New aspect of farming code?

I just went out to smush a few minotaurs in elona on my monk and had a great idea, why don't i capture a lizard and get it powered up in about 10 minutes

all the other times i went in there were 3+ lizards, but when i take charm animal there are zero.. hmm

Animal spawns are random.

Think about it tho. Why would they remove animals from the area if someone has been farming?

rofl. It would not make sense that you would be "farming for a pet" >_>

Yeah, I think it's just been bad luck.

ANet's To-Do List:

1) Balance skills
2) Fix bugs and exploits
3) Nerf lizards
4) Finish Factions


Yeah, somehow I don't see ANet giving too much of a crap about number 3. Hell, if anything they're probably thrilled that you want to use a pet. The last skill balance update was very pet-friendly, and the names of many of the Factions Rangers skills seem to imply that pets are getting even more next chapter.

Well go more than 1 time.I kill lizards all the time by accident.They get caught in my cyclone axe.

Well I use animals as MM food....

Rofl!!

I'm not daft enough to have just gon the one time, I checked a few times

This same thing has happened to me every time I wanted to charm a different pet. I think when you enter an area with Charm Animal equipped, yet no pet, you are forced to actually search for the animal.
