With all the new Traders that have been added to the game, shouldn't there be a Pet Trader too?

It would be nice to switch pets without having to start them at level 5 every time. Either by switching your pet Type or by being able to purchase any pet that has been released to the existing Pet Handler.

Naturally have pet colors to pick from would also be a wonderful money sink.

Nope. Part of being a beastmaster is raising and training your pet.

But don't forget, Elena, that they level pretty quickly at first - they catch up quickly enough...

I like the part of the idea where you can use him to switch between pets you already have. Maybe make him the Pet Keeper instead? He watches your other pets for you? It would be nice if you could train more than one animal without starting over every time you charm a new one. I would like to be able to train a wolf and a bear and a lizard, and so on, and be able to decide which one I want to bring with at any given time. I know there's not really much of a difference between the animal types, but at least collecting and training multiple animals would give us something more to do...

Pets have a issue, if you capture a bear you end up with a lv 5 pet in a lv20+ area ... he dies too fast to gain XP.

So you have to go back to a early area (Kyrta) and raise his levels, that takes quite some time.

That is not raising, that is grind.

Don't pets gain EXP even when they are dead? I seen a pet die while fighting a large group, and while he was dead he lvled up.

A 'holding pen' for captured pets is a nice idea.

I still think they should allow the option of eating your pet to gain health in the middle of a big battle.

I think it may be fun to be able to purchase a temporary pet from a trader, ignoring your class, which you can't use Beast Mastery skills with. Just a throw away tank.

Instead of comparing this to traders, you should reference it as like the Storage units. They place that dude who is only located in Ascalon, outside of the town, in every city near a holding pen. You would then pay him something like 50 gold for each pet you want him to keep (one-time fee per pet), or something.

Also, speaking of pets, I wish there was a way to see it's experience. Add a little bar in the 'h' menu or something. Alright, there's my 2 cents.

A zoo where you can purchase animals...the trader sets the prices. Sounds good to me. I may yet get a spider.

Takes too long to set up camp, fillet, cook, eat... all while fighting.

Why can't you sell a pet. Say you have a level 20 pet and someone wants to pay you 1k for it or whatever? Or you want to trade your 18 level bear for someones 10 level spider.
