tamer and it will take the pet from you.

Not sure if you have found it yet but, http://www.pvxwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page is a very good website for any questions you might have.

And from a fellow ranger, hope you have fun as this class.

PS.
As soon as you can, get this skill. Widely regarded as rangers best skill.

there you'll find every charmable pets

the pet lvl's allong with you

most pets are lvl 5 or 3 i think then there's the phoenix,the blackwidow,the black moa and the rainbow phoenix they're all lvl 20 from the start

I believe the Phoenix and Rainbow Phoenix start at level 5, and are leveled as normal from there. How else do we get people complaining about their pet not being hearty after leveling it in Wurms?

You can tame most animals that are green. When you click charm animal, they turn red, and as long as you can survive their attacks while the charm animal skill completes it's activation, you will be able to tame it. If you are a level 2 and want to charm a level 10 animal, you might need some help

Once they are tamed you can't tame another animal, unless you give away your pet to a Pet Tamer, an NPC that will take it from you.

good luck!

ok, u were all very forth coming with great info, just have couple more question, i tamed a tiger, just for a look see, and wondered does the pet only attack when im being attacked , i take it, theyre's no attack button u can click for the pet to attack a mob, O.o

You can cause your pet to 'lock on' to a target until the monster is dead. This is done with the little (tiny) pet bar you can pull up, hit the '1' button next to your pet's name in the Allies part of the party window. You can also set your pet to not attack at all, and by default the pet is set to Gaurd.

wow, ok thanks for that tatile = D ./cheers

Ok, i have also found , which might be useful for those who are also new and trying out the ranger class, when u do have a pet tamed, and go on mission or quest, u need to have the skill charm beast, showing or ur pet wont be seen or show , to travel with you = )

Another helpful tip: When in a town or outpost type /petname (name) and it will name your pet any name you want. /petname Sparky

EDIT: I posted it first Snograt

Also, when you find a pet you like, give it a name!

Just type /namepet whatever-name-you-want

Fr'instance /namepet Noobeater

ohhh ok thanks for that, will do, that is a useful tip thx = D

ok i re named my pet Biteyu, thank u very much for that info, but now after grinding on mobs and questing, im now lv 9 my pet is just lv 6, is a slow leveling thing??

ok, my pet seem to be leveling quite slowly, at first when i tamed it at lv 3 it seem to level up nicely, now im lv 10 and its only 7, guess i need to sent to attack more higher mobs or same level one to get it some exp , also i was wondering if there was a way u see how much exp its getting or how more it needs , ???
