Best place to level pets?
The one Casey Squid
Hi I have a level 20 moa that I leveled over the course of the game. Im going to get a warthog though. Since he is level 5 what would be the best place to level him?

I would suggest the minotaurs outside of Ice Tooth Cave or the mergoyles outside of Gates of Kryta.

ya outside of port sledge Witmans Folly i believe? even if your pet dies from the grawl it will still gain experience and levels dead.

Question: Is the XP for the pet calculated based on the pet's level or on your level? Say, if you're level 20 and your pet is level 5, and you kill a level 12 foe, will the pet gain any XP at all?

I'd say right now the best place to level any pet, whether level 5 or 19, is in a barrage group in the new UW. It's primary job is to be a corpse anyways, so why not suck all the levels you can off of it? Though I must warn, in my experience leveling many different pets, if most/all of the levels are attained while the pet is dead it doesn't seem to evolve at all. You can take this as good or bad as it's basically an elder without the elder name. You can always rename this unevolved Warthog if this happens, /namepet Elder Warthog.
As for the XP comment, it must be based off of the pet's level since it levels fairly quickly against mergoyles/minos at low levels and you don't acquire any (or nothing significant) from these monsters.

Pets seem to get about the same exp from anything...any level.
I took a pet to the Minotaurs outside of Ice Tooth and It leveled about every 2 runs killing them.

I'm not calling you a liar, I just thought that pets leveled similarly to characters, ie based on pet level vs. monster level.

Pets gain levels based on their level, not their master's, and how many people are in the party. Multiple pets in the party have no effect on how much experience the pets will gain, only the number of people does. Also, they do gain a bit more experience than would a player of the same level. I can't give much detail as to that, since Epi is the one running tests on it.

They also do not benefit from quest or mission rewards, only gaining experience through combat. There is no range limit, nor does the pet need to be alive to benefit from the kills. The pet gains experience appropriate to its level, not to the owner's level.

The question of "WHERE" to level up all depends on what kind of evolution you want your pet to be when it grows up.
Since im a fan of Elder pets, the mergoyle wavebreaker outside gates of kryta are the best.
Symbiotic Bond + Mending = Lvl 5 pet who can kill lvl 12 mergoyles.

I thought I was so smart and brought my pet along on the ascension mission... not realizing you don't get a pet in that battle! Doh! That would have been fun, though, instant level 20!
