Experience for pets

Hi, lets say a lvl 20 char is changing the secundary to ranger and charms a pet. This pet will be lvl 15 (depends on where you charm animal) and needs experience to get to lvl 20.

If this lvl 20 is taking this pet to a lower lvl area/mission in which the owner does get 0 XP, does the pet still get XP? Or is the pet only gaining XP if the owner gains XP?

Curious to see the answer.

I trained a level 5 lizard when I was 20

I saw my pet level on stuff that was giving me zero exp


pets get experience according to pet level
(not owner level)

Thanks a lot! I ll go for a lizzard too...

BTW beautiful Guild name! (one of my chars used to have the name Seraphim Suuk)

I traded my level 20 wolf for a level 5 bear. I was able to level the bear faster by training him while wearing a major beast mastery rune. However, I don't take him on missions, I find those 2 skill slots can be filled by more useful choices.

in my opinion a pet is not used to its fullest by yust carrying charm animal and comfort animal try feral lunge and/or with poison arrow or try being a super distrupter using youre pet also for distrupting ^^

oh and on topic arent pets meant to not get exp from quests and missions ? only from monsters

This could be an exploit who knows,but your pet will lvl even if dead.So take your lvl 1 pet or what ever to an area with high lvl mobs,let em die and just keep killin stuff.Use this at your own discretion because i have no idea how AN decides what is an exploit, its a mystery to me.

probably should post A-net before power leveling youre pet wich i yust did so well see what they say ^^
